※ 引述《ottokang (猫猫的大玩偶)》之铭言： : NEW YORK -- Hong-Chih Kuo is from Taiwan, but the Dodgers have been treating : him like fine china. 虽然郭董来自台湾, 但是道奇把他看成是上好的瓷器般对待. : They've feared that a left elbow twice reconstructed by Tommy John surgery : couldn't withstand the demands of a starting pitcher, so they had the : 25-year-old relieve all year. For at least one huge emergency start against : the Mets Friday night, he proved his caretakers happily wrong. 道奇很怕经过二次TJ手术的郭董, 无法承受先发投手的负担, 因此这一年都把他定位为救 援投手.但是今天对上大都会这种状况, 证明照顾他的人是过度担心了. : As Dodgers rookies have done all season, Kuo stepped up in a crucial game and : delivered like a veteran. Pitching exclusively from the stretch in his first : career start, he threw six scoreless innings in a 5-0 shutout win that kept : the Dodgers in first place and will keep Kuo in the rotation for at least : another start. 就像道奇其他新手一样, 郭董踏进球场, 期待能像个老手来面对这场残酷的比赛. 在他 第一次先发登板, 他投了六局无失分, 在5-0时退场, 保住了道奇在分区第一名的位置, 也保住他下一轮先发的机会. : Kuo, who won his first career game, received home runs from Rafael Furcal and : Nomar Garciaparra, but needed nothing more than the two gift runs that scored : in the first inning on David Wright's throwing error. : And somewhere out there in retirement land, another star-crossed former : Dodgers pitcher should take some satisfaction in knowing that Kuo might not : have done this without his help. 郭董在他生涯第一次的先发中, 得到了Fucal及Garciaparra全垒打的支持, 大都会的三 垒手Wright也送给他2分大礼. 他同时也得到道奇退休的投手的帮助. : "When I had to have the second operation, I thought about quitting and going : home, but Darren Dreifort told me to keep going," Kuo said, after the waves : of Taiwanese reporters subsided. "He said he was 30 years old and he had two : surgeries, and he was still pitching, and I should keep going, too." : Kuo also credited guidance from Eric Gagne and support from family and : friends for picking him up when he repeatedly felt down. Previous Dodgers : administrations, having invested a $1.25 million signing bonus in Kuo as a : 17-year-old, stuck with him, and the reward came against the toughest lineup : in the league with the Dodgers reeling from four losses in five days. "当我第二次进行手术时, 我想到要离开球场回家了, 但是Dreifort鼓励我继续加油" "他说他已经30了, 也进行过二次手术, 我仍然在投, 你也要继续投!!" 郭董同时也受到来自Gagne, 家人及朋友在他情绪低落时所提供的帮助. 郭董在17时 被以125万签下, 在今天道奇得到回报, 因为在过去五天内他们已输了四场比赛. : "He looked 100 percent different as a starter from a reliever," said Furcal, : whose torrid second half continued with two hits and two runs. "When a rookie : comes out of the bullpen and walks a couple guys, they take him out of the : game. As a starter, he stays in. This is what we were looking for now, : somebody coming up from the Minor Leagues and helping you out." 本场二支安打及二次得分的Furcal说"他在先发与後援之间的表现百分之百不同" "当菜鸟(郭董)从牛棚中出来投出太多保送, 他就被换下去了, 但是先发时, 他留下来了 这是球队一直在找的, 就是希望小联盟能有好手来帮助我们" : Kuo battled butterflies in the first inning when he issued two of his three : walks, but got a major assist when catcher Russell Martin threw out Jose : Reyes trying to steal third base. He sailed after that, not allowing his : first hits until the fifth inning, finishing with three hits allowed and : seven strikeouts in six innings. Kuo used 90 pitches, some reaching 96 mph, : and said he could have gone longer on what was, fittingly, Taiwanese Heritage : Night at Shea Stadium. 郭董第一局还在跟控球奋战, 他投了全场3次保送中的2次, 但是他的帮手Martin帮他捉 到了盗三垒的Reyes. 此後他就一帆风顺了, 到第五局才被打出第一支安打, 六局被打 出三支安打投出了七次三振. 投了90球, 球速可达96 mph. 真是太符合今天晚上是shea 球场的台湾之夜了. : "His fastball is really sneaky, which is why he gets a lot of swings and : misses," said Martin. "His slider was tight tonight. The difference in him : starting and relieving is that he has the time to establish his fastball, and : when the hitters cheat, he can use his off-speed [pitches] more. He has the : stuff to face a lineup two or three times." 捕手Martin说"他的快速球很刁钻, 因此许多了挥空""滑球也很赞, 他先发和後援最大的 差别是他有时间来建立快速球的威力, 当打击者觉得他没力时, 他还可以再加速, 他有 对付对手先发九员二到三次的能力" : Kuo agrees with all of that, and added that as a starting pitcher, he has : sufficient time to loosen up that bionic arm, compared with the : sometimes-hurried warmups required from a reliever. 郭董同意这样的说法, 再加上了一句"当先发投手, 他有足够的时间来放松他肉做的手臂" 这是和後援投手需要快速热身时不同的. : "I feel better warming up as a starter," he said. "I'm more comfortable, but : I do whatever they tell me to." "我觉得当先发比较好热身""我觉得很舒服, 他们告诉我做什麽我就做什麽" : Manager Grady Little said he will tell Kuo he's starting Thursday in Chicago : against the Cubs. He started Friday as a fill-in for the injured Chad : Billingsley, who is expected to return to the rotation next weekend. Kuo : could then emerge as the replacement for Mark Hendrickson, who has been sent : to the bullpen. Little经理说他要告诉郭董下星期二对芝加哥小熊先发. 星期五的先发是顶替受伤的 Billingsley, 他下星期应该要回到先发轮值中. 到时郭董将取代Hendrickson的先发地 位, 而Hendrickson将送入牛棚 : "[Kuo] deserves to have another chance," said Little. "At least one or two : more, and maybe 10 years worth." Little说, 郭董绝对有下一次机会, 至少一或二次, 甚至是10年 : Little was honest explaining why it took the Dodgers five months to figure : out that Kuo should be a starter. Little诚实的解释他接掌道奇队五个月後才了解郭董应该要当先发投手. : "Maybe he's showed where his strongest desires were, but the situation in : Spring Training, after all of the arm problems of the past, we were a little : bit scared to use him for a length of time," Little said. "But he showed he : was healthy at Triple-A starting." "或许他已表现出他强烈的目标, 但是他在春训时的状况, 加上他过往的手臂问题, 我们 对长时间使用他的手臂感到有点担心""但是他在三A的先发显示他是健康的"Little经理 说. : Kuo was demoted to Triple-A twice after unsuccessful bullpen stints with the : Dodgers this year, and was told to start at Las Vegas because added innings : would provide additional opportunity to refine his command. As recently as : two weeks ago, management still considered him a reliever. But the unraveling : of the back end of the Dodgers rotation and Kuo's success starting at Las : Vegas led to Friday night's assignment. 郭董因为在牛棚的表现不佳被下放到三A两次, 然後开始先发, 希望在更长的局数的投球 能帮助他调整. 二个星期前, 经理仍旧考虑把他放在後援. 但是道奇先发轮值的破洞及他 在三A先发的表现得到了星期五晚上的先发机会. : And persistence kept him in the sport after he suffered his elbow injury in : spectacularly tragic fashion. In his professional debut on April 10, 2000, he : struck out seven of the 10 batters he faced, blew out his elbow ligament, : made two more pitches to end the inning, then underwent a first Tommy John : surgery. 手肘受伤的悲剧发生後, 毅力使得他继续留在球场. 在他第一场的职业赛, 2000/4/10, 他三振了所面对的10个打者中的7个, 然後手肘韧带爆炸(断裂), 只再投二球结束这一局 就去进行第一次的TJ手术. : He resumed pitching 14 months later, but problems persisted and he required : the procedure again, forcing him to miss the entire 2003 season. He also : underwent another operation to clear scar tissue from the transplanted : ligament, a common side effect. He pitched in only three games in 2004 and : entered the 2005 season with a total of 40 1/3 innings pitched in five years. 14个月後他又登板, 问题仍然存在, 又再进行手术, 使得他2003年整季报销. 他也进行 过清除移植韧带後产生的癒伤组织的手术, 这是TJ常见的副作用. 2004年他只投了三场, 然後就是2005年, 这五年内他只投了40.1局而已. : Finally healthy, Kuo made up for lost time with a meteoric rise last year : that began at Class A Vero Beach and ended with a September callup to the : Major Leagues from Double-A. This is his third stint with the big-league club : this year. 总算回复健康了, 去年郭董以闪亮的升起弥补了他失去的时间, 从1A开始, 到9月时被从 2A叫上大联盟. 而此时是他今年第三次待在大联盟的时候了. 贺郭董大联盟首胜, 祝福郭董从此一帆风顺. --
