Fantastic game for Chen!! I seriously doubt he can pitch any better than he did tonight.

Hey guys, I'm from Taiwan. And someone answered the questions correctly.

Just give you guys more information. There is no professional baseball league in China. And in Taiwan, our baseball league called CPBL which stands for Chinese Professional Baseball League. Why did we name it Chinese, not Taiwanese? I guess you have to know the history about the relationship between China and Taiwan, then it will be easier to understand. Chen was noticed by scouts when he was a high school student. In a semifinal game of High School Baseball Taiwan, he went 9IP, 0R, 22Ks, 137 pitch counts.(Still a unbreakable record in Taiwan.) Afterward, one of Nippon Professional Baseball called Chunichi Dragons singed a contract with him. He spent most his baseball career in Japan(2003-2011). Finally, he decided to play baseball in MLB. That's his dream since he was a kid!

Hot damn, I am digging that scouting report.

Bravo.

Thanks. It was yesterday though and Wei actually did all the pitching on the 24th given time zones before it became the 25th. First time in seventeen years that the O's are atop first on my b-day and it's awesome.

Fantastic outing from Chen. That curveball was working and when it is, he's nails.

Let's wait till he faces someone other then the M's.

I'm more impressed that he has 2 games in a row, going 8, IIRC.
