Mexican Pacific League Semifinals Heat Up with High-Stakes Games

In Memory, Marina Juarez Duarte (1975-2024)

MEXICO CITY.- Thursday of the semifinals in the Mexican Pacific League with protagonists who have seen too much in direct win-or-die duels, Tomateros de Culiacán against Venados de Mazatlán and Naranjeros de Hermosillo against Águilas de Mexicali.

The so-called “Sinaloense classic” will have its 13th version with the cherries advantage 9-4, but the reds ahead 2-1 in rounds of the run-up to the final series, through the more than 50 years of playoffs.

The Naranjeros beat the “feathered” team 7-3 overall and 3-1 in the semifinals, who arrive motivated after knocking down the leaders in victories and points of the regular calendar, Algodoneros de Guasave.

Of the four strategists involved, only Roberto Vizcarra has been champion and even three times, including in 2016-2017 with the “Caballeros Águilas”. He reiterated in 2018-2019 and in 2021-2022 at the helm of the Charros de Jalisco.

His antagonist, Juan Castro, and the newcomers Alfredo Amézaga and Luis Carlos Rivera who will face each other in the other combination, aspire to their first pennant.

As in 2019, in 2024 Julio Urías will not face serious charges for domestic violence, but it is unlikely that the story of then will be repeated, when after a 20-game suspension, he was reinstated in the Major Leagues.

At least that’s what those who know the Major Baseball League policy established not long ago believe, which has sent luminaries who misbehaved with their life partners or occasional trances to limbo, such as those that sank former Cy Young, Trevor Buaer.

It won’t be long until the outcome of the second slip of the left-hander who is already out of one of the 30 organizations, the Los Angeles Dodgers. In California they will not back down after erasing it from their logistics.

ON this day in 1983: The New York Yankees name Billy Martin their manager for the third time in eight years, replacing Clyde King, who is promoted to the club’s front office.

Martin will lead the team to a 91-71 record this season, far from the division champion Baltimore Orioles (98-64). He won’t be back for 1984.

**“I’m not going to cry, or speak badly, much less say ‘I would have’. I will say thank you Algodoneros (Guasave), thank you baseball. And I will continue dreaming of seeing my champion team.”- Miguel Lavagnino Castro.

IN streaks.- The infielder and outfielder, Jared Serna (.310, 7, 30), was named Rookie of the Year and with that the Charros de Jalisco are 2-2 in the deliveries to the highlights of the current cycle. .. Last week, Benjamín Gil received the Manager of the Year trophy… Sonoran Edwin Fierro has two perfect reliefs (2 Ip, 2k) in the Round Robin of the Venezuelan League for the Leones de Caracas… Another reliever Mexican, Alberto Leyva, had not registered activity in the Lidom with the Leones de Esído.
