This Just In: Online Translators Stink.

I really, really wish I could tell you how Kameron pitched in an intersquad game yesterday, but I can't. Google translator has finally failed on me; not that it was exactly sufficient beforehand either. All I can really say is this: He pitched in his first intersquad game yesterday (the 22nd). As for the exact details, I'm not too sure. It's like someone wrote out a sentence on a piece of paper, cut out each individual word, put them all in a glass and started drawing out words to reform the sentence again. I will take a guess, though. I'm going to guess three hits and two runs.

You take a look and tell me what you think:


Pitcher Justin foreigner Jamano New (26 = San Diego Padres) low pitcher Cameron (27 = Rangers) 2 showed a pitching mound in the first intrasquad game. Jamano pitcher hits and no runs three times a pitcher hit a low two runs twice. Pitcher Jamano "The breaking ball is a different day. Today's game was so good curve ball." Low pitcher is "a good pitch for a strike at all" good mouth feel. Akiyama Director "(the struggle for Rothe's) come in full. Have found something good," wrote the future.


The Bold part is what I think might be referring to the game. Your guess is as good as mine...unless you can read Japanese or the Gibberish above.

In better news, I found a picture!!


I'm sure I just made every one's Monday a little better. I don't know about you, but I woke up with a big case of the Mondays this morning.

Yeah...that translator SUCKS!!! :( But the pic of Kam totally makes up for it. I miss him sooo much.

kam pitched 3 innings with no hits, no runs and two walks. he was inducing all ground balls and said he felt great. he did throw away a pick off, probably due to adrenaline, but won't let that happen again. said he's never felt this good this early in the season. can't wait for the real games to begin. hope we can find a way to watch them! still searching that one.

Thanks a lot for the clarification!! I really hope we can find a way to watch the games, too. I’ve found a site with a lot of people here in America that follow Japanese baseball and they search every season for a way to watch games (www.japanesebaseball.com). I’m sure something will come up by then and as soon as it does I will post it on the blog. So glad to hear Kameron pitched well!
