After more than one year, Wang finally won a game since his injury in base-running. Although his strike counts is only average compared to his best days, but his GO/AO is a strong indicator that his sinker is back. Perhaps thanks to the luck brought by JJ Wang as in old Taiwanese saying. I think this win not only relieved his pressure to prove himself to Cashman and Girardi, but the stress of his teammates trying to help him out. Way to go, Wanger!
Another good new is that Tigers called up RHP Ni Fu-Te today, marking the first Taiwanese player to join MLB from CPBL (first player was Melvin Mora of Orioles). This is noticeable especially in the bad times of CPBL that struggles to attract audience and the national team lost all major international games in the last few years. I'm not a supporter for CPBL, but for Taiwan baseball players. If the team owners still think the professional baseball in Taiwan is a favor from them and everyone should thank them and never criticize them, the players have no choice but to prove that they can compete in MLB level and forget about CPBL.
