Dodgers stifled by Pirates Club manages just six hits; Little praises Kuo in defeat 道奇熄火，全場僅擊出六安;總教練Little稱郭泓志雖敗猶榮。 Two months and a couple false starts into the season and Grady Little finally has the rotation he's wanted. After announcing the Tuesday return of Jason Schmidt, he took the wraps off Hong-Chih Kuo Saturday night. And although Kuo suffered the 3-1 loss to the Pirates in his first start of the year, his manager was talking about wins afterward. 經過開季以來的調整，Little終於排定了他心目中的先發輪值表。 Little在發表Schmidt將於週二歸隊之聲明後，又在週六夜晚排上郭泓志登板。雖然郭對上海盜以3：1吞下今年先發的首敗，但Little對郭的將來充滿期待。 "We've got a lot of confidence in the kid and we know he's going to pitch well," Little said after Kuo's eventful 4 2/3 innings. "We feel confident the people we run out there now have a chance to win games." 『我們對這孩子十分有信心，我們知道他會是個好投手』，Little在郭投出驚險的4又2/3局後評論道『我們對於本隊的先發投手群非常有信心』。 No surprise he feels that way about Schmidt, who takes back his job from Mark Hendrickson after seven weeks on the disabled list, or Derek Lowe, his Opening Day starter, and certainly not with his pair of seven-game winners, Brad Penny and Randy Wolf. Schmidt毋庸置疑令人放心，他在傷兵名單待了七周之後終於歸隊，將代替 Hendrickson重回先發名單，開幕戰投手Lowe、還有二位七勝投手Penny和Wolf也是一時之選。 But the confidence in Kuo has more to do with potential than performance, because Kuo has more Tommy John elbow reconstructions (two) than Major League victories (one). 但對於第五號先發郭，Little的信心並非源於郭的戰績（目前大聯盟勝場：1），而是郭的無窮潛力（Tommy John手術次數：2）。 Yet he's been Little's presumed choice as fifth starter since Spring Training, ahead of Chad Billingsley, and not even Kuo's shoulder injury has shaken Little's confidence. 春訓時郭本來是Little預定的第五號先發，排名尚在Billingsley之前。但直到郭的肩膀傷勢動搖了Little的信心。 In part, there's Kuo's stated and documented preference for starting over relieving, whereas Billingsley has succeeded in relief. But Little also remembers the six scoreless innings Kuo pitched under pennant-race pressure in New York last September for his only victory and how he kept his club in Game 2 of the NLCS, a rookie against the Mets at Shea Stadium. 另一方面，郭在先發的表現上來得比中繼表現要好，Billingsley則較擅長中繼。 Little也記得去年九月郭在大都會主場抗壓性十足投出一場六局無失分的比賽並拿下生涯第一勝。同時國聯分區季後賽在大都會主場，郭初生之犢的表現也十分不錯。 And Little is naturally intrigued with a left-handed pitcher who throws hard and handcuffs right-handed hitters. They can't be found just anywhere. "He's deceptive and tough to hit when he's throwing strikes," said Little. "I'm not looking at the number of games he's won. I'm looking at the number I feel he's going to win." Little對於能夠投出強力球種並壓制右打者的左投不禁十分有興趣。畢竟這種投手十分罕見。『當郭控球準的時候，他的球路十分刁鑽難打』Little言『雖然他過去沒有輝煌戰績，但我對他的未來十分有信心』 This, however, wasn't one of them, even though the Pirates tried very hard to make it so, having three runners erased trying for home, two in a sixth inning that started with home run, double, double and ended with only one run scoring. But the Dodgers' offense did even less against Ian Snell. New third baseman Tony Abreu had three hits, two of them doubles, the one in the second inning scoring Mike Lieberthal for the only run. They had one more big chance, with runners on second and third and one out in the seventh inning, but pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit and Juan Pierre struck out. 可惜今晚郭沒拿下勝投，海盜隊非常積極進攻，造成三位球員在本壘前出局，其中有二位在六局下發生，海盜擊出三支長打卻只靠一發陽春彈攻下一分。但道奇對於海盜投手Ian Snell也一籌莫展。新任三壘手擊出三隻安打包括二隻二壘安打，其中一隻二安在第二局上送回Lieberthal拿下這場比賽唯一的一分。道奇在七局上有大好攻勢，二三壘有人一出局，但代打Betemit和第一棒Pierre相繼被三振。 They also saw shortstop Rafael Furcal reinjure the left ankle that had him on the disabled list the first two weeks of the season. The fact that it turned so easily while he was merely planting to change directions is an indication that it never fully healed and will probably nag at him until he can rest it over the winter. The productive shortstop has a high threshold of pain, but the weakened ankle seems to be a large reason why he's gone from 15 home runs last season to none so far this year. His .364 slugging percentage is well below last year's .445. Furcal remained in the game and said he expected to play Sunday. 游擊手Furcal這場比賽又傷了右腳踝，這舊傷曾使他在季初被送進傷兵名單二周。除非經過長期的療養，他的腳傷可能本季內不會完全復原將一直困擾著他的移動轉向。這場比賽Furcal並未退場，並說他下一場仍會出賽。 Kuo wasn't around anywhere near the end. The first inning started with three soft singles, then he hit Xavier Nady with a pitch and walked Adam LaRoche with the bases loaded, but escaped when Andre Ethier threw out Freddy Sanchez at the plate trying to tag on Ronny Paulino's fly to end the inning. "He wasn't very lucky," said Little. "I'm glad he didn't buy my Powerball tickets today." 郭在比賽前段就先退場了，他在第一局一開始就被擊出三隻鳥安，滿壘時又接連保送二名打者，但因右外野手Ethier精彩的回傳本壘雙殺守備，而幸運度過這局的大危機。Little說『他真好運，他今天應該去買樂透』 With that reprieve, though, Kuo suddenly was pitching like the hard-throwing lefty Little envisioned, but the high pitch count took its toll. When Luis Gonzalez made a desperate running catch of Sanchez's fifth-inning fly into the deepest nook and cranny of PNC Park, Little had seen enough after 94 pitches and 4 2/3 innings. "He's tough to catch," said Lieberthal, spelling catcher Russell Martin, who lined out as a pinch-hitter. "His ball cuts in on right-handers with a lot of movement and they don't get good swings. When he gets ahead in the count, he can be nasty." 度過第一局獲得緩息後，郭突然變身為Little所寄望的那位強力左投，可惜投球數過多。當第五局左外野手Gonzalez奮不顧身接殺一個深遠飛球後，投球數已達94球而被換下場。『他的球不好接』捕手Lieberthal說『他的球切進右打者的內角且很會跑，右打者打不太到，當他球數取得領先時，十分具威脅性』 Brett Tomko finished off the fifth, but started the sixth by serving up a long homer to Nady. He somehow escaped further damage despite back-to-back doubles when the Pirates had a pair erased at the plate, one on a rundown in which Furcal reinjured his ankle, another on a blown squeeze play. Rudy Seanez was electrifying in his two innings of relief with five strikeouts. Tomko第五局中繼上場，但第六局一開始就被Nady擊出一隻大號全壘打。他莫名奇妙少失一分，當海盜隊的接連二壘安打和跑壘失誤造成本壘前出局。Seanez表現則十分精彩，他在最後二局中投出五次三振。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 125.229.32.244
