Sidearm pitcher Sung-bae Kim of the Lotte Giants

Sung-bae Kim, submarine pitcher

Kim had a good year last year for the Giants (of Busan, South Korea) with an ERA of 3.05 and 31 saves. He also struck out nearly three batters for each one that he walked. Korea is a hitter’s league so these stats are better than they may appear compared to MLB or Japan.

Look closely at the crowd. Late in the game nearly everyone pulled out an orange plastic bag, blew it up, and put it on their heads. I have no idea why. I never saw this happen in Gwangju at the Tigers games except the one time they were playing the Giants in which case a few of the visiting fans did the same thing.

A’s have best record in MLB

Jed Lowrie and Mike Gallego of the Oakland A’s

@Athletics Once again, it’s nice to see the have nots beat the haves. The Oakland Athletics are currently ranked #26 in payroll but #1 in winning percentage. Similar things could be said for them for most years of their existence. Today’s photo includes Mike Gallego, the current 3rd base coach, who played for some of the low-budget, lots-of-wins A’s teams of my youth.
