Albert Pujols criticizes South Korea’s strategy before the crucial World Baseball Classic game
Miami. The helmsman of the Dominican Republic National Team, Albert Pujols, has expressed his discontent with the South Korean National Team for not disclosing their offensive lineup with enough advance notice, prior to the quarterfinal matchup of the World Baseball Classic that will take place this Friday in Miami. In his meeting with the media, the Dominican leader expressed his incomprehension at the practice of the Koreans, and sometimes also the Japanese, of keeping their batting order secret until the last moment. In response to this situation, Pujols confirmed that he will also not reveal the Dominican Republic’s lineup.Pujols did say that Agustin Ramirez will be the starting catcher for this important game, while Austin Wells, who has played in that position in previous games, will rest. The Dominican team will face the experienced left-handed pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu, with an outstanding career in Major League Baseball. The game is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM. This match corresponds to the quarter-final phase, where each game is direct elimination: the winning team will advance to the semi-finals, while the losing team will be out of the tournament. Dominican Republic reaches this stage after dominating Group D with a perfect 4-0 record, thanks to an offense that has been one of the most outstanding in the tournament. The winner of the match between Dominicans and South Koreans will face the winner of the duel between the United States and Canada in the semifinals, also scheduled for the quarter-final round.I don’t know what the mystery is. We are waiting for Korea to send us their lineup, but if they don’t give it, I won’t publish mine either.
