PrintDodgers at Chinese Professional Baseball League All-Stars
10:07pm, Tien Mou Stadium, Taipei, Taiwan
Who's up for some late night baseball? Game two of the Taiwan Series starts at 10:07pm Pacific time (2:07 local time in Taipei). Josh Towers starts for the Dodgers, and Chien-Fu Yang starts for the CPBL All-Stars.
The start of the game might be a bit delayed, as rain has delayed the start of warmups, per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN L.A.
Joe Torre held a managerial forum in Taipei earlier today. Ken Gurnick of MLB.com has the details:
He opened his presentation with what he called simple, basic principles of managing people.
"I try to deal with players the way I wanted to be managed as a player," he said. "There's no magic formula. Manage with common sense. Don't ever forget what it was like as a player. They are all different people with one goal. You can treat them differently, but fairly."

Belisario says he hasn't missed any appointments
Ignacio Serrano, reporter for the El Nacional in Venezuela, reports on Belisario:
Ronald Belisario said he haven’t miss any appointment in Caracas American Embassy. The problem is the DUI thing he has in 2009
Ronald Belisario said he’ll have the final answer with this visa, hopefully, next monday
Interview with Ronald Belisario will be at ESPNdeportes.com site some time from now
Rain
I figured rain would be an issue with these games. They get a ton of rain over there. It is worse in the summer/monsoon months though. I would imagine certain times of the day are better than others.

From Ramona Shelburne:
We are officially in a rain delay out in Taiwan. They really want to get this game in so I’m guessing we’ll be here a long time…
So much for the game thread

assuming I have the city right
I am not liking this forecast:
http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/hourbyhour/graph/TWXX0021?#
Shoot- I browsed a Taiwanese at work for nothing. IT/security’s gonna love that! :/
I keep getting a message on the link to watch that says (thanks Google!) “Limited to the Taiwan area to watch this channel”
Ya, I was wondering why it wasn’t working. On mine you can’t hit play….

amazing what you can find
when you type in a completely random sequence of letters, without any prior knowledge as to what it actually is.
Ill be home around 1230 to keep the thread going

That was a sharp ball to try to stretch to home

Seriously
Bruce wasn’t even at 3B once Repko had the ball! But, what an arm. He had him by a good 20 feet.

Rain delay
In a rain delay so Kuo and Hu are meeting with a group of Little Leaguers. A rare chance to meet their baseball heroes
Baseball, soon
From Ramona Shelburne:
they have taken the tarp off the field here in Taipei, everyone is cautiously optimistic that we’ll get this game in pretty soon
D'oh! From Shelburne, and update:
Dang, I jinxed it. Tarp coming back on… Long day ahead

Belliard gave one a ride to CF last night in the 4th, but the CPBL CF tracked down the deep line drive on the warning track.
Hyang-Nam Choi has a unique delivery, in that he starts his pitching motion from the stretch with his left foot set well behind his right, one of the more exaggerated styles I’ve seen.
Thanks for the link Eric. I watched a lot of games this way last year. I would gladly pay for MLB.TV, but they black me out.

It’s a rain delay now, and the link is showing last night’s game. Hyang-Nam Choi was pitching

Ah, I see.
Interesting to see the iPhone ad in English text

Oh, Brian Barton is on deck. He is on the Dodgers current roster for MLB Show 10

I can definitely see how Choi racked up all the Ks in AAA
His ball is all over the place. Not that hes fooling anyone right now.
*sigh* this is not looking good
I’m staring at my computer screen, stuck somewhere between naive optimism and denial, like Bart Simpson in the “Kamp Krusty” episode. (“Krusty is coming, Krusty is coming…”)
"Dodger pitching is suspect"
Some doozies from Beto Duran
-’They’re bringing in the scrap heap to get their #5 starter: Ramon Ortiz, Russ Ortiz, etc.’ Somehow they forgot to mention J-Mac, Elbert or Stults.
‘James Loney was locked up’: WRONG (Unless he has inside information about Loney getting arrested in Taiwan)
-“Chad Billingsley is not (inaudible) anymore”: "inaudible was definitely a negative word. (reliable?) (Hiroki Kuroda apparently does not exist, as I don’t believe he was mentioned. Certainly not in any meaningful way)
-GA getting signed to a minor league deal is essentially a sign of desperation and financial despair
direct quotes from Duran:
“Everybody is getting better except for us”- mimicking Dodger fans’ thoughts about the season
“I don’t like their starting pitching”- his own thoughts
Classic. Where’s Jon Weisman when you need him?
the Taiwanese players waved to the crowd, and went inside
something was flashed about “3/14”, and that was that. The feed is now dead. hmmmmm I’m starting to think this game ain’t gonna happen.
g’night…
