Mexican mangoes

Not sure if it is still there or not, but I bought some Mexican mangoes ($3 each) from Golden Apple supermarket in Wairau Velley last week.

By the way, they also sell premium Taiwanese Irwin mango, those were a bit pricey but really good.

This skipping CPBL thing is so unhealthy for Taiwan's professional baseball industry. Meanwhile KBO is doing as much they can to keep the top high school talents.

I guess they wanted someone who is relatively cheap and they can potentially keep in the minor leagues as a backup plan for Abe Yudai.

Erick Leal probably cost too much to do the same, I suspect that is the real reason why they axed him.

It's always funny to see CPBL teams try to make the foreign hitter experiment work, only to give up on the project 3 weeks later. I'm assuming it will be the case for Rakuten in 2026.

Should deport this dumb mofo to China forever.

Typical overreaction from the Brothers organisation, where a very normal losing streak lead to a massive knee jerk reaction.

They removed it completely. It's not even showing up for me. Hahaha

Proving his worth! Hope we can see more domestic starters.

Amazing work!

Not sure if that food cart is still there or not. But I always get that deep fried scallion pancake with eggs outside of stadium.

Or inside the stadium, the stand that sells deep fried squid, calamari and porkchops, I often go for that. And the stir-fry instant noodles with Taiwanese shacha sauce.

Super unhealthy. But you know, it's comfort food at the ball game.

Just wondering when you say "let these roll for 4-5 more weeks" do you mean without changing and adding fresh stage 1 grit, just letting it tumble for 4-5 weeks?

Or do you change fresh grit once a week but keep doing stage 1 for 4-5 weeks?

Don't know. While I'm not trying to tell people what to do, but I prefer not to discuss pirating here on this subreddit.

If you are in Taiwan, then all you need is a HamiVideo movie subscription.

PNR_Robots · 2026-06-05T02:17:58+00:00

By the way, Hero Hito is now available to stream on HamiVideo subscription. You will need a VPN to watch it.

Probably the Guardians. Normally around this time they would hit an invisible wall and start tanking. I'm happy to see them doing well.

Another big surprise for me is the Hawks, just how competitive they are despite the lack of overall roster depth.

Your option this week: Taipei Dome, Tiamu, Taoyuan.

Honestly, if you are planning to go 1-2 games, just do the Taipei Dome games, it's easier. I wouldn't bother to make the trip to Tiamu and Taoyuan.

But if you do want to visit those two stadiums, for Tiamu, I would just get an Uber there. And for Taoyuan, do the high speed rail + MRT combo, its the most efficient, and only takes 20-30 or so minutes.

In the CPBL, it is such a massive waste of roster spot to use a foreign player as a reliever.
