We are at another level, yes, in other instances, a level where things are played at such an intensity, that goes according to the moment, and we are talking about the 2023 season in the big leagues that with the start of the World Series, is in the last step to know the new champion, there we see the representative of the National League, The Arizona Diamondbacks, against all odds, and the Texas Rangers, for the American League, also not as favorites, but with their merits to be here, because they have a number of players with experience in different positions in the field, and that in the past but with other teams, they were already here. An unprecedented final to define this campaign, and no doubt whoever the winner is, will give us a new champion, a new ninth to those already accustomed to see, will win this title, Arizona does not win a contest of this type since the 2001 season and Texas, have never won one, giving that touch of freshness that the MLB needed and thus be a little more varied, for a public that every day is more interested in this sport.
EQUIPO AGUERRIDO | TOUGH TEAM
The Texas Rangers team is no longer a coincidence, and little by little they have carved their own path in an effective and convincing way that has led them to be a candidate to win this fall classic, maybe some will say that it is not so, but I refer to the evidence, in game number 1 of this series, they have come from behind and in a spectacular way, they have taken the game 6 runs by 5 in 11 vibrant innings, to leave Arizona on the field, taking advantage this time of their locality to take the lead in this series.
All of this has to be accompanied by a whole set of things, yes, all the elements necessary to achieve that great achievement, I say that it is a great achievement on the part of those from Texas, because statistically and according to several studies, the winners of the games odd in this type of series to the best of 7, that is, 1-3-5 and 7 if they reach that game, they are the ones who have the most probability of being crowned champions, and well, thanks to good pitching and the performances of Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia, the latter in a stellar plan and like a veteran in these instances without being one, were the ones who with their power and with home runs settled this commitment.
PRONTA RESPUESTA | QUICK RESPONSE
That prompt response by the Arizona team was accompanied by a forcefulness of a 9 to 1 in their favor in the final result of that game, which in turn helped the ''west'' of the National League to tie the series at 1, at the individual level for some players like the Dominican Ketel Marte and the Venezuelan Gabriel Moreno was good, by achieving historical records such as the most consecutive games batting for hits (18) in the case of Marte and on the part of Moreno, by becoming the youngest catcher to hit a home run in a World Series, which beyond those individual numbers that are visible to all, had a direct impact to the benefit of his team.

This game and the way the previous one was developing, for me it was strange, why? Those who see the final score (9-1) would say it was a beating, but for those who saw the game, we could see that it remained closed until the beginning of the 6th inning, it is something that maybe is very common during a regular season, but in this part of the championship and for the level of demand, it is not normal, because it was that the commitment was totally opened in this episode, showing some weak things of the Texas pitching and in their own park, leaving in evidence that the thing will not be as simple as expected.

UN PARTIDO IMPORTANTE | AN IMPORTANT GAME
Following the same line of the previous exposed in terms of the odd games, this 3rd game of this series, would be of vital importance, taking the best part of the Texas team, with a masterful work of his pitching staff, which 2 days ago would have received punishment of up to 9 runs, the Arlington would dominate throughout this game 3, 3 runs for 1, The performance of Jon Gray from the bullpen, after the departure due to injury of the stellar pitcher Max Sherzer who limited his performance to only 3 innings, strange or not, we saw how the arms of the blue team were adjusted in record time to achieve an important victory to take the lead in this series 2 games against 1.

But for this to be maintained in this way, the great defensive work has to be present in a game with this score, and is that excellent defensive throws by the aforementioned Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager now in their work with the glove, sealed this victory, which gives them a very important air, because if they lose the next 2 games in the worst case scenario, They would be 2-3 down, but they would have the guarantee that they would solve everything at home (Texas) but reviewing the numbers and how this team has done on the road, away from home, things would not be so easy now for Arizona, because they accumulate an important winning streak away from home.

DIRECTO AL CAMPEONATO / DIRECT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Between oddities, records and the importance for one to be 2-2 in the series (Arizona) and for the other (Texas) to get an important advantage 3-1, this 4th game was more than strange, 10 runs by the Rangers in the first 2 innings, evidencing their offensive power despite the injury of Adolis Garcia and the bad pitching of Arizona, The final score was 11-7 in favor of Texas, but in the reverse, which at the time was 10-0, showing us, believe it or not, that both teams are not doing well with their pitching staff, with Texas getting the better part, which with this result is closer to its first World Series title.

With the Series 3 to 1 in favor of Texas, everything would be easier for them and the pressure would fall in two ways on the locals (Arizona), one for being down 1-3 and on the other hand, to have the pressure of their fans wanting to go to Texas with some hope. Finally, Bruce Bochy's team finally won the World Series championship in a close game until the 7th inning, 5 runs to 0, supported by two things, one, a true teamwork orchestrated by their manager, and the other the combination of timely hitting and power that made the work of the pitchers despite the many runs allowed managed to dominate the Arizona, and I would add something else, the desire to win a championship, something that ezquibo not only since the 2011 season, but since they were founded in the 70s.

Finalmente esa inversión de más de 500 millones de dólares entre Corey Seager y Marcus Semien que yo tanto critique la temporada pasada, y que solo fue por estos dos jugadores, fue la que les terminó de dar el campeonato a los de Texas, fue justa y necesaria, por su calidad de peloteros, que en algún momento irían a dar sus frutos, no dejando de acotar de que ellos son, el campocorto y segunda base del equipo, base fundamental que debe de tener un conjunto de beisbol, como lo es la línea central del cuadro interior en el infield.
Finally that investment of more than 500 million dollars between Corey Seager and Marcus Semien that I criticized so much last season, which was only for two players, was the one that ended up giving the championship to Texas, it was fair and necessary, for their quality of players, which at some point would pay off, not forgetting that they are, the shortstop and second base of the team, fundamental base that must have a set of baseball, as is the centerline of the infield.
