How to evaluate the Hunters of Artemis? Three ways come to mind. If we compare his performance with that of the previous season, we would agree in qualifying him as outstanding. If we contrast it with the rest of the teams, it will be easy to agree that it has been at the level of the vanguard squad.
Throughout the previous campaign they achieved 27 wins, while in the 62nd National Baseball Series they are already down to 33, with ten games remaining, plus the four postponed due to rain. So, they ended up in place 14, a short distance from the basement; they now stand near the top and have even occupied it.
The most demanding and their most fervent defenders are concerned about the balance of their journey outside the 26 de Julio stadium: in Pinar del Río, Holguín and Granma, they won five games and lost seven, while three were suspended due to rain .
However, they are just two games off the top of the standings. Because? Because others also win and lose. Exhaustion, the inevitable curve that describes sports performance and a certain equity between one team and the other, mean that their opponents do not get too unstuck.
And he talked about three ways to evaluate the boys of Yulieski González… because there is one more: compare them with themselves at the beginning of this own series. It is there where the sports performance curve warns that they will not be able to keep boards full of runs scored against their opponents, not with the same frequency.
That is why victories with closed markers, the hermeticity of the defense, timely hitting with runners in circulation, control of the pitchers, precision when deciding when to relieve a pitcher and the use of the bench take on a special value.
Tasks like those of Geonel Gutiérrez are more necessary, who struck out 18 rivals, allowed only three runs (only one clean run), worked for a 0.49 earned run average per game, with a WHIP of 1.10 (walks plus hits, divided between innings pitched), and won two games.
It’s great to have work like that of Elián Moreno, who in ten innings and two-thirds wrecked three, gave up four bases and got three clean for a 2.65 PCL and 1.18 WHIP.
And, of course, the stalwarts of the Cazadores have Dayán García, José Antonio Jiménez, Yoan Moreno, Andy Cosme, Carlos de la Tejera and the others to seal the season with the dream of the Artemisa come true.
