※ 引述《yyhong68 (come every now and then)》之铭言： : Nationals' Wang takes another positive step, but where are all the strikeouts? : August 16, 2011 10:25 PM : by Byron Kerr 国民队的小王又往前迈进一步，但是他怎麽投不出三振咧？ : After two starts and 12 runs allowed, there was concern about how far : Nationals' right-hander Chien-Ming Wang needed to go to get back to his : form from 2006 and 2007. 经过两场先发，丢了12分之後，许多人都在想， 国民队的右投手小王究竟还需要多久时间，才能回到2006年与2007年的顶尖身手？ : Then came wins over the Chicago Cubs and Tuesday over the Cincinnati Reds, : where he surrendered four runs in two starts, showing the potential of Wang : in a Nationals uniform. 不过当小王陆续击败芝加哥小熊队与辛辛那提红人队後，他的潜力已经逐渐展现出来了。 在这两场比赛中，小王只让对手得到四分。 : He still has a long ways to go, but to see a positive turn in results, where : he was pitching out of bad spots, even without his best stuff, was certainly : a good sign after such a long layoff. 虽然小王还有很长一段路要走，不过小王已经逐渐摆脱他的缺点， 即使他还没恢复顶尖身手，但是在休息这麽长的时间之後， 这些正面的结果也代表了一个很好的讯号。 : So which is it? Is Wang back or does he have a ways to go? : Tuesday his sinker was not at its best but he did adapt. And he came out of : the blocks slowly, as he has done in three of his first four chances with : the Nationals. 那麽，这个好讯号是什麽呢？ 这代表小王恢复身手了？或者小王还有一段路要走呢？ 小王在星期二的球赛中，并没有将他的伸卡球发挥得淋漓尽致，不过他最後还是克服了困境。 从小王穿着国民队球衣的前四场比赛来看，在近三场球赛中，小王已经逐渐复出了！ : Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty was concerned when the Reds raced out : to a pair of runs off three hits in the first inning. Manager Davey Johnson : reasoned with McCatty that Wang was going to be fine. 当红人队在第一局击出三支安打得到两分时，国民队的投手教练McCatty感到有点忧心。 不过总教练Johnson跟McCatty聊了一下，跟他说小王没问题。 : "McCatty told me he was watching him and said 'he was too strong, too : strong,'" Johnson said. "I said, 'no, he is just getting loose.' He is : getting the ball a little bit up, but sometimes you don't make perfect : pitches." Johnson说：「McCatty告诉我，他边看着小王，边说小王太过用力，用力过猛了。 我跟他说，不对，小王是太放松了。小王只是把球投得有点高，不过没人能够一直投出完美的球呀！」 : Wang said he needed to rely on his other pitches when the sinker was not : going where he wanted it to go. 小王说，当他无法投出到位的伸卡球时，他就必须依赖其他的球种。 : Through his translator, Wang said, "When the sinker is not sinking I try to : find out a solution, maybe mix in the changeup or slider and get both down, : and try to get more batters out." 小王透过翻译说：「当伸卡球没有掉下去时，我试着要找到解决的方法， 也许我会混着投一点变化球或滑球，然後让把球压低，希望能让更多打者出局。」 : Wang got help from his defense, and was able to mix other pitches in to : get guys out. Johnson said Wang found a way to get those outs even with : his patented sinker not doing what he wanted it to do for most of the : night. 小王的投球策略也发挥了效用，他的不同球路让对手纷纷出局。 Johnson说：「虽然小王的专利伸卡球今天晚上没有完全发挥，不过小王也找到让打者出局的方法。」 : "(The Reds) are a pretty good hitting ball club," Johnson said. "He pitched : a heck of a ball game. He got the ball up a little late (in the sixth : inning). I probably (let him go) one hitter too long. He threw a lot of : great pitches. He actually threw more breaking balls tonight. I was really : pleased with his effort." Johnson说：「红人队的打击相当猛烈，不过小王投得更好。虽然小王的球後来有点偏高（第六局时）， 可是那大概是我多让他投了一个人。小王投出很多好球，其实他今天大部分都是投变化球。 我对他的表现感到相当高兴。」 : That is two games in a row where Wang has allowed just three runs in his : first six innings. But Wang continues to have trouble missing bats, shown : by the three total strikeouts in four starts, a span of 21 1/3 innings, : none on Tuesday. 这是小王连续两场让对手在前六局只得到三分。不过小王的三振能力却令人担忧。 小王已经先发了四场，在总共21又1/3局的投球中，小王只投出三次三振。 今天晚上则是一次三振都没有。 : In his first three starts, his swinging strike percentage was just 2.6 : percent, according to fangraphs.com, the lowest percentage of his career. : In the last three seasons he pitched, his swinging strike percentage : hovered around 7.0 percent, still below the league average of 8.6 percent. : Serviceable certainly, but under 3.0 percent makes it difficult to survive : very long in games. 根据fangraphs.com的纪录，在小王先发的前三场比赛中，小王让打者挥空的比率只有2.6％。 这是小王目前的最低纪录。 在过去三个球季里，虽然小王让打者的挥空率约在7％左右，但那仍然低於全联盟的平均（8.6％）。 虽然小王并不需要太多的三振数，但是当这个数据低於3％时，投手就很难在这类球赛中投太久。 : The more telling statistic, though, is the amount of contact opposing : hitters are making on his pitches. The "On-Contact percent", the percentage : of times a batter makes contact with the ball when swinging at pitches : thrown outside the strike zone, is a whopping 96.7 percent in Wang's three : starts this season. 小王比较够力的数据是让对手挥击坏球的比率。在小王本季先发的前三场比赛中，这个比率高达96.7％。 这就是所谓的「挥击率」，也就是当投手投出好球带以外的球时，打者照样出棒挥击到球的比率。 （不太确定这个名词是不是这样翻..请各位指教） : The statistics bore out on Tuesday, when the Reds swung and missed just : twice, during Drew Stubbs' at-bat in the fifth. : The Reds' helped Wang's cause by putting the ball in play on his first : pitch of the at-bat nine times in 6 1/3 innings. : But Wang did allow only four runs on seven hits, with one walk. He threw : just 60 pitches, 39 for strikes. It was his second straight good start and : proved the win at Chicago was no fluke. 这些数据在星期二的比赛中也得到了证实，因为红人队今天只有Drew Stubbs在第五局时挥空两次。 红人队的打者也帮助小王获胜，因为在小王6又1/3局的投球中，红人队打者有九次是第一球就打了。 虽然小王一共被打了七支安打，不过最後只掉了四分，投出一次保送。 小王只投了60球，其中有39球是好球。 这是小王连续第二场不错的先发，也证明他击败小熊队的表现不是昙花一现。 : This was Wang's first win at home since May 2, 2008, with the New York : Yankees in a 5-1 win over Seattle. It marked the first time since June 10 : and 15, 2008, that he won two decisions in a row (at Oakland and at Houston). : So, there is concern certainly for the Wang's overall strikeout and swing : and miss totals. But with his sinker not perfect, Wang found a way to win : somehow, and that is the best sign that he continues to take positive : strides towards returning close to the spectacular form he displayed four : seasons ago. 这是小王在国民队主场所赢得的第一场胜利。 前一场主场胜利，是在2008年5月2日时，当时他率领洋基队以5比1击败水手队。 此外，这次的二连胜，也是小王从2008年6月10日与15日分别击败运动家与太空人之後的第一次。 虽然外界对於小王的三振能力与对手挥空率等表现，还是有所担忧， 不过，在小王无法投出完美的伸卡球时，他还能够找到赢球的方法，那就表示小王已经朝着正确的方向前进， 逐渐恢复他在四个球季前的身手了。 --
