初次翻譯有錯誤請多包涵也請高手們指正!~謝謝 :) ※ 引述《mohicans (Last Of The Mohicans)》之銘言： : Four Surgeries Later, Hong-Chih Kuo Dominating for Dodgers : 7/02/2010 12:00 PM ET By Jeff Fletcher : Hong-Chih Kuo has not allowed a hit to a left-handed batter all season. Zero. : Right-handers haven't fared much better, hitting .175. The numbers say that : the Dodgers' lefty should be an All-Star, but it's no secret that pitchers : who neither start nor finish games have the odds stacked against them when it : comes to All-Star appearances. 自從小小郭搬去火星住後地球上的左打者就沒從他手中打過安打而右打者面對他也只有沒好到哪去的.175打擊率但是天知地知你知我知獨眼龍也知道小小郭的成績絕對有明星賽資格可惜他的定位要在明星賽露臉還真的有點難 : That's OK with Kuo. He's been bucking the odds for years. : Kuo's mere presence in the Dodgers bullpen is a daily reminder about how : precious -- and precarious -- a big league career is. 由於小小郭這幾年努力奮鬥對抗傷勢的困擾所以每天平安的出現對於躲人的牛棚來說是如此珍貴可是也存在著不穩定性 : "We call him, affectionately, The Cockroach, because you just can't kill : him," Dodgers trainer Stan Conte told FanHouse. "The medical people here : understand what he goes through every night. It's a really good story." : Yet, it's a story that hasn't made its way too far from Dodger Stadium. : That's partly because Kuo, a native of Taiwan, speaks limited, although : serviceable English, and partly because, to be blunt, he's just a setup man. : Still, it's a story -- one involving four elbow surgeries and a mysterious : case of Steve Blass Disease -- that you ought to hear. It's a story that : Phillies manager Charlie Manuel ought to hear before he makes his final : selections for the All-Star team. 躲人的防護員Stan Conte說''我們叫他小強因為他打不死'' ''不是每個人都能忍受受傷後那空虛寂寞覺得冷的夜晚'' ''其實他背後有著精彩的傳奇故事'' 這位從台灣來的台灣人講著一口流利的英文雖然經歷過四次大手術卻有著鬼神般的成績但就只因為他是個setup man 作者認為費城人的經理 CharlieDisease 在決定明星賽最終的人選前應該先聽聽他的故事 : "He epitomizes the ultimate player," Conte said, when asked to make a sales : pitch on behalf of Kuo. "Every player gets hurt. Every player has slumps and : every player gets down. He quietly got himself back up and got back out : there, and so often we don't see that. Whether it's an injury or a slump, how : you handle adversity makes you what you are. And he's handled it better than : anybody I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot, because I've seen a lot of : stuff." Conte說'' 每個球員都會經歷受傷走下坡或是低潮'' ''他對這處理的很好不是每個人都能像他一樣沉穩的接受然後努力的再站起來'' ''我從未看過像他這樣的球員從他身上我看到很多很棒的特質''(羞) : Kuo, 28, was just shy of his 18th birthday when the Dodgers' Asian scouting : department signed him in June 1999. He came to the U.S. and started pitching : in the California League in 2000. He lasted just three innings before blowing : out his elbow, which led to the ligament replacement procedure commonly known : as Tommy John surgery. : Or, for Kuo, Tommy John surgery No. 1. : He pitched briefly in 2001, but hadn't recovered fully from the surgery so he : had to have another Tommy John surgery in 2003. He pitched three games in : 2004 and then finally got in a full season in '05, reaching the big leagues : after pitching fewer than 100 combined innings in the minor leagues. He'd : spent more time rehabbing than pitching. : Kuo would have two more elbow surgeries, and a rotator cuff injury, over the : next few years. Conte, who joined the Dodgers after the 2006 season, said : when he met Kuo he was a mess of physical problems and self-doubt. 這段開始講他小郭從他進大聯盟的歷程及傷痛史 (何時進大檸檬動手術之類相信版友們都很清楚不再贅述~) : "The pain in his elbow was constant throughout the years," Conte said. "He : was physically and mentally drained from always trying and always having it : hurt. There were plenty of times that he thought about quitting, and he had : good justification for quitting. Several times he said, like many players, : 'Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm done.' Conte說''手肘的疼痛可是會持續個整年對於精神與身體上是種很大的折磨'' ''而你要想盡辦法去忍住或是忘掉疼痛才能繼續投下去'' ''其實有好幾次小小郭可以就像許多球員一樣有正當的理由告訴自己'' ''也許就這樣吧! 棒球生涯結束了~'' : "We kept saying 'one more day,' and we've been saying it for three years." : As if all that was not enough, last year added a psychological problem to all : his physical ones. Kuo was rehabbing from yet another stint on the DL in May : when he was throwing in the bullpen, beyond the left field fence at Dodger : Stadium. Balls suddenly started flying from the bullpen onto the field. Kuo : had lost all control of his pitches. : The problem continued when he was rehabbing at the Dodgers' training complex : in Arizona. Kuo threw an errant pitch that hit a trainer ... who was walking : on another field. ''我們不斷的要他跟自己說再多撐一天就好'' ''就這樣一撐竟撐了三年'' 而在復建最後一年還多出現了心理上的問題小小郭投的球突然開始完全失控復健期間甚至曾經失投砸到正在旁邊走路的trainer (翻到這邊發現幹!~有洋蔥) : Pitchers throughout the years have had similar mental blocks that affected : their ability to throw strikes. Steve Blass, a successful Pirates pitcher in : the early '70s, is the most infamous victim, which is why a sudden, : inexplicable, loss of control is sometimes referred to as Steve Blass : Disease. Mark Wohlers and Rick Ankiel also had successful pitching careers : ended because of it. 這問題其實曾經有過類似的案例像早期過去一些有名的大投手 SteveBlass MarkWohlers RickAnkiel等都因為這毛病而終止了他們的職業生涯 : Dodgers veteran catcher Brad Ausmus told the Los Angeles Times that he : figured that was the end of Kuo's career. : Kuo ended up seeing two sports psychologists to try to solve the problem. : Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said he thinks it wasn't mental, but was just a : manifestation of the physical problems. : "When you are dealing with the elbow, there are so many nerves that come : through there, it ends up so you can't feel the ball properly, and that ends : up affecting some other things," he said. 躲人的老捕手BradAusmus還告訴''Los Angeles Times''搞不好Kuo職業生涯可能結束了那時小郭還再接受兩位心理醫生的治療試圖解決這問題而投手教練 Honeycutt 卻認為那不是心裡層面的問題而只是身體自我防衛的反應 ''當你在處理手傷的時候你會很在乎手肘所以當你投球時下意識的保護手肘反而失去球感進而影響到整體'' : The watershed moment in Kuo's recovery cam last August. Chad Billingsley had : to leave a game with an injury, so Kuo was summoned to the mound. He had to : warm up in front of 50,000 people. Manager Joe Torre admitted later that he : feared he'd made a mistake. A couple throws to the backstop and Kuo might : have been finished. : But it was OK. Kuo got through that and he ended up finishing the season and : a key member of the Dodger bullpen. 小小郭在去年八月復出取代受傷的Chad Billingsley 再度在五萬名觀眾面前暖身準備投球托瑞事後承認其實他也很擔心小郭復出後不復以往但結果證明小小郭仍有能力掌控比賽順利完成了剩下的賽季並成為牛棚中重要的一員 : This year Kuo had more elbow issues in spring training, and he started the : season on the disabled list. Since returning to action in April, he's been : healthy and has pitched better than anyone else in the Dodger bullpen. He has : a 1.11 ERA. His performance has been particularly important to the Dodgers : because lefty George Sherrill has struggled. 今年春訓時小郭的手肘傷勢再度困擾他讓他開季就進入傷兵名單但當他在度健康回來時仍然繳出了傲人的成績(ERA1.11) 特別是當另一位左投George Sherrill爆炸之後更顯得他的重要性 : It still takes Kuo about six or seven hours' worth of treatment and exercise : to get himself ready to pitch each night. The Dodgers also won't pitch him : back-to-back days. After four surgeries, Kuo's arm might as well be held : together by staples and bubble gum. When GM Ned Colletti asks Conte about : Kuo's prognosis, Conte always says: "He's one pitch away. I don't know when : that pitch is." 因為四次手術的關西躲人不會讓他天天出賽而且他每天必須花6到7個小時來照顧他的手肘才能做好出賽的準備當躲人GM NedColletti 問Conte預測小小郭能投到哪時 Conte說''此子乃萬中選一的高手深不可測我只知道他可以一直投下去但我也不知道他能投到何時'' (這邊翻的可能不夠精確請見諒!可以見下面熱心版友推文補充~) : When Kuo had doubts he could come back from the latest injury, Conte told : him: "I didn't think you were going to come back in '08. I didn't think you : were going to come back in '09. And here we are in 2010. We'll probably be : here in five years saying 'Is this the last time?'" : Kuo's mantra, anytime he's asked about his health is, "I just try to get : ready every day." 今年小小郭受傷時他懷疑是否能再回去投球 Conte說 '' 嘿你記得08年我說我不認為你會再回來傷兵名單了然後你回去投球了結果09年你又回來了而我也說了一樣的話今年已經是2010年了同樣情況再次發生我們大概已經說了這樣的咒語有五年了這次可以是最後一次了嗎?'' 至於每次問到小小郭的健康他也只是回答 ''我只是試著準備好每一天'' : He admitted that he considered quitting many times, but eventually kept : coming back because "a lot of people don't get the opportunity to do this, : and I have the opportunity, so I'm going to keep going." : Predictably, Kuo also shrugs off questions about the All-Star Game. : "I don't worry about that," he said. 小小郭承認其實他也有好幾次想放棄不打球了但是他最後還是選擇撐下去因為他認為''不是人人都可以有這種機會'' 當問到有關入選明星賽的問題他也只淡淡的回答 '' 我不擔心那個'' : He's been around long enough to know that middle relievers rarely show up in : All-Star Games. He's also got to compete with Arthur Rhodes, a veteran lefty : who also has a compelling All-Star story. 他跟另外一個怪物ArthuRhodes是今年選明星賽常被提出來比較的中繼投手 : Honeycutt said he'd stump for Rhodes to be on the team, not only because he : believes middle relievers have been underrepresented in the All-Star Game, : but also because it would be a nice reward for all that Kuo has endured. : "He has great ability," Honeycutt said. "It's a shame he's had the stuff he's : had in the past, but this guy is a battler. He's been through a lot." Honeycutt 說小小郭跟Rhodes 都應該被選進明星隊而不該因為中繼投手的身分被忽略尤其是小小郭他背後經歷過的故事這位為理想而奮鬥的勇者絕對有資格贏得這項榮耀 : http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/07/02/four-surgeries-later-hong-chih-kuo : -dominating-for-dodgers/ : http://is.gd/ddlYs -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.100.81.129 ※ 編輯: skyline0514 來自: 59.100.81.129 (07/03 14:47)
