※ 引述《xiemark (aisinjuro)》之铭言： : Kuo Makes It His Night : With the Dodgers needing a good start, he pitches six shutout innings and gets his first win in a 5-0 victory over the Mets. Lead increases to 11/2 games. : By Steve Henson, Times Staff Writer : September 9, 2006 : NEW YORK — It's a longstanding Taiwanese custom: Successfully stand an egg : on its end at exactly noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and luck : will come your way. 有个流传已久的台湾(?)习俗: 要是可以在端午节中午时分把鸡蛋立起来, 好运就会临 到那位仁兄身上. : The throng of Taiwanese Americans who descended upon Shea Stadium for : Taiwanese Heritage Night watched Dodgers pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo, their : countryman, successfully stand six eggs end to end on the scoreboard in his : first major league start for his first victory. 对今晚群聚在Shea球场参与台湾之夜观赏道奇投手郭泓志投球的台裔美人来说, 这位 他们的同胞成功地在计分板上头立起了六颗蛋, 赢得第一次大联盟先发胜投. : ADVERTISEMENT 广告 : And luck certainly came the Dodgers' way Friday. They got the bounces, the : calls and the ballgame, defeating the New York Mets, 5-0, rebounding : impressively from their one-sided loss a day earlier and increasing their : lead to 1 1/2 games over the San Diego Padres in the National League West. : The Dodgers have been desperately seeking starters, so Kuo's effort vaulted : him into the rotation. Manager Grady Little said the rookie left-hander would : start Thursday at Chicago, enabling Greg Maddux to have an extra day of rest : and start Friday in the opener of a four-game series against the Padres at : Dodger Stadium. 突然间好运在周五晚间来到道奇队身上. 他们成功地以五比零击败了大都会队, 算是 洗刷了昨日被狂灌七分的羞辱, 同时在国家联盟西区拉大与第二名圣地牙哥教士队的 差距到一点五场. 道奇队的先发投手纷纷进入伤兵名单, 郭适时地加入先发轮值. 小 教练表示这位新人左投下次先发会是在周四对上小熊队, 让Greg Maddux在周五对上教 士队的主场四连战开幕赛之前有多一天的休息. : "He earned the right to pitch again," Little said of Kuo. : Using a 95-mph fastball and a devastating slider, he gave up three harmless : singles, struck out seven and benefited from dazzling double plays started by : shortstop Rafael Furcal in the fourth and fifth innings. "他今天的表现让他赢得了下一场先发的机会," 小教练说. 95英里的快速球与犀利的滑球, 他只被击出三只安打, 拿下七次三振. 感谢游击手 Furcal先生在四五两局及时的双杀守备. : "I got ahead of hitters, that was a big thing," said Kuo, who threw 90 : pitches. : The biggest play might have come in the first inning. Kuo has battled control : problems throughout his career, and he walked Jose Reyes to lead off the : inning. Reyes moved to second on Paul Lo Duca's groundout but was thrown out : trying to steal third even though replays indicated he slid under Wilson : Betemit's tag. "我常处於球数领先的状态,这对我帮助很大," 郭表示, 他一共投了九十球. 最重要的一幕出现在一局下, 郭一直有控球方面的困扰. 首先他让Jose Reyes拿到保送 .然後Reyes靠着Lo Duca的牺牲打站上二垒, 不过随即试图盗垒被阻杀在三垒前. 实际 上从重播画面上看得出来那是一个误判. : Carlos Beltran walked and Carlos Delgado ended the inning on a hard line : drive to center field. Given a reprieve, Kuo settled down, retiring the next : seven in a row. Brett Tomko, Jonathan Broxton and Takashi Saito each pitched : an inning to complete the four-hit shutout. 之後Carlos Beltran也被保送, Carlos Delgado击出中外野飞球结束一局下. 之後郭就 回稳连续三振七名打者. Brett Tomko,Jonathan Broxton与斋藤先生各投一局接手中继 结束这场四安打的比赛. : "I relaxed after [catcher] Russell Martin threw out Reyes," Kuo said. "I just : went inning by inning, doing my best." "在捕手Rusell Martin杀掉Reyes之後我轻松很多," 郭表示. "我就尽全力,一局一局 地投." : His early jitters were understandable. He was only the third Taiwanese : pitcher to make a major league start, and Taiwan Heritage Night included two : Taiwanese women singing the national anthem and the first pitch being thrown : out simultaneously by six Taiwanese American politicians. The Mets issued 75 : media credentials to reporters from Asian news outlets. 他在一局下遇到的乱流可以理解. 他是第三位在大联盟登板先发的台湾投手, 台湾之夜 节目, 两位来自台湾的女士所演唱的国歌, 六位台裔美籍政客的开球仪式. 实际上大都 会公关部门一共发出了七十五张采访证给来自亚洲的媒体. : Turns out Kuo had no clue. : "I didn't know anything about it," he said. "I guess I was too focused on : getting ready for the game." 对於这些郭事先完全不知情. "我完全不知道啊,"他表示. "我好像有点太专心在准备 比赛的事情上了." : Kuo is beginning to reach the potential the Dodgers have seen since signing : him for $1.25 million in 1999. He twice had ligament replacement surgeries in : his elbow and pitched only 42 innings in his first five years with the : organization. 郭的表现开始回馈在99年签下他的道奇队. 他动了两次汤米强手术, 刚刚进入球团的 头五年他的投球局数只有42局. : Worried about his fragile arm, the Dodgers used him as a reliever until six : weeks ago, when he moved into the starting rotation at triple-A Las Vegas as : a way to build arm strength. He pitched so well that Little kept him in mind : for a spot start when he was recalled the last week of August. 由於担心他脆弱的手臂, 道奇直到六个星期前都一直把他当成中继投手使用, 那时他被 排进3A Las Vegas队的先发轮值, 期望能够加强他的手臂强度(!). 他对调整适应的不 错成绩也很好. 所以小教练在他八月底升上来之後, 一直有个底可以抓他上来当先发. : Control has been Kuo's problem — he'd walked 31 in 35 1/3 major league : innings coming into the game and was 0-4 this season. But after the first : inning he got ahead of hitters with fastballs and put them away with his : slider. 控球一直都是郭的罩门-35 1/3的大联盟投球记录里头他有31个保送, 同时有四场败投 .但是当他渡过一局下的乱流, 就靠着速球取得球数领先然後靠滑球三振打者. : "He's better as a starter because he can walk one or two and pitch his way : out of it," Furcal said. "As a reliever coming into a tight situation, you : can't afford walks." "他当先发比较优, 先发比较可以经的起保送," Furcal说. "当你扮演上来救火的中继 角色时, 保送就一点帮助也没有." : The early lead helped. The Dodgers scored twice in the first when Furcal and : Kenny Lofton scored on a two-out throwing error by third baseman David : Wright. Furcal and Nomar Garciaparra homered in the fifth, and the last run : came an inning later on doubles by Martin and Lofton. 第一局道奇的攻势也有帮助. Furcal与Kenny Lofton靠着大都会三垒手David Wright的 失误得到了两分. Furcal与Garciaparra在五局都击出全垒打, 第四分在六局上Martin 与Lofton先後击出二垒打之後得到. : That was enough offense for Kuo. The lift he gave the Dodgers was vital, : unexpected and as improbable as standing an egg on its end at noon. : "I had doubts when I was recovering from my injuries," he said. "I came back, : and this is a good feeling." 这样的RS对郭而言就够了. 他给予道奇的帮助就像在正午立起鸡蛋一样的不可思议." 一开始复健时我对自己也产生过怀疑," 他说. "我回来了, 这真的感觉很棒." : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : [email protected] --
