Hi everyone. I just got back from dinner. We went to a Korean barbeque place in Scottsdale; it was really good. 大家好, 我剛吃完晚餐回來, 今晚我們在 Scottsdale 吃韓國烤肉, 很棒的晚餐． Last week, I played in the Rising Stars Showcase. It was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of good players there. I was on the winning team. I don't know what I'm going to do with the $500 we won. Maybe I'll just eat at some nice restaurants. Maybe I'll go get some really good sushi. 我上星期參加明日之星的比賽，很有意思，我遇到很多很棒的球員，我們這隊贏得比賽，我不知道我要怎麼花這五百元的獎金，也許我就去一些很好的餐廳吃吃喝喝，也可能去吃一些很棒的壽司． Like I've said earlier, I really wanted to work on my hitting. I'm hitting the ball hard, but I can't get any hits. I feel I'm hitting the ball well. I'm trying to find a hole, but that's baseball. Sometimes you hit it hard but right at people. I'm trying not to think about it, just hitting the ball hard. 就像我之前說過的，我真的很想提升我的打擊，我擊中球心可是卻打不出安打，我覺得我打的還不錯，嘗試找個洞穿過去，但是這就是棒球，有時候你打中球心，但是就正在防守球員面前，我試著不想這麼多，就努力用力強力擊中球吧！ One thing I really wanted to work on was hitting breaking balls, and that's been going well. My timing is better trying to hit the breaking ball. I've seen some good sliders and two-seamers here. 我真的想努力的是對於變化球的打擊，這部份發展的很好，我打變化球的時間點抓的比較好一些了，這兒有很多很好的滑球和二縫線速球可以打 (註：下次找小王練功喔！不過，別當小王徒弟，只有滾滾滾啊！) I can't really say which pitchers have been the toughest because they switch so much. Every guy is pitching one inning, so it's hard to know who the pitchers are. We have to learn fast how a pitcher is pitching. Each time, there's a new guy we have to figure it out fast. 我無法真的說那個投手最難打，因為投手換的很快，每個投手只投過一局，所以，很難清楚知道誰是誰，當每次有新投手上場，我們要很快適應投手，很快找出方法打他的球． I've liked watching the other shortstops here in Arizona. Brendan Ryan is very good. I played against him in the Florida State League last year. He can hit, too. Troy Tulowitzki, he's a big guy. He's got a very good arm. He's got good power at the plate. On my team, Matt Tolbert's got pretty good hands and he's a really good hitter, too. I try to learn things from him. I hope he can learn something from me, too. 我在這兒喜歡觀察其他的游擊手，Brendan Ryan 是很棒的一個，去年，我在 FSL 的比賽有遇過他，他的打擊也不錯，Troy Tulowitzki 是個大傢伙，他有強肩，在打擊時有強的力量，在現在的球隊中，Matt Tolbert 有非常好的手臂，他也是很棒的打擊者，我試著從他身上學習，希望他也從我身上學習到什麼． Playing for Mesa, I've played with Eric Patterson as my double-play combination a lot. He's very good, but it hasn't always been easy. I've played with Tony Abreu in the Dodgers system the last four years, so with Eric, he's a new guy. It's hard to get to know each other on the field sometimes. So the timing was a little weird, but we're getting better. 在 Mesa 的比賽中，我常和 Eric Patterson 搭檔成為雙殺大神，他很棒，但是，新搭檔總不是件容易的事，過去四年，我和 Tony Abreu 在躲人系統中合作，Eric 是剛合作，所以，有時候在場上很難能了解對方，在補位的配合是有點怪，但是我們越來越有默契． I have to admit, I am starting to get tired. I've never played this many games in one year. With the World Baseball Classic, training for that, Spring Training, playing for Jacksonville, the playoffs and then coming here, I must be way over 160 games. I'm not going to get much rest once the Fall League is over. The Asian Games are coming up in December and I'm going to play for Taiwan then. 我必需承認，我開始覺得累了，我從來沒在一年比那麼多比賽，從 WBC 的訓練，比賽，參加 Jacksonville 的春訓，季後賽，到現在的 AFL，我參加了超過一百六十場的比賽，在秋聯比賽之後，我沒有太多的休息時間，接著在十二月要代表台灣參加亞運．(註：可以別去嗎？ XD) Let me answer some of your emails now. 又到了回信的時間囉！ To you, a player who is only one step away from the Majors, what is the No. 1 problem or obstacle in terms of getting yourself into the Majors? Is it still a technical thing or more a mental thing? --Sue, Taiwan 對你一個只差一步就能站上大聯盟的球員來說，在你前往大聯盟的路上，什麼是最麻煩或是阻礙呢？是技術層面還是心理面呢？ -- Suc, 台灣 The main thing is hitting, but you need to get better at everything to play in the big leagues. You need to run, you need good hitting and you need the defense, too. I need to work on everything. I'm not a power hitter, but I want to hit for a good average. Maybe I'll hit in the second-hole, so I need to be good at bunting and moving runners over. That's my job, so I want to be good at it. 最主要的是打擊，但是，要進入大聯盟你在每個方面都要更好，你要跑得快，你要打的好，你要防守好，我要在每個方面都努力，我不是強力打者，但我想要能打出平均水準，將來，我也許會定位在第二棒，所以，我要有好的短打能力，推進跑者的能力，這是我的工作，所以，我想在這部份有很好的表現． Do you have any funny or embarrassing things in America? Since English is not our native language, we might have many funny things in our American life. --Dean 在美國生活有發生什麼好笑或是丟臉的事嗎？因為英文不是我們的母語，我們在美國的生活常常會因此發生笑話．-- Dean (註：嘻嘻，又是我！) I do have one funny story. About two years ago, I was playing in Columbus. My hitting coach asked me if every Chinese guy knew kung fu. He heard every Chinese guy knew kung fu. I said, "Yeah." At first, he believed me. My hitting coach was black, so I said to him, "Yes, every Chinese guy knows kung fu, just like every black man knows how to rap." I tried to make a joke. Everybody laughed. 我有個好笑的故事，兩年前，我在 Columbus 打球，我的打擊教練問我是不是每個華人都會功夫，他聽說每個華人都會功夫，我一開始回答他：是的，他也相信我，我的打擊教練是個黑人，所以，我接著說：是的，每個華人都會功夫，就像每個黑人都會 rap 一樣，我試著說個笑話，每個人都大笑． Source: http://0rz.tw/d224L -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 71.34.161.38
