http://ppt.cc/4TYl 內文討論的是傷兵對據季後賽競爭力球隊的影響，以下只節錄NYY的部分。 . . . The Yankees are imagining Alex Rodriguez hitting home runs again, after his surgically repaired knee and jammed thumb finally mend. . . . A much less visible return to action takes place this weekend, when the Yankees’ Freddy Garcia starts one of the games of a doubleheader against the Orioles. The right-hander has been the least noticeable starter, yet he’s enjoyed a de facto surge since going on the DL after slicing his index finger in a kitchen accident. Garcia, unable to throw his splitter until the gash had healed, suddenly looks like a better alternative than A.J. Burnett, who has a 10.70 ERA in August, and Bartolo Colon, who hasn’t won a game this month and has mysteriously stopped throwing his two-seam fastball. <---------------- ！！！編按：1). 期待A-Rod回來後擊出全壘打是一定的~ 而A-Rod今天也如期開轟~ XD 2). Colon上次先發時，賽後影片旁白就提到Colon已經一個月沒勝投了，這裡文章更提到令人不解的是他不再投二縫線快速球了！！ Garcia is emerging as the No. 4 starter in what’s been a six-man rotation since mid-August — although the Yankees are a long way from deciding whom they’ll use in Games 2 and 3 in the Division Series. Could it be Ivan Nova and Phil Hughes? “No question,” said one Yankee official, which says plenty about the team’s diminishing trust in Burnett and Colon. <----------------- ！！！編按：是哪一個Yankee高層說對AJ和Colon漸失信心的？交代不清楚... 不會是故意放話吧~ :P =========================重點來了~~~討論到Colon消失的二縫線~~================== NEWS ITEM: Bartolo Colon’s two-seamer is MIA. Whatever happened to the freakish, reverse-lateral two-seamer that made Colon so important to the Yankees in the first four months of the season? No one seems to know, but it’s definitely vaporized. Of the 106 pitches Colon threw against the A’s Tuesday night, only two were two-seamers. The right-hander still thinks that sinker is his best pitch, but admits he was shaken by the fact that the Royals hit two HRs off two-seamers last week. The Yankees will nudge Colon away from what’s now an over-reliance on the four-seam fastball, but they’re worried that Colon is finally wearing down. His 131 innings are the most he’s thrown since 2005, and his radar-gun readings are slowly diminishing. Against Oakland, Colon’s average fastball was clocked under 92, prompting one scout to say, “He isn’t throwing hard enough anymore to just keep throwing straight fastballs.” Colon消失的二縫線~ 沒人知道Colon弔詭、走後門軌跡反轉的二縫線為什麼會消失~~ 這球路讓Colon於球季前四個月在NYY舉足輕重~ 但這球路的確就是不見了~~ ─＿─ 星期二對運動家先發那場投了106球，只有兩球是二縫。Colon還是認為伸卡投的最好，也承認自己很訝異上週被皇家打出的那兩支全壘打都是二縫。洋基勸Colon不要像目前一樣過度依賴四縫線快速球，也擔心Colon最終會累垮。目前131局是2005年後Colon投的最多局數。且他球速漸漸下降，對運動家快速球平均低於92哩，有一個球探甚至說：Colon現在無法只投快速直球就把對方打線吃死死的了... ===== 附上文中提到隔壁的部分~ :P The Red Sox, who once thought they had the American League’s best offense, realize how much they need Kevin Youkilis, who’s out until next week with lower-back problems. . . . Then again, the Yankees know they’ll go into the postseason with the AL’s top offense since the All-Star break. Their ability to prevail in any slugfest makes it imperative for Boston to nurture Youkilis, who has the highest OPS among American League third basemen. With the Sox on the road, Youkilis remained behind in Boston to continue his rehab — he’s already received at least one injection to alleviate the pain in his back. Youkilis will miss next week’s three-game series with the Yankees, but the Sox are hopeful he’ll return as soon as he’s eligible to come off the DL on Sept. 2. 概譯：即使曾經一度自認他們擁有美聯最好打線的紅襪也知道他們極度需要Youkilis，他是美聯OPS最高的三壘手。紅襪目前打客場，Youkilis繼續在Boston復健。下周和NYY的系列賽不會出賽，紅襪希望他9月2日從傷兵名單復出。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.113.65.59 ※ 編輯: laperous 來自: 59.113.65.59 (08/27 16:34) ※ 編輯: laperous 來自: 59.113.65.59 (08/27 16:39)
