It is necessary to mention that our batting contributed a discreet balance of three hits and the defense had a pair of errors, sufficient as to hope just foe the defeat.

The events made me remember something that I listened to a fan shortly before the beginning of the series: "this team only needs to believe it”. From then to the date I have been one of the so many people followers that patiently has waited for the Camagüey awakening.

But with the same steadfastness ours have been kept stumbling, a day due to the defense, another because of the offensive, or the pitching... And it, while other selections -practically all- alternate defeats and victories in clear evidence of which this championship does not have invincible rivals.

The Bulls seem to be unrolled under a particular dynamics, and with independence of the adversary, their outcomes as a rule always tend to the negative balance of the scoreboard.

To say it turns out to be easy, and more having to hand the balance of victories and defeats, and the statistics that till now have signed the directed team by Esteban Lombillo.

First of all the pitching. Even with disasters as that of yesterday, in the last subseries our pitchers can be considered to be relatively lucky: two weeks ago the body was mediating in general for 4.48 and now it registers 4.22, a progress that has allowed them to lower from the 13th to the 11th position. Similar transit have had the relievers, that file 4.24.

The problem is not in the numbers but in the real effectiveness of the men who every day climb the hill of the sighs. Out of the 16 pitchers that in this campaign have dressed the three-colored flannel, nine have on their records almost 90 % of the innings thrown (226 of 256), all the victories and rescue, and the exclusivity as for defeats, except for one scored to the account of Yosimar Cousin. In other words, little less than half of the staff has been almost without use and some of these men do not come even to three exits to the field.

With the batting something similar happens. Excepting the figures practically "sowed" (Héctor Hernández, Alexander Ayala, Osmel Águila and Marino Luis), the mobility has not been an accolate sign when shaping alignments. This way, most of the athletes from the category sub-23 only have visited the batting drawer under protection of the difficult responsibility of emergent, and that although in the last games -and deducting the batsmen of this group who file only one shift- their offensive production overcomes in ten units to the average of the team (.280 for .270).

The stop in the championship, from next Monday because of the Central American Games and of the Caribbean to be celebrated in Veracruz, will serve to bear in mind these and other details that distinguish the work of our representatives in the current campaign. After what happens in the Capitán San Luis stadium there will be almost no margin to rectify... but at least it is possible to hope to cover with better face the way that is missing.

Otherwise, it is necessary to wait many bad moments as that of today; farewells in that our rivals leave with the victory and us, at most, with some statistics for the books.
