Began a Campaign more than the Mexican Baseball Leagueand as we mentioned a few weeks ago, it would be a season with much controversy and here I leave you a personal opinion about what has happened so far, highlighting some points and emphasizing others that are not entirely good, however, this is just beginning.
The good…
The start of the Red Devils of Mexico has been fabulous, even as, until the day I write these lines (April 19), they have combined two sweeps in favor in their first matches, giving a total of 6 wins without defeat and, with this, they equal their best mark for a start of the season since 2010 with 6-0, applying the broom to the current LMB champions, Pericos de Puebla as visitors, and to the staunch rival, Tigres de Quintana Roo at home, showing great power and timely hitting in key moments , in addition to good pitching in general
The Scarlets are one of the most complete teams in summer ball, so it is not strange to see them at the top of the South Zone and the entire competition, but there is one point to consider… see if this year they will break through, finally, their championship drought.
The bad…
There are several aspects that have greatly tainted the start of the campaign, firstly, the case of Al Albuquerque, pitcher for Olmecas de Tabasco, did not want to remove his earrings to start the game on the mound, a situation that is marked in the regulations, being such his desire not to take them off and argue with the umpires that he chose not to throw and leave his team at a disadvantage, a painful and very controversial situation for the Chocos pitcher.
On the other hand, the first fights between teams have already occurred, starting with the one starring Diablos Rojos and Pericos, followed by Leones de Yucatán and Bravos de León, where the sanctions by the league were already announced, but that should not be tolerated and, above all, when the activities of a long season are just beginning.
The Ugly…
Finally, we must be critical and point out the lack of fans in several places, perhaps the ones that worry the most, being Chihuahua and Campeche, two cities that host teams with different presents but that seek to cement a good performance, as well as other scenarios that have looked unpopulated in a large part of its stands.
Dorados de Chihuahua returned to the LMB, and in their inaugural game at home, they did not even reach half the capacity of their venue, while Piratas de Campeche have made a strong investment and have a very complete roster, but which, unfortunately, It seems that the fans continue to punish them after previous competitions, where the level of the squad was not up to par with the competition.
In short, many good things, some bad and some somewhat rough at the start of the 2024 Season of the Mexican Baseball League, hoping that everything will improve for the good of baseball in our country.
