※ 引述《mohicans (Last Of The Mohicans)》之铭言： : Hong-Chih Kuo closes but will it last? 郭泓志上场关门，但这能持续多久? : Reliever steps up to preserve a 2-1 win, but it's uncertain how often Torre : will use him 中继投手升级为终结者，并保住2-1的胜利。但是不知道Torre会多常派他上场。 : By Tony Jackson : ESPNLosAngeles.com : Updated: August 15, 2010, 3:06 AM ET : ATLANTA -- In his first appearance as the Los Angeles Dodgers' primary : closer, a role that allegedly is his only temporarily, Hong-Chih Kuo looked : good in the box score, retiring all three of the Atlanta Braves batters he : faced and striking out two of them to preserve a 2-1 Dodgers victory before a : sellout crowd of 49,267 on Saturday night at Turner Field. 郭泓志如传言暂时担任了终结者一职，在计分板上第一次的表现看来不错。他让三位 勇士队的打者直接返回休息室：三振两个，飞球出局一个，在全满的Turner球场 为道奇保下了胜利。 : Although Kuo needed 20 pitches to do it, starting all three batters off with : balls and going to a full count on each of his strikeout victims, Dodgers : manager Joe Torre said he looked pretty good from the dugout. : "He is going to throw a lot of strikes, and he is going to challenge you," : Torre said. "When he throws balls, sometimes he is overthrowing a little bit. : He comes at you. To me, and I think we knew this a couple of years ago, this : guy has the mentality of a closer." 虽然郭用了20球才完成任务，虽然他第一球都是坏球，虽然他对三振受害者都投到满球数 ，Torre在休息室里表达郭的表现很棒。"他会正面挑战你，投出好球让你打不到。他投 坏球时，通常是因为准心有点偏。他是来和你对决的。就我来说，我这些年来都认为 郭泓志是块终结者的料。" : So the obvious question is, why doesn't Torre name Kuo the permanent guy, at : least for the rest of this possibly still-salvageable season? : The most obvious answer is that Kuo, because of his history of arm problems : and arm surgeries, theoretically can't be used on consecutive days, except in : extremely rare circumstances. One of those came up earlier this week in : Philadelphia, when Torre used him for a full inning Wednesday, then brought : him back for one batter Thursday. A full-time closer needs to be available on : an everyday basis and only unavailable on those occasions when he has been : used three or four days in a row. 现在明显的问题是，为什麽Torre不让郭变身成天天郭来参加"抢救道奇季後赛门票 大队"呢?明显地，答案就是郭泓志的伤病史。动过四次手术的手臂，理论上是禁不起 连续出赛的。除非在极端少数的特例，郭是不会持续出赛的。本季第一例是八月七、八号 。Torre让郭泓志第一天投满一局，第二天只让他收拾一个人。但是称职的终结者是要 每天都能出赛，一连用了三四天後再休息。 : Another answer is that Torre is holding the job in reserve for Jonathan : Broxton, assuming the right-hander can get himself together enough to reclaim : it. 另一个答案是Torre仍在等待Broxton恢复身手，拿回这原属於他的角色。 : The first issue, the one about Kuo having to be handled with kid gloves, is : apparently one that doesn't sit well with the pitcher himself. Torre says he : believes Kuo would like for him to loosen the reins a bit. 先讨论第一个答案。郭面对他的问题时，他难以接受他现在的状况。Torre说郭泓志希望 他能松绑些。 : "He has been [pushing for that] all year long," Torre said. "He talks behind : my back all the time. He doesn't come to me. He has been champing at the bit : to get the ball more often, but just knowing his history and the stuff he : went through last year (missing three months with an elbow strain), I think : we really have to take precautions." "他整年都提过这个想法。他在我後面说想多投些球，但从不直接和我说。他吱吱喳喳 地说想多上场，但看过他伤病史的人(去年也因手肘问题休三个月)都会知道该预防这 些问题。" : And to whom does Kuo express these thoughts, if not to Torre. : "Anybody who will listen to him," Torre said. : Kuo, at least when talking to reporters, denies he wants more action than : Torre is willing to give him. : "I don't care about that," he said. "Every day, I just come here and try to : stay healthy and get ready to pitch." 如果不是向Torre说，那是对谁说呢? "任何愿意听他说的人。"Torre说道。 至於郭泓志，至少他对记者表示，他没有向Torre要求更多的出赛时间。 "我对这些都不在意，我每天就是保持健康和准备上场。" : After the game, Torre didn't completely rule out using Kuo in that role again : Sunday. But Torre was probably simply paying lip service to that possibility, : because he qualified his statement by saying he probably will use Octavio : Dotel if a save situation comes up. After all, although Dotel faced four : batters in the seventh and eighth innings, retiring them all, he threw five : fewer pitches than Kuo did. 赛後Torre说并没排除让郭连续出赛的可能。不过也许只是嘴上说说而已，毕竟他已经 坚定表示在需要救援时会让Dotel出赛。毕竟，虽然Dotel投了四人次，但是只用了十五球 。 : The second issue, the one about the job still ultimately belonging to : Broxton, well, Kuo seems to be in perfect agreement with that. : "It's just a couple of games, and then Brox will be back," he said, although : in fact, Broxton's relegation to middle-relief status is expected to last a : little longer than that. 现在谈谈Broxton，该属於他的终结者工作。郭泓志坚信这个说法。"这只是几场比赛， Brox会回来的啦!"事实上，Broxton已被调降为中继投手，而且会持续一段时间。 : But it certainly seems like a fair question to ask, why Torre won't simply : stick with Kuo. 现在再来问一个问题：Torre为什麽不让郭泓志代在常驻终结者的位置上? : Especially given that Broxton has blown three of his five save chances since : the All-Star break. Especially given that Kuo now has converted four of his : five save chances -- his only blown save came in the seventh inning against : the Braves on June 4, when he gave up a two-run, game-tying double to the : first batter he faced, Yunel Escobar, in a game Kuo never would have been : allowed to finish regardless of how he pitched. 尤其是Broxton在明星赛後已经搞砸三场比赛了。而且郭泓志在五次救援机会中只 失败一次。那是在六月四号对勇士的比赛中，他被Yunel Escobar打了两分打点的安打 ，变成4：4。 不管怎样，他还是没让分数在他手中落後。 : And especially given Kuo has been so dominating since the All-Star break, the : same period of time in which Broxton has struggled so mightily. : During that stretch, Kuo has posted a 0.66 ERA (one run, 13 2/3 innings) in : 12 appearances, while Broxton has posted a 9.00 ERA in nine appearances. : Maybe, just maybe, it isn't so cut and dried after all. 更不要提郭泓志自明星赛後的控制力了。Broxton为他的表现挣扎时，郭泓志出场12次 ，13又二分之三局中只掉一分，0.66的自责分率。看看Broxton这最近九次出赛的ERA 是9.00。也许，现在应该来些改变了。 : "To me, when Brox gets more comfortable, I still think we have to do : situations," Torre said. "[Despite] the fact that Chih really can't go out : there as often as a normal closer, it gives us another option, no question : about it." Torre说："当Brox回复身手时，我们当然会回到原有的轮值表。但就现在而言， 虽然Chih不能当天天郭，他还是给了我另一个选择。" : Don't forget, Kuo's medical history notwithstanding, it is only Torre's : discretion that is preventing him from pitching more often. But if the : Dodgers (60-57) can climb back into either of two races -- the National : League West, where they now sit in fourth place and nine games behind the : division-leading San Diego Padres, or the wild card, where they are in fifth : place and 6 1/2 behind the San Francisco Giants -- Torre probably is going to : go on a given night with whoever he believes gives the Dodgers their best : chance of closing out a tight game. 不要忘了，Torre有考量到郭的记录，才不让他投太多。但是道奇队若能回到王座或外 卡的有利位置(目前西区第四，落後教士9场，外卡第五，落後巨人6.5场)，Torre可能就 会推出他所信任的人来结束比赛。 : Unless something changes dramatically over these upcoming, final seven weeks : of the season, that pitcher, most of the time, is going to be Kuo. 除非发生什麽剧烈改变的事，否则接下来的七周，大部分时间的终结者， 会是郭泓志。 : http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/columns/story?id=5465116 -- 新手翻译，请多指教 -- " 上善若水 "--------------老子 --
