05:40 The team that was ranked third in the regular season with José Moreno as manager of the year, a team that later lost strength in the round-robin. It seemed tiring to play some of the most interesting pieces of the team offensively.
05:58 Félix Dubro and Osmer Morales ended up leading the team to have some hope of playing the final until the last days. An interesting team that has a point to work beyond, like all teams, to look for depth in their pieces.
06:13 And it is to look again to play at home, in the stadium, in Guatemala, in Margarita or wherever. These last years of a Margarita Bravo without a stadium, without fans, playing practically the entire visiting campaign, ends up being a factor that does not even favor the league.
06:31 For the image, for the number of empty stadiums, beyond the fact that the capital presents all the infrastructure, the facilities and even the logistics for the rivals, I think Margarita needs fans, needs Bravos to penetrate with their people and that their story is not just the fact of winning or losing, but also to be able to combine with the celebration with their fans.
06:55 The quality of the import this year, in general, ended up being, we could say, deficient. Cases like Leonardo Regginato, who beat all year, the best imported probably in line performance, and so the Puyt, to name only one.
07:09 Cases like Jorge Tavares, a thrower of the Eagles, or Rondona, or figures like Bobby Bragley, who this last failed with Caracas. The league is not easy. Jonathan Villar could not either with the Melenudo team, a player with experience who had also come from acting in the Dominican Republic.
07:27 It is a difficult league, but we have seen something. The teams, during the last few years, beyond the fact that the import quota has dropped, also the quality of the import, which are still Cuban players, players from the Caribbean, or players of a lower rank in independent leagues, do not favor beyond the fact that the talent and the base of Criolla is above and that allows the teams to handle this of having only 5 imported.
07:55 Caracas gave up its crown, failed in the round robin, a team that also at times seemed to lack a couple of movements at the right time, but its spine remains and will continue to be a competitive team for the next few years.
08:11 The Cardinals-Helara, again reach a final, fails for the 13th time in history in a series for the championship, but this is a team that also seems to have a solid base that, improving in its import, can compete for another year.
08:28 The implementation of the watch began very late, it began to be used in December, a couple of months of exploration, practice, some scenarios did not work, there were games where the watch did not synchronize with the centerfield and the home, where in the middle of the game you had to play without a watch.
08:48 With the watch, all this is part of the adjustment, probably for next year it will be better, but with the watch we had the ability to see less-duration ball games, which is what is sought in this case.
08:59 The performance of the referees, what happens is that the Venezuelan refereeing had a cycle really well above the average, that is why the number of Venezuelan referees in the baseball of the great leagues, the Manny González, the Carlos Torres, the Edwin Moscoso, for example.
09:15 Perhaps this year was a year of many controversies, of some sentences, of indecisions, of problems, of claims, perhaps it is for that same reason, the bar was very high and now this group is still working, some of them are forming.
09:31 Hopefully in this training process next year they can be perhaps much better. To close, the Monumental Stadium, the stadium with the Grand League label, served to show something different.
09:46 It was full, impressive and record in the games between Caracas and Magallanes, but that average was considerably lower than other spectators.
09:56 Without a doubt, it is a campaign in general that is interesting. Several criollo players were seen with a lot of impact, players like Acuña, who we mentioned above.
10:06 But the average is lower compared to the 2022-2023 season. If we had to evaluate the campaign and place a score from 1 to 10, I would stay with an 8, 8.5 for the season that has just ended.
10:20 It was our opener today, a season that had Sharks of the Guaira as the champion.
10:26 Time to review the trivia in today's show on Entre Líneas. Who is the player with the least legal appearances and has scored 30 goals or more in a campaign?
10:39 The options are Luis Balbuena, Michael García, Lou Scott or Germain Palacios. You know, a player with the least appearances and has scored 30 goals or more in a season.
10:53 The answer later, as always, on Entre Líneas.
10:57 Good time to enter our press room with interesting news from the world of baseball that we are going to start in the Caribbean series.
11:06 Because the Tigers of Licey, champion of the Dominican Republic, announced their roster for the series that starts this Thursday.
11:13 Figures like Robinson Cano, César Valdés and Raúl Valdés stand out on the list.
11:18 A complete list, right? Like the starters, Fernando Abad, Jairo Asensio, Luis Alberto Bonilla, Nestle Félix, also present, Brooke Hull, William Jerez, Jorge Martínez, also known as the Venezuelan fan.
11:31 Gian Carlos Mejía, Andy Otero, Pedro Payano, Juan Dersuero, as we said, the Valdés, César and Raúl and also Jonathan Aro.
11:40 As receivers, a well-known player for playing during some campaigns in Miami, like Jorge Alfaro, Michael De La Cruz and Wester Rivas.
11:48 The infielders, Sergio Alcántara, Vidal Brujan, Robinson Cano, Kelvin Gutiérrez, Ramón Hernández, Dawell Lugo and Gustavo Núñez.
11:56 And the gardeners, Luis Barrera, Emilio Bonifacio, Diadiel Hernández and Junior Ley.
12:01 Licey, one of the candidates, as always, in the Caribbean series.
12:06 Curacao also announced their team, the one that will be present in this important event.
12:11 A really competitive team, a hybrid of players with experience in the baseball of major leagues.
12:19 Among others, the infielders, Jonathan Shoup, Anderthal Simmons, also the gardeners, Roger Bernardina, Vladimir Valentin and the thrower, Jairo Martínez.
12:29 The groups are united, the Utility Grandeliga, Juricson Profar, the Torpedo, Didi Gregorius, with ample experience in the majors.
12:37 They repeat, in their roster, three launchers with experience in the Venezuelan league.
12:41 Cody Minze and Wendell Floranus and Juan Carlos Zulbarán.
12:45 And in the same way, two figures will be present, who have just completed a campaign with the Cardinals of the ARA.
12:51 Cases like the receiver, Hendrik Clementina and also the referee, Franklin Bangor.
12:57 We move on to major leagues, because the Mariners and the Mellizos are finalizing an exchange that will send Jorge Polanco to Seattle.
13:05 A source told him, Mark Feilsand, from MLB.com.
13:09 The teams have not confirmed the agreement that would include the transfer of the Minnesota player.
13:15 According to Feilsand, the Justin Toppa relay player, the right Anthony Desclafani, the gardener Gabriel Gonzalez, prospect number 79 of the ranking,
13:23 and the right of minor leagues Darren Bowen would be involved in that negotiation.
13:28 The Mellizos would also receive cash in that deal.
13:32 On the other hand, the Yankees placed Diego Castillo as an infielder.
13:37 The Yankees needed to leave a place in their 40-man squad to open up space to Matt Gaig.
13:43 Castillo was, in this case, the player who had to give up his place.
13:47 It is the third time, and this is an interesting fact, in the winter that Castillo has been placed in the ranking,
13:53 since the Diamondbacks and the Mets tried to pass him through the Wavers list without success.
13:58 Given the interest around the league, it seems likely that this time the 26-year-old player will be claimed again,
14:06 hoping for better luck and that he can, why not, remain on the roster and start to raise the season,
14:13 the next and above all the sprint training that is around the corner.
14:17 In this way, tour of the world of baseball, interesting news here in our press room.
14:23 As of today, in 1924, Marco Antonio "The Museum" Laca Valery was born in Caracas,
14:33 recognized as one of the greatest sports communicators and entertainment of all time.
14:39 For more than two decades, he was the voice of the sharks of the Guaira,
14:43 he developed a long career in radio and television both in Venezuela and abroad.
14:48 Programs like "La Cabalgata Gillette" and "El Batazo de la Suerte" made him worthy of the recognition of the audience.
14:55 He was an image of various commercial brands, possessor of an innate talent to create famous and catchy phrases.
15:04 One day, like today, the Eagles of Zulia and the Caribbean of Anzuategui,
15:08 won their first title in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.
15:12 Zulia achieved it in 1984 by defeating 8x4 in the fifth game of the final series against the Cardinals of the ARA.
15:21 They were led at that time by Rubén Amaro Padre.
15:25 In 2011, the Caribbean of Anzuategui kept their first ring from the hand of Julio Franco
15:31 by defeating the Tigers of Aragua 8x7.
15:34 And just like today, in 2009, the Tigers of Aragua reach the tri-championship by winning 7x3 against the Lions of Caracas
15:42 in an exciting dramatic game.
15:45 The Bengalis were led by Budi Bailey, manager who made history ahead of the Maracay franchise.

19:47 Spain surpassed the 30 corners, its top of push-ups ended up being 96, twice was leader in steals of the American League with 56 and 38 respectively, and on six occasions finished above 300 points on average.
20:03 There, in the compendium, in the bulk of the offensive information, the Venezuelan ends up imposing himself, having an advantage over Pedroia. When we compare those two races, where the difference is just one more year for Pedroia, we see a player like Altuve who has scored 1,062 races against 922 for Pedroia.
20:26 The sample is 600 more shifts for the Venezuelan, more than 2,000 hits for Altuve, 2,047, 1,805 for the Boston Red Sox player who has also had some injuries during that period and that cycle of seasons, more doubles, although very similar, 400 against 394, favorable to the Creole.
20:48 In doubles, also there, that relationship is favorable as we said to the Venezuelan, and in triples also 31-15. In rumbles, already with simply the fact of having more campaigns, even above 20 rumbles, you can already know that Altuve with 209 surpasses with 69 more the player of the Red Sox, Pedroia.
21:09 In drives, there are very, very even, there are just 22 of difference, 747 against 725, we always mention the player of the Astros first, more tickets received by Pedroia, a difference of approximately 70, more punches received by José Altuve, there is an important difference, 911 times Altuve has been punched against 654,
21:37 more stolen bases for Altuve, because Altuve is on its way to 300 stolen bases, they separate it 7 of that round figure, that average above 300 of Altuve, against 299 of Pedroia, because it is there on the edge, more slugging for Altuve, better OPS, 834 against 805, now in the war, 51.9 for Pedroia, 49.3 for Altuve.
22:05 Two impact players, two short players, two good defense players, two players who served and still serve, the case of the Venezuelan as a spark for any team, for any organization, players of those who are committed there, who can become and are seen even as franchise players at the time.
22:27 Pedroia represented part of that nucleus that made it possible for Boston to break many years of frustrations, defeats, years of negative record, of seeing how in the postseason there was a possibility of breaking that curse.
22:44 Well, Altuve has also been part of a dynasty, we could say, of the Houston Astros, which after going through different processes and even years of 100 or more defeats, has now become one of the most compact teams and the strongest teams in the world of baseball, even with a really interesting farm.
23:05 So, Pedroia and Altuve, I think for those fans, perhaps a little more classic, Pedroia is a player who marked that time a lot with a team as important in the world as the Boston Red Sox, but Altuve is a player with a lot of impact.
23:23 We repeat, a player who not simply for the fact of being Venezuelan, we could say today, has an advantage in being a better hitter in terms of batting championships, more honrons and also a man who moves the pads much more quickly.
23:40 However, in defense, even, perhaps an advantage for Pedroia, but a very interesting duel, very attractive today's versus. Altuve, Pedroia, as we always say, for all tastes.
23:51 You can sing for either of the two, me, well, if they give me the opportunity to choose, I would choose José Altuve at this time. Our versus contrasted Altuve and Pedroia.
24:09 And today's closing, we focus again on the Caribbean series. In the last installment, we spoke at great lengths of the teams, of the representatives of each of the seven countries that will be present in Miami, in the Don DiPo Par.
24:22 But there is another element to consider and that you can take into account when saying, I think this team is favorite and this team has an advantage over the other.
24:31 And it is the manager, the manager who will present each of the nine, beyond a complete roster that we already reviewed Mexico, we reviewed the Dominican team.
24:42 Yakura Sao presents his team, Nicaragua also made its players known, Puerto Rico has almost already assembled its team, Venezuela with an interesting team.
24:52 But the manager factor that can have such an impact. We spoke with Yadier Molina, who will be in this incursion now, after the title with the Criollos de Caguas, after being the manager of Puerto Rico in the last edition.
25:03 And Molina said, beyond being a man with an ascendancy over the players, for everything that was his career in the Hall of Fame, without a doubt, in the majors.
25:13 That ascendancy over the group, that ability he has to reach his players, the leadership within the cave, can be a factor to consider and that can have a determining weight for Caguas to be a team that fights to be in the semifinals.
25:31 If we talk about that, of ascendancy, we cannot leave behind Ozzy Guillen. With the Sharks of the Guaira team, I think he showed it during this last campaign.
25:40 He arrived in Cluhaus, he wanted Ozzy Guillen, he got along very well with his players, and Guillen also has that particular challenge.
25:48 He is in Miami, he directed for the last time in the major leagues with the Marlins, he could be that pending debt, that quota he needs to complete that successful career with a title in the Caribbean series.
26:01 Leadership also has it, just like Yadier Molina, it will be an interesting series between these two men of experience, Caguas and Sharks of the Guaira.
26:09 Maybe with less experience, Gilbert Gomez, although not with a career that has an important projection, the manager of the Tigers has a projection of Licey, but he is still a young man.
26:21 He had some situations in the season after taking the team, decisions, questions, this and the other, but he was able to take Licey, a team with so much history, to the title.
26:33 Some say a good roster can win alone, no, if there is no leader in the cave, a man capable of leading them, then he will have difficulties.
26:41 Good team Licey, maybe there the manager, simply because of his youth, some can place him behind Molina and Guillen.
26:48 The case of the Nicaraguan team, Marvin Benard, experience, emblematic figure, but it is the first experience as such, it would be necessary to place him there with a question mark.
27:01 Cases even like the Mexican team, a team that has Juan Manuel Castro as its manager, with a lot of experience even in the Mexican ball, but that has a very good technical body.
27:12 Carlos Gastelum and company, men who have played the Caribbean series and who know how to win it, and that must also be considered.
27:19 Sometimes it is not simply the fact of the curriculum that they can bring, leading in the big leagues or not, but the vast experience leading in this type of classics.
27:27 So take these elements into account, how the manager can influence the success of a ninth, especially when you think,
27:35 whether you want to look for which team has an advantage or not in this Caribbean series.
27:39 So our closing today dedicated to the classic that starts this Thursday.
