大胡子有新网志了，我贴一下快速的我流粗略翻译。 Last night prior to my start in Tainan against the Lions (sorry had the Elephants before made the correction now), I’m about to warm up on the field and noticed something is wrong with one of my cleats. I look down and see that my metal spikes are about to come off. For those of you who don’t know many Asian type cleats are interchangeable and have screws and metal plates with the cleats on them. My cleat was missing two screws and the metal frame was dangling. I guess I didn’t realize after each start you should tighten up the screws because they can come loose. This all happened 20 minutes before the game. I scrambled around the locker room looking for someone who one had the special tool to unscrew them or some extra screws. Luckily, our equipment manager Ashton found the tool. Unfortunately, that was all that he found. I had to now remove the middle cleat plate from both shoes to be worn evenly. This was extremely awkward at first when I started to jog and get loose, but I guess it could have been worse. 开赛前发现一边钉鞋的板子松了，原来掉了两根螺丝。到处找螺丝起子和螺丝， 找到螺丝起子但没螺丝，只好把两脚的板子都拆下来，感觉很奇怪。 The game wasn’t one of my better games. We lost 4-3 and I threw 5.1 innings. I left the game tied at 2. The most amazing part of the game was the rain delay. As typhoon type rain came down in the top of the 8th inning, the field crew runs on the field and covers the mound and home plate. I then noticed them putting 10 x 10 foot tarps over each base individually. I turn to Steve Hammond and ask where is the big tarp to cover everything. He replies you are looking at them. I only wish I was able to get video or pictures of the amount of rain that came down and was sitting on the field. I honestly would have bet $100 that there was no chance we could play especially after an hour of non stop rain and with the baselines, second base, short stop, and third base completely exposed. After the rain stopped about 30 kids ran onto the field with sponges and soaked up the field. I laughed a bit seeing these guys with small sponges trying to work, because there was so much water. I have to give it to them though, they worked very hard and somehow we got the rest of the game in. 投得不是很好，4-3输球，投5.1局，下场时2比2平手。比赛最扯的地方是八局的 大雨。我看见工作人员拿3X3公尺的帆布把每个垒包盖起来。我问悍猛：「盖住整 场的大帆布咧？」悍猛回答：「你看到的就是了。」 那时候我真的很希望我能把大雨拍下来。我会赌$100美金在连续下了一个小时的大 雨後不可能复赛。 大雨过後，工作人员拿海绵开始吸水。我看到他们拿小海绵觉得有点好笑，因为水 实在太多了，不过他们很努力，我们最後也有完成比赛。 Notes from the week 本周心得。 - Reminder you can not hit a batter who has hit a homerun in that game. If you do you are ejected. That happen to one of our guys last week. Worst part was it was on a bad slider in which he lost control of it. But rules are rules I guess. 要记得全垒打後不能投触身球。上礼拜有人因为这麽做……就被驱逐出场了。 糟糕的是，那只是一个失投的滑球，但我想规则就是规则。 - If you hit a batter in the head you are ejected. This happened last night with our pitcher. I believe the hitter is doing fine and sustained no serious injuries. 头部触身球也会被驱逐出场。昨晚队上有投手这个干了。我相信打者没事，没受 重伤。 - With all of these pitcher ejections, I don’t think you have to leave the dugout or get fined. 投手都被驱逐出场了，我想这样就不用离开休息室或被罚钱。 - The All-Star game is this weekend in Kaohsiung. The entire team is based on fan votes. There is some starter going with a 5.50 ERA and a losing record. But must be a fan favorite. 这周末是明星赛，在高雄举办。整队是投票出来的。某个先发投手ERA5.50而且 连败。球迷一定很喜欢他。 - A lot of friends have asked me about some of the equipment out here. The best place to get custom gloves, arm guards, and leg guards is http://www.taiwanbaseball.com.tw/ Ask for my friend Derick. They are extremely professional and the workmanship of the gloves is the best. You can pretty much customize any part of the glove. They ship worldwide. 很多人在问我装备的事情。http://www.taiwanbaseball.com.tw/ 提供最好的客制 化器材。 Thanks for reading and sharing my blog. Thank you to my USA followers and new Taiwanese followers. I hope that I am still keeping you entertained and ask that you please leave comments, questions, or suggestions. I love reading your feedback. 谢谢阅读。 我承认我是看到本周心得里的某一条才想翻的。 -- 史上最「乡」的出版社，『Orz文学网』 http://www.orzbooks.com.tw/shop/home.aspx?shop=523 隆重豋场。 烽火燃起，穿越千里的史诗奇幻旅程，就此开始。 《烽烟的封印》序曲《苏尔的旅人》 --
