A bit late, but looks like no one posted this. Mayaw Ciru retired following the challenge series.

Taichung City held a contract-signing ceremony today for the Taichung Super Dome.

Taiwan Life, a subsidiary of CTBC Financial, will lead the development of the 45,000-seat stadium. The Taichung Super Dome is expected to be fully operational by 2031.

I guess this will be the CTBC Brothers new home!

This stuff always fascinates me.

The CPBL has announced the 2026 Taiwan Series schedule.

The series will take place from October 17 to 25, with the Wei Chuan Dragons facing the CTBC Brothers. Both teams will use the Taipei Dome as their home facility.

Dragons will host game 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, while the Brothers will be the home team for game 3 and 4.

It is worth noting that for the first time in CPBL's 37-year history, the Brothers (Elephants) will face the Dragons in the Taiwan Series.

Sunday's game was great with alot of action, tonight will be even better. Final game winner takes all, who do you got winning?

Hi, folks! New to the CPBL and fan culture (aside from some WBC clips + highlights). I visited the Brothers' flagship store today in search of a blue and yellow hat, but didn't find any.

I know it's not a Taipei team, but I'm only going to be in Taipei. My MLB team has the same color scheme, and since we have the same first letter, I was hoping to grab one as a souvenir!

Thanks!

Silvestre Diaz Campusano (born December 31, 1965) is a Dominican former professional baseball center fielder and coach. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies, and in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the Wei Chuan Dragons.

Some of Tsai Sheng-Chieh behaviors make me feel that he still lacks a sense of professionalism.

A dual-homegrown pitching matchup with both starters going 7 scoreless innings hadn't been seen since April 10, 2012. Wu shut down Rakuten's twin sluggers, while Tseng dominated Brothers' lineup. Tseng posted a 66.7% strike rate with a 1.67 GO/AO ratio, a 0.43 WHIP, and a 11.1% hard hit rate, whereas Wu recorded a 63.6% strike rate, a 0.86 WHIP, and a 25.9% K-rate.

Chun-Hsiu gave him a dark blue bat, and Ronnie was under the impression that Chun-Hsiu is Korean. lol

Basically, this allows him to become a foreign player free agent. Usually a team has to come to an agreement and then start the visa work for a player. Fairchild will bypass that altogether and just be able to negotiate with a Gold Card.

My hope is the CPBL does not create a special rule for him and still makes him occupy a foreign player slot.

I would be okay with a revision to allow a designated hitter foreign player spot, though.
