Re: [外電] What to do about Wang
※ 引述《wonders320 (一飛沖天)》之銘言:
: The author: Peter Abraham
: http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/06/11/what-do-do-about-wang/
: Those 94-mph fastballs and the nasty sliders Chien-Ming Wang used to
: strike out Kevin Youkilis and Jason Bay in the second inning last night
: should tell you that he is not washed up as a starting pitcher.
過去王拿來三振對手的94麥快速球和極品滑球,
在昨日的第二局對上光頭王和灣哥時成功再現。
光這幾球可以明顯看出,王還是有本錢當先發投手。 (washed up: 完蛋,被淘汰的)
: The idea that Wang forgot out to pitch and needs to be traded, released or
: demoted is ludicrous. He’s 29, not 39.
: But the Yankees need to figure out something and that’s on pitching coach
: Dave Eiland.
「王建民忘了怎麼投球」「交易他啦」「釋出釋出」「下放練功」
這些說法是很可笑的,他才29歲,不是39歲。
但洋基必須找出問題出在哪-而這是投教Dave Eiland的責任。
: For whatever reason, Wang and Eiland do not seem to have a good rapport.
: Eiland’s standard response when asked about Wang is to say that the pitcher
: looks great in the bullpen but doesn’t take it out to the game. “I can’t
: stand behind him,” Eiland said last night, making the obvious implication
: that Wang lacks mental toughness.
因為某些因素,王建民跟Eiland的關係看起來就是不太蘇湖。
當媒體問起王的問題,Eiland就重彈老調說:「王在牛棚很不錯,上場就投不出來」
「我無法在投手丘上指導他」這是Eiland昨晚的說詞,言外之意似乎在說
王建民缺乏上場自立的心理素質。
: No, Eiland can’t stand behind him. But he can coach him. Ron Guidry was not
: respected as a pitching coach within the organization. He was seen as little
: more than Joe Torre’s pal, a man far away from the cutting edge of game
: preparation and other modern techniques. But for whatever reason, Guidry
: connected with Wang. The right-hander had his two best seasons with Guidry
: patting him on the back from time to time and offering a few tips in his
: thick Cajun accent.
的確,Eiland是沒辦法時刻跟著王,但起碼他是投教,可以指導他。
古錐在隊中時並不是一個備受尊敬的投教,大多數人只視他為托瑞爺的哥倆好。
對賽前準備或教導新的練投技巧,古錐絕不會是你心目中的人選。
但又因為某些因素(還真謎啊),古錐跟王之間有股不可思議的連結。
王建民在他的執教下投出生涯代表作的兩個球季,靠的就是古錐的拍拍
以及他濃濃鄉音的指導。
: Guidry consented to be a guest instructor in spring training even after the
: Yankees fired him as a coach. Why not fly the Gator in and have him sit down
: with Wang and watch a few bullpen sessions? How could that possibly hurt? I
: mentioned this idea on the blog last night and it would seem to make sense.
即使2008被洋基火掉,古錐在春訓時仍答應當洋基的客座指導員。
那現在幹麻不叫他飛來牛棚跟王建民指導一下?這會對誰造成什麼傷害嗎?
我昨晚在部落格上就已經提過,看起來十分可行。
: Professional egos being what they are, don’t expect it.
當然,身為投教一定有專業架子,不會隨便就飛去別隊牛棚
所以別指望(古錐會自己飛過來)太多啦。 <<感謝k大的指導
: Obviously, Wang bears the burden of this mess. He’s a professional athlete
: and its responsibility to perform. But coaches are in place for times like
: these.
很明顯地,王建民獨自承受投差的所有壓力。
身為職業選手,他的確有投出好球的職責。
但投教應該在投手低潮時能夠伸出援手。
: Eiland has plenty to do. The pitching staff is second in the AL in walks
: and first in home runs allowed. Only two teams — hapless Baltimore and
: Cleveland — are allowing a higher OPS.
Eiland該作的事可多著。
他底下的投手群們目前是美聯保送第二多、被打全壘打最多。
全美聯只有兩隊-掛車尾的金鶯和笑臉人-的被攻擊指數更高。
: A.J. Burnett has been a disappointment. Andy Pettitte is walking more
: batters per nine innings (3.9) than he has since 1999. Edwar Ramirez has
: vanished to the minors. Jose Veras is an unreliable mop-up man and Joba
: Chamberlain has gone more than six innings twice in 11 starts.
: Even Mariano Rivera has had his issues. Apparently Eiland can’t stand
: behind those guys, either.
A.J.的表現不如預期,老派的BB/9創了1999以來的新高,小拉米銷聲匿跡到3A去了
火拉斯整天上來放火,喬巴過去11次先發有兩次投超過六局(別忘了他有150局的限制)
甚至連守護神MO都被打爆過。
很明顯地,這投教完全不知道在搞些什麼東西 (這樣翻有比較鄉民嗎XD)
: If pitching is the foundation of a championship, the Yankees have cracks in
: the cement that go beyond Chien-Ming Wang. But fixing him would be a good
: place to start. Let Guidry take his shot.
如果投手是通往冠軍路的基石,那洋基除了王建民以外還有很多地方要修。
不過從王建民開始會是一個不錯的選擇。
叫古錐總欸出來教啦!!!!
