The CTBC Brothers have been having a tough season so far, and their poor performance is angering not just the fans. On Tuesday, the team faced off against the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions at Taipei Dome, which resulted in a crushing defeat, dashing the team’s hopes of winning the season title. The Brothers’ pitchers handed out a total of eight walks during the game, causing their pitching coach, Wang Chien-ming, to boil over in anger. The usually calm and collected sportsman was seen slamming the door of the phone box in the dugout, in a display of rage so shocking that even the game’s commentators were taken by surprise. Let’s hear more.

- For Coach Wang Chien-ming…Wow…
- He really is furious.
- You rarely see anything like this.

George Chao
Baseball commentator
The pitchers couldn’t even throw strikes, so Wang Chien-ming probably got angry in the moment. I think that his frustration had been building up over the past month, as the team’s pitching performance has been quite far from Wang Chien-ming’s expectations. I actually ran into him recently and asked whether the pressure gets heavy when the team isn’t doing well. He said: yes; that now, no matter how he stands, how he talks, or how he tries to coach the players, it feels like nothing is working or feels quite right.

Wang is known for his quiet personality, and the last time he had an outburst in public was during a game some 20 years ago, when he was the ace pitcher for the New York Yankees. After giving up a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Wang stormed off the field and threw his glove to the ground in frustration. Two decades later, he is once again angry but in a different role. Watching his young pitchers struggle, he could hardly hide his disappointment, a feeling many fans would understand.
