Got it from an e-mail:

10 list of rules to shift the shift the odds
in your favor.

1) Pitching - keep the ball low most of the time and on the
corners.

How many hitters do you know that can hit an inside or outside
low pitches very hard?

2) Pitching - Throw strikes early. Get ahead in the count. Then mix.

3) Avoid walks at almost all cost except in a few situations.

I'm allergic to walks. Most of the time, almost 60-70% come to
score - especially when given early in the inning.

4) Don't give easy bases to any runner, especially to the
trail runner.

5) Always get at least one "sure" out. Lead runner if you can.

The team that gets to 21 out the fastest usually wins.

6) Catchers or any fielder - don't throw if you have almost
no chance to get an out.

The team that makes the least errors usually wins.

7) Swing at strikes and if you are going to swing at a bad pitch -
swing hard.

Even if you are chasing a bad pitch, at least, send a message or
swing hard enough to maybe get a scratch hit out of it instead
of a lazy pop-up or weak grounder.

8) With two strikes and less than 3 balls - swing at anything that
looks like a strike.

I would rather go down fighting and have a chance to hit than get
beat without a fight.

9) Be aggressive on the bases. Make the defense work to get you out.

10) Get the sacrifice bunt down in fair territory and don't aim for
the lines.

The purpose of the hitter in a sac bunt situation is not to be safe
at first. It's the to advance the runner. Too many are trying out
to bunt the perfect ball - often along the lines and it rolls in foul
territory.

Make sure the ball is in play well inside the lines and just try to
bunt not directly at a fielder to make sure the runner
will make it safely to the next base.

Bottom line...

Offensively - Put the ball in play. Swing the ball hard. Run a lot. challenge the defense.

Defensively - Get at least one "sure" out on every play. Avoid walks
like the plague in most situations.  Keep the ball low most of the time.
Get ahead in the count. Don't get easy bases. Force the opposite team to "earn" their
runs - don't give them to them.

These are somewhat very simple and very basic.

BUT can u apply it all the time?

最後的戰役

it's a new start!

 早前在書店的櫥窗看見了一本新書的宣傳照

前兩天在書店草草翻閱，好像不錯呢

在世界歷史上，可能從來沒有一個國家像日本這樣，建立過如此包羅萬象、朝野齊心投入的情報系統；也沒有一個民族像大和民族這樣，情報觀念幾乎根深蒂固於全體成員的血脈。正是因為情報戰的出色運用，近代以來的日本人，總能在出人意料的時間或地點，以某種出人意料的方式，讓世界大為震驚。

作者在本書中剖析了日本文化中一直被人所忽略的強烈特徵：以情報立命，視情報為島國生存、拓展的第一要義；較系統翔實地闡述了從明治維新至今，日本在政治、軍事、經濟、科技、文化等領域的重大情報活動，以及其正史野史裏所涉及人物的再解讀。

近日酒不離口

有點力不從心的感覺......

昨晚到了 aqua spirit

回hall 後又再上了dining hall天台跟細仙們吹水
