Notes: Tsao having a blast
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com


LOS ANGELES -- In earning the save in the Colorado Rockies' 4-1 victory over Lo
s Angeles on Wednesday night, Chin-hui Tsao had a blast -- for what it's worth.

"Last night, I was ready," Tsao said before Thursday's finale of a four-game se
ries against the Dodgers. "I couldn't wait. I want to save the team."

But maybe Tsao's enjoyment shouldn't go a long way when the Rockies decide what
 to do with their closer job next season. Fresh history is too strong a force.
The last time the Rockies moved another young pitcher to closer to take advanta
ge of his arm and curb injury risk, the result was Shawn Chacon's struggles thr
oughout this season.

So manager Clint Hurdle isn't being hasty. Hurdle, general manager Dan O'Dowd a
nd ownership will decide how to fill the job this offseason. Hurdle said the Ro
ckies might look for a more experienced closer, although the lack of space for
such a pitcher in the budget this year led to the Chacon experiment. As for Tsa
o, 23, Hurdle was talking a look, just in case.

"We've just talked about getting him some on-field experience right now, and se
e where that takes us, see if anything develops from it," Hurdle said. "We just
 went thorough one stretch where we asked a guy that's never done it before.

"In a perfect world, you'd like to find somebody with experience, that's done i
t before."

Tsao was closer for two games while representing Taiwan in this summer's Olympi
cs, but that's not exactly what Hurdle was talking about in terms of an experie
nced closer. If the Rockies sign a proven closer, it'll be a first.

Starting with expansion draftee Darren Holmes, their early closers were relieve
rs with limited closing experience. The last two closers, Jose Jimenez (2000-03
) and Chacon, were converted starters. So Tsao, a top starting pitching prospec
t who had elbow surgery in 2001 and battled shoulder problems this year, fits w
ith how Colorado has filled the post in the past.

Of course, there's a difference between filling a role and actually being a clo
ser. Tsao, the first Major League pitcher from Taiwan, pitched like one on Thur
sday. Emboldened by a three-run lead, he set aside his nasty but difficult-to-c
ommand slider and stayed aggressive in the strike zone with his fastball and ch
angeup. But whether that continues is anyone's guess.

But now that Tsao, whose native language is Mandarin Chinese, is improving his
grasp of English, the relaxed, playful intensity that many closers carry is eme
rging. Freed of the crush of media from his homeland that accompanied his every
 move during a big-league trial last season, Tsao is smiling and joking.

He'll teach a few native words, tell some humorous stories, even do some martia
l arts-style slap boxing with Bo McLaughlin, his pitching coach from Double-A T
ulsa last year who is finishing the year with the Rockies.

"He's got the temperament and he's got the stuff," McLaughlin said when asked i
f Tsao could succeed as closer. "Now, it's just a matter of putting everything
together after waiting around to come into a game. But we'll see what he's got,
 see how it goes."

Tsao said, "I'm having fun. Last year was my first year, so everything was new
for me. I'm having more fun because I understand more."

大概是說本來落磯有打算讓他去當CL，他自己也迫不及待躍躍欲試
: But maybe Tsao's enjoyment shouldn't go a long way when the Rockies decide what

但是因為有Chacon失敗的例子在前面，所以落磯對於推年輕人做CL感到卻步
: So manager Clint Hurdle isn't being hasty. Hurdle, general manager Dan O'Dowd a

這邊是說他們會在季後看看要不要找個有經驗點的投手做CL，不過美鈔有限，曹仍然會是
備案之一
: "We've just talked about getting him some on-field experience right now, and se
: e where that takes us, see if anything develops from it," Hurdle said. "We just
:  went thorough one stretch where we asked a guy that's never done it before.
: "In a perfect world, you'd like to find somebody with experience, that's done i
: t before."
這是落磯老大Hurdle在講話，說他們在給曹一點新的嘗試，當RP這件事情曹以前沒幹過
他們也在觀察曹做的怎樣
: Tsao was closer for two games while representing Taiwan in this summer's Olympi
: cs, but that's not exactly what Hurdle was talking about in terms of an experie
: nced closer. If the Rockies sign a proven closer, it'll be a first.
提到曹在奧運當過兩場後援，不過這跟落磯的政策無關
: Starting with expansion draftee Darren Holmes, their early closers were relieve
: rs with limited closing experience. The last two closers, Jose Jimenez (2000-03
: ) and Chacon, were converted starters. So Tsao, a top starting pitching prospec
: t who had elbow surgery in 2001 and battled shoulder problems this year, fits w
: ith how Colorado has filled the post in the past.
有提到他的傷病史，有提到之前落磯的兩個CL都跟曹一樣是先發轉職
: Of course, there's a difference between filling a role and actually being a clo
: ser. Tsao, the first Major League pitcher from Taiwan, pitched like one on Thur
: sday. Emboldened by a three-run lead, he set aside his nasty but difficult-to-c
: ommand slider and stayed aggressive in the strike zone with his fastball and ch
: angeup. But whether that continues is anyone's guess.
講一下他之前的表現，被幹全壘打也講，投的很好也講
: But now that Tsao, whose native language is Mandarin Chinese, is improving his
: grasp of English, the relaxed, playful intensity that many closers carry is eme
: rging. Freed of the crush of media from his homeland that accompanied his every
:  move during a big-league trial last season, Tsao is smiling and joking.
: He'll teach a few native words, tell some humorous stories, even do some martia
: l arts-style slap boxing with Bo McLaughlin, his pitching coach from Double-A T
: ulsa last year who is finishing the year with the Rockies.
講到場外生活，說他適應的不錯，英文有進步，也滿開朗的，順帶提一些日常趣事
: "He's got the temperament and he's got the stuff," McLaughlin said when asked i
: f Tsao could succeed as closer. "Now, it's just a matter of putting everything
: together after waiting around to come into a game. But we'll see what he's got,
:  see how it goes."
2A的教練說他有很好的stuff只要調整好就能勝任CL之類的，典型美國官腔
: Tsao said, "I'm having fun. Last year was my first year, so everything was new
: for me. I'm having more fun because I understand more."
曹說好棒喔，很興奮，很期待
