節錄部分DallasNews的報導~ 告訴我們為什麼 Lee 從 Cy Young Contender 變成左手版的 Rich Harden....XD 目前看起來不嚴重，希望他趕快恢復身手囉~~ Cliff Lee stunk again Tuesday. He blew three leads – in the first five innings. The Rangers ended up losing a game in which Lee started and the offense scored nine runs. Then Lee told the Rangers he's had discomfort in his lower back. And that the trouble pre-dated Tuesday. You would not believe Ron Washington's reaction. He was relieved. At least the back pain pronouncement – and the results of a preliminary exam suggesting it wasn't serious – provided insight for why Lee has turned from Cy Young contender to a left-handed version of Rich Harden. In Seattle, Lee had a 2.34 ERA; as a Ranger, it's almost exactly double that (4.69). Guys don't just turn that bad overnight. A further exam in Arlington on Wednesday indicated a knot in the muscle. The solution: A "trigger point" injection of cortisone and local anesthetic into the knot. It should quickly eliminate the problem and allow Lee to pitch without missing a turn, though he will be pushed back an extra day to Tuesday at Toronto. After 10 consecutive starts on four days' rest, Lee will get six days. The diagnosis and treatment gives the Rangers a more tangible way to treat Lee because all they had to work with in his last three starts was seeing the ball in locations it was not supposed to be – up when he was throwing to hitters; down and away when throwing to his fielders. It was his own throwing error on a double-play ball Tuesday that started the collapse. --
