[新聞] Rangers slow down since Hamilton injury
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers scored 60 runs in their first 10 games of the
season. They scored 30 in their next eight. The drop in run production
started with the game that Josh Hamilton broke a bone in his right shoulder,
putting him on the disabled list for 6-8 weeks.
The Rangers were 9-1 going into that game. They were 2-6 in those next eight
games before Friday night's 11-run eruption against Kansas City.
"We'd like to have him but we're also still really deep and really talented,"
infielder Michael Young said before driving in two runs and extending his
hitting streak to 12 games on Friday. "We should be able to pick up the slack
and be fine."
Young proved to be right, at least for one night, as the Rangers showed signs
of returning to their early season form on Friday, blasting a season-high
five homers on their way to an 11-6 victory over the Royals.
Prior to Friday's game, manager Ron Washington said the Rangers' biggest
problem offensively is they have run into a stretch of good opposing pitching.
"Do we miss Hamilton? Yes we do," Washington said. "Do the games stop? No
they don't. The only person who can tell you if the guys are pressing are the
guys out there. But I don't see it. I see us facing good pitching. It's not
going to get any better. We have targets on our backs."
Washington pointed out that Angels pitcher Matt Palmer allowed five runs on
10 hits over 4 2/3 innings in his first start of the season against the Blue
Jays. Against the Rangers he allowed one run on three hits in six innings.
"The last time out [Palmer] got beat, but he got up for the Texas Rangers,"
Washington said. "I don't know if that's the best game he has ever thrown but
he had good stuff. We're going to see good pitching from here on out."
浪子全身上下好像還沒一個地方是完整沒受過傷...這次預計要休養6~8周。
不可否認地,少了他火燙的棒子,
球隊上下整體氣勢衰弱了不少,除了希望傷勢康復、早日回歸之外,
現在堅守在各個位置的大家,你們也要好好保重自己的身體,
特別是Kinsler跟Cruz,尤其擔心你們這對哥倆!
