Rays experiencing power outage Maddon chalks it up to key players expanding their strike zones By Bill Chastain / MLB.com PHILADELPHIA -- The Rays have hit 23 home runs through 14 postseason games, but they have hit just one blast thus far during the World Series. Carl Crawford's solo home run in Game 1 is the only circuit blast the Rays have accounted for in the Fall Classic, which comes as a surprise after Tampa Bay hit 16 home runs against Boston during the American League Championship Series. 光芒队在过去的14场季後赛出赛中打出了23发全垒打,但在世界大赛只轰出了一发 这唯一的一发全垒打就是Crawford在Game 1 的阳春全垒打,在美联冠军系列赛中 轰了红袜16发之後!?谁想的到? Of note have been the performances of Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena. 关键在龙哥跟pena的表现 Longoria has six home runs in the postseason, but he is hitless in his past 13 at-bats, dating back to a fourth-inning RBI single in Game 7 of the ALCS. Pena has three long balls in the postseason -- he homered in all three ALCS games at Fenway Park -- but he is hitless in his past 18 at-bats since delivering a fifth-inning single in Boston in Game 5 of the ALCS. And their combined 0-for-22 performance in the first three games of the series is the lowest average by a team's Nos. 3-4 hitters in Fall Classic history. 龙哥在季後赛轰了六发全垒打,但在美联冠军G7第四局的RBI single後,13打席无安打 Pena打了三发,全在Fenway Park,但在美联冠军G5的第五局後0-18, 两个人在世界大赛头三战一共贡献了0-22,成为世界大赛历史上打击率最低的三四棒 Collectively, the duo never went hitless for three consecutive games during the regular season. Individually, Longoria went hitless in three straight games three times and Pena twice in the regular season. 这两只从未在季赛中'一起'连续三场无安打,分开算的话,龙哥自己有三次,Pena两次(要休 也要排轮休阿...) Rays manager Joe Maddon attributes the lulls with Longoria and Pena to the pair expanding their strike zones. 总教练Maddon认为他们两个的好球带都太大了 "[They're] just getting out of their zones a little bit," Maddon said. "I really addressed that primarily first with all the hitters. Normally, when guys go bad, everybody wants to go for the mechanical correction. But I oftentimes think it's just what he's swinging at. I talked to them both. I talked to Longo about it. We always talk to Carlos about it -- 'Just get back into your zone, you'll be fine.' When you're swinging at pitches that you don't normally hit, you're not going to hit them now either." "他们有点找不到自己设定的好球带" "状况不好的时候,每个人都想从机制上去矫正,但我通常认为是选球的问题,我跟他们两个 都说过,跟龙哥说过,pena也说过,当你只打自己设定的好球,你就没问题了;硬是去打自己 平常不会去打的球,当然打不好" Maddon said the problem can sometimes be attributed to the mind-set of a young hitter. 有时候是这些年轻打者的心态问题 "I think young hitters are trained to believe, when things aren't going well, it's physical mechanics," Maddon said. "But I think it's mental, in regard to expanding your strike zone. So more than anything, I want them to get back to their strike zones." "这些年轻人都被训练成只要打击不顺,就认为是身体有问题" 但我认为这都是心理作用,是选球的问题,所以最重要的是;我要他们找到自己的好球带" Longoria appeared to snap out of his slump in the sixth inning of Saturday night's game when he hit a pitch off Phillies starter Jamie Moyer with two outs and a man on that looked like a home run. Unfortunately for Longoria and the Rays, the wind blew the ball back to where Phillies left fielder Pat Burrell could make the catch. 星期天早上的比赛中,六局上,两出局一人在垒,当龙哥从Moyer手中把球打出去时,看起来 似乎摆脱低潮了 不幸的是,费城风硬是把这球带回场内让左外野手Burrell接杀了他 "I really was just jogging out of the box to see if the ball was going to stay fair," Longoria said. "In my mind, I thought it was for sure going out. I was just seeing if it was fair or foul. I started rounding first, and I saw him camped under the ball. I was stunned." "我从打击区跑出来时还在看这球够不够直,我知道这球一定会出去,只是不确定落在界内 还是界外"龙哥说 "我一边跑垒,然後就看到他等在球的下方,我吓呆了" Maddon also thought Longoria had measured one. Maddon也以为龙哥打出去了 "Longo crushed that ball yesterday -- that was unfortunate," Maddon said. "Weather conditions kept that ball in the ballpark." "那球龙哥打的扎实,只是运气差了点" "天气让球留在了场内" Interestingly, the Rays have scored their past eight runs with just one base hit. They scored four runs in Game 3, with the runs coming on a sacrifice fly, two groundouts and a throwing error. The Rays scored four runs in Game 2, with only one run scoring on a base hit, and that came on a single by B.J. Upton. 有趣的是,光芒最近的八分只靠一个垒打数就得到了,他们在Game 3只靠一支牺牲打,两个 滚地球和一个暴投就得了四分 Game2的四分里唯一靠安打得到的,就是Upton的一垒安打 During the regular season, the Rays scored 153 runs without a hit -- or 20 percent of their total of 774. 在季赛中,光芒有153分是不靠安打得到的,占他们今年的总得分774的1/5 Maddon said the Rays can still win the World Series despite the reduction in offensive productivity. Maddon说即使攻击火力下降,光芒仍可以赢得世界大赛 "You can win in a variety of ways," Maddon said. "Last night, we almost won based on our legs. One of the things I've talked about a lot since I've gotten here is the balance throughout our team. I don't want to build a team based on one component, whether it's power or speed or whatever. "你有很多方法可以赢得比赛,昨天晚上我们几乎'跑'赢了比赛"Maddon说 "有一件事是从我来到这里,我一直在说的,就是球队的均衡发展,我不想把球队建立在单一 要素上,不论是力量,速度还是其他的" "I like the idea that you could be a balanced ballclub. You can win with your legs, win with your power, hopefully with your situational hitting, etc., the good pitching, the defense. Of course, it's a lot easier to win if both of them are doing what they can do. But I really have a lot of faith that we can produce runs in other ways. Furthermore, I think they're going to be fine." "我喜欢这种想法,作为一支全面性的球队,你可以用速度赢得比赛,用力量赢得比赛,对关 键时刻的技巧性打击充满期待 当投手很威,防守又很帮忙时,你当然可以赢的很轻松,但是我也有信心靠其他方法要到分 数,此外,我相信他们可以做的很好" Bill Chastain is a reporter for MLB.com.
