照這樣下去，每天都有看不完的報導及文章。 From: http://blogs.courant.com/yankees/2007/04/the_good_place.html The good place The lineups: Johnny Damon, CF, Derek Jeter, SS, Bobby Abreu, LF, Alex Rodriguez, 3B, Jason Giambi, DH, Jorge Posada, C, Robinson Cano, 2B, Doug Mientkiewicz, 1B, Melky Cabrera, LF. Same as last night. For the Twins: Luis Castillo, 2B, Nick Punto, 3B, Joe Mauer, C, Michael Cuddyer, RF, Justin Morneau, 1B, Torii Hunter, CF, Josh Rabe, LF, Mike Redmond, DH, Jason Bartlett, SS. Barlett's hitting .056. Welcome back to another exciting edition of the Courant's Yankee Blog, (CYB), where blogging won't hurt any more. It's an open smile on a friendly shore. .... Your host, Dom Amore, checking back in from the Metrodome, where the big snowstorm expected tonight won't affect this indoor series. Big topic in Joe Torre's pregame jam session was, natch, Alex Rodriguez and his historic start to the season. "Alex is just in good place right now," Torre said. "It's a lot of fun for us to watch him." Rodriguez is not only in a good "mental" place, but a good physical spot, hitting behind Johnny Damon, Derek Jeter and especially Bobby Abreu in the Yankees lineup. "You get to see about 30 pitches every night before you even get up there," said Rodriguez, who is the first Yankee to hit five home runs in the first six games. "Now, what's the record for the first seven games?" Torre wanted to know. You can bet Elias Sports Bureau is on it. Biggest thing CYB sees from Rodriguez is the way he's spreading the ball around. HIs last four homers have been to straight-away left, dead-center, right-center and straight-away right. That's the way he hit in Texas, and one of the reasons he seemed a good fit for the Yankees. But somewhere along the line, Rodriguez lost that hit--where-it's-pitched approach and starting trying to pull everything, playing into pitchers' hands, especially in the clutch, when they'd offer nothing to pull. "When you look up the middle and to the opposite field," Torre said, "you're not as apt to be fooled, because you're seeing the ball a split-second longer. Right now, it looks like Alex doesn't care what they throw him. He just looks comfortable." Rodriguez obviously had some really hot stretches during his MVP year in 2005, but they were somehow lost in the flow of that season. This hot streak, coming right from the start of a season, looks like something different. Talk to you again about the fifth inning. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.69.75.117
