Welcome to another edition of Béisbol en La Mañana, con Diego y Miguel on WCSN Radio brought to you by Robos, the official shoe of the Western Cuban National Baseball Team
"And we clinched it! Our streak of making the play-offs every classic we were in is still there! Now we just got to win tonight or Melatia beats Equestrian States. Then we clinch our group".
"While I'm excited we won yesterday, I think the actual game that matters is tonight against Branta Island. We win that game, were in a good situation by winning the group. In a way, second place is a failure".
"I could agree with that, I wouldn't be happy if we did not win the group. But hey, at least we already clinched a spot".
"A spot into the play-in round, I don't want to be knocked out in the play-in round. While the chances are low of us doing so, it would be just sad. Look were the #1 team in the world. I don't think we should be playing in the play-in round. Were a top seed in this classic, we better win tonight against Branta Island. If we don't, were not going to win against better teams".
"Very true, while we did beat #20 ranked Camwood twice in this Classic, everyone else in the group also beat them. Like come on, we lost to the Equestrian States who are ranked #45th in the world, and then I don't even want to talk about Melatia".
"Speaking, of Melatia. There still in the running of getting a spot in the play-in round".
"Yeah, I heard they had to beat the Equestrian States by six runs. It seems extremely unlikely, but in the world of sports anything is possible".
"After I finish up the Branta Island-Western Cuba game I'm switching over to that one. It would be so awesome to see the States lose to Melatia. It would be even better if they lost to them by six".
"I don't like neither. The States seem to screw us over in every sport, especially soccer. While we lost to Melatia on the first match-day. And that was totally crazy".
"Well at least Ramon Rivero is ok also, seems like pitchers for us are having a bad track in health lately. Against the States it was Torres leaving with a groin injury, while Rivero left due to dehydration."
I'm still confused about that, Rivero has all the water that the world practically can offer in that stadium. How does he leave due to dehydration."
"Well he seemed pretty sick when he started the game, his face was a little paler than usual. Not to mention he was sweating quite a bit yesterday. The trainers told me they had to give him a few iv's before he left the game".
"I'm just glad he is ok, because Julian Santos didn't do much in the seventh to help the team out. Allowing three runs that inning".
"I don't know what has been wrong with the relievers the last few days. They really need to step up there game, were not going to win a classic if they pitch badly".
"Western Cuba needs to focus on tonight's game against Branta Island. It's a huge game for us, this will be the game that makes or breaks this classic for Western Cuba. Starting off in the play-in rounds would just be unacceptable."
"Couldn't agree more, and look at the time. Were done for today, but we'll see everyone at the game tonight. It's at home! If you didn't manage to get tickets, just turn on your tv and watch the game from home. Or perhaps tailgate with a friend, I heard they were having a massive tailgate party outside the stadium. Maybe you'll want to head out there".
