07/18/2005 http://tinyurl.com/daj8a Nationals find no answers on home turf Rare miscues by Castilla open door for Rockies By Bill Ladson / MLB.com 國民隊在自家草皮上找不到答案 Castilla罕見的失誤為落磯隊打開得分大門 WASHINGTON -- Being that they are in a pennant race, the Nationals are supposed to beat a last-place club like the Rockies. Instead, the Rockies took care of the Nationals, who lost Monday's game, 5-4, in front of 30,165 at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium. The Nationals have now lost nine of their last 12 games and find their lead in the National League East dwindling by the day. 正當他們在競逐季後賽資格的路上，國民隊理當擊潰像落磯隊這種墊底的球隊。但相反的，他們被落磯隊好好地照顧了一番，在RFK球場30,165名觀眾面前，以5比4輸掉了星期一的比賽。國民隊輸掉了最近12場比賽中的九場，而且逐日縮小他們在國聯東區的領先。 For at least two weeks the Nationals' offense has been virtually nonexistent, but on Monday it was their defense that fell apart. Vinny Castilla's error in ninth proved most costly. With the score tied at 4 and closer Chad Cordero one strike away from getting out of the inning, Aaron Miles hit a routine groundball to Castilla at third base. But the ball went under Castilla's glove for an error and allowed Eddy Garabito to score from second base. Castilla has been playing with a bad left knee for most of the season, but he said it did not force him into the error. "I just missed the ball," Castilla said. "That's it. It's surprising because I always make those plays. When something goes bad, it's bad." 在過去二個禮拜裡，國民隊的攻擊差不多是不存在的，但是在星期一的比賽裡，則是他們的防守導致輸球。Vinny Castilla在第九局的失誤最為要命，在4比4平手且Chad Cordero差一個好球結束那個半局的情況下，Aaron Miles打出一個朝向Castilla的平凡滾地球，但球從Castilla的手套下穿過造成失誤，而使Eddy Garabito從二壘回來得分。Castilla大半個球季拖著他那糟糕的左膝上場，但他說這不是造成那個失誤的原因。"我失誤了，"Castilla說，"就是這樣，那的確是很令人意見，因為我一向可以處理那些球。當有些事情變壞，那就是壞的。" The losing pitcher was Cordero, while Jose Acevedo earned the victory and Brian Fuentes picked up his 13th save. 敗戰投手是Cordero，而勝投是Jose Acevedo，Brian Fuentes獲得第13次救援成功。 There were defensive lapses that cost the Nationals earlier in the game, as well. In the fifth inning, Castilla made a throwing error that allowed Dustan Mohr to go to second base. Mohr would later score on a Cory Sullivan triple. The next inning, Cristian Guzman had a shot to get Todd Helton at the plate, but he booted Garrett Atkins' grounder, allowing Helton to score and help the Rockies take a 3-2 lead. "It's the worst game we played all year long," manager Frank Robinson said. "It's unacceptable and it will not be acceptable here. We have been making sloppy plays that cost us runs in ballgames for quite some time, but it came to a head tonight. I'm not going to accept that." 還有一些失常的守備使國民隊在稍早的比賽裡付出代價。第五局，Castilla一個傳球失誤造成Dustan Mohr攻占二壘， Mohr隨後因Cory Sullivan的三壘安打回來得分。下一局， Cristian Guzman有機會在本壘板前抓到Todd Helton，但他沒處理好（booted）Garrett Atdins的滾地球，使Helton的得分帶給落磯隊3比2的領先。"這是一整年來我們打得最差的一場比賽，"總教練Frank Robinson說，"完全無法接受 (It's unacceptable and it will not be acceptable here. 不知道怎麼翻)，我們曾有些懶散的表現造成我們失去一些分數，但今晚已到了嚴重關頭，我無法接受這種表現。" The box score said the Nationals made three errors in the game, but they made many more mistakes on Monday. Guzman appeared to forgot how to bunt. In the second inning, after Brian Schneider led off with a single, Guzman tried to bunt, but he popped it up and the Rockies were able to double off Schneider at first base. Schneider led off again with a single in the eighth inning, but Guzman struck out making a bunt attempt. "They were throwing me a slider, fastball," Guzman said. "What can I say?" When asked how dishearting it was that Guzman couldn't lay down a bunt, Robinson said, "I wish my vocabulary would better describe [those situations]. But it's not, so I'll leave it as it is." 分數表顯示國民隊整場比賽有三次失誤，但他們星期一其實犯了更多錯誤。Guzman好像忘了怎麼觸擊。在第二局，就在Brian Schneider率先擊出安打之後，Guzman試圖觸擊，但他打了一個內野飛球，使得落磯隊得以雙殺Schneider在一壘前。Scheider 在第八局再度率先擊出安打，但Guzman觸擊失敗而被三振。"他們投給我一個滑球、快速球，"Guzman說，"我能說什麼？"當被問到Guzman無法完成觸擊是如何挫折時，Robinson說，"我希望꜊琲漲r彙足以形容這個情形，但其實不能，所以就這樣吧。" Preston Wilson thought he should have caught Sullivan's triple. Wilson was playing shallow center field, but Sullivan caught Wilson off guard by hitting the ball over his head. "He hit pretty decently and it kept carrying. I went back and the ball caught the heel of the glove," Wilson said. Even Jamey Carroll, the man Robinson calls the most fundamentally sound player on the Nationals, made a mistake. With runners on first and second in bottom of the ninth inning, Carroll took Fuentes' first pitch and hit into a double play to end the game, which didn't please Robinson. Carroll is best known for taking a lot of pitches. "It was right there and I hit it on the ground," Carroll said. "I knew he was trying to get ahead in that situation. He came right after me. It was a pretty good pitch. I hit the top of the ball and grounded out." Preston Wilson認為他應該可以接到Sullivan的三壘安打，Wilson 站在外野較淺處，但Sullivan抓到Wilson的這個防守，擊出了越過了他頭頂的安打。「這球打得相當好，我往後退而球擊中了手套下緣」Wilson說。 Even Jamey Carroll，這個被Robinson稱為國民隊中最可靠的選手，發生了一個失誤。九局下半一、二壘有人時，Carroll打了Fuentes 的第一個球，擊出一個雙殺打而結束這場比賽，Robinson當然不會高興，Carroll可是以耐心選球聞名。「我打了一個滾地球，」Carroll 說，「我知道他想贏，那球投得很好，我擊中了球的上緣變成滾地球出局。」 --------------------------------------------------------------- 網路不穩先這樣 --------------------------------------------------------------- Outfielder Jose Guillen is optimistic that the Nationals will have some good fortune soon. "Hopefully, we are going to catch a break, like everything is going to go our way," Guillen said. "Right now, nothing is going our way. That's baseball and you are not always going to have a good time." Nationals starter Tony Armas Jr. didn't get past the third inning, as he left the game because of dizziness and dehydration. Before he left, he gave up a run in the first inning as Eric Byrnes drove in Miles with a single. But the Nationals took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first off starter Byung-Hyun Kim. Wilson drove Jose Vidro home with a blooped double, while Guillen scored on a Ryan Church groundout. After the Rockies made it a 4-2 game, the Nationals found themselves back in it with Rockies reliever Mike DeJean on the mound. With the bases loaded and one out, Church hit a sacrifice fly which sent Vidro home, and Sullivan's throw in center field skipped past Atkins at third base, allowing Guillen to score the tying run. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.31.97
