NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez hasn't compared himself to any animals after two games of the American League Division Series, but his 2006 postseason has started in strikingly similar fashion as his 2005 playoffs. A-Rod在ALDS的二場比賽後還沒有以任何動物來比喻自己的表現. 但是他2006年季後賽表現跟2005年的令人驚訝的相似. A-Rod, who said he played like "a dog" after going 2-for-15 in the five-game ALDS against the Angels last October, is 1-for-8 (.125) with a single and four strikeouts in the first two games against the Tigers. A-Rod在去年10月對LAA的五場比賽15支2,他將自己的表現比喻為"a dog" 在目前前二場對Tigers 8支1(0.125) 1支一安 4次SO. Rodriguez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Thursday, including a first-inning punchout against Justin Verlander with the bases loaded. Rod在星期四的比賽中4支0 三次三振, 包括第一局滿壘時對Verlander沒有適時安打. "All I'm trying to do is go out and do the best I can," Rodriguez said. "We win as a team and lose as a team. My job is to contribute to a win, and I didn't do that today." Rod表示"目前我很認真地出場比賽並盡力表現, 我們榮辱與共,不管贏球或輸球都要在一起我的工作是為球隊的勝利盡力貢獻,很可惜今天我並沒有做到." Since Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS against the Red Sox, Rodriguez is 5-for-40, a .125 average. In his last 10 postseason games, he has not driven in a run for the Yankees. When asked if he was frustrated by his lack of production in the postseason, Rodriguez said he was still having fun, adding, "It's not over yet." 從2004 ALCS對Red Sox第四場以來,A-Rod已經40支5 (0.125), 在他最近10場季後賽比賽中,他沒有為Yankees得到一分. 當被問到他是否為在季後賽表現不佳感到挫折時, Rod表示他仍很高興地打球,並補充"他的表現還沒有結束" Manager Joe Torre said that he has no reason to think that Rodriguez is pressing at the plate, though the results may indicate otherwise. Manager Joe Torre表示他並不認為A-Rod在打擊區受到很大壓力, 這樣的結果表示在某些地方一定出了問題. "He's got such a great temperament, and I didn't see anything before the game that made me uncomfortable with the fact that he was pressing," Torre said. "I think just the fact that he had not got any hits, I don't think has anything to do with the fact that he's lost any kind of confidence." "他的心情目前還不錯,我在比賽前沒有看到任何事情讓我認為A-Rod目前有很大的壓力我只是認為他沒有擊出任何安打而已, 我不認為有任何事顯示他已經失去信心." 以下是有關球隊的狀況就不翻了.... For starters: Torre had no plans to announce his Game 4 starter until it was cer tain that the series would go that long, so after the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the T igers on Thursday, he named Jaret Wright as Saturday's pitcher. Cory Lidle will continue to serve as the long man in the bullpen, so he will be on call if Randy Johnson experiences any problems with his balky back on Friday night. Close call: Gary Sheffield was involved in a scary play in the first inning on T hursday, colliding with Sean Casey on the first-base line. Sheffield, who has been playing first base for about two weeks since returning f rom a severe wrist injury, was pulled off the bag by Derek Jeter's wide throw. S heffield tried to tag Casey, but the two men collided, forcing the ball out of S heffield's glove. "I knew when he threw it that it was going to be close to the runner," Sheffield said. "The throw kept tailing, so I had to get off the base before the ball got by me. I scooped it and got ready to look up and protect the baseball, but befo re I did that, he ran into me." complete coverage Home | News | Video | Audio | Photos Sheffield removed his glove and held his wrist, and it appeared as though he was wincing in pain. Torre and team trainer Gene Monahan went to check on Sheffield , who remained in the game. "That's the play that concerns me. That's the one I've always thought about." Sh effield said. "I could feel the blow. I mean, he's 230 [pounds], but I'm OK." Johnny on the spot: Johnny Damon fouled a ball off his left leg in the ninth inn ing, catching himself just above the knee. Damon walked out of the batter's box, where Torre and Monahan came out to check on him, but he finished the at-bat, flying out to center to end the game. "It's got a little black-and-blue mark, but hopefully it doesn't swell too much, " Damon said. "I should be ready to go by tomorrow." Struggling sophomore: Robinson Cano had no problem avoiding a sophomore slump du ring the regular season, contending for the AL batting crown with a .342 average . The postseason has been a different story, as he is 0-for-8 in the first two gam es of the Division Series. "There are some pitches I'm just missing, and when I hit them, I'm hitting it st raight at guys," Cano said. "I feel good at the plate, [the Tigers are] just a g ood team. It's going to come." Hit machine: Derek Jeter's 5-for-5 performance in Game 1 gave him hits in each o f his last seven postseason at-bats, one shy of the Major League record. He coul dn't add his name to the record books on Thursday, though, as he popped up a bun t attempt in his first at-bat. Jeter homered and singled in his final two at-bats of Game 5 against the Angels last October to start the streak, then had five hits on Tuesday night. In the se ven at-bats, Jeter had two homers, two doubles, three singles, four runs scored and two RBIs. The record of eight consecutive hits in the postseason is shared by Reggie Jacks on (1977-78), Billy Hatcher (1990) and Miguel Cairo (2001-02). -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 192.192.90.214
