[Reporter Lin Youchen/Report from Taipei] With the departure of Typhoon Qiangbi, the Taiwanese competition resumed from G5 today. CITIC Brothers, who took two consecutive days of typhoon leave and a total of three days of leave, changed their starting pitchers twice. Today, Rogo took over as the starter, striving to extend the front line.

Regarding the total three-day truce, CITIC Brothers head coach Hirano Keiichi said: "Of course we hope to have a good impact, but the conditions are the same for both sides."

Last year in the Taiwan competition, CITIC Brothers and Lotte Peach Monkey faced a postponement. Hirano said: "Actually, it's difficult to judge whether the adjustment is good or not. The winning team has better adjustment, that's all I can say."

The starting pitcher of CITIC Brothers was changed from Wu Lichen to Felix, and finally to Luo Ge. Hirano admitted that it might take half an hour to explain the considerations in detail. In short, it is to try to select the best pitcher. Hirano also said: "I told the players the same thing before the game. In order to create history, we still have three games. I believe everyone is paying attention to the players. I hope everyone will continue to look forward to them and the players will continue to fight."
