〔體育中心/綜合報導〕儘管韓職成為全世界第二開幕的職棒聯盟,還有美國ESPN電視轉播,加上日前流傳美職球團評價中職是低階到高階1A,水準不比韓職,但推特上仍有許多美國球迷不離不棄力挺中職。
美國ESPN記者李維拉(Marly Rivera)依舊準時收看昨天的獅象戰:「第3局,比數6:4,這會是很長的比賽!」 一名費城的老師回應:「現在是8:4,第4局了,我想我還是會堅持看台灣棒球,昨天ESPN轉播的KBO實在很粗糙,轉播單位根本不想聊比賽,他們忽略每一局發生的事情,就像在收看一場有棒球賽當背景的脫口秀。」
還有一名美國洋基迷說:「我喜歡CPBL的轉播可以提供很多台灣文化的觀點,還有球隊和球員的背景,這是ESPN對KBO所做不到的。」
美國體育專欄作家葉茲(Clinton Yates)說:「老實說,KBO是更好的聯盟,也有更多隊,但沒必要抹煞CPBL至今的努力和成就,他們是第一個開打的聯盟,所以我也第一個看它們。」
有美國球迷回應:「台灣和韓國開打時段有不同,韓國在美國時間半夜兩點開打,打完都天亮了,中職是淩晨四點和五點半開打,早上起來看比較簡單。」
Now 8-4 in the 4th. I think I'm sticking with the games from Taiwan. Yesterday's KBO broadcast was rough. The crew just did not want to talk about the game. They ignored the acton for innings at a time. It was like watching a talk show with a baseball game in the background. https://t.co/22wJWKZw7n

I like that the broadcasters of the CPBL can offer so much insight into the culture in Taiwan & the players on the teams. The ESPN broadcasters can't really do that for the KBO. @ElevenSportsTW

to be clear, the KBO is absolutely better baseball and there are more teams. aka, a better league.

no shame in CPBL’s effort and achievements so far and continuing. They were live baseball first this season so I watched it first.
more live baseball? more baseball to watch.
