00:00 Today on Entre Líneas, in El Abridor, we dedicate it to LBBP.
00:07 Way to LBBP, today with the Eagles of Zulia.
00:11 In La Historia, a brand of Paul Mollitor in World Series.
00:16 In Versus, the Fielder, father and son.
00:21 And in El Cerrador, the data for a safe play.
00:26 All this and more in a new edition of Entre Líneas.
00:29 Up next.
00:30 It's a pleasure to greet you again, friends.
00:49 Welcome to a new episode of Entre Líneas.
00:51 Today, we dedicate El Abridor to the path to LBBP.
00:56 To the path we are following to bring the best coverage of the LBP on this screen.
01:05 Starting Saturday, the 21st, next week, the LBP will begin.
01:12 We have already analyzed three teams.
01:15 Their fundamental structure, Tigres de Aragua, Navigantes del Magallanes, Cardenales del Ara.
01:21 Today, we are going with the Eagles of Zulia.
01:24 A young team that promises to build a path of a structure with a lot of energy, with a lot of young talent.
01:31 And a good mix with some veterans that could give Zulia back the competitive ability that he has lost in the last campaigns when he has not done well against the Western team.
01:44 For this, they looked for a new manager, Pat Listach, who is going to debut in the league.
01:50 He was a rookie of the year in 1992 in the big leagues with the Emil Wocky brothers.
01:54 A former shortstop, he beat the rookie of the year in that campaign, Kenny Lofton, who played in Venezuela with the Navigantes del Magallanes.
02:03 Listach did not have a very long career and then made a technical transition.
02:08 And the Caribbean League, the demanding and competitive of the Venezuelan league, is going to be a good test for him.
02:14 Since he has no experience in the league, he debuts as a manager in our championships.
02:22 He has been surrounded by well-known people in the league, like Gustavo Molina, who is going to be his right hand, a very smart ex-catcher.
02:33 He was the right hand of the managers of teams that were champions in different tournaments.
02:43 When he was the manager of the Guaira, things did not work well.
02:47 There is no doubt, I have no doubt that Gustavo Molina is a very good piece to have in the gear of a technical team.
02:55 In addition, there will be David Rosario, a connoisseur of the pitching in the league, he is also a very good baseball player.
03:04 Russell Vasquez, whom I have great respect for, a mind in the game, a great baseball player.
03:11 And pieces that end up structuring a good technical department, like Guillermo Larreal.
03:21 Hector Jimenez, who now makes his debut in this role as a coach and has leadership and of course knows the league very well.
03:32 So in this new cycle, it seems that there is a good structuring of the coaching staff of the Zuliano team.
03:41 Let's look at the different departments in pitching.
03:46 The important aspect of pitching is that they have a number one pitcher, Mario Sánchez.
03:53 Let's see how he can repeat what happened last year when he was so dominant.
04:02 He had that very typical particularity among the pitchers who act with Zulia, to pitch in a very dominant way in Maracaibo.
04:11 Not so dominant on the road, in any case, the overall balance was very positive for Mario Sánchez.
04:17 And today he is a legitimate ace of rotation in the Venezuelan league.
04:22 There is José Flores, who last year gave many innings.
04:26 There is the left-back, veteran Elvis Araujo, who can be an opener, can be a relegation.
04:30 There is Silvino Bracho, who putting himself on the same page as the Western set, is one of the best closers in the league.
04:38 And there are names of players who have already traveled on the circuit, such as Carlos Quevedo, Francisco Carrillo, Alejandro Chassin, Ismael Guillón, Eudice Hidrogo.
04:49 There is also an arm that was very important in the Zuliano scheme last year, Jefferson Medina and Alvin Herrera.
04:56 That body of pitchers is complemented by several imported pitchers, in what is assigned to the importation of the Zuliano team, as we have detected in general in the league.
05:12 Let's go once with the imported, since we are talking about it.
05:15 There is the Dominican pitcher Ángel Rondón, the also Dominican pitcher Carlos Espinal.
05:21 Javier Herrera, the Colombian pitcher, who threw the Guaira Sharks last year.
05:26 And another Dominican pitcher, Jorge Tavares.
05:29 So far, this is the structure of the importation, basically with Dominican and Colombian pitchers.
05:36 And Nico Holczeser, who last year showed that he can bat in the league, as the only batter in the importation.
05:43 He is an upfielder who reinforces this sector and gives strength to the offensive.
05:49 As for the receivers, Héctor Sánchez is a veteran of the league, he can also play in the first base.
05:54 José Godoy has recent experience in the major leagues.
05:57 José Briseño has been the catcher of the Zuliano team and provides power.
06:02 Joel Pozo is quite young and can also be in the mix.
06:07 Among the infielders, the face of the franchise today is Ali Castillo.
06:11 If, like Silvino Bracho, they are on the same page, Ali Castillo will be the badge, the spark.
06:17 The best average batter in the league in recent years.
06:21 And really a machine to beat Ali Castillo.
06:25 José Salas, who has been a bit weak in minor leagues for a season.
06:29 It will be important for the LBBVP showcase to relaunch his career.
06:34 He was a prospect for the Marlins, they gave him a good bonus.
06:37 Then he moved to Minnesota in the change that involved Pablo López and Luis Arraez.
06:42 Salas is the brother of Ethan Salas, the great prospect with a very high bonus signed by the San Diego parents.
06:49 For the infield, there is also Luis Castro, Deiner López, known in the league.
06:54 Andrés Chaparro, and here begin the prospects with whom the Zuliano team can count.
07:00 Of the Yankees of New York, of power, 30 horns and with great potential.
07:08 Osley Bisbassabe, an infielder who already played in the league, who showed how prepared he is.
07:14 Once the Rays of Tampa Bay called him when the situation with Wander Franco occurred.
07:19 And that growth of the stage with the Rays of Tampa Bay can be shown and be a decisive player in the Osley Bisbassabe league.
07:29 And there is also a boy named Eduardo Torrealba.
07:32 For the Jardines, there is an excellent mixture of youth and veteranism.
07:37 A very good league player like Ángel Reyes, year after year he puts excellent numbers.
07:46 A veteran like Alex Romero, who in the final part of last season showed that he still has fuel in the tank.
07:56 And he will have the highlight of the 1000 hits because he only needs 16 to reach that figure.
08:03 And he will join the select group of batters who have achieved at least 1000 hits, 1000 or more in the LBBP.
08:11 And he will help Alex Romero because he still has the bat for it.
08:15 And here a couple of rookies, more than a couple, there are several.
08:22 Because there is Jonathan Perlaza of the 5 tools, we already saw him a little but with a great projection.
08:29 He can run, Simon Musioti who has already played in the big leagues with the Phillies of Philadelphia.
08:36 Wilber Abreu who debuted in the big leagues with the Boston Reds.
08:41 He has power, he taught it with Boston.
08:44 And there is still the young Kennedy Corona and with possibilities to continue evolving.
08:52 And the gardens, along with the imported Hall Scissor, look really strong for the Zulian team.
08:59 There is the promise of playing, the possibility of seeing Freddy Galvis again in the LBBP.
09:04 The last time Zulia won the championship was by Freddy Galvis in an outstanding season.
09:11 He was the standard and the figure of this team to get the title.
09:15 And Rognet Odor would also be with the possibility of uniforming with the Western team.
09:22 Everything indicates that the bad years can be left behind and that the Eagles of Zulia become a competitive team again.
09:31 The trivia in between lines, we raise it and present it to all of you.
09:37 Recently, the candidates for the Hank Aaron Award were announced.
09:44 Who recognizes the best hitter in the league?
09:47 Who has been the biggest winner?
09:51 Who has won the biggest number of awards Hank Aaron?
09:56 Will it be Barry Bones? Will it be Albert Pujols? Will it be Mike Trout? Or will it be Alex Rodriguez?
10:02 The answer is coming up.
10:06 [Applause]
10:14 Back with all of you, friends.
10:16 And friends, we continue with our edition of today's trivia.
10:19 We enter the press room.
10:22 The first news has to do with the Mets of New York.
10:26 Francisco Lindor, the star of the Boricua shortstop of the Mets, underwent surgery on Tuesday to remove a bone spondylosis of his right elbow.
10:39 Lindor is estimated to need a couple of months to recover, so he would be ready for next spring for the 2024 spring training.
10:52 The bone spondylosis was painful, especially to throw and shoot in his defensive position.
11:04 But to hit, he didn't limit it too much, as he registered his highest OPS since 2019.
11:14 Regarding the Rangers of Texas, who are already registered in the American League championship series.
11:22 In fact, it is known that it will start on Sunday, visiting the Houston Astros.
11:27 Mike Scherzer launched another simulated game.
11:30 He expects to return to the Rangers' thrower body for the American League championship series,
11:38 after a record recovery from a dislocation in his right shoulder.
11:43 They were from 8 to 10 weeks, and apparently he will be ready to reappear as soon as Sunday or be available on Sunday.
11:55 It is not known if as a thrower or as a relay player.
11:59 In any case, having Mad Max again is already important for Texas, which could also recover John Gray.
12:07 Gabriel Moreno was removed from the duel number 3 on Wednesday against the Doyers of Los Angeles
12:15 for a right hand concussion for the Venezuelan catcher who has already dispatched a few honrons in this postseason.
12:24 Moreno was replaced by an emerging hitter, then also Venezuelan José Herrera entered.
12:30 He ended up receiving the game that gives him the pass to the championship series to the Divaks of Arizona.
12:37 Moreno, surely hit in his right hand, will undergo the rigor exams to rule out any serious injury.
12:50 Hopefully it did not happen, to see him also a great defensive catcher,
12:55 and that he has hit very well for the Arizona team.
13:00 From the Chicago Median, the new general manager Chris Getz is committed to improving the team for 2024.
13:06 As Bruce Levine reports for 6.70 The Score, the team has identified the veterans Salvador Perez and Whit Merrifield
13:14 as two possible offseason goals, and the board has discussed the possibility of signing Perez and hiring Merrifield.
13:21 Getz and manager Pedro Grifol are familiar with both players, as they worked with them in the organization of the Cancer City Royals.
13:32 We will see Salvador Perez leave the Royals, he is delighted there, loves that organization, and the organization, his fans love the Venezuelan catcher.
13:43 The management must be done, if that is what interests Medias Blancas, but it is difficult to see Salvador Perez in a different uniform from the Cancer City Royals.
13:54 Today in history, 1963, a day like today, October 12, MLB hosts the only Hispanic-American star game in history.
14:08 The list of Latin stars included future members of the Hall of Fame, Luis Aparicio, Orlando Cepeda, Roberto Clemente, Tony Oliva and Juan Marichal,
14:18 and other outstanding players like Felipe Alou. A single from the emerging Manny Mota helped the stars of the National League win 5-2 in the American League at the Polo Grounds.
14:32 1967, a day like today, Lou Brock, from the Cardinals of San Luis, steals his seventh base during the World Series against Boston.
14:41 In this way, he set a record for more steals in a World Series. The game was won by San Luis 7-2 at Fenway Park and the game was won 4-3.
14:52 Brock would equal his own record in the World Series the following year, totaling 14, also a record number, equaled with Eddie Collins.
15:02 1982, a day like today, October 12, Paul Molitor, from the Milwaukee Beers, sets a world record for connecting 5 hits in the same game. He achieves it against the Cardinals of San Luis.
