I find this news article title to be pretty funny.

墨西哥力壓波國開胡?

I know Liberty Times is pro-independence. I just didn’t know it’s also for Puerto Rican independence.

Venezuela just defeated Team USA 5 to 3. Venezuelan staring pitcher Mario Sanchez pitched this last season for Taiwan’s Uni Lions, and pitched 6 innings giving up 2 runs.

Looked at the highlights, not many people in attendence. Fell sorry for Daiso the sponsor, no chance to boost business in Mexico. Was thinking to go a Taipei match, though prices seem high for a low attention game (non Taipei match)

How much for a ticket?

For games at the dome, you can get a nosebleed seat for a non-Team-Taiwan game for as low as 280. If you want a reasonably decent seat, it’s 1580 or above. You can go to a game a Tianmu, but the lowest ticket is 500.

Lots of tickets available for Taiwan vs DR tomorrow.

The game time feed has no commentary. Which is Ok, but I have no idea who most of the Taiwan team all of the Korea team are.

Where is Gil Kungkuan?

Now the sound is on.

Grand slam, 2 Run HR. 6-0.

The players are saying “vamo vamo.”

I think they’re trying to say “vamos.”

They probably heard it from Dominican players who don’t say the “s.” :joy:

That Korean HR call was a travesty.

If it went over the fence, it’s physically impossible to ricochet back like it did. Horrible call.

I only say that word like Phoebe, “van moose”.

If it bounced off the top of the wall, then hit the railing behind the wall before bouncing back, then fine, it’s a home run. However, the railing was no where close to where the ball landed, and it bounced on the inside edge of the wall, and bounced back into the field. I have no idea why the call was made. Even the Korean announcers couldn’t believe it.

Dominican hitter tendencies:

  • they come in swinging. Don’t set up first.
  • Their bat speed is MUCH higher than that of Taiwanese hitters.
  • Their arms are longer so they can hit the outside corner. We will go inside on them, or throw it outside the plate.
  • They lay off low pitches but swing at high ones.
