In a case unprecedented in the 20-year history of post-season baseball in Taiwan, the manager of the Sinon Bulls will be fined for not appearing at a post-game press conference, Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) said Monday. Bulls manager Hsu Sheng-ming failed to meet with reporters Sunday after his team lost to the Brother Elephants 3-1 in Douliou, Yunlin County, to go two games down in the CPBL's best-of-seven Taiwan Series. Hsu will be fined NT$10,000 (US$324.33) according to CPBL rules, the league announced. In a telephone interview with the Central News Agency, Hsu said he was not sure whether the press conference would take place and was already on the team bus eating his dinner when league officials came to find him. 'We were halfway through our meal, ' explained Hsu. 'It didn't seem reasonable under the circumstances.' 'I will explain (the situation) to the league, and it's up to them to determine if they can accept it.' The series resumes Tuesday night in Taoyuan County.
