就quote一些我自己比較有興趣的訪問....
Who taught you the cutter?
“Myself. When I was in Sacramento in 09, I was getting around my slider. I
was like, I can’t do this no more. So I just have a slider grip and just
threw the hell out of it and it started cutting. That’s how I got my cutter.
”
Poor Tatum. You got him to swing and miss at, like six in a row.
“Yeah. Once I saw him swing at the first one, I was just going to keep going
with it.”
It’s like magic, that pitch.
“It was a good pitch up in Taiwan, too. That’s when I really started
learning how to throw it harder and harder and harder. Once I started
throwing it harder, that’s all I had to do – throw it right down the middle
and it moved.”
*********************************************
The pitch to Guerrero to get out of that jam, when you struck him out?
“I threw him a sinker.”
And the double play ball?
“I threw him a changeup. Just trying to throw ‘em in the strike zone and
keep ‘em down. If I’m pitching the ball up I know I’m going to be hurt.”
**********************************************
Did you think you had this in you?
“When I was over in Taiwan last year, I thought I had a chance to be back in
the big leagues. Everything paid off and I’m back here, trying to pitch
well. It’s been a long road. And the things I’ve been through, I have to …
I mean. I’m just speechless right now.”
**********************************************
You said you were thinking about retiring. When was that?
“About two years ago. Went down to winter ball, didn’t get any offers. If
Taiwan never came, I probably would have hung it up.”
**********************************************
我不知道他去年在台灣投的怎樣....
但如果沒有台灣之行,他在大概就已經退休了.....
去台灣之前他開始丟掉他的slider改練cutter.....
讓後在台灣實戰使用cutter然後練出成果...
搭配他有的2-seam/changup...
讓他在台灣的時候開始覺得他有機會回來....
我不知道他去年為什麼會離開統一...
但今年6月被天使球探Bobby DeJardin簽了回來...
雖然他的順位一直被排在chatwood/richard/bells/palmer這些人後面....
但前面的人都或多或少有問題要處理的時候....
他投出了成績....
我看了他今天的投球,要站穩4,5號應該是可以....
希望他加油....
and看來我的路人甲乙丙丁的故事可以再加一篇了....
