[ESP/ENG]Nos quedamos a solo 6 outs de llegar a una fiesta de 4 equipos./We were only 6 outs away from making it to a 4-team party
Los nativos de Venezuela arrancaron su partido con desventaja de 3 carreras, ya que su abridor, el zurdo Martín Pérez salió del partido explotado por los bates de los de Estadounidenses, no pudo sacar ni un solo out, en su rescate entro el lanzador Jose Ruiz, que logro sofocar la rebeldía de sus rivales, estuvo en la lomita por dos episodios para darle paso al pícher de los Astros de Houston, el derecho Luis Garcia, que nuevamente estuvo con un buen trabajo, permitió dos carreras, solo una limpia, por su parte los bates criollos fueron haciendo su trabajo, en el cuarto inin hicieron tremendo rally de 4 carreras, para de esta manera ponerse arriba con marcador de 6 carreras por 5 y la fiesta se comenzaba a sentir a lo largo y ancho de la tierra de Simón Bolívar.
Se llegaba al último tercio del juego y era la hora de mover al picheo y hacer las cosas como en un juego de ajedrez, Estados Unidos hizo su trabajo al traer a sus mejores apaga fuegos, o lo mejor que tenían en su bulpen, y así contener a la ofensiva venezolana, Omar López trajo al primero de sus lanzadores de cierre, Carlos Hernández, el lanzador de rectas de 101 millas, quien se metió en problemas luego de outs, y dio paso al zurdo quijada quien termino de manera positiva ese capítulo, para alegría criolla Luis Arráez, le daba otra rayita de ventaja al conjunto tricolor con tremendo cuadrangular por encima de la pared del jardín derecho, hasta ese momento todo era alegría para el vino tinto del béisbol.
The 2023 World Baseball Classic is reaching its culminating stage, the names of the 4 teams that will dispute the semifinal, Japan, Cuba, Mexico and the United States will be disputing the two slots for the final of the tournament and thus to know the champion of this edition, the table of semifinalists, was completed the night of Saturday, March 18, when the North American team defeated the Venezuelan team with a score of 9 runs for 7. This was a game of many emotions and the command of the game was at times very variable, that is to say, both the United States and the Venezuelan teams had advantages of more than one run in this game.
The Venezuelan natives started their game with a 3-run disadvantage, since their starter, the left-hander Martin Perez left the game exploited by the bats of the Americans, he could not get a single out, in his rescue came the pitcher Jose Ruiz, who managed to quell the rebellion of his rivals, he was on the mound for two episodes to give way to the Houston Astros' pitcher, the right-hander Luis Garcia, who again was in the mound for two episodes to give way to the Houston Astros' pitcher Luis Garcia, who again was in the mound for two episodes to give way to the Houston Astros' pitcher, Luis Garcia, who again did a good job, allowed two runs, only one clean, for his part, the Creole bats were doing their job, in the fourth inning they made a tremendous rally of 4 runs, to put themselves up with a score of 6 runs by 5 and the party began to be felt throughout the land of Simon Bolivar.
The last third of the game was reached and it was time to move the pitching and do things like in a chess game, the United States did their job by bringing their best fire extinguishers, or the best they had in their bullpen, and thus contain the Venezuelan offense, Omar Lopez brought the first of his closing pitchers, Carlos Hernandez, the straight pitcher of 101 miles, who got into trouble after outs, and gave way to the left-handed Quijada who finished positively that chapter, to the joy of the criolla Luis Arráez, gave another small run of advantage to the tricolor team with a tremendous home run over the right field wall, until that moment everything was joy for the red wine of baseball.
Ese jonrón fue el detonante de miles de críticas en las redes sociales y en los medios de comunicación televisivos en contra del manager de Venezuela, se tenía al mejor lazandor y quien es tu cerrador, tiene la experiencia de Serie Mundial y está acostumbrado a este tipo de escenarios, les hablo del zurdo Alvarado, tras finalizar el choque, López dijo que dejo a Quijada esperando que dominara a Realmuto, cosa que no sucedió, ya que lo golpeo para llenar las bases, luego eso tampoco trajo al zurdo de los Phillies, alegando que aún no estaba listo y que Bracho si lo estaba, además de eso dijo que tampoco traía a Alvarado, porque solo tiene permiso para sacar 4 outs como máximo, pero no puedes guardar a tu mejor lanzador para un noveno capítulo sin ni siquiera haber sacado un out en el octavo y con las carreras de perder en base, que fue lo que al final sucedió.
Un primer error a mi parecer por parte del cuerpo técnico del equipo venezolano, se dio antes de iniciar el partido, se anunciaba al zurdo Pérez para abrir el choque, no es que el zurdo no pueda tener dominio, pero es una alineación plagada de derechos, y algo sabían sus rivales que salieron con todo y a batear a los primeros picheos de Pérez, mi candidato para este juego era Luis Gracia, y si se daban las cosas traer al zurdo por unos dos episodios, es decir invertir ese orden, pero el manager no soy yo, y ellos cuentan con estudios más avanzados y le hacen seguimientos a los bateadores contrarios, el detalle del abridor y el no traer en el octavo a Jose Alvarado en mi opinión fueron las fallas del manager y del cuerpo técnico.
The eighth chapter was reached, only six outs separated us from glory, to reach for the second time in history a semifinal of this world tournament and with a huge chance to reach the final, but Tim Anderson woke us up from a sweet dream that seemed that it would never end, The Chicago White Sox player was patient with the left-handed Jose Quijada and got the ticket, but if Anderson woke us up from that placid dream, Trea Turner turned it into a nightmare when he gave a grand slam to right-hander Silvino Bracho, who came to Quijada's rescue on an unfavorable count.
That home run was the detonator of thousands of criticisms in the social networks and in the television media against the manager of Venezuela, you had the best pitcher and who is your closer, has the experience of World Series and is used to this type of scenarios, I am talking about the lefty Alvarado, after finishing the game, Lopez said that he left Quijada waiting for him to dominate Realmuto, which did not happen, after that he did not bring the Phillies lefty either, alleging that he was not ready yet and that Bracho was ready, besides that he said that he did not bring Alvarado either, because he is only allowed to get 4 outs maximum, but you cannot save your best pitcher for a ninth inning without even getting an out in the eighth and with the runs to lose on base, which was what in the end happened.
A first mistake in my opinion by the coaching staff of the Venezuelan team, was made before the start of the game, the left-hander Perez was announced to open the game, not that the lefty can not have dominance, but it is a lineup full of righties, and their opponents knew something and they went all out and batted the first pitching of Perez, My candidate for this game was Luis Gracia, and if things went well I would bring the lefty for about two episodes, that is to say to reverse that order, but the manager is not me, and they have more advanced studies and they follow the opposing hitters, the detail of the opener and not bringing Jose Alvarado in the eighth in my opinion were the failures of the manager and the coaching staff.
Nunca fue un secreto que el talón de Aquiles de la selección de Venezuela, era su picheo de relevo y eso lamentablemente se dio anoche y le quito la posibilidad a los venezolanos de tener a su representación en la semifinal del clásico, pero no todo es malo y tampoco es justo hacer leña del árbol caído, hay que reconocer el trabajo de Omar López y su cuerpo técnico, que en tan solo semanas lograron cohesionar a los jugadores, que sintieran esa química, para eso también fue muy importante Miguel Cabrera, que tristemente se despide como pelotero activo sin tener el trofeo de campeón mundial del (CMB).
Toca reflexionar y pensar en el 2027, esta selección tiene a jugadores jóvenes que seguramente estén presente en dicha edición, posiblemente emerjan nuevas figuras en todas las posiciones y ojalá el picheo de relevo de aquí a ese año este mucho más fuerte que el actual, no se puede dudar que hizo mucha falta el brazo de Brusdar Graterol, esa fue sin duda la diferencia de al día de hoy estar fuera de esta competencia, fue un placer ver jugar a estos excelentes peloteros que dieron el todo por el todo para ganar y que lamentablemnte para algunos las cosas no le salieron, se llegó más lejos de los que muchos pensaron, por eso les digo, gracias por darnos tantas alegrías en tan pocos días, no hay nada que reprochar, más si de sentirte orgullosos de ustedes y de todo un país, que viva Venezuela y su béisbol.
To the erroneous decisions of the coaching staff, we can add some failures to the field, such as those of the fourth chapter, where a throw for second base, went under the glove of Jose Altuve, then a throw where Andres Gimenez made a great play and sought to get an out at second base, But Altuve could not master Gimenez's throw and that in the end resulted in another run in favor of the United States, things happened that had not happened in previous games, bad defense, the relief pitching was not as effective, you can not win a game where you allow 15 hits, give tickets and hit the opposing batters.
It was never a secret that the Achilles heel of the Venezuelan team was its relief pitching and that unfortunately happened last night and took away the possibility for the Venezuelans to have their representation in the semifinals of the classic, but not everything is bad and it is not fair to make wood from the fallen tree, We must recognize the work of Omar Lopez and his coaching staff, who in just weeks managed to unite the players, to feel that chemistry, for that was also very important Miguel Cabrera, who sadly says goodbye as an active player without having the trophy of world champion of the (WBC).
It is time to reflect and think about 2027, this selection has young players that will surely be present in this edition, possibly new figures will emerge in all positions and hopefully the relief pitching between now and that year will be much stronger than the current one, there can be no doubt that the arm of Brusdar Graterol was missing, that was certainly the difference of today being out of this competition, It was a pleasure to see these excellent players play, they gave their all to win and unfortunately for some things did not work out, they got further than many thought, so I say thank you for giving us so much joy in so few days, there is nothing to reproach, but if you feel proud of yourselves and of a whole country, long live Venezuela and its baseball.
