🇮🇪 Lennon Robertson loaded the bases and the 🇩🇴 #RepúblicaDominicana lineup made him pay—an RBI single to Mendoza, a two-run double to Jiménez (🦈 #ColmillosAGU), and a two-run single to García (✝️ #SantosADJ) and the score is now:
🇩🇴 8
🇮🇪 1
We're currently playing through the Quarterfinals.
🇩🇴 Guillermo García, currently of the ✝️ #SantosADJ, has the honor of scoring the first run in a #COPMUN1906 playoff game.
Current scores:
☪️ SUL 0 - 🇵🇷 PUR 0
🇩🇴 DOM 3 - 🇮🇪 IRL 1
🏴 ENG 4 - 🔱 NEP 0
🇲🇽 MEX 2 - 🇨🇺 CUB 1
If we're honest, this is just about the only way the ✝️ #SantosADJ (the only team who have yet to miss a postseason in the 30-season history of the LNP, winning the division outright in all but the 1875 season) were going to make it to the torneo.
That division is a *mess.*
A slide showing the eight teams in question. The Fieles de Lares are leading Betances' Cordillera Oeste, they're seed #9, and they're 61-62, a .496 percentage. Following them: #10 Cañeros de Vega Baja, leading Costa Norteña at 60-61, also .496. #11 Arzobispos de Aguada, leading Noroeste at 59-61, which is .492. #12 Caciques de Orocovis, leading Central at 59-63, which is .484. #13 Guardacostas de Cataño, leading the Metropolitana at a pitiful 58-65, which is .472. In Hostos, we've got: #11 Tortugas de Culebra, leading the Archipiélago at 61-63, which is .492. #12 Cornúpetas de Cayey, leading the Valle Costero at 58-63, which is .479. #13 Santos de Adjuntas, leading the Cordillera Oeste with a truly horrible 57-65, which is .467.
1904/08/27:
Currently, eight teams would make the playoffs with losing records.
Eight teams.
A full quarter of the postseason field.
