Rookie Fu-Te Ni makes striking debut Tom Gage / The Detroit News Oakland, Calif. -- Jason Giambi has hit 406 home runs in his career, 100 of them against left-handed pitchers. So to strike out Giambi on Monday night as the first batter he faced in his major-league career must have felt pretty good to Tigers' left-hander Fu-Te Ni. It did. But because it was a strikeout -- not because it came against a proven power hitter whose name he's known a long time. In fact, the rookie from Taiwan had never heard of Giambi. "He doesn't know him," Ni's interpreter said. But the strikeout ball is going on a shelf at home all the same -- the shelf that his father, Jin-Chi Ni, is making to hold his son's memorabilia. Through his interpreter, Ni said he was both nervous and excited about his debut in the Tigers' 7-1 defeat to the Oakland A's. He struck out three in 1 2/3 innings and allowed a run on Ryan Sweeney's solo home run, but all in all, it wasn't a bad debut. "He did fine," manager Jim Leyland said. "He got his feet wet in the big leagues and I'm happy for him. "I thought he was halfway impressive. He threw strikes, had pretty good velocity and his breaking ball was better than it looked in spring training. He'll be OK." Chemistry? He's not calling it that, but Leyland said this team is "probably the closest I've had since I've been here." The closest? During the games or after? "All around," Leyland said. "It's really a fun group. We have some different type characters. "This is a team that pulls pretty hard together. There's no real tension." Around the horn The verdict is surgery. Nate Robertson will undergo surgery today to remove the "mass" that's been found in his left elbow. There's no word on how long he'll be out -- or if, indeed, he's done for the season. ... His debut is out of the way, but Ni will find the majors different than the minors in more ways than one. The biggest initial adjustment could be that he won't be allowed to have his interpreter at the mound during discussions -- as was permitted in the minors. "Actually," catcher Dusty Ryan said, "it might not be that much of a problem. He's picked up the meaning of a lot of baseball terms since spring training." More important than that, he's picked up a lot of movement on his curve. ... The highest bid for Magglio Ordonez's hair on eBay remains at $6,000. The auction ends on Saturday. ... A's starter Brett Anderson (4-7) was both wild and effective. He walked a season-high of four, but also struck out a season high of seven. ... Coupling the 14 strikeouts they had against the Tigers and their 13 strikeouts on Sunday against Colorado, the A's have now struck out 13 or more batters in consecutive games for the first time in their history. 來源:http://0rz.tw/XUtCb DET　NEWS 晚點再來翻譯 -- Alex Rodriguez t a ╭◢█ ◣══ ███◣╮ ╭══◢█═◢█ ◣══════╮t a h n ║█▌ █ █ ◥█╰════╯◢ █ █▌ █ ◢ ◥╴ ║h n e s ║█▌ █ █◣ █ ◢█◣ ◢▌█ █ ◢ ◤ ▄( c●／║e s w ║███▌█▌███◤ █▌█ █◢█ █ ◥ ◣ ﹀￣ ║ w -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.174.164 ※ 編輯: mixmixmix45 來自: 118.167.174.164 (07/02 06:34)
