因為是自己寫的，就速翻了。 大家都看過最近米國電視台狂打的百威啤酒「Drinkability」廣告吧？就是那樣。 既然我在講這一星期熊hittability的表現，先插播本週新聞觀察： - 5/22 Rich Harden DL (15天) 背後肌肉拉傷 - 5/22 Lou看打線不良，準備最壞情況把索爺放二壘，Hoffpauir左外野 - 不知不覺David Patton穩坐永久板凳，Lou繼續帶12減1人投手 - 5/17 Zambrano傷癒，感覺良好，下星期回來 - 5/16 Ryan Theriot被Sun Times標題殺人，和禁藥扯在一起（內容和他無關） - 5/15 Milton Bradley撞到壘審的判決從輕，兩天減一天 我知道還有其他新聞，不過最近硬碟被手機搞壞了，實在無心去找回來。 以下是本文： Hittability No, this has nothing to do with beer, but the same embarrassment of too much Bud light at work has become synonymous with Cubs batters. 我不是來賣啤酒的. Hittability. Read it "Hit-ability." I came up with this term five days ago, when our team was on a two-game losing streak. Well, now we are on 6. Hittability = 這一週的小熊打線已經是個笑話。 Good pitching, sure we got it. Solid defense? Enough to support the guys on the mound. Running the bases? A few errors, but I can live with it if only... They hit. 小熊投手都哭哭。 The magic 6. It's a week of games. That's 4% of a big league season (1 out of 25 weeks). Can Cubbies really not see the ball and put it in play? 數字會說話. I'm not saying Derrek Lee is not hitting. I'm not saying Fukudome is not hitting. Hell, I'm not even saying Rich Harden is not jumping on the ball (he can hit and run, by the way). Hittability is a collective effort. It's a team performance. It's the fundamental 101 of surviving for a professional baseball team, as the Cubs are. 有些零星的安打，但是整體上，甚至投手的Rich Harden 都算小熊中心打者！ What is going on recently with Cubbie hittability? The last 7 days? A week of 6 losses? 這一週來連敗百分之四個球季的理由是沒有hittability。 We are batting .189/.246/.265. To sum this up, the Cubs in the last 6 games garnered an OPS of 512 = Last in the Major League, out of 30 teams. You are reading this right: We are below the Giants, and even below the Padres. 熊這一週來的打擊領先全大聯盟 (倒數). Cubs lost the hittability. 這也叫hittability？ Perhaps we can blame all on some poor plate discipline during this week of losses. The Cubs only walked 12 times the past 7 days, last in the Major League. Worse of worst, 9 extra base-hit, tied last with three other teams. 熊打者都瞎了。 We got no intentional walks. When a team is without hittability, no opposing pitchers would need to walk any of the Cubs. Without hittability, you can't drive the ball, can't put the ball on play, can't put pressure on his mound. 對方投手一看到今天對熊，就很樂。 And this also put the Cubs down to the bottom third of the National League, with an Ops of 729 the whole season. That's counting in Zambrano and ARam when they were healthy two weeks ago. 受傷的影響...莫再提。 Hittability. Maybe we just need the magic touch with a Cubbie at the plate: Holding some beer can on one hand, and open up a hole on the field. Or else... keep walking. Like the Cardinals do, a low hitting team. They know as long as they put more man on base, add some chance of scoring, then the longball will carry itself. 沒有百分百的hittability，也馬學學聯盟拿過最多世界冠軍的禽類， 來個兩成八三的hittability加走路還有放炮吧？ That's also Hittability. And the Cubs hitting coach and scouting report need to figure out what's an alternative game plan. 可是不是我說了算。教練還有球探建議才是能否把失落的寶物 (hittability) 找回來的關鍵。 --
