※ 引述《chanword (chanword)》之銘言： : Yankees' revival led by Rodriguez : ---On historic pace, third baseman pulls club out of early funk : --Mike Bauman : NEW YORK -- One thing has become increasingly clear: If the Yankees : do not succeed this season, it is going to be very difficult to blame : Alex Rodriguez. 有件事越來越清楚那就是如果洋基本季不成功很難去責怪A-Rod : After an otherworldly April and a merely mortal May, A-Rod is back on : top in June. He drove in 18 runs in the first 10 days of the month, as : many RBIs as any player had in that span in the last 57 seasons. And : since then, he hasn't exactly flatlined. 經歷驚人的四月正常一點的五月六月的A-Rod絕好調六月的前十天他打了18分甚至是很多球員目前的打點數甚至從那開始沒有衰退的跡象 : Rodriguez kept up the pace over this Subway Series weekend. On Sunday : night in the 2007 Series finale, he set the tone with a first-inning, : two-run home run. He added another RBI with a sacrifice fly in the third, : as the Yankees won the second half of the Series with an 8-2 victory over : the Mets. Rodriguez also doubled later, but he was leading off an inning, : and no further RBIs were available at the time. 這個週末的地鐵大戰 A-Rod持續火熱星期天晚上系列賽的最後一場第一局就轟出兩分打點的全壘打在第三局一支高飛犧牲打追加一分打點而最後洋基以8比2 打敗大都會 A-Rod還打了一支二壘安打但最後沒有打點 : After the evening's work, Rodriguez had 27 home runs and 73 RBIs. : "That's a pretty good season already," Yankees center fielder Johnny Damon : said. "And there's no sign of him slowing down. The guy's amazing." 目前A-Rod本季累計27發全壘打 73分打點洋基的中外野手大門說"這已經是很好的一個球季但他沒有慢下來的跡象這傢伙太驚人了" : Any number of players, putting up the numbers over a season that : Alex Rodriguez has in mid-June, would be calling their agents, putting in : motion requests for renegotiations of their contracts. 這可能是其他球員累計一季的成績可以找經紀人談張大約的成績但A-Rod在六月中就達到了 : But in this case, 60 percent of the season remains. Rodriguez is on a pace : for 65 home runs. That's gaudy, but even more substantially, he is on a : pace for 177 RBIs. That would put him in Mr. Hack Wilson's general : record-setting neighborhood. It would be work of true historical value. : It should also be duly reported that Rodriguez made a diving play to his left : in the second inning to take a hit away from Carlos Delgado. As much as : Chien-Ming Wang's relentless work on the mound made victory possible for : the Yankees on Sunday night, A-Rod's performance helped to make certain : that Wang's performance would not be in vain. 但現在還有六成的球季要進行 A-Rod 正朝著65發全壘打177分打點的目標邁進寫下歷史的紀錄而他在二局美技守備沒收Delgado的穿越安打伴隨王建民在投手丘上優異的表現完成洋基隊星期天晚上的勝利而A-Rod的表現讓小王的表現不會做白工 : It is possible that as stunning as A-Rod's April was -- 14 home runs, : 34 RBIs -- it did not receive the usual level of acclaim because at the : time, there was so much gnashing of teeth about the Yankees' early-season : struggles. Or, as Rodriguez put it on Sunday night, "April was OK, but we : weren't winning games, so it was kind of hard to enjoy it." A-Rod四月超人的表現-14發全壘打 34分打點當時因球隊戰績不佳而沒有激起什麼反應就像A-Rod說的"四月不錯但我們沒有贏球所以有點難去享受他" (**好文有點長...先這樣有人要接力嗎?**) : Now we are apparently in an entirely different era within the 2007 season. : The Yankees have won 11 of their last 12 games and 14 of their last 17. : Alex Rodriguez has been inescapably at the core of the Yankees' revival. : Even if he does not keep up this stratospheric run-production pace, it is : obvious that Rodriguez is on his way to a truly superior season, the kind : of season that is within the reach of only a few hitters, even in the : contemporary game. : It may be time to dispense with the baggage that has accompanied Rodriguez : around the Bronx for the last three-plus seasons, even when he was winning : an American League Most Valuable Player Award in 2005. : Does it matter that he is not beloved by one and all, in the fan base, in : the media, in the clubhouse? Not at this pace, it shouldn't. And at 177 RBIs, : it couldn't. : Does it matter that he is not considered by some to be a "true Yankee"? : And, by the way, who gets to make that call? Apparently being baseball's : most talented all-around player does not get you in the front door in this : category. But if at first you are not considered a "true Yankee" is there : a court of appeals somewhere to which you can take your case in hopes of : achieving true Yankee-ness? : It may be that Alex Rodriguez can achieve monumental things and still never : satisfy people. That is the one and only downside of receiving baseball's : richest contract, $252 million. The money has set Alex Rodriguez apart, : and not always in a particularly positive way. No one is going to feel : sorry for him. No one should feel sorry for him. But what kind of production : would justify that kind of money? Maybe 80 home runs? Perhaps 200 RBIs? : And the next year, does he have to hit 81 home runs and drive in 201 to : prove that he's not losing his edge? : In the end, the career of Alex Rodriguez, for widespread validation, : would require the one item that has been absent so far -- a World : Series championship. And one man, no matter how talented, does not : get there alone. : For now, Alex Rodriguez is doing everything humanly possible to get : the New York Yankees to that level. And the understanding that he can't : do it alone actually helps him achieve these astounding numbers. : In May, Rodriguez said, "I wasn't slumping. I was getting myself out." : By that, he meant that he was expanding the strike zone, attempting to : do too much himself, and in so doing, achieving less than he could have : achieved. : Back to being more selective, Rodriguez is back to being more sensational. : He describes a recent at-bat, a walk with the bases loaded against the : Pirates, and concludes: : "I was as proud of that at-bat as any home run. You have to trust your : teammates." : Those are the words of someone who has found a balance between his own : unparalleled talents and the requirements of a group undertaking. Things : are looking up again for the Yankees, but their direction is still uphill. : If this is another season that does not end with the seemingly necessary : championship, the finger of blame is going have to point in a direction : that does not include Alex Rodriguez. : --Mike Bauman : ----------------------------------------------------- : 官網的 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.108.141
