這大概是今年看到最嚴厲的文章了。哎。大家忍著痛看吧.. :( http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1029244 Dice makes own bad luck Poor pitching to blame for fans’ lack of patience By Steve Buckley Tuesday, September 4, 2007 - Added 14m ago Red Sox fans were encouraged to be patient with Daisuke Matsuzaka, this being the right-hander’s first season in the big leagues. For the most part, the good citizens of Red Sox [team stats] Nation have indeed been patient with the exciting, highly-paid Japanese rookie. That is, until last night. 紅襪球迷們總是聽說，要對松坂大輔有點耐心，這是他在大聯盟的第一個球季。大部分時候，紅襪國的好公民們也確實對這個令人興奮、高薪水的日本新人很有耐心。直到昨天晚上。 Ahh, about last night. The Dice Man strolled out to the Fenway Park [map] mound in the sixth inning of this Labor Day start against the Toronto Blue Jays with a nine-run lead, and with the customary packed house whooping it all up. Before the inning was over, the masses were begging, pleading, with manager Terry Francona to get Matsuzaka out of the game. And Francona was anxious to accommodate them. 哎，關於昨晚。勞動節的先發，Dice Man 六局上登上芬威球場投手丘面對多倫多藍鳥隊的時候，還有著九分的領先，一向滿坐的球場整個開心得不得了。這局還沒結束，觀眾們已經在哀求，希望總教練 Terry Francona 快把松坂換下來。Francona 焦急地回應他們的要求。 Four runs already wereacross for the Blue Jays in the fateful sixth. Pitching coach John Farrell already had paid a visit to the mound to buy some time as reliever Javier Lopez warmed up, and now Francona was looking to catcher Jason Varitek [stats] and using his hand as a gabby puppet, the idea being that ’Tek should go out to the mound and stall for some more time. 致命的第六局，藍鳥隊已經拿下了四分。投手教練 John Farrell 已經上了投手丘，希望為熱身的 Javier Lopez 爭取一些時間。而 Francona 又用手對捕手 Jason Varitek 猛比劃，要他喊暫停到投手丘去講話，以便多拖一點時間。 After home plate umpire Mike Everitt dragged Varitek back to the plate, Mike Lowell got in on the act. The third baseman strolled to the mound to say a few words. 主審 Mike Everitt 把 Veritek 拉回本壘後，換 Mike Lowell 來幫忙。這個三壘手踱步到投手丘，多講幾句話。 By then, Lopez was ready. And finally, mercifully, Francona went out to get Matsuzaka, who was in the process of turning a nine-run lead into a one-run game. 這時候，Lopez 終於熱身完了。終於、慈悲地，Francona 出去把正把九分領先變成一分領先的松坂換下來。 That Lopez was awful in his relief outing is not the point. That the Red Sox outlasted the Blue Jays and emerged with a 13-10 victory that took 3 hours, 59 minutes to complete is not the point. Lopez 的後援亂七八糟不是重點。紅襪最後還是用三小時五十九分的時間以 13-10 擊敗藍鳥隊也不是重點。 No. The point is this: At a time when the Red Sox would very much like Matsuzaka to settle into some kind of looking-to-October consistency, he is instead being wildly inconsistent. There’s no way other way to put this: Matsuzaka has been lousy in three of his past four outings. In those four starts, three of them losses, he has allowed 20 earned runs in 23 2/3innings, which works out to a 7.60 ERA. 重點是，當紅襪非常需要松坂表現出望眼十月的穩定性時，松坂卻異常地不穩。沒有別的話可說，松坂過去四場比賽有三場表現不好。在這四場先發中，三場落敗，他在 23 2/3 局中共被打下 20 分， ERA 7.60. No sense devoting much space here as to Francona’s postgame comments about Matsuzaka. The respected skipper works diligently to see the sunny side of things when talking about his players. 聽 Francona 在賽後對松坂的評論沒有什麼意義。他在談他的隊員時總是會小心地一切往好處講。 (接下來越講越嚴厲了。哎，翻得很不忍。先貼原文吧... ) (翻譯補完) Last night, Francona took things to an absurd level. “I thought early in the inning he really did have good stuff,” said Francona, noting that the inning “got away from him in a hurry. 昨晚，Francona 講好話已經講得有點荒謬了。「我覺得頭幾局他的 stuff 很不錯，」Francona 只說那一局「突然地就這麼跑掉了。」 Speaking of the Blue Jays’ Troy Glaus, Francona said, “Glaus had a great at-bat.” Yes, it was a great at-bat alright. The Toronto third baseman walloped a 3-2 pitch from Matsuzaka for a three-run homer. 說到藍鳥隊的 Troy Glaus, Francona 說：「Glaus 打了一個漂亮的打數。」當然是很漂亮，那是兩好三壞之後的一支三分全壘打！ True, the rigors of the long Major League Baseball season might well be catching up with Matsuzaka. He has now made 28 starts and worked a total of 181 1/3innings, with nearly a month remaining in the season. Last season with the Seibu Lions, he worked a total of 186 1/3innings. 確實，大聯盟的長球季可能已經追上松坂的界限。他已經先發 28 場，工作了 181 1/3 局，而球季還有將近一個月。在西武獅的上個球季，他的工作量是 186 1/3 局。 Is Matsuzaka gassed? Perhaps only he knows the answer to that question. But the bigger question is this: If the guy uses what’s left of the regular season to find his groove, how comfortable do you think the Red Sox [team stats] are going to be sending him out to start a postseason game? 松坂累了嗎？可能只有他自己知道。不過更重要的問題是：如果他把剩下的球季當作調整用，你覺得紅襪能安心把他送出去投季後賽嗎？ Last night’s game had nothing to do with the inning “getting away” from Matsuzaka. And that home run by Glaus was no more a “ great at-bat” than most other at-bats that result in pitches that leave the yard. 昨晚的比賽跟什麼東西從松坂「跑掉」沒有關係。Glaus 的全壘打也不比其他打出去的球來得更特別到哪去。 Some of the media took the bait and asked Matsuzaka about these bad breaks last night, whereupon the pitcher, through an interpreter, said, “Certainly there were a few bad breaks . . .” Stop right there. He gave up seven runs on 10 hits in 5 innings. 有些上鉤的媒體問松坂關於他的失投變化球。他透過翻譯回答：「確實有幾個變化球沒投好...」拜託，那是一局掉七分耶！ Matsuzaka’s luck better change soon, or he’s going to get some really bad breaks come October. 松坂的運氣最好是快點變好。不然到了十月，他就慘了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.20.217 ※ 編輯: noctem 來自: 140.109.20.217 (09/04 13:58)
