以下摘譯自官網文章"McGowan gives up three homers in loss" ============================================================================== McGowan gives up three homers in loss Right-hander abandons his curve, and Sox make him pay BOSTON -- Trust has been an important attribute for Dustin McGowan. Whenever Toronto's young starter has found a way to bury any doubt that's leaked into his mind, he's been as dominant as anyone on the Blue Jays' staff. 賣蛋蛋個人最重要的特質就是信任。當他能夠解決心中的疑惑時，他能夠展現出不輸其他任何先發的壓制力。 When McGowan struggles with trusting completely in his impressive pitch arsenal, he experiences meltdowns similar to the one he had on Saturday night. McGowan decided to abandon his faulty curveball at Fenway Park, and the Red Sox exploited the pitcher's more predictable approach and sent the Blue Jays to a 9-4 loss. 但當賣蛋蛋開始懷疑自己令人驚豔的能力時，下場就會跟星期六這場的賽的結果一樣悽慘。這場比賽賣蛋蛋放棄了令他不甚滿意的曲球，這讓紅襪的打者更能預測他的球種，而結果就是藍鳥以4-9輸球。 "Now that I look back, I should've thrown a couple more just to show I had it," said McGowan, second-guessing his decision after giving up a career-high three home runs. "Maybe I could've gotten a feel for it." 賣蛋蛋表示，賽後回想起來，他應該在比賽中多丟幾顆曲球來顯示這場比賽他會丟曲球的意圖。 Manager John Gibbons shared that sentiment after the defeat, which dropped the Jays (44-46) 11 games behind Boston (55-35) in the American League East. Gibbons was upset that McGowan threw his breaking pitch out of the equation, which downgraded the 25-year-old starter's repertoire to a fastball, changeup and an inconsistent slider. 總教頭吉本氏賽後也表達了不滿的情緒。現在藍鳥落後紅襪11場勝差。吉本氏不滿賣蛋蛋在這場比賽不願意丟曲球的舉動。少了曲球，賣蛋蛋的球種就剩下快速球、變速球、以及丟得不甚好的滑球。 "He really never could get anything established," Gibbons said. "I didn't think he did a very good job of using all his pitches. By that I mean breaking balls, which is a big pitch for him. He was pretty much limited to fastball and changeup." 吉本氏說賣蛋蛋沒有好好利用他的變化球，造成僅能依賴速球和變速球。 The curve has been an important factor behind the success McGowan has experienced since moving into Toronto's rotation at the beginning of May. When the right-hander has a good feel for the sharp pitch, it helps offset his overpowering fastball and keeps opposing batters guessing -- much as they did during McGowan's complete-game one-hitter on June 24. 曲球是賣蛋蛋五月初進入先發輪值後傑出表現的重要因素。當曲球銳利時，他可以藉此搭配速度相當好的快速球讓打者摸不著頭緒---就像6/24號那場一安比賽中的表現。 McGowan practiced snapping his curve in the bullpen before taking the mound against Boston, but he wasn't satisfied with how the pitch was working. He attempted to use the breaking ball again over the first few few innings, but found that the pitch was sailing outside the strike zone. 星期六賽前的練習中，賣蛋蛋發現曲球的效果不大好。比賽的前幾局他也嘗試丟了幾顆，但發現曲球會跑出好球帶。 "I tried to get on the mound and throw a couple, but it just wasn't there," he said. "It was one of those things that just went away." 賣蛋蛋表示曲球就是不聽話。 That didn't stop catcher Gregg Zaun from calling for curveballs as the game wore on. Even after McGowan decided against using it, Zaun tried to convince the pitcher to give it another shot. Instead, McGowan opted against going with the veteran catcher's signals. 不聽話的曲球並沒有讓捕手蔥哥將之摒除於配球之外。即使賣蛋蛋表示不想投曲球，蔥哥仍試圖說服賣蛋蛋再試試看。無奈賣蛋蛋依舊不理蔥哥call曲球的暗號。 "He threw it down," said McGowan, referring to Zaun's signs. "I was the one who shook it off. In my mind, I was thinking I didn't want to put myself further behind in the counts with it." 賣蛋蛋表示因為他不想讓球數落後，所以不想用曲球。 The absence of a strong curveball helped the Red Sox pounce on McGowan, who exited after giving up eight hits in five-plus frames. In the first inning, the right-hander fell into a 3-0 hole against Boston slugger David Ortiz, who then drilled a fastball over the short wall in right for a solo shot -- his first homer at Fenway since April 21. 這消失的曲球讓紅襪好好地"伺候"賣蛋蛋，5局多就賞了8安。一局下半Ortiz那支右外野的全壘打是自4/21號以後於芬威球場噴的第一支。 "That's a tough situation," McGowan said. "You know in the back of your mind it's 3-0 and there's a good possibility he might swing. Then again, you don't want to four-pitch-walk him right there in the first inning. It was one of those situations where you had to throw it and throw a strike. He hit it." 賣蛋蛋表示那時候0好3壞，Ortiz極有可能揮下一球，但因為不想保送他，所以丟了一顆快速球。 Ortiz wasn't the only left-handed batter to take advantage of McGowan's limited approach. Coco Crisp, Eric Hinske and Jason Varitek combined with Ortiz to go 5-for-10 with one double, one triple and three home runs, driving in six runs off McGowan. 左打的Ortiz不是唯一重傷害賣蛋蛋的左打。Coco Crisp,恨司機,Jason Varitek,和Ortiz 四人共10個打數，賞了5安，其中二壘打、三壘打各一支，全壘打三支，打進6分。 Entering the game, McGowan had limited lefties to a .254 batting average. He had also given up just two homers in his previous 10 starts, and only four this season. All seven of the moon shots McGowan has given up this year have been against left-handers, though. 這場比賽前，左打者對賣蛋蛋的打擊率僅0.254。近10場先發也僅被敲2支全壘打，本季也僅被敲4發。儘管如此，加上這場比賽的3發，本季被敲的7支全壘打都是左打者的傑作。 "Those lefties on that team can really hit," he said. "They have a lot of power on that team, and they get paid to hit mistakes. Tonight they hit them." 本段稱讚紅襪的左打部隊孔武有力。 Varitek's two-run blast in the sixth inning, which landed deep beyond the center-field wall and subsequently ended McGowan's evening, kicked off a five-run frame for Boston. It also effectively erased the work that Toronto's offense did against Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka. Varitek六局的兩分彈讓賣蛋蛋被換下場，也帶起了紅襪一波5分的攻勢，抵銷了藍鳥打線對紅襪投手的傷害後還有剩～ The Blue Jays managed four runs -- three on homers of their own -- over six innings against the right-hander. Troy Glaus and Aaron Hill, who each finished a triple short of the cycle, both belted home runs off Matsuzaka, who gave up nine hits in the outing. Hill's blast knotted the score at 4 before McGowan's final mistake sent the Fenway faithful home happy. 藍鳥打線從松大輔手中拿下4分，Glaus和Hill的2支全壘打打下其中3分。兩個人都剛好差一支三壘打就完成完全打擊。 As far as Gibbons was concerned, though, the night unraveled when McGowan stopped trusting in his curve. 就吉本氏來說，賣蛋蛋不信任自己曲球的結果是輸球的根本原因。 "It's really something he's got to stay with," Gibbons said. "Eventually, usually, it clicks." 吉本氏：這是他必須面對得問題，但通常最終這問題會順利解決。 -- 你給我一種感覺奇特的感覺一時之間我遺失了語言除非是『三月不揭的春帷』才讓我留下足以釀酒的眼淚你笑的一廂情願絕版的明信片恍惚置我於諸神的紀元誰不在等待他的貝德麗采清秀的佳人在日落盡處重現如果你柔情的雙眼懸掛在天邊我願是容納你筆直光線的深邃即使在世紀末以前極短的時間我也要散盡所有力氣雄雄為你搏一回 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.210.12.42
