[情報] 大鬍子杜拉克的新網誌(Lamigo Lamigo)

[JEFF0602 (JEFF0602)]

2 weeks in Taiwan so far and I’m finally getting settled in.

I have recently moved into my apartment which is located about 15 minutes

from the field. Prior to moving in I was staying at a gorgeous hotel

called the Kuva Chateau. I’m living in a three bedroom apartment with another

player, David Welch. He's a left-handed pitcher from Australia and had played

with the Brewers prior to coming out here.

My last start didn’t go as planned. I pitched against the Elephants, who

seem to be the Yankees of Taiwan in the sense of their fan base. Their fans

come out in large masses and root on their team. I threw 6 innings, giving up

4 runs and took the loss. I had 2 outs in the 4th inning and somehow gave up

3 runs after that. Just needed to make some better pitches.

This week we are having to play our make up games. When games are rained out

or delayed over here, they have to be played on the same day of the week as

the original game was scheduled as well as in the same stadium. Usually there

is a two week break in between the first and second halves.

Today we had a spring training type practice. It consisted of the normal

conditioning, fundamentals, base running, bunt defense, and after lunch we

had batting practice. With the number of injuries we have currently, the

front office staff is allowing for the minor league players to come join our

team and play with us. Hopefully they will take advantage of their time, play

well, and learn from the others. Our minor league team has some young and

exciting players to be on the look out for.

Went to the mall yesterday. Just like any other mall in the world. The only

difference is the clothing sizes are very different. For men I don’t believe

I could find anything in my size. Even when I arrived and was asked my size

for shirts and uniforms, I said large or XL. I was then giving a 3XL shirt

which fit like a large. The styles I’ve noticed out here so far are very

loud (colorful) shoes and clothing. Young female adults like wearing knee

high socks that are the same color or completely different. The biggest trend

right now or around town are black “sunglasses/eyeglasses” without any

frame in them. So it just looks like a halloween professor costume piece.

Also had a chance to goto Taipei and checked out the Night Market and the

electronics market.

Here is a link of a Video from my night in Taipei http://www.twitvid.com/GTBWF

Now onto the fans questions…..

-currently we are on a 5 man rotation, but only play 3-4 games a week, so the

pitchers usually have 6-7 days in between starts.

-our teammates embrace american players very well. As much as we are trying

to learn new things and techniques, they want to learn from us too.

-hardest and most expensive part being here is getting cabs to and from the

field every single day.

-Scooters are everywhere here. I wish I had my 1999 yahama jog here with me.

I’m still seeing if I can find a place to rent a scooter or borrow someones

around town. anyone that can help I would really appreciate it.

-There are the normal Mcdonalds, subway, KFC (or KLC) or here

-We play at 10-12 different stadiums throughout Taiwan with only 4 teams in

the league. If we are the home team at an away stadium, our team brings all

of our sponsor banners from our outfield and hangs them at the field. The

team store also comes on the road.

-Fans come from all over to watch these games. It would be interesting to

know how far some travel to witness these games.

-The tv coverage is done extremely well over here. There are tons of camera

angles for any play.

-the routine is very similar to the US for pitchers and in between starts.

Its up to you when you want to throw your bullpen. Because theres so much

rest between starts, I try to get 2 in during the week.

-conditioning is very important over here and they stress it. Usually before

we even stretch we run for 15 minutes. Its extremely hot over here and the

extra conditioning will help in the long run.

-they stick with the starters for the most part. Not many pitching changes in

the game like winterball. They don’t seem to play the matchups all the time,

like I have noticed in the DR or Mexico.

-there is one US umpire over here and I have had him for both of my starts.

So far the strike zone has been fair and good. The field conditions are

usually good, but the mounds are low and usually get holes in the landing

spot after an inning or two.

Thanks as always for reading and sharing your comments and questions. I hope

I got to everyones questions. Go Lamigo!
