El protagonista del documental El Hijo Pr&#243;digo, hecho para que ni el Diablo le pueda impedir entrar a Cooperstown en el pr&#243;ximo round, no solo es un gran cabildero, como Tony Oliva, en contra del embargo; sino alguien que se cri&#243; en un barrio donde casi todo el mundo &#8220;camina pa&#8217;l chapea&#8217;o&#8221; afro-religiosamente hablando.<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, al terreno de juego: &#191;Por qu&#233; eliminaron al Boston? Al modo m&#237;o de ver las cosas, porque se convirti&#243; en un gran team solo para la grader&#237;a; porque perdieron 6 consecutivos abriendo la temporada y con dos de esos ganados hubieran asegurado el d&#237;a anterior sin sobresalto.<\/p>\n<p>Rachas perdedoras como la de los Medias Rojas ratifican que, en el juego, cualquier mes cuenta, as&#237; que aquello de &#8220;abril y mayo no existen para septiembre&#8221; es tan descabellado como creer que un pitcher puede ser un gran lanzador solo con el dedo anular.<\/p>\n<p>Pero este club no pudo jugar al final de acuerdo a lo abultado de su billetera y la guerra con los Yanquis consume hasta el &#250;ltimo alpiste de su pasi&#243;n. Parece que las novenas del Boston las hacen para ganarle a los Mulos: aunque se lleven el bander&#237;n de la Americana, si no le ganan a los inquilinos del Bronx, la victoria no tiene sabor, muy parecido a aquellos equipos de Fidel Castro de los 70&#8217;s y los 80&#8217;s que estaban obligados a ganarle a los americanos en igual forma que el campeonato, si perd&#237;an con los yanquis, no hab&#237;a vacaciones en Varadero, aunque le hubieran anotado 100 al resto en cada juego. Y jugar as&#237; genera tal presi&#243;n que, a veces, la caldera explota.<\/p>\n<p>Adri&#225;n Gonz&#225;lez, que tuvo una gran campa&#241;a, no pudo mantener su paso durante los juegos finales de acuerdo a como bate&#243; durante todo el a&#241;o y el casi slump se present&#243; en el momento menos oportuno.<\/p>\n<p>David Ortiz reverdeci&#243; laureles y, como los &#8220;muertos vivientes&#8221; de la noche conocida, sali&#243; de su tumba con etiqueta renovada y entreg&#243; una de sus mejores temporadas, porque hubo momentos en que solo &#233;l sac&#243; la cara ofensivamente desde el 6to-7mo turno al bate; despu&#233;s, en el clutch, continu&#243; produciendo igual.<\/p>\n<p>La derrota ante los Orioles elimin&#243; al Boston, pero perdieron el pase a los playoff, tal vez, como resultado de un c&#250;mulo de problemas interiores que se dar&#225;n a conocer en cualquier momento; por ahora, el rumor es que Theo Epstein pudiera irse a los Cubs de Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, por lo menos en el juego que cerr&#243; la campa&#241;a, los de Maryland jugaron como aquel club de los 4 ases del pitcheo que ten&#237;a, adem&#225;s, a Frank Robinson, a Brooks y a Boog Powell como inspiraci&#243;n.<\/p>\n<p>&#191;Cu&#225;ntos bateadores del Boston tuvieron una verdadera temporada de leyenda? Al modo m&#237;o de ver las cosas, solo Jacoby Ellsbury, que compareci&#243; al home-plate 660 veces y conect&#243; 212 hits; no conforme, 46 fueron dobles, 5 triples y 32 jonrones. Anot&#243; 119 y empuj&#243; a 105 con promedio de .321, si alguien quisiera m&#225;s, su promedio de embasamiento fue de .376, su slugging de .552 y .928 en total. Hay que recordar que, ante el decepcionante desempe&#241;o del refuerzo Carl Cawford, Ellsbury se hizo cargo del primer bate y logr&#243; robar 39 bases.<\/p>\n<p>Si los cegatos de la Asociaci&#243;n de Cronistas del Beisbol no compran espejuelos para poder leer mejor los n&#250;meros del centerfielder, deber&#237;an desahuciarlos del oculista y enviarlos al siquiatra.<br \/>\nPero hay que reconocer que, al crearse la inestabilidad en la parte alta del line-up por la baja producci&#243;n de Crawford, de quien esperaban 45 &#243; m&#225;s bases robadas, promedio sobre trescientos y el aceptable bateo con poder que lo identifica m&#225;s sus excelentes n&#250;meros hist&#243;ricos de embasamiento y anotadas, pues esa novena perdi&#243; parte de su poder en el papel.<\/p>\n<p>Despu&#233;s de Jacoby, Pedroia, Adri&#225;n y Ortiz, m&#225;s Scutaro con un aceptable .299, fueron los &#250;nicos que hicieron algo digno de destacarse en la ofensiva del club.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Wakefield fue una figura de museo todo el a&#241;o, dio la impresi&#243;n que lo ten&#237;an en el staff como vitrina para mostrar al tipo que tira knucleball cuando su lugar debi&#243; ser en la Instruccional como maestro de novatos.<\/p>\n<p>Claro que existen otros aspectos, la parte del pitcheo abridor ajeno a Wakefield, las lesiones&#8230;por, hoy, lo que dije, sobra.<\/p>\n<p><strong>English Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It gives that they have been moored &#8220;leg and hand&#8221; by Bob Gibson in the 1967 world series; that they have squandered the winning effect by demoralizante of the &#8220;Run Wizard&#8221; of Carlton Fisks in 1975; that Bill Buckner has &#8220;cracking it to a ca&#241;a brava&#8221; an easy rolling in the final game of the 1986 World Series; or that a club that gives pity as alignment of major league baseball has been removed them every option of preseason this year: the Boston Red Sox went to their homes &#8220;with the tail between the legs&#8221; and the question perhaps returned the curse?<br \/>\nPerhaps a time is &#8220;the curse of Manny Ramirez,&#8221; tired of pushing that &#8220;needed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In the Democratic stronghold, territory Kennedy, by friendship with some of its politicians with Fidel Castro, should have on its agenda on the next trip to Havana rent a good babalao, brujero which advises on &#8220;damage and esoteric things related to Africa&#8221;, by 40 or 50,000 dollars; ultimately, the so-called &#8220;IFA priests&#8221; are cuenta-propistas (and does not count), the Ministry of culture of the regime (and the MININT also)&#8230; perhaps Luis Tiant could help them in that, who knows? The protagonist of the film the prodigal son, made so that even the devil can prevent him entering Cooperstown in the next round, is not only a great lobbyist, as Tony Oliva, against the embargo; but someone who grew up in a neighborhood where almost everyone &#8220;walks pa &#8216;l chapea&#8217; or&#8221; afro-religiously speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Well, to the pitch: why eliminated the Boston? The way mine see things, because it became a great team only for the stand; because they lost their 6 consecutive opening season and two of those WINS they had assured the previous day without startle.<\/p>\n<p>As the Red Sox losing gusts ratify, in the game, any month there, so what&#8217;s &#8220;April and may not exist for September&#8221; is so unreasonable to believe that a pitcher can be a great pitcher with only the ring finger.<\/p>\n<p>But this club could not play at the end according to bulging of your wallet and the war with the Yankees consumes up to last birdseed of his passion. It seems that the novenas of the Boston make them to win against the mules: Although taking the pennant of the American, if not earn you to the tenants in the Bronx, the victory has no taste, very similar to those teams of Fidel Castro in the 70&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s that were required to beat the Americans in the same way as the Championship, if they lost to the Yankees, there was no vacation in Varadero, although he had scored 100 to rest in each game. And thus play generates such pressure that, sometimes, the boiler explodes.<\/p>\n<p>Adri&#225;n Gonz&#225;lez, who had a major campaign, could not maintain his step during the final games according to as batted throughout the year and the almost slump was presented at the least opportune moment.<\/p>\n<p>David Ortiz reverdeci&#243; laurels, and the &#8220;living dead&#8221; known overnight, he left his grave with renewed label and delivered one of his best seasons, because there were times that only he pulled the face offensively from the 6th-7th turn at bat; then, in the clutch, it continued to produce equal.<\/p>\n<p>The defeat against the Orioles eliminated the Boston, but lost the playoff pass, perhaps as a result of a host of internal problems that will be released at any time; for now, the rumor is that Theo Epstein would go to the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n<p>However, at least in the game which closed the campaign, those of Maryland played as the club of the 4 Aces of the pitching that was, moreover, Frank Robinson, Brooks and Boog Powell as inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>How many batters Boston had a true season of legend? The way mine see things, only Jacoby Ellsbury, who appeared to home-plate 660 times and hit 212 hits; does not comply, 46 were doubles, 5 triples, and 32 home runs. He scored 119 and pushed to 105 with average of. 321, if someone wanted more, his average of embasamiento was of. 376, his slugging percentage of.552 and.928 altogether. We must remember that, before the disappointing performance of reinforcement Carl Cawford, Ellsbury became the first bat and succeeded in stealing 39 bases.<\/p>\n<p>If the cegatos of the Baseball Writers Association do not buy espejuelos to better read the centerfielder numbers, they should evict eye doctors and send them to the psychiatrist.<br \/>\nBut we must recognize that, to create instability in the upper part of the line-up for the low production of Crawford, who hoped to 45 or more bases stolen, average about 300 and the acceptable batting with power that identifies more excellent historical numbers embasamiento and annotated, because that ninth lost some of its power in the role.<\/p>\n<p>After Jacoby, Pedroia, Adri&#225;n and Ortiz, more Scutaro with an acceptable. 299, were the only ones who did something worthy of note in the offensive of the club.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Wakefield was a figure of the museum throughout the year, gave the impression that they had on staff as a showcase to show the guy who pulls knuckleball when your site must be in the Instructional as master of novices.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there are other aspects, the starting pitching outside of Wakefield, injuries &#8230; for today, I said, plenty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lo mismo da que hayan sido amarrados &#8220;pata y mano&#8221; por Bob Gibson en la Serie Mundial de 1967; que hayan desperdiciado el efecto ganador por demoralizante del &#8220;jonr&#243;n brujo&#8221; de Carlton Fisks en 1975; que a Bill Buckner lo haya &#8220;rajado como a una ca&#241;a brava&#8221; un rolling f&#225;cil en el ultimo juego de [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":805,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[8695,4399,16335,16342,16343,16337,16333,16341,16334,16338,13920,16235,1922,4259,16336,16340,16339,16345,16344,16289],"class_list":["post-17441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-bill-buckner","tag-bob-gibson","tag-boston-al","tag-brujo","tag-camina","tag-de-un-tiempo-a-esta-parte","tag-entre-las-piernas","tag-feudo","tag-fidel-castro","tag-fisks","tag-grandes-ligas","tag-lares","tag-luis-tiant","tag-medias-rojas-de-boston","tag-minint","tag-opci","tag-r-233","tag-rabo","tag-sacerdotes","tag-tony-oliva"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/805"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17441\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seamheads.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
