Dodgers' Hong-Chih Kuo feels more at ease Left-hander says his thoughts of retiring have vanished. By Dylan Hernandez, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer September 9, 2008 http://0rz.tw/444LE SAN DIEGO -- Hong-Chih Kuo said the thoughts he had of retiring in the spring are almost completely gone from his mind. 春訓想要退休的念頭已經「完全」從心頭打消。 Eighteen games are what separate the 27-year-old left-hander from the end of the regular season, the point he hoped to reach with his surgically repaired elbow intact. 郭還有十八場比賽，這將是郭的第一個完整健康的球季。 之前一直為肘所困。 That he isn't starting is no longer an issue to him. And he isn't pointing to his numbers to campaign for a spot in the rotation next year. 能不能先發已經不是最重要了。 "I'm just trying to stay healthy," Kuo said. "It doesn't matter what kind of job I do." 郭：我不想要痛痛，健康最重要；能有球投就可以。 Staying healthy with an elbow that has survived three surgeries, including one 13 months ago, has forced Kuo to be among the first players to show up to work every day. He has received various forms of therapy in the trainer's room, ranging from ultrasound and electrical stimulation treatment to extra stretching. 郭已經動過三次手術，包括去年七月那次， 郭也接受很多類型的復健。 On days when he might be called upon to pitch, Kuo rubs a hot balm on his elbow to keep it loose. After every outing, he straps packs of ice on his shoulder and elbow. 當上場投球的時候， 郭都要擦上類似熱力的鎮痛軟膏讓手肘放鬆； 而每投完一場，郭都要在肩膀和手肘上進行冰敷。 "He's shown more heart than I've ever seen in a player trying to get through a season," trainer Stan Conte said. 防護員Conte說郭展現想要投完一整個球季的企圖心是他所看過球員中最強烈的。 Kuo said he worried about whether his elbow would be able to handle the setup role that he was forced into when Takashi Saito went down because of an elbow injury in July. Kuo started the season as a long reliever who pitched every few days. 當齋藤七月因為手肘問題而進入傷兵名單的時候， 郭說他還擔心不知道他的手肘能不能扮演好他被賦予的角色； 郭這個球季幾乎是設定為長中繼。(那之前怎麼會有天天郭?! 就拖累:......) Kuo has pitched 79 2/3 innings over 41 games, 38 of them in relief. He's 5-2 with a 2.03 earned-run average and hasn't worn down, as he hasn't given up a run in the eight innings he has pitched in his last five appearances. 郭已經在41場比賽中投了將近80局， 其中38場是中繼， 精彩又漂亮的ERA令人驚艷。 在最近八局的投球中一分未失！ 其餘沒有郭的部分就不摘述， 如有誤解原文還請指正。 ※ 引述《iverboy (無聊的沙鹿)》之銘言： : 更新日期:2008/09/10 07:10 記者藍宗標／綜合報導 : 生涯飽受傷痛之苦，對旅美投手郭泓志來說，定位先發、後援早已不重要，退休念頭也成 : 「過去式」，他的最大目標是拚完本季最後18戰，讓自己有個完整球季，這是小小郭過去 : 3年最大遺憾。 : 美國西岸發行量最大的洛杉磯時報，昨天在道奇、教士之戰前訪問郭泓志，文中並引述道 : 奇防護員康提的說法：「我從未看過一個球員，為了撐完整季，付出這麼大的心血。」 : 根據洛杉磯時報的報導，郭泓志表示，今年春訓動過退休念頭，現在幾乎完全消失了，他 : 說：「我只想保持健康，什麼任務都無所謂。」 : 郭泓志去年7月26日接受第四次手肘手術，移除碎骨，後來復健情況良好，本季從開幕戰 : 起，一直待在25人名單至今，道奇昨天以73勝71 敗在分區領先，今起到29日還有最後18 : 戰，小小郭升上大聯盟4年，個人一大步已近在眼前。 : 道奇昨天不敵教士投手白嗟承，以0：4輸球，終止最近8連勝，老將麥道斯面對老東家， : 吞下本季第十二敗，不過響尾蛇2：6敗給巨人，還是落後道奇1.5場勝差。 : 洛杉磯時報指出，郭泓志不當先發投手、明年是否再爭先發，都不是重點，他去年動完手 : 術後，為了徹底伸展手臂，接受各種療程，超音波、電擊統統來，碰到可能登板的日子， : 賽前先以軟膏按摩，賽後再冰敷肩膀、手肘，儘量不讓舊傷受到衝擊。 : 道奇「守護神」齋藤隆在7月中列入傷兵名單，郭泓志一度擔心手肘能否負荷「佈局投手 : 」重任，從他最近5戰連續8局無失分看來，這個想法是多慮了。 : 郭泓志在2005年9月3日初登大聯盟，過去3季起伏較大，大聯盟資歷只有1年114天，本季 : 可望追加1年，39萬兩千美元的年薪，明年也有機會明顯成長。 : http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/080910/2/15mok.html --
