Notes: A-Rod downplaying slump 05/02/2006 10:06 PM ET By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com http://tinyurl.com/ledrv BOSTON -- Things haven't been going to well for Alex Rodriguez. At least that's what the stat line says. Don't tell that to A-Rod, who feels like he is on the verge of breaking out, despite the 1-for-14 slump he is currently battling. 最近對 A-Rod 來說實在不大順，至少成績顯示出來是這樣。不過別再提醒他了，他對於陷入 1-14的低潮，整個人都在爆發邊緣了。 "I walked twice [Monday], which is always a good sign for me," he said. "The key is swinging at strikes, having good at-bats. I feel good. One or two games and I'll be right back in the mix. It's not a big deal." "我星期一獲得兩次保送，對我來說是好跡象。"他表示。"關鍵是揮棒打好球、在打擊區感覺不錯。再一、兩場比賽我就會恢復。這沒什麼大不了的。 Rodriguez is hitting just .261 with five home runs and 16 RBIs in 24 games, a far cry from the hot start he got off to last season en route to the American League MVP Award. 二十四場比賽裡，現在他只有兩成六一打擊率、五支全壘打、十六分打點，跟他上一季最後獲得美聯MVP的好開季有相當大的差距。 "He's got so much ability and he's capable of doing so many things, he asks himself to do too many things," said manager Joe Torre. "Slumps are something you have to endure and fight your way through, and there's no quick way to get out of one." "他各方面能力都很好，因此他什麼都想做好，他對自己要求太高了，" Joe Torre 如此表示。"低潮是你一定會經歷而且要從其中走出來的，沒有什麼捷徑可以走出低潮。" Rodriguez, who is batting just .226 with runners in scoring position this season, went 7-for-33 on the Yankees' recent homestand, a .212 stretch. A-Rod 現在當得分圈上有跑者的機會打擊率只有兩成二六，在洋基主場是 7-33 打擊率兩成二一的低迷狀態。 "I think he's just fighting himself more than anybody else or any other team," Torre said. "It's just all about him. He's just trying to find that comfort zone, which he hasn't had for a while." "我想他正在面對自己，試圖戰勝自己，而不是被其他人或其他球隊打敗" Torre表示。 "這是他自己的奮鬥。他希望能夠回到原先的狀態，那個他好一陣子找不回來的感覺。" A-Rod is headed for two games at Tropicana Field before visiting his old home in Arlington, Texas, this weekend, where he has always hit well during his career. A-Rod 會先到純品康納球場打兩場比賽再到他過去的主場，德州的阿靈頓，那個他生涯中總是打得很好的地方。 "I feel like I can hit anywhere, always," he said. "I feel like any time I go to the box, something good is going to happen, regardless of whether I'm 20-for-20 or 0-for-30. One swing, two good consecutive at-bats, it can get you on a roll and it can be pretty scary." "我認為我可以把球擊向任何地方，我總是這麼認為" 他表示。"我認為任何時候當我步上打擊區，就會有好事發生，不管我是20-20的火熱狀態或是0-30的超級低潮。一個好的揮擊，兩個連續表現不錯的打席，就可以讓你恢復水準，讓對方心驚膽跳。" "It's a long season," he added. "I'm taking good at-bats. The most important thing is that I'm healthy and I feel great. It's going to be a great year." "球季還很長，"他補充。"我現在打擊的感覺不錯，最重要的是我現在健康並且感覺很好。"今年將會是我表現出色的一年。 -- My blog: Yankees, Sixers, Jimcal http://blog.xuite.net/jimcal/blog 關於洋基、七六人的部落格 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.246.142
