PLAY BALL EN OCCIDENTE / PLAY BALL IN THE WEST

After already finished the first stage of the group stage in Asia of the World Classic in its 2023 edition, besides being very exciting for the entertaining games, we now move to the west, to Arizona and Miami specifically, to give continuity to this event, which on paper here in this area would also give us more emotions due to the pairings of the groups, this because they are powers in this sport, and they have not disappointed us, and having the old rivalry between the United States and Mexico in the traditional state of Phoenix, Arizona, is very attractive in every way, and a city of Miami, nurtured with high attendance of Latin Americans for many years, with the teams of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela in the same group, besides being very attractive in every way, and a city of Miami, nurtured with high attendance of Latin Americans for many years, with the teams of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela in the same group, is very attractive in all senses, It is very attractive in every way, and the city of Miami, nurtured with a high Latin American attendance for many years, with the teams of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela in the same group, apart from attractive, create an atmosphere of the old Caribbean rivalries to give an extra to this classic, that the truth is taking a different flavor to previous events, more rivalry, more delivery, and a participation of the public that has been truly exciting.
NI MERENGUE NI REGUETÓN / NEITHER MERENGUE NOR REGUETÓN

How are you doing? What looked like something ideal on paper ended up being a reality, the representation of Venezuela directed by Ómar López has given account of their rivals Dominicans and Puerto Ricans with victories 5 to 1 and 9 to 6 and thus move to lead the group, called the most complex due to the high level of the teams that comprise it with a record of 2 and 0, something unsuspected but not so far-fetched, This, because the Venezuelan team for the connoisseurs of this sport, is well structured, with the necessary pieces to think that this set is for great things and why not win the championship in this edition of 2023, have shown desire and temperament and I would add something else, a concentration, something that previous editions did not have.
A few have been surprised by this performance, but for those of us who follow the players in MLB each season, we can realize that these guys know what they are doing and their talent is more than proven, perhaps we have not been accustomed in the past to renowned players and not seeing them this time in the field makes it difficult to understand how such triumphs were achieved, But we have to realize that everything is part of a generational process and that everything at some point is over and others will always come and with them new players, these new generations that together with the excellent planning and logistical work for months of manager Lopez, which was not done in the past, I think are also part of this success so far of the Venezuelan team, the joropo sounds in Miami!
EXÁMENES DUROS PARA EL CAMPEÓN / TOUGH TESTS FOR THE CHAMPION

The reigning champion of this classic, the United States team, is located in a group with Colombia, Mexico, Great Britain and Canada, which if you want is accessible to advance to the next round, but on the field this team of the stars and stripes, has not looked quite convincing as reflected in its roster of players, the team led by Mark DeRosa beat their similar Great Britain 6 runs by 2 in what was certainly an easy victory, But it was not what many expected, supported by the work of Adam Wainwright, who allowed a run that at times created uncertainty, but in the end he came through with his experience and helped the bats to respond with runs in the 3rd and 4th innings to get a win that put them in a good position in this first day of the season.
For their second game this time against their lifetime rivals and in different areas of life, Team USA, saw how their neighbors, the Mexican team, would go ahead quickly, and again they would start losing the game, but this time without any chance, I say this because they were not able to give chase as in their game against the British and saw how the triumph escaped in the hands of the Aztec bats, In less than 5 innings they were already giving definitive numbers to this match with an advantage of up to seven runs, in the final stretch of this game they were up to 11a2 being this impossible to reach for DeRosa's team who in an attempt to return to the game could only score 3 more runs to leave everything 11a5 in favor of Mexico's team.
SABOR COLOMBIANO / COLOMBIAN FLAVOR

In any event of this type there are always surprises, it is not that I think that the Colombians do not play good baseball, only that those who were facing were the Mexicans, who despite being played in Arizona, in the United States of America and due to the proximity to the border with Mexico, that day, in the first game they were playing as locals, With all the public practically in their favor, they saw how the Colombians were a tough nut to crack, and could not beat them in extra innings in what was a truly exciting game from start to finish, having as part of the protagonism the fans present in the stadium during the 10 innings that lasted this commitment.
So far it is the most exciting game I have seen, a clash that was a real take and give me where both ninth teams showed that desire to win as if it were a final, what I liked the most about it was that every time one of Both of them scored a run, the other responded in some way, giving rise to that intensity that we could all see that day, perhaps the most eloquent moment was when Randy Arozarena tied the game at 3 runs with a home run to the left field after that his Mexican team was at a disadvantage, and in an action pointing to his shirt on his chest with the name of Mexico, awakened in the public what has been seen in the stands so far, giving rise to the response of the Colombians, who with poise and a lot of claw, they gave him vallenato flavor in Arizona, to respond to the demands of the circumstances, and take this important victory 5 runs for 4 in extra innings.
