2014 Wei-Yin Chen Today

[sfosfan]

As others have said, I'll take it. But even so, Chen threw what, 86 pitches? With a four run lead, Chen could have gone another inning. This is one of those moments where it will make more sense later on when looking back I guess. A Good enough outing against the A's is nothing to feel bad about, so I won't.

They couldn't risk him going back out there with the heart of Oakland's lineup coming up. It's one thing if Chen had good stuff, and Oakland was just battling and fighting off and laying off tough pitches up to that point in the game to get to Chen. Maybe you send him back out there. But Chen did not have good stuff, and was just serving up belt high fastballs to Oakland, and that was before he reached the pitch count point where he usually falls apart. You're going to send him back out there to groove more pitches, against the heart of their order, when he's now at the point where he collapses?

I actually think this was one of Buck's finer in-game decisions this year. Rather than leave his starter in too long, he was proactive.

W, 10-3

That's good enough for me last night. He's a guy who keeps us in the game on the nights when he's "horrible.". He's held the other team to 3 runs or less in 14 of 19 starts and has thrown less than five innings only once. No, he didn't "deserve" a win, but he did enough to get one on a day when we were hitting.

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!

I expect big things from Chen tonight pitching at SafeCo against the second worst offense in the AL.

That was spectacular. Three more days like that, please. Seattle's offense is not impressive.

[LookitsPuck]

Nice call.

He really stepped up tonight. What a job in the first on that play at the plate...and not to mention that jumping stab to snowcone later in the game.
