MRI = 2 HRs for DH A-Rod 超好笑的標題 Thursday, September 06, 2007 BY ED PRICE Star-Ledger Staff 重點: MRI照出來的結果是--當指定代打的A-Rod會打兩支全壘打 1. A-Rod照完MRI回到打線, 成為洋基30年以來第一位在單局打出兩支全壘打的球員。 A-Rod說他甚至還沒有接近掌握全部的力量, 現在的他只有掌握六成的狀況, 如果現在還在季初的4或5月他會想休個一天, 但現在每場都很重要。他說對上皇家的第一場比賽他"可能不會"擔任三壘手。(恐怖六成力量就單局打兩支, 那全回來是...) 2. A-Rod打出48支全壘打其中26支在主場打出, 也追平了2005年他自己創下的紀錄。從 1961年Mickey Mantle及Roger Maris以後, 從來沒有任何一位洋基球員打出超過48支全壘打, 這是他生涯511及512轟, 也在生涯全壘打的排行榜超越Mel Ott, 追平Ernie Banks和Eddie Mathews同樣在排行榜排行十七。隊長說, 他打這麼多年都沒看過一局打出兩支全壘打, 這實在很不容易。更不容易的是, 有固定習慣的A-Rod, 因為MRI的檢測打亂了他賽前日常準備的工作, 讓他有點苦惱。 3. A-Rod作了MRI檢測後, 告訴老托說他真的不能當三壘手, 老托叫他試試腳踝看看可不可以當DH。A-Rod在訓練員的陪同下到外野慢跑了約90呎, 回到訓練室, 老托走進來跟他作最後的確認, 要他不可作傻事騙他上去硬拼, A-Rod告訴老托他可給他一些有品質的打數。所以老托又把他放入先發打序當DH。不同以往的是, 原先A-Rod會作些賽前的揮擊, 最後A-Rod只在室內的打擊場打了幾球。他說不想在那裡浪費一些揮擊的力量,果然他真的一點都沒有浪費掉, 神蹟就這麼來了。 4. 大帝Hughes雖然投了無關勝敗, 但老托很讚許, 說他個人的特質這場回來了, 這對他很重要。這場比賽他的速球更有尾勁, 也更有信心攻擊好球帶, 即使球數落後時也是如此。大帝說, 前幾場他有點膽小, 不敢真的攻進好球帶, 這不像他, 不是他投球的風格, 這場比賽以往的膽識都回來了。 NEW YORK -- A-Rod showed that MRI machine a thing or two. A pregame MRI exam yesterday on his sore right ankle knocked Alex Rodriguez out of his routine and almost out of the Yankees lineup. But Rodriguez played. And he became the first Yankee in 30 years to homer twice in one inning. The resultant eight-run rally gave the team a 10-2 defeat of the Seattle Mariners to win a series critical in the AL wild-card race. "It's finding out how we handle challenges," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Tonight was a big challenge for us. The difference between 1-2 (in the series) and 2-1 is huge." The Yankees lead the Mariners by three games, and the Detroit Tigers are 3 1/2 back. Rodriguez said he was "not even" close to full strength. "I would say about 60 (percent)," he said. "I guarantee that if it was April or May, I probably would have taken a day (off), no question. But every game is so important." Rodriguez said he will "probably not" be able to play third base by tomorrow, when the Yankees open a series in Kansas City. The homers, Nos. 511 and 512 of Rodriguez's career, came as the Yankees went from a 2-1 deficit to a 9-2 lead. With 48 homers this season and 26 at home, A-Rod equaled the franchise records for right-handed hitters he set in 2005. No Yankee has hit more than 48 since Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961. Rodriguez also passed Mel Ott on the career list, tying Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews for 17th place. "I haven't seen anything like it in all my years playing," Derek Jeter said. "It's not that easy." It wasn't easy yesterday for Rodriguez, a creature of habit who was annoyed that the MRI exam threw his routine way out of whack. Rodriguez suffered his injury sliding into third on Tuesday, as Seattle third baseman Adrian Beltre fell on Rodriguez's ankle and foot. When Yankees trainers saw Rodriguez favoring the ankle in the clubhouse yesterday afternoon, they checked with team physician Stuart Hershon, who recommended the MRI. "I don't understand," Rodriguez said just before leaving Yankee Stadium at 3:30 p.m. "I thought I was ready to roll." While Rodriguez was gone, the Yankees took him out of the lineup. He returned about 5:45 p.m. and went into Torre's office. Rodriguez told Torre he definitely could not play third base. Torre told him to test the ankle to see if he could be the DH. About an hour before game time, Rodriguez went to the right-field warning track and did three jogs of about 90 feet as trainer Gene Monahan and major-league field coordinator Rob Thomson looked on. Rodriguez went back into the training room, and Torre walked in for a final check, asking Rodriguez if he could play without being tentative. "He wanted to look me in the eyes," Rodriguez said, "and make sure that I wasn't lying to him (or) do something stupid or silly. And I told him I could give him some quality at-bats." So Rodriguez was re-inserted into the cleanup spot as the DH. Instead of his usual bevy of pregame swings, Rodriguez last took just a handful in the indoor batting cage. "I didn't want to waste it down there," he said. He didn't. Jarrod Washburn (9-13) held a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh, but Rodriguez led off with a homer. Of his 48, 20 have tied the game or put the Yankees ahead. Then came an error and a procession of four Seattle relievers who could not stop the bleeding. With Roger Clemens hurt and Mike Mussina in limbo because of his struggles, the Yankees are counting more than ever on 21-year-old Phil Hughes. And although he got no decision, he was sharp last night. "This was more like him," Torre said. "His personality got back here today, and that was important for him." Hughes had allowed five runs in each of his previous three starts. Last night he had more life on his fastball and the confidence to throw it up in the zone, even in hitters' counts. Hughes held the Mariners to two runs on five hits in six innings and struck out six. "The last couple times I was kind of timid, not really attacking the strike zone," Hughes said. "That's not me, that's not the way I pitch. And tonight that really came out." Ed Price can be reached at eprice@starledger.com -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.198.21
