🤖⚾ ¡OFICIAL! El árbitro robot llega a la Lidom en 2026. Adiós a las controversias arbitrales, bienvenida la tecnología Hawk-Eye. El béisbol dominicano da un salto histórico hacia la precisión absoluta. #Lidom #ÁrbitroRobot #BéisbolRD
🐂⚾ ¡REGRESAMOS! Tras 4 años en el sótano, los Toros vencen 8-7 a las Águilas en 10 entradas y van a la FINAL vs. Escogido. Un duelo que nunca antes se había visto. ¡Historia pura! #TorosDelEste #LIDOM #SerieFinal
Toros will face off in the #LIDOM Final (7-game series) against the defending Caribbean Series champion Escogido on Wednesday night. First-ever Finals match-up for these two teams.
Rough end to #SFGiants Jerar Encarnación's #LIDOM season: Jerar drove in two runs to help build a 4-2 Águilas lead, but playing LF, he buffaloed into the CF on a can-of-corn that plated two unearned runs for Toros to tie the game on his two-out error. Toros won 8-7 in 10 innings, eliminating Águilas
🚨 ¡Decisión histórica en Lidom! Anulan victoria de Águilas sobre Toros por exceso de importados en roster. ¿Se repetirá el partido? Todo se define este domingo ⚾ #BeisbolDominicano #Lidom
#SFGiants legend Julián Tavárez (1997-99), who arrived in the Matt Williams for Jeff Kent trade, was inducted into the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame in 2024, the Dominican Hall of Fame in 2021, and had his No. 50 retired by Águilas Cibaeñas this year as an 8-time #LIDOM champion.

#SerieDelCaribe
Unfortunately, Venezuela isn't sending its champion, so there'll be two Mexican teams (including the loser of the #LigaARCO championship series). This isn't unprecedented: a 2nd-place #LIDOM Licey won the 2008 Serie (Puerto Rico canceled season due to financial problems).

While the entire 2025-26 #LIDOM season is dedicated to Juan Marichal, Escogido is also his team (1957-73): 40-26, 1.90 ERA, 3x Champion.

📣 New Podcast! "Gustavo Núñez llega a 400 imparables en Lidom" on @Spreaker #a #en #gustavo #imparables #lidom #llega #nunez
Here's some of his story: After being released by Tampa at age 22, he pitched in every DR summer/spring league, as well as the Independent League of Canada, before Águilas Cibaeñas selected him this September in the #LIDOM "Rookie draft" at the age of 32. Next stop: #Orioles Spring Training.
He retired Jorge Mateo for the first out (a flyball off a changeup), which is a funny "old Oriole gotten out by new Oriole" until you remember Mateo is two years younger.
#LIDOM #Orioles
Jean Carlos Henriquez earned his first (?) pro save tonight for #LIDOM Águilas Cibaeñas at the tender age of 32. 97-98 sinker + 86-88 changeup. Long way to go but fun to imagine him stepping off #Orioles mound as closing credits roll on a heartwarming movie that sheds light on lost years (2015-24).
