快速乱翻 ※ 引述《VaROne (没听到《传奇》)》之铭言： : http://voices.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/2010/06/the_stephen_strasburg_effect_s.html#comments : http://0rz.tw/Jd7Qa : 这好像有点过头，对战球队开始抢沾史宝哥光芒。 : http://0rz.tw/EcH7x : Kerry Wood on Stephen Strasburg: 'It's going to be more intense for him' K. Wood: 接下来才是真正的挑战 : There is probably no one on the planet who understands precisely the mania : Stephen Strasburg is experiencing right now. A few men have an approximate : idea, and one of them will be sitting in the opposing bullpen this weekend at : Progressive Field. 现在很难有人能真正了解小史在这样成功的初登场後是怎样的心 态，但仍然有些人有过类似经验并且愿意分享，其中一位这周的 对战牛棚对手－－K. Wood。 : On April 12,1998, the Chicago Cubs called up 20-year-old Kerry Wood from : Class AAA Iowa. Cubs fans were excited; Wood was the fourth overall pick in : 1995 and, in less than three years, had moved from high school through the : Cubs system. In his first start, Wood lasted 4 1/3 innings and lost. In his : third start, Wood allowed seven earned runs and lost. : In his fifth start, Wood struck out 20 Houston Astros in a one-hit, no-walk : shutout that still stands as perhaps the greatest game ever pitched. His : fastball scraped triple digits, his curveball violated physics and everyone : wanted to know more. Wood, with Manager Jim Riggleman in the dugout, became a : phenomenon. Wood 在 1998/4/12 初登场，虽然最後以 4.1 局 7 自责分败投 收场，但 Wood 在第五场扳回颜面，以 20K、1H、0BB、SHO 惊艳 四座，三位数的快速球和将近突破物理极限的曲球立刻引发一阵 舆论注目。 : "I didn't really have the whole hype until my fifth start, when I struck out : the 20," Wood, now Cleveland's closer, recalled today. "Then it got a little : out of control. We kind of had to control the media. After a couple weeks, it : died down a little bit. We set up a schedule - the day before [a start] was : kind of a day off." 「到了第五次先发我才体会到那种被疯狂包围的喜悦。我丢出20 次三振，我主宰了媒体的视焦，但几周之後，我发现那场先发只 代表着又一天的过去。」 : The hype surrounding Strasburg seemingly escalates by the day. The Cleveland : Indians have already sold more than 8,000 tickets to Sunday's Strasburg : start, and one vendor in the park was selling only Strasburg jerseys. : Riggleman said the attention was "definitely" good for the sport. : "I think players feed off those crowds, feed off the excitement," Riggleman : said. "Quite often, you get a better brand of baseball. It shouldn't be that : way, but it is." 小史热潮在初登场那天益加激昂。印第安人已经卖出 8000 张以上 的门票，甚至有些摊贩只卖小史运动衫。 「棒球选手会因球迷和围绕着他的狂热气氛而感到饱足，这就是棒 球运动感性的一面，虽然不应该如此。」said Riggleman。 : Riggleman said he noticed a similar effect for road games in 1998, when he : managed Wood and the Cubs. Wood handled a severe media crunch as a rookie, : but, 12 years later in a new media age, he knows the spotlight will burn : brighter on Strasburg. Riggleman 想起了当时 Wood 周遭媒体叽叽喳喳的尖锐语言，十二 年过後，类似的情况只有可能更严重。 : "It's going to be more intense, probably, for him," Wood said. "There's more : media outlets now out there than when I came up. There's more Internet access : and all that stuff. So I think he's going to get more of it. From what I : hear, he seems to be pretty levelheaded, a good kid. He should be able to : handle it, go out there and do his job." 「他必会面临更多更严重的状况，幸好我听说他是很冷静明理的人 。好孩子，他得好好的面对这样的问题。」said K. Wood. : Wood has no plans to meet Strasburg, but would talk to him if Strasburg : wanted. "I'm not a real big guy in going over there," Wood said. "If he had a : question, I'd answer it." Wood 没计划找小史谈谈，但如果小史愿意，他会接受的。「在这方 面我不算甚麽大咖或老经验的人，但如果小史真的有问题，我可以聊 聊。」said K. Wood。 : In 1998, Wood became a sidelight to Sammy Sosa's chase with Mark McGwire for : Roger Maris's single-season home run record. Still, Wood felt overwhelmed at : times on days he did not pitch. : "For me, the toughest part was the off-field stuff," Wood said. "He's got : four above-average pitches. He's confident out on the field. I was the same : way. I wasn't big into the off-the-field stuff. That's our comfort zone, is : out there on the field, on the mound. I just wanted to come to work and : compete as hard as I could." 1998 年有两件大事炒热了当年的棒坛，一便是 Sammy Sosa 的全垒打 纪录战，另一便是 Wood 了。这让 Wood 备感压力。 「只有场上是能真正让我放心的地方，我实在不懂得应付那些球场外的 喧喧扰扰。」said K. Wood。 : Wood had little to say on Strasburg as a pitcher. ("I haven't paid a whole : lot of attention to him," Wood said. "I saw some of the highlights.") But he : pointed out something universal for any pitcher, especially one with as much : scrutiny as Strasburg faces. : "Probably the toughest part is the first time you have a bad one," Wood said. : "He hasn't dealt with adversity, hasn't really struggled out in the field : yet. It might be two years. It might be three or four years. It might be his : next start. Who knows? When it does happen, he's going to have to bounce back : after that first one." 对於身为投手，Wood 没有太多想说的东西。仅提了一点大部分投手都会 面临的问题：「第一次面临挫折的那刻，或许会是人生中最艰难的一步， 而小史尚未走到这一步。这或许会发生在两三四年後，也或许只是下一场 先发，谁能肯定呢？只要还没发生，小史就必须面临如何克服那个挫折。」 said K. Wood。 --
