Aguilas risk losing playing in the series in the home park

[laurapasinifan]

Someone can correct me if the information is not correct but I believe that the regular season is 50 games. That would mean that the teams have about 9 more games to play.

4 of the 6 teams with the best season record then play a round robin series. They will play the same number of games against each of the other 3 teams in the round robin. I'm not sure but I think it is 18 games.

The top two teams will then play a best of 7 (or it might be 9) series to see who is the champ.

Normally only the champ goes to the Caribbean Series with the DR, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Mexico sending their champ. However this year Puerto Rico will not send a team and the DR will send the top 2 teams to the Caribbean Series which will be held in Santiago.

If Santiago doesn't make the round robin or doesn't finish 1st or 2nd in the round robin they will not play the Caribbean Series in Santiago.

Aquilas is in third place. The first four get in. They will be there for sure.

Man, I'm really worried this year. They are just not playing Aguilas' style baseball. Let's see if Lima and others can pull it off in the end. They will be in for the semi-finals for sure, but Licey has been kicking their axx all year. Let's hope this changes...

i think the absence of some of their MLB stars is the reason they been getting beat like Tina Turner (r.i.p Ike Turner)

[Tallman1818]

Licey Campeon!!!!

[laurapasinifan]
