  1. The Japanese are getting good licks in, but it seems like they're still a tick off in picking up those pitches.
  2. Fukudome! Stop bailing out on those pitches.
  3. They still use the bullpen carts in some stadiums!
  4. His leg action is just incredible. He uses his lower body really, really well.
  5. The sheer number of dialects, unique languages, and minorities in China is absolutely mind-boggling. Darvish is just blowing these guys out of the water.
  6. This Japanese team looks surprisingly effeminate.
  7. That was an impressively pointless history lesson.
  8. There were rumors he was supposed to come over to the U.S. this past offseason, but it's unclear when he'll be posted...if ever. There were some whispers that he wanted to stay in Japan for the long haul, but I don't know if those were ever confirmed. If he comes over, he'll get paid a ton of money. Also, I really dig his slider and fastball.
  9. That extra-innings rule makes this like college football and OT. What the heck is the point?
  10. Also, I'm secretly excited for China as a baseball nation over the coming years. MLB has made some headway there and baseball has slowly been growing in popularity. There's a natural nearby rivalry with Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, to boot. I don't think China will become a baseball powerhouse any time soon, but getting a few Chinese names in MLB would be a boon to the sport. And wow, neither announcer wants to be there right now.
  11. I'd love to see Samardzija hone that slider. It can be a really good pitch when he's got it going.
