http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=1019729 Approach fails Dice-K By Rob Bradford Wednesday, August 29, 2007 - Updated: 10:49 AM EST NEW YORK - Even a familiar face couldn’t produce familiar results. Tiger Woods, sitting in the second row behind home plate, probably recognized the face, athleticism and competitive nature of his former pro-am golfing partner, Red Sox [team stats] pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. 紐約訊 -- 同樣的表情，卻可能有不同的結局。坐在本壘後方座位第二排的 Tiger Woods 可能從他的前半職業高爾夫球友紅襪投手松坂大輔的表情中，讀出了他所熟悉的對運動的熱愛和戰鬥精神。 What Woods, and anyone who has spent this decade watching Matsuzaka, aren’t familiar with are the results. Matsuzaka is used to success. For the fourth straight start, he failed to find it. 讓 Woods 和任何在這十年來持續看著松坂大輔投球的人們看不慣的是比賽的結局。以往，松坂贏好像是裡所當然。但已經有連續四場比賽，他找不到勝投。 After surrendering a two-run, seventh inning home run to Johnny Damon, Matsuzaka paved the way for a 5-3 Yankees win over the Red Sox. It also marked the 24th day in a row the rookie failed to move from 13 wins to 14. 在第七局被 Johnny Damon 打出兩分全壘打後，松坂也輸掉了這場比賽。洋基以 5-3 擊敗紅襪。這也是這名新人卡在第 13 勝，就是拿不下第 14 勝的第 24 天。 “All the responsibility for our recent losses,” said Matsuzaka after his 27th start of the season (one more than last year), “ belongs to me.” 「最近的敗投，都是我自己的責任，」松坂在他的第 27 次出賽後說。這已經比他去年多了一場比賽。 Yet it wasn’t only Matsuzaka’s inability to come out on the winning side in what he admitted was one of his season’s most anticipated games. It was also the image he portrayed along the way. 然而，[這場輸球]意味的不僅是他無法在這場他也承認是本球季最重要之一的比賽中搶到勝利。[他失去的]還有他一直給人的印象。 In the ultimate Red Sox litmus test - a game against the Yankees in the heart of a pennant race - the professed big-game pitcher didn’t win the big game. In fact, Matsuzaka is the only Sox starter who has failed to come out on the victorious end on what is now a 6-2 road trip. 在紅襪球員必經的的終極石蕊試紙測試 --- 在戰況激烈的情況下跟洋基對打中，松坂這個大家所認為的「大比賽投手」卻沒能贏這場大比賽。事實上，在紅襪這次 6 勝 2 敗的客場之旅中，松坂是唯一沒能贏球的先發投手。 “I felt the way I usually feel,” said Matsuzaka, downplaying any anxiousness about facing the Yankees for the first time since April 27. Fifty-one of his 110 pitches were fastballs, a number down from the outing before against the Devil Rays. And the heaters touched 93 mph five times, but never got any higher. This after charging through April with a fastball that sat in the mid-90s. 「我的感覺和平常一樣，」松坂這麼說，毫不露出從四月 27 日後第一次面對洋基可能有的焦慮。他投的 110 球中，有 51 顆速球，比起他面對魔鬼魚之前的比賽來得少。測速槍有五次顯示 93 mph, 但這就是最高了。在四月時，他還能一直投出 mid-90 的速球。 He managed just two strikeouts, a far cry from the seven he put up in each of his previous two outings against the Yankees. It was an approach, according to Matsuzaka, that was put in place to limit a pitch count that had been a source of frustration since the end of July. 他只投出兩次三振，和前兩次面對洋基都投出七次比較之下明顯地減少。據松坂所說，這是為了降低用球數所採取的投球策略之故。自從七月底後，他就因高用球數所苦。 “I did sort of abandon the strikeout,” he said, “and try to keep my pitch count low, and go deep in the game.” No matter the approach, Matsuzaka comes away with a 6.91 ERA vs. the Yankees, and the memory of being unable to get a 90 mph fastball to the right spot against Damon. 「我確實有點不求三振，而想要壓低用球數，希望多投幾局。」松坂說。然而，採用新策略的松坂以對洋基 6.91 的高 ERA ，和與 Damon 對決時無法精準投出 90 mph 速球的慘痛回憶收場。 “A strikeout-flyball pitcher (like Matsuzaka), you don’t want to force too much contact,” said catcher Jason Varitek [stats]. “ But you want to be aggressive, and he was aggressive.” 「（像松坂這種）三振-高飛球形態的投手，無法強求對手都能打到你的球，」捕手 Jason Varitek 說，「但你必須積極點，而[松坂]確實很積極。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.192.157.71
