A-Rod understands Ortiz's plight Source: http://tinyurl.com/mopczo NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez didn't watch the events being beamed nationally from the hallway across from the Yankees' clubhouse on Saturday, as David Ortiz stared down a media phalanx and said he had never knowingly used steroids. ARod在星期六的洋基俱樂部中並未觀賞Ortiz的禁藥風波，當時David Ortiz正被媒體訪問有關於他用類固醇的事件。 In truth, after winning a draining 2-0 game against the Red Sox with a 15th-inning home run, Rodriguez said he was still sleeping when Ortiz made his way to the podium in Yankee Stadium's basement. But Rodriguez still knew just how Big Papi might have felt. 事實上，經過漫長15局與紅襪第二場大戰以2:0贏得比賽之後，ARod說當Ortiz在洋基球場的地下室訪問時，他還在睡覺，但Arod仍然了解老爹心中的感覺。 "David's a good friend," Rodriguez said. "I've been there and done that. I've lived it. Whatever he did, I hope he feels better about it. I certainly did once I had my press conference." ARod說老爹是他的好朋友，我曾經有有那段經驗，不管他怎麼做，我都希望他能好起來。 It was Feb. 17 when Rodriguez was thrust into a similar situation, taking a seat in a converted picnic tent at the Yankees' Spring Training complex in Tampa, Fla., and holding a 32-minute news conference in front of approximately 150 reporters and media members. 在今年2月17日時ARod也曾經捲入相似的情況，曾經有32分鐘的記者會，前面大約有150 個記者和媒體人。 That day, Rodriguez addressed a Sports Illustrated report that stated he was among the 104 players who failed tests in Major League Baseball's 2003 survey program, claiming that he had been "young and stupid" in using a performance-enhancing drug known as "Boli" from 2001-03 with the Rangers. 那天，ARod被報導指出在2003年104個大聯盟球員中他的藥檢報告並未通過，ARod也聲明他自己是年輕又無知用類固醇來比賽，當時2001至2003年效力於Rangers。 Months removed now, Rodriguez said Saturday that the news conference and Spring Training as a whole were "embarrassing," and that he had to deal with the "humiliation" of having that cloud over him. 幾月過後，ARod說星期六的記者會和春訓真是尷尬到極點，他必須面對這種污辱的感覺。 But Rodriguez said that he now feels at peace, and given an opportunity to go back to Tampa and Feb. 17, he wouldn't have changed a thing. 但ARod說他現在感覺很平靜，而且給自己一個機會能回到Tempa去。 "I'm so proud of the way things came out," Rodriguez said. "I took a lot of things off my chest, and to me, since that press conference, I felt like a new man. I feel like I've been embraced by the city of New York, my teammates, coaches and manager. I feel liberated." ARod說我對於這些事情的出現感到榮幸，我放下了好多的事情，而且對我來說，自從記者會後，我自己感覺像一個新的人一樣，當時感覺就像能擁抱紐約市一樣，不論是我的隊友，教練或經理，我真的感覺很自由。 The 34-year-old Rodriguez is batting .261 with 20 home runs 62 RBIs in 78 games since being reinstated from the disabled list on May 8, having left the team in March to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right hip labrum. Rodriguez was stuck in Vail, Colo., rehabbing until mid-April, and for him, he believes the solitude of the snowy mountain air helped put the game into perspective. 34歲的ARod自從5/8回到球場後的78場比賽中目前的打擊率是0.261，20隻全壘打，62分打點，但對他而言，在經過臀部手術後又回到球場，讓他自己對於比賽更有不同的展望。 "I just think going back to Colorado and this hip injury for me was kind of a blessing in disguise, just thinking about it," Rodriguez said. "It kind of gave me a chance to refocus and take, basically, a timeout from all the white noise I created for myself in the last year. I feel like now I have an opportunity to play baseball and focus on the gift that God gave me." 這臀傷對我而言就像上帝的祝福，ARod說就像是有一個新的機會能重新找我自我，我感覺我有機會能再打棒球並專注於上帝所給我的恩賜。 A-Rod came up big in the 15th inning for New York on Friday, rocketing a line drive into the left-center-field bullpen off Junichi Tazawa. As he approached home plate, Rodriguez instinctively braced his right hip for the impact of a mobbing group of teammates. ARod在星期五紐約球場15局下擊出兩分點再見全壘打，重重的將Tazawa擊潰。直到ARod 到達本壘時，ARod直覺的保護摸著他的臀部以怕被蜂擁而上的隊友用到。 "I do have limitations with my hip, but I think I'm getting stronger and better, " Rodriguez said. "I think I'm able to play better in key situations, just because I'm at peace with myself and I'm free." ARod說我讓我因為我的臀傷而有一些限制，但是我覺得這會讓我更強更好，而且我覺得我在關鍵時刻時都能打得更好，只是因為我覺得我現在很自由，很隨興。 It was the 573rd homer of Rodriguez's Major League career, tying Harmon Killebrew for ninth place on baseball's all-time list, but Rodriguez said he has been able to put those achievements aside. ARod生涯已經擊出573隻全壘打了，而且緊跟著第九位Harmon Killebrew，但ARod說他目前都先把個人成績放在旁邊。以球隊戰績為優先。 "What I'm proud of this year is that I get to be a good team member in helping this team win, and focusing on what I do best, which is playing baseball, " Rodriguez said. "I think having a shortened season for me really allows me to focus on throwing all the personal stuff out the window." 今年我很感到榮幸的是我有很好的隊友幫我們球隊贏得勝利，和我能專注表現我最好的一面，ARod說對我來說短短的球季能使我拋開個人戰績來幫助球隊贏球。 Part of that has been made easier by the Yankees' big imports of CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira, all of whom have been successful in their first seasons wearing pinstripes. Rodriguez may still have the biggest contract in the room, but he doesn't have to occupy center stage. 其中有些關鍵人物的影響像是CC Sabathia，Burnett，和TeiXeira，他們都穿著細條紋的衣服，但ARod仍是洋基隊中薪水最高的球員，但他卻不需要當中間的主角。 "It's been enormous," Rodriguez said. "I think that's helped me go out and be an integral part of this team and make noise with the big hits that I get helping the team win. Our team this year is playing well -- there's music and apple pies and belts. The energy has changed. AROD說這很重要，我覺得這能幫助我們凝聚球隊的信心，在擊出大隻的打擊時都能夠有很吵鬧的聲音。我們球隊今年打得不錯，有音樂也有派。士氣也隨之改變。 "I'm enjoying the game at a level that I really haven't enjoyed before. I'm 100 percent about my team and winning games. In the past, I was so consumed with trying to do special things that now, I'm just worried about one thing. It's winning." 我現在很享受每一場之前未曾享受到的比賽，我百分之百的信任我的隊伍贏得比賽，在過去我曾試著盡我所能表現比較特別，但現在我只擔心一件事，就是球位贏球。 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.80.19 ※ 編輯: teddy8989 來自: 140.113.80.19 (08/10 16:43)
