Ni began by fanning Giambi on a 0-2 pitch (after several fouls). In his 1 2/3 innings, he fanned three and yielded one run on one hit -- a homer by Ryan Sweeney. Porcello, who made his big-league debut less than three months ago, said, “Watching his big-league debut, and (Alfredo) Figaro’s a few weeks ago, it’s cool because very recently I went through the same thing they did. It’s fun to be there and see it because you know what it’s doing for their lives and how excited they must be. “It was fun to watch him, and he threw the ball well.” Ni, it seems, might be a bit of a perfectionist. Through his translator, he said he wasn’t that thrilled with his outing, despite the strikeouts. “Not only the home run, but I didn’t throw the ball to the location the catcher wanted,” Ni said. 底特律新聞報 http://tinyurl.com/kskfut 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." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.23.229
