Cada qui\u00c3\u00a9n determinar\u00c3\u00a1 su presencia a trav\u00c3\u00a9s de su contribuci\u00c3\u00b3n a la victoria del equipo.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0En la historia de la humanidad, los premios y reconocimientos siempre han contenido altas concentraciones de subjetividad propias de las visiones particulares de cualquier ser humano. Por eso una de las maneras de medio neutralizar esa realidad es establecer las condiciones del premio lo m\u00c3\u00a1s cercanas posible a la esencia del juego.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0Con todo mi respeto a los expertos de la sabermetr\u00c3\u00ada y a las nuevas estad\u00c3\u00adsticas, que son muy importantes porque permiten evaluar m\u00c3\u00a1s a profundidad cada detalle del juego, si el an\u00c3\u00a1lisis de las mismas se hace tratando de ver a cada pelotero como un individuo abstra\u00c3\u00addo de su equipo y esto se establece como criterio b\u00c3\u00a1sico en las votaciones de los premios llegar\u00c3\u00a1 el momento cuando emerger\u00c3\u00a1 la pregunta \u00c2\u00bfeso es b\u00c3\u00a9isbol?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0Los expertos del juego alegan que Felix Hern\u00c3\u00a1ndez mereci\u00c3\u00b3 ganar el Cy Young de 2010 porque \u00e2\u20ac\u0153un pitcher no tiene control de lo que pasa despu\u00c3\u00a9s que suelta la pelota\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. \u00c2\u00bfEs que acaso ese pitcher no recibe de vuelta la esfera blanca de costuras coloradas y debe decidir como neutralizar al pr\u00c3\u00b3ximo bateador? Si bien el pitcher no tiene control sobre todo lo que pasa en el juego, si lo tiene en el germen de cada jugada. Partiendo de all\u00c3\u00ad es que seguramente habr\u00c3\u00a1n determinado en alg\u00c3\u00ban momento que el juego depende alrededor de 70% del pitcheo.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0Todas esas nuevas estad\u00c3\u00adsticas resultan in\u00c3\u00batiles para la esencia del b\u00c3\u00a9isbol si dejan de ser entendidas bajo la \u00c3\u00b3ptica del trabajo del pitcher en funci\u00c3\u00b3n del equipo, y el objetivo de cualquier equipo deportivo es ganar, incluido el b\u00c3\u00a9isbol. Un equipo puede tener un cuerpo de lanzadores dominantes pero si estos no traducen ese dominio en victorias, hay algo pendiente por mejorar.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0Por esa raz\u00c3\u00b3n entiendo que hasta hace poco la filosof\u00c3\u00ada del premio Cy Young valoraba m\u00c3\u00a1s, ni siquiera a las victorias per se, sino a como el resto de las estad\u00c3\u00adsticas desembocaban en un apreciable numero de triunfos del equipo. Por eso Nolan Ryan no fue Cy Young en 1987 cuando fue lider en efectividad y ponches, apenas gan\u00c3\u00b3\u00c2\u00a0 8 juegos. As\u00c3\u00ad se reconoce cuan influyente puede resultar el trabajo de un pitcher en las victorias de su equipo. Que lanzamientos elige ante cada bateador. Su comunicaci\u00c3\u00b3n con el receptor. Su presencia en el mont\u00c3\u00adculo. Su actitud cuando no tiene sus mejores lanzamientos. Su capacidad para ganar juegos sin suficiente respaldo ofensivo.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0Me parece que Felix Hern\u00c3\u00a1ndez gan\u00c3\u00b3 en buena lid el Cy Young, ciertamente fue el lanzador m\u00c3\u00a1s dominante en todo menos en victorias y\u00c2\u00a0 eso resulta parad\u00c3\u00b3jico. Su dominio fue tan marcado que por esta vez\u00c2\u00a0 est\u00c3\u00a1 justificado su reconocimiento porque al\u00c2\u00a0 menos su balance de victorias fue psoitivo. Un pitcher sabe que le falta algo cuando termina la temporada y ve que tuvo una gran efectividad, bastantes ponches, etc pero que ni siquiera lleg\u00c3\u00b3 a los 15 triunfos. Seguro que eso es importante. Es la esencia del juego y ni siquiera\u00c2\u00a0 esas nuevas tendencias de analizar las estad\u00c3\u00adsticas la pueden borrar.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0Por m\u00c3\u00a1s que se siga insistiendo que la manera de ver el juego cambi\u00c3\u00b3 y que el trabajo del pitcher dista de tener incidencia en el resultado del juego. Cada vez que cae un out 27,\u00c2\u00a0 hay un equipo que sale ganador y eso se debe en buena parte a las decisiones y actitudes del hombre que se encaram\u00c3\u00b3 en la monta\u00c3\u00b1a del medio para lanzar le pelota hacia el plato.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nAlfonso L. Tusa C.<\/p>\n<p>English translation<\/p>\n<p>This game of four bases in diamond, a mountain in his center\u00c2\u00a0 and surrounded by large gardens, where the team playing defense has the ball, by the way in the pitcher\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hands, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always undestood it as a team sport. In the mankind history, the awards and aknowlegements have always been filled with huge amounts of subjectivism which are natural of the particular visi\u00c3\u00b3n of each human being. One of the ways of neutralizing this fact is by setting the award conditions as closest as possible to the essence of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0With all my respect for the experts sabermetricians and the new stats, that are very important because allow a deeper \u00c2\u00a0analysis of the game, if this is done trying to see \u00c2\u00a0each player as an abstract individual from his team and this is set as a basic criteria at the ballots of the awards, it will come the moment when the question will emerge \u00c2\u00bfis it baseball for real?<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0The baseball experts say that Felix Hernandez deserved\u00c2\u00a0 the 2010 Cy Young Award because \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a pitcher doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have control on what happens in the game\u00c2\u00a0 after \u00c2\u00a0he throws the ball\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. But the pitcher gets the ball back and should decide what \u00c2\u00a0to do to neutralize the next batter. If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true that the pitcher can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t control everything \u00c2\u00a0that takes place in a ball game. He has a great responsibility in the origin of each play. Maybe this is the statetment on which was said that pitching is about 70 % of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0All those new stats become \u00c2\u00a0non sense stuff if\u00c2\u00a0 they stop being analyzed under the optics of the pitcher \u00c2\u00a0working for his team, and the objective of any sports team is winning, included \u00c2\u00a0baseball. A team can have a very dominant pitching staff but if the hurlers can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t translate that dominion into\u00c2\u00a0 wins, there is something \u00c2\u00a0due to improve.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Because of that, I understand that until few years before the philosophy of the Cy Young Award gave more value to not even the wins, but how the rest of the pitching stats \u00c2\u00a0contributed to the wins a pitcher got for his team. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why Nolan Ryan wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the Cy Young winner in 1987 when he led the American League in ERA and struckouts. He only could win 8 games.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the way how the work of a pitcher can influence on the winning of his team. What deliveries he chooses before each batter. His communication with the catcher. His presence on the mound. His attitude when he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have his best stuff. His capability of winning games no matter he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have enough support.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t doubt about the merits of Felix Hernandez winning the Cy Young Award. He really was the most dominant pitcher in the American League but the wins, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a paradox. His pitching was so sharp that for this time his aknowledgment is justified because at least his record had more wins than losses. A pitcher knows that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s something left whe it comes the end of the season and he had a great ERA, a lot of struckouts, etc. \u00c2\u00a0but he even didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get\u00c2\u00a0 15 wins. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sure that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important. \u00c2\u00a0It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the essence of the game and not \u00c2\u00a0even the new criteria of the game can erase it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0No matter many analysts of the game keep saying that the way of evaluating it changed and the work of the pitcher is away from\u00c2\u00a0 the game\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s result. Each time the out 27 is got, there is a winning team and that is due in part to the choices and attitudes of the man who stood on the mountain of the center to throw the ball to home plate.<\/p>\n<p>Alfonso L.
