MEXICO CITY, Mexico.- The current National Baseball Series continues to give something to talk about, between the errors of the referees, the fights with fans and the crisis in the country, from which the players, who suffer from fuel shortages, do not escape and severe blackouts.
Several events marked this Tuesday’s day, which had a negative impact on the development of the 63rd National Series. Both were due to the lack of fuel in the country, which prevented, in the first place, the game between Isla de la Juventud and Villa Clara from taking place.
According to what was reported by the independent media Swing Completothe teams could not meet due to transportation problems, leaving a score of 0-0 for this matchday.
Another fact also attracted attention on social networks. The Matanzas team, which faced the Santiago de Cuba team this Tuesday, spent long days of blackout that prevented the athletes from resting.
The Crocodiles were hosted at the Hotel Costa Morena, in Santiago, where there was no power between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm the day before the tournament and they did not have electricity between 2:00 am and 7:00 am on the day itself. of the party, due to a “fault”.
The Crocodiles and the Wasps must play the scheduled subseries this week in the capital of Santiago. In the first game, held this Tuesday, Matanzas fell to Santiago with a score of 8 to 1.
The current National Baseball Series has also left seven referees expelled and a total of 48 athletes and directors expelled.
The information was revealed in a press conference of the Cuban Baseball Federation, where they proposed carrying out “strong internal work from the Federation, with continuous analysis to achieve the best possible work from the referees.”
The poor work of the referees has caused, according to sports analyst Carlos Hernández Luján, the anger of the fans, who have carried out acts of violence against the refereeing. “Let’s hope this ends here before an unfortunate event happens in the National Series,” said the journalist in the “Bola viva” space.
The Pinar del Río team, for example, faced the expulsion of one of its receivers, Yasiel Ajete, who had protested a strike to referee Misael Cala.
On another occasion, a out at third base that turned out to be the opposite and that was captured on social networks. At the Capitán San Luis stadium, the fans complained and outside the venue they shouted at the referees.
A worse situation occurred at the Victoria de Girón stadium in Matanzas when, after a game between Matanzas and Guantánamo, the referees and fans got into a fight.
This refereeing crisis adds to an unflattering outlook in this Series. A total of 105 athletes have medical problems, 85 have injuries with an average of one injury every 3.3 games.
