A few hours before the celebration of Christmas, only two teams have mathematically and directly qualified for the round-robin tournament, which will be held in the month of January, in the stadiums of the qualified teams to that stage of the 2022-2023 LVBP tournament, Leones del Caracas, were the first to take the first step and write down their name among the 5 quotas available, followed by Cardenales de Lara, and yesterday the Tiburones de La Guaira almost managed to emulate the Crepusculares, but the Navegantes spoiled the party, to ensure a tie for fourth place, is something that would give them the pass, since by the rules of the championship, at the time of a tie, priority will be given to the team that has qualified in fewer games, unfortunately for the Guaristas fans they could not do it.

Those who have already said goodbye to the tournament definitively are the Águilas del Zulia, they could not fulfill the task of recovering the lost ground, and the dream of a new title has disappeared, Caribes continues to stumble, and if some results are given, On the other hand, Magallanes and Bravos are giving us a tremendous show, and could spend Christmas Eve tied in the so longed for 4th place in the standings.

Let's remember that a fifth place at this point would not give anyone the direct classification to the Round Robin, the Tigres de Aragua after an uncertain start, celebrate with fervor that sixth place, since it would be in their own hands to be able to access the play-offs, if they finish in the sixth place, they would have to win two games out of two possible, while the occupant of the fifth place will be able to pass directly to the play-offs, with only one game to win, that is to say, they can afford to lose one game and win the other, but in short series anything can happen, and more in this one that will be of a maximum of two games, the truth is that this mini series will be very exciting.

Parece cuestión de días para que Tiburones se convierta en el tercer clasificado a las postemporada, aunque ya sabemos que prácticamente lo están, solo que no se ha hecho de manera oficial, también es cierto que los escualos estarán en los tres primeros puestos de la clasificación, mientras que los Bravos tienen todo en sus manos para lograr el cuarto puesto, no porque sean mejores que los Navegantes, lo digo porque les restan más juego que a los de la nave turca, seguramente Luis Dorante lograra ir a esa segunda etapa del torneo.

Luego que se develen o se haga una realidad la clasificación de los 5 equipos al mini torneo, llamado todos contra todos, se harán las escogencias del Draft de adiciones y sustituciones, que por lo general se hacen vía on line, ya que por la fecha es muy difícil hacerlo de forma presencial, desde ya se habla de los equipos clasificados o en vía de hacerlo y de las necesidades de dichos conjuntos, del Caracas se habla que si terminan adueñándose del primer lugar, buscarían picheo, pero con la eliminación del Zulia pudieran cambiar los planes, ya que el mismo Salvador Pérez ha dicho que estará disponible para reforzar.

De Cardenales de Lara se dice lo mismo, que deben reforzar picheo, pero también es cierto que los dirigidos por Carlos Mendoza tienen problemas en la posición número 2, como lo es la receptoría, cosa diferente pasa con los melenudos, que tienen al grande liga Fermín, que además de ser un excelente receptor defensivo, y vive una temporada a la ofensiva inolvidable, seguramente será campeón bate, novato del año y candidato al más valioso, las Águilas van a aportar bastante material, sobre todo en el picheo que tanta falta hace para ganar en los juegos pequeños, si Acuña cumple con su promesa de volver y jugar en enero, no cabe duda que los Tiburones buscarían picheo, tanto abridor y de cierre.

It seems a matter of days for Tiburones to become the third team to qualify for the postseason, although we already know that they practically are, it just hasn't been made official, it is also true that Los Escualos will be in the top three of the standings, while Los Bravos have everything in their hands to achieve the fourth place, not because they are better than Los Navegantes, I say this because they have more games left than Los Navegantes, surely Luis Dorante will make it to the second stage of the tournament.

After the classification of the 5 teams to the mini tournament, called all against all, is revealed or becomes a reality, the draft picks of additions and substitutions will be made, which are usually done online, since by the date it is very difficult to do it in person, There is already talk of the qualified teams or those in the process of doing so and the needs of these teams, Caracas is said that if they end up taking over the first place, they would look for a pitcher, but with the elimination of Zulia the plans could change, since Salvador Perez himself has said that he will be available to reinforce.

The same thing is said about Cardenales de Lara, that they need to reinforce their pitching, but it is also true that Carlos Mendoza's team has problems at the number 2 position, such as catcher, something different happens with the Melenudos, who have the big leaguer Fermin, who besides being an excellent defensive catcher, and is having an unforgettable offensive season, He will surely be batting champion, rookie of the year and candidate for the most valuable, the Águilas will provide enough material, especially in the pitching that is so lacking to win in the small games, if Acuña fulfills his promise to return and play in January, there is no doubt that the Tiburones would be looking for pitching, both as starter and closer.

Para algunos peloteros sus números individuales se han elevado de manera exponencial, caso de Alex Romero del Zulia, que quedara muy cerca de los mil imparables, algo que seguramente lograra en la próxima campaña, otro que está terminando a todo vapor es Jose Martínez, mejor conocido como el Cafecito, batea sobre 400 puntos y en lo que va de mes de diciembre, tiene average de 500 puntos exactos, y es candidato a más valioso por los Tigres, nos queda después de hoy, una semana de actividades, para luego darle paso al todos contra todos y con grandes emociones.
