Yankees Can Add Clemens’s Elbow to Recent Woes By TYLER KEPNER Published: September 4, 2007 帥哥Tyler Kepner的文章不錯看重點: 洋基最近的不幸可能還要加上老克的肘 1. Nolan Ryan是歷史上唯一比老克更多三振的球員, Ryan在46歲時投出他最後一球對上西雅圖水手隊, 手肘韌帶的撕裂傷結束了Ryan相當耐久的生涯。45歲的老克不確定性的手肘問題讓他昨天以7比1輸給水手隊。老克離開球場進行MRI的檢查, 老托說老克會錯過一次先發, 也不確定老克能否在下週紅襪的系列賽中出賽。老托說, 一切要等檢查結果才知道, 老克會錯過一次先發, 也希望就只是這樣。 2. Moose從2003美聯冠軍系列賽第七戰為老克中繼以來, 首次以後援出賽, 投了3又2/3 局被打七安丟了兩分, 下一場也將頂替老克先發的位置, 他說: 你可能太理想化的希望洋基可以從七月中直到季末打出七成的勝率, 但我們振作了起來, 現在在外卡領先, 最近四天我們特別是沒有打得很好, 希望再來的比賽可以用更多活力和熱情來比賽。 3. 失掉老克對先發輪值有重大影響, 除了Pettitte和小王在下半季拿下15勝4敗外, 洋基剩下很抖的Moose, 和兩隻菜鳥Hughes和Kennedy. 4. 老克投了很猛的六局打敗紅襪後, 手肘的問題便有點嚴重, 經過醫生的治療後決定不打一針可體松。昨晚Gator和老克討論後確定老克是健康的, 老克決定上場投球。老托說, 老克比任何人都了解自己的身體, 而且就老托的經驗, 一個投手上場投了那麼久, 上到投手丘或多或少帶著一些小傷痛, 尤其老克投了這麼多年了。所以老托真的相信, 老克能應付的事不會是一次神鬼奇航記(uncharted waters)。" 5. 老克的情況就跟去年處理MO手肘的狀況一樣, 去年8月30日手肘問題困擾著Rivera, 但洋基並沒有馬上讓他休息但那天MO解決老虎隊後, 照過MRI後第二天下午又上場, 直到投後覺得肌肉緊繃才休息了三週。 6. 洋基其實事前就有讓Moose頂替老克的準備, 但還是沒讓老克休息看醫生, 而順了老克的意願讓他上場投球。老托說, 這不是什麼不尋常的事, 前三局投球狀況還控制的不錯, 直到第四局老克才覺得手肘的毛病一直影響他。老克的球速並沒有太大的不同, 他有時還投出91, 92miles的速球。無論老克覺得有什麼不舒服, 他都沒有告訴Posada。Posada說老克的手肘除了昨天和對上紅襪那次以外, 一直沒什麼問題。老克對上老虎時則有右腳破皮的問題, 老托賽前說老克右腳的問題困擾老克比較大, 手肘反而不是什麼大警訊。老托說: "告訴大家一些內幕, 年初時老克也有相同的問題, 但老克自己處理好了也回來投球了，我相信他去年在太空人, 還有我猜他先前在洋基隊時, 也都有相同的問題, 但那毛病來了一下又好了。我不是說那是老了退化的現象, 而是老克肌耐力的能力, 假如任何人有疑慮的話, 我們會先用MRI檢測再看情況怎樣。" 7. 但這疑慮現在來了, 洋基只希望MRI的檢測不會宣判老克的生涯就像Ryan一樣就這樣令人惋惜地結束了。 8. 鈴木一朗已經連七季打200支以上的安打, 歷史上唯一有同樣記錄的只有Willie Keeler 和Wade Boggs, 一朗是史上第三人。 By TYLER KEPNER Published: September 4, 2007 Nolan Ryan is the only man in history with more strikeouts than Roger Clemens, another tall Texan who built himself in Ryan’s image. Ryan was 46 when he threw his last pitch, against the Seattle Mariners. A torn elbow ligament ended a career of remarkable durability. Clemens is 45, and his immediate future is uncertain after elbow problems forced him out of the Yankees’ 7-1 loss to the Mariners yesterday in the Bronx. Clemens left Yankee Stadium to have a magnetic resonance imaging test. Manager Joe Torre said he expected Clemens to miss his next start, and it also seemed doubtful that Clemens would return for next week’s series in Boston. “We’ll have to wait and see what the tests show,” Torre said. “But for safety’s sake, you’d probably skip him one time, anyway. Hopefully, that’s all it is.” The Yankees managed only five hits and a run over seven innings against Felix Hernandez, who helped the Mariners snap a nine-game losing streak and cut the Yankees’ lead in the American League wild-card race to one game. Clemens lasted four innings, allowing five runs and eight hits. Mike Mussina followed with the first regular-season relief appearance of his career — he also replaced Clemens in Game 7 of the 2003 A.L. Championship Series — and he will take Clemens’s turn in the rotation. The Yankees have lost three of four games since sweeping Boston at home last week. “We knew we weren’t going to play .700 ball from the middle of July until the end of the season; you’ve got to be realistic,” said Mussina, who gave up two runs and seven hits in three and two-thirds innings. “But we fought our way back, we’re leading the wild card now, and we want to stay after it. The last four days, especially, we haven’t played very well. We’ve been a little flat, it seems like. We’ve got to get our heads on right and play with some energy and some enthusiasm.” Losing Clemens is a significant blow to a wobbly rotation. Besides Chien-Ming Wang and Andy Pettitte, who are a combined 15-4 in the second half, the rotation now includes the struggling Mussina and the rookies Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy. Clemens beat the Red Sox with six strong innings Wednesday, but his elbow became a serious issue during and after that game. Clemens received treatment but decided against having a cortisone shot. Torre said the pitching coach Ron Guidry checked with Clemens yesterday to make sure he was healthy, and Clemens decided to pitch. “Roger certainly knows his body better than anybody else,” Torre said. “ And just from my experience, I don’t think there’s a pitcher who’s been around who doesn’t take some kind of baggage with him to the mound, a guy that’s been around a long time. So I have to really trust him that what he has to deal with is not uncharted waters.” The Clemens situation is similar to the handling of Mariano Rivera’s elbow problem last season. The Yankees knew that Rivera’s elbow was bothering him last Aug. 30 but did not immediately shut him down. Rivera pitched against Detroit that day, had an M.R.I. test the next afternoon and pitched that night, too. Only after that game was Rivera shut down for three weeks with a muscle strain. Yesterday, the Yankees were concerned enough about Clemens to have Mussina ready as an emergency starter. But instead of sending Clemens to a doctor and ordering him to rest, they deferred to Clemens’s wishes and let him pitch. “It’s not something that’s unusual,” Torre said. “The first three innings, it was a manageable situation for him. Then in the fourth inning, he said it started grabbing on him.” Clemens’s velocity was not noticeably different; he hit 90 and 91 miles an hour a few times. Whatever discomfort Clemens felt, he did not share it with catcher Jorge Posada. “No limitations at all,” said Posada, who added, “He didn’t talk one thing about his elbow.” Posada said Clemens’s elbow had not been an issue except yesterday and in the Boston game. The start before that, in Detroit, Clemens struggled with blisters on his right foot. Torre said Sunday that the foot concerned him more and stressed that the elbow problem was not alarming. “Let me tell you something: It’s happened earlier this year, too, the same type of thing, where he’s dealt with it and came back and pitched gems,” Torre said. “I’m sure last year in Houston — and my guess is, before he left here — it’s something that comes and goes. It doesn’t mean it’s debilitating. It’s muscular stuff. If the concern was there for everybody, there would have been an M.R.I. before this.” Now the concern is there, officially, and the Yankees can only hope that the M.R.I. test does not sentence Clemens to the same inglorious end as Nolan Ryan. INSIDE PITCH Ichiro Suzuki surpassed the 200-hit mark for the seventh season in a row. Only Willie Keeler and Wade Boggs have longer streaks. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.198.21
