Havana, April 30 (JIT).- Juan Reynaldo Pérez Pardo, national baseball commissioner, transparently addressed several hot topics related to the 63rd national series, which this Tuesday will begin its ninth particular subseries.
In the match between Matanzas and the local Pinar del Río, referee Ricardo Campanioni was sanctioned for two games due to his mistake on Tuesday. He rejoined on Saturday and due to amplification he was reported with another name, something unprecedented in the Cuban series.
He was unable to appear in two games and he did appear on Saturday and Sunday, as appears in the box scores and the official score sheet of the two games, Pérez Pardo explained to the press in the traditional exchange with the National Baseball Commission.
The manager commented that the press and local amplification at the Capitán San Luis stadium were given a false name without yet knowing its origin, but it was never given by a baseball official (game commissioner or referees).
This is under investigation under a commission created to get to the bottom of the issue and find out who carried out this action, which detracts from our baseball, he explained.
Pérez Pardo asserted that among several of the measures related to the issue of arbitration, they work daily to strengthen the groups and greater security is requested in the stadiums by the provinces.
The manager also highlighted that starting Friday of next week, referee conferences will be designed virtually in each province, with current topics from the series.
Six players and one manager were expelled and suspended for one game after what happened this Sunday in the match between Camagüey and the host Cienfuegos.
He clarified the national commissioner that greater disciplinary measures may come for these cases when the analysis is concluded.
The Elephants players who will not be able to dress this Tuesday will be Richel López, Félix Rodríguez, Luis Vicente Mateo, Luis Serpa, Dany Oramas, Samuel Calderón and director Jorge Rodríguez.
Yosvani Alarcón (LTU) and José Ignacio Bermúdez (MAY), chosen as players of the week, were awarded by the glory of softball, Esteban Groero.
