The question was asked me yesterday by colleague Luichy Sánchez: If the vaccine card or the PCR test is going to be required in the next baseball tournament, why establish percentages for each stadium?
Let’s say that these percentages depend on how many people have been vaccinated in each city and from there the 70, 60, 50%, etc. are established. But, if they are going to ask for the card, shouldn’t it be the same for all teams, isn’t it the same in any city?
The other thing is the subject of the tests, cited by President Lidom: Will this PCR test have a date of having been carried out, how long in advance? I wrote it yesterday when I said that the subject is complex, but it also seems somewhat incorrect to think about such mechanisms. Take a test to go to a play to see ball? Would you do it?
I reiterate my opinion that you should find a way to simplify this methodology. There is no longer a State of Emergency or a Curfew, so the issue must be focused more than anything on a general% for all parks and the mandatory use of a mask.
DYNASTY: In 2017, the Houston Astros won the World Series by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers. At that time, the manager was AJ Hinch and his assistant bench Alex Cora.
From there, Houston has obtained the right to play the Division Series for 5 straight years, now completing with a dominance of 3 wins and a loss to the Chicago White Sox. It was so easy, that in this last game yesterday the score was 10 for 1, overwhelming.
Dusty Baker, the 72-year-old sophomore manager, is laughing only now. He won the West Division with 95 wins and has been able to advance although last year’s team lost his center fielder George Springer (he went to Toronto) and also his star pitcher Justin Verlander by operation.
Houston is now going to the Division Series against Boston and Alex Cora himself. Astros players were harshly booed in Chicago (over the two-year-old mess of the signal stealing), but in Boston that won’t happen. There is also manager Cora, suspended for the same reason.
THE TABLE: A “man” home run was fired by Freddie Freeman off Josh Hader in the 8th. inning to guide the Atlanta Braves to victory in their particular series. The home run had a special stamp because Freeman is the Braves’ main man and Hader a premium reliever, perhaps the most powerful closer in the National League right now. Hader had 102 strikeouts in 58 innings for an average of 15.6 strikeouts per 9 innings, exceptional … Freeman took her out between left center, by sheer force, the score even at 4, with two outs … In this game, the Starters behaved like most in these playoffs, nobody complies. Eric Lauer, from Milwaukee, 3.2 innings, and Charlie Morton, from Atlanta, 3.1 … And the great thing is that these pitchers earn many millions of dollars and go to the mound every 6 days to see if they can reach 75 pitches. A total deterioration of what the “starting pitcher” was … Milwaukee’s Rowdy Tellez hit his second homer of the series, but it was useless … The Braves won 3 in a row after losing the first day. .. This match lasted 3 hours 53 minutes, attendance of 40,195 … without masks …
OF INTEREST: Very good teams this year in MLB that are already eliminated: Tampa, Yankees, Milwaukee and White Sox … Who’s next? Rumors already say that the Yankees will extend a 3-year contract to Aaron Boone to continue in the club … I agree, because that club is not easy to manage … Boone has a personality of a masochist-dictator, and he knows what his limits are … Nothing fates him … Houston has had three players together since 2016: Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa and José Altuve who are the key to the success of the team … Cristian Paché, the young Dominican outfielder, entered the Atlanta roster due to the coronavirus problem of Cuban Jorge Soler … The only race The White Sox in yesterday’s game was home run by first baseman Gavin Sheets … Carlos Rodón, his starter, was taken out in the third with a 2.2 innings work, a disaster … Houston’s Lance McCullers jr. went to the showers with 4 innings of work … In Tuesday’s game, Albert Pujols went 2-2 against left-hander Alex Wood, although he was removed in the 5th. by pinch runner … This Tuesday he did not appear in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher.
