Giving up only 1 run through six innings against a Japanese line up like that was impressive. The guys in the bullpen really need to step up. I know Keng was placed in the worst situation possible but his job is to put out fire when the SP is in trouble. I'm still very proud of our boys but I'm just so disappointed when it felt like we gave the game away. :(<BR/><BR/>Secondly... I REALLY hate to say this, but CFC deserves better than playing in the CPBL, it's pretty obvious by now that he can hit just about any pitchers in the world of baseball. It's too bad that he didn't really get a fair shot in the MLB. But at this point it's a wasted talent if he stays in the CPBL. It's like having him playing AA ball when we know that he's good enough to play in the show. Don't get me wrong, I love the CPBL but it's just not where he should be right now. He needs to be playing in a more competitive environment such as the NPB for the sake of furthering his potentials. The one thing that he needs to be careful of if he ever does at some point join an NPB team is to make it absolutely clear on the contract that these Japanese batting coaches cannot change his form, that has already messed up one Taiwanese hitting talent in the past. The man can swing the bat as is, don't try to fix what's not broken.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I sincerely hope that CL Hu and YC Chen (and hopefully more future talents) can get fair shots to establish themselves as solid positional players in the MLB in the near future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
