Game 30:
The last time 🇹🇳 Anbar screwed up a game, you could at least excuse that he came in with a runner on third.
This time, it was the Tunisian on a Mission who let the 🕷️ #GuabalerosCOM triple him up, and what's left of 🇨🇷 Varela couldn't hold them there.

Is the postseason more your speed? Then enjoy this tightrope ballgame, where our 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG faced down the 🕷️ #GuabalerosCOM.
We haven't gotten to break this one out in a while, so you can't be mad: all we're telling you is 🇺🇸 Ted Balloon pitched a quality start.

Despite 🇵🇷 LHP Urbano Reyna's eight strikeouts, a classic 🇵🇷 Benji Valdez walk-and-steal and a 🏴 Graham Underwood RBI double set up a lead for La Brújula.
Can Ted and the bullpen hold on to it?

A green playoff slide, because it's the Serie Preliminar, for the Navegadores facing the Guabaleros de Comerío and their goofy orange "C" on turquoise. The lineup for tonight's game: lefty USian first baseman Rob Feaster; lefty USian second baseman Etaoin Shrdlu; Mexican right fielder Frank del Castillo; Cuban lefty designated hitter Pablo Salmerón, who wears #17, is normally a catcher, stands 163 centimeters tall (about 5'4") and weighs 90 kilograms (200 pounds), and who is slashing .357 / .455 / .750 in October; Puerto Rican left fielder Vidal Santiago; Puerto Rican lefty shortstop Benigno Valdez; Australian third baseman Wally Balk; English lefty center fielder Graham Underwood; Argentine catcher Spike Stonehand.
We're getting started a little later, because we want to make sure that today's 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG game, a real corker of a postseason game against the 🕷️ #GuabalerosCOM, is as good as advertised.

A slide for January 3rd's game, in which the sapphire-and-gold Navegadores host the Guabaleros de Comerío and their goofy-ass blocky orange "C" on a turquoise circle bordered in orange and red. The lineup, including Mexican corner outfielder Frank del Castillo—26 years old, 1.77 meters tall, 90 kilograms heavy, and currently leading Liga Betances in runs scored (70, six ahead of the next guy) and batted in (63, tied with Lajas' Gerardo Sánchez)—goes like so: Mexican right fielder Frank del Castillo; American lefty second baseman Etaoin Shrdlu; Puerto Rican left fielder Vidal Santiago; Australian third baseman Wally Balk; American lefty first baseman Rob Feaster; Puerto Rican lefty shortstop Benigno Valdez; Scottish designated hitter Declan Milne; English lefty centerfielder Graham Underwood; Argentine catcher Spike Stonehand.
1/3 (that's tonight!):
Our first stream of 2025. The 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG, who are finally starting to look like their old selves after a stretch of punishing baseball, face the suddenly-resurgent 🕸️ #GuabalerosCOM in their orange uniforms.
the fun begins @ 7:05 PM EDT at:

🇮🇪 CF Turlough Ureña
(25, 80 OVR, R/R)
We're fairly confident in saying the #GuabalerosCOM 🕷️ have the first Cubano-Irish player in LNP history. (Dirty Jack Doyle doesn't count.)
Ureña's five-tool potential threatens to make the division much more competitive for the also-aggressive #PalomasCID 🕊️.
Lanzador Nobilísimo, Betances:
LHP Urbano Reyna, #GuabalerosCOM 🕷️
Not bad for a #43 prospect! Reyna pitched a 29-8 season, and every win fully deserved: he slashed 1.68 ERA / 1.70 FIP / 0.86 WHIP, with 213 Ks. Rough to fall apart in the postseason.
