You know, I have a very good friend that is from Taiwan, obviously he speaks
Chinese and reads the newspaper. He told me that the GM from Lamigo said that I
bring the wrong baseball culture to Taiwan. I'm going to respond to that to the
people who want to know baseball and the hidden rules in it. I doubt the GM
played baseball so he probably has no clue. He and those who claim this forgets
that the game of baseball was invented in the USA! A situation in yesterday's
game almost caught a disturbance with the players. They bunted what a seven run
lead late in the game and that pissed off several of the Rhino players. They
claim that out manager called for our pitcher to hit #11. We're more
professional than that to "order" a pitcher to throw at a hitter but the
players took the situation into their own hands because we manage and coach the
game the right way! Then for their manager run out on the field and start
screaming at OUR player was as about as unprofessional and weak as you can get!
They've done things like steal a base with a six run lead in the late innings a
couple of times to I guess try to run up the score and embarrass the players.
You just don't do that. It's called baseball integrity and that's not playing
with protecting the game and proper sportsmanship! You will NEVER see our
players do that because we respect the dam game! To all of you young players,
coaches and all who strive to make the CPBL one of the respected leagues in
professional baseball around the world, teach the kids about playing right! For
however long I'll be in Taiwan coaching baseball, I will help command that our
players play the game hard and with respect to the game!
