※ 引述《xiemark (aisinjuro)》之銘言： : Dodgers' Kuo offers Dodgers hope : By MARK WHICKER : The Orange County Register : LOS ANGELES – A Dodger starting pitcher reached the sixth inning Sunday : without having to produce two forms of identification and a thumbprint. : Amazingly, he was even allowed to proceed to the seventh. : The laws of supply and demand worked for Hong-Chih Kuo and the Dodgers. He : has surplus innings. They need every pitch. : This is a 25-year-old lefty who has survived the double jeopardy of two Tommy : John surgeries. : This is a team that is one loss away from anesthesia and two losses away from : intensive care. : Kuo operated beautifully, with eight strikeouts and no earned runs in those : seven innings, and he doubled to left, although he appeared to begin his : journey with an unwarranted home run trot. : He even scored the Dodgers' only run, until Nomar Garciaparra buried the : final 2006 Dodger Stadium regular-season pitch into the left-center pavilion, : a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. : Sure, it was only the third most dramatic homer in seven days here. It was : also the most important, since it kept the Dodgers a game-and-a-half behind : San Diego and a half-game of Philadelphia, and beat Arizona, 5-1. : "Everybody did the little things," Garciaparra said, "but you can't say : enough about what the pitching staff did. This was their game today." : Kuo used this 100-pitch extravaganza to earn a Friday start in San Francisco, : a game the Dodgers hope is meaningful. : For those inclined to think about 2007 and beyond, Kuo means hope - a : homegrown starting pitcher with real bullets, as long as the gun isn't : jammed. : "I felt good," Kuo said, "and I threw good sliders. I just took it : inning-by-inning and tried to do my best." : "This guy's a strikeout pitcher," said Rick Honeycutt, the pitching coach. : "Today he did it to lots of right-handed hitters (eight righties on the : Arizona lineup card). We thought he could get ahead in some counts and then t : hrow some pitches into some 'chase' areas, and we'd have some success." : An error by Wilson Betemit set up an Arizona run and a second-and-third : problem in the third inning, but Kuo struck out Conor Jackson and walked off. : A first-and-third situation arose in the fourth, and Kuo froze Chris Snyder : to escape again. : Then Kuo slammed a drive over left fielder Scott Hairston's head and off the : wall. He ambled to first, sprinted to second. : "I didn't know if it was going out or not," said Kuo, who homered once in Las : Vegas this year. "I thought, OK, I got a hit." : You were supposed to have heard about Kuo long before this. : His grand 2000 debut with San Bernardino was a party that dissipated into : smoke. Kuo struck out seven batters in three innings and then wrecked his : elbow. : He didn't pitch again until June of '01. Then he missed all of '03. : "He had a nerve entrapment issue," Honeycutt said. "When the scar tissue : builds up, sometimes it gets caught and you need to fix it again." : Maybe Kuo - and other pitchers - should have surgery more often. Kuo's : post-op stuff was just as lethal, striking out 86 in 54 innings in '05. : The Dodgers lifted him out of the bullpen at midseason in Las Vegas. In four : starters for the varsity, he's 2-2 with a 2.59 ERA, and 29 strikeouts in : 241/3 innings. : And, for the first time since Sept. 15, someone went seven innings for the : Dodgers who is not named Derek Lowe. : "His stuff is obviously electric," bullpen coach Dan Warthen said. "But he : wasn't getting very good command of his breaking stuff when he was in the : bullpen. I think being a starter has relaxed him somewhat." : "We just wanted to build up innings and arm strength with him," Honeycutt : said. "It took him a while to throw the curveball. I think there was some : fear there, because he got hurt throwing that pitch at one point. He's had : some excellent starts.". 想請教板上英文好的人在第一段他說 A Dodger starting pitcher reached the sixth inning Sunday without having to produce two forms of identification and a thumbprint 我看了大半天還是看不懂這段話是什麼意思我去查了一下字典 thumbprint是姆指指紋的意思可是還是搞不懂這段話是在說小小郭什麼有人可以幫我解惑嗎謝謝 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.104.103.72
