[外電] MLB各隊投手單場最佳表現 (1)
摘自上上禮拜ESPN的文章,還蠻有趣的
隨手翻一下,如有錯誤還請多多指教~
原文: ESPN The best pitching performance ever for all 30 teams

=================================================================
On May 4, Gerrit Cole pitched one of the best games you will ever see. He
fired a 16-strikeout shutout against the Diamondbacks, allowing just one hit
and one walk. As a remarkable side note, Cole didn't strike out any batters
in the first or ninth innings, so 16 of the 21 outs from the second through
the eighth were strikeouts. His final two pitches were 99 mph. Cole called it
"probably my best" start of his career. Umm, no "probably" needed there.
太空人投手Cole在5/4對蛇蛇投出了16K九局完封勝--僅被敲出一支安打及送出一次保送。
值得一提的是Cole在第一局和第九局都沒有投出三振,意味著中間二到八局的21個出局
數中16個來自於三振。Cole稱這次先發"可能"是自己生涯最好的一次先發。當然"可能"
這兩個字是不需要的啦~
I wondered: Was this the best start in Astros history? Cole's Game Score was
100, a rare achievement. There have been just 15 such games in outings of
nine innings or fewer since 1908, so while Cole's game didn't receive the
notoriety of a no-hitter or perfect game, it was more impressive in many
ways, less reliant on the fortune of where a ball was hit and more dependent
on his pure dominance.
我突然想到:這是太空人歷史上最好的一次先發嗎?Cole本場比賽完成了一項罕見成就
--Game Score達到了100。自1908年以來在九局以內的比賽僅有15場達到這項殊榮。所以
說,Cole雖然沒有投出無安打或完全比賽,更令人佩服的是這場投球內容是來自於自
身在投手丘的宰制力,而非讓對手打到再憑運氣看看球會在哪裡落下。
按: 原文內有附Game Score算法,基本上投球局數多、失分少和三振多是累積分數的主
要來源,所以作者才會有上面這段最後兩句的說法。
With Cole's game in mind, I thought it would be fun to research the best
starts for every franchise. This wasn't as simple as just finding the best
Game Score for every team. With the way Game Score is calculated, the more
innings you pitch, the higher your Game Score can go, so most franchise
records are from games from decades ago, when pitchers would pitch deep into
extra innings. You also have to consider the opponent and the era --
strikeouts are more plentiful now, although complete games are scarce.
看了Cole這場比賽,我覺得去探尋各隊隊史上最好的先發應該還蠻有趣的。當然,這並
非只是找出Game Score最高分的比賽,因為Game Score的計算方式,各隊的紀錄通常都
來自於很久以前那些投手在延長賽投到10+局數的比賽。同時也要考慮到對手和所屬時代
的差距--舉例而言,現代棒球三振數變多,但完投變少等。
Two final notes before I reveal my selections:
‧ I considered only regular-season starts. Postseason is another beast
altogether given the importance of every game (though my editor says to be
prepared to go there come October). There is one franchise, however, where
the highest nine-inning Game Score in a postseason game matches the best in
the regular season.
‧ This list goes back to only 1908, which is as far back as the invaluable
Baseball-Reference Play Index goes. So whenever I might say "history," I
really mean since 1908.
兩個跟我的選擇相關的重點:
1. 僅包含季賽先發
2. 僅追溯至1908年
以下是各隊選評
會包含四個部分
單場最佳表現、有力競爭者、未來可能打破此紀錄的人,以及值得一提的事
===========================================================================
Los Angeles Angels: Nolan Ryan (July 15, 1973, versus Tigers)
Pitching line: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 17 SO (Game Score: 100)
There's no better pitcher to start this list with than Ryan, the king of the
no-hitter. He was so dominating in the second of his seven career no-hitters
that Tigers slugger Norm Cash walked up to the plate in the ninth inning with
a table leg instead of a bat -- admitting that no matter his weapon of
choice, he had no chance. That sounds like a tall tale from 1922 or
something, except we have video evidence:
洛杉磯天使: Nolan Ryan (July 15, 1973, 對上老虎隊)
投球數據: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 17 SO (Game Score: 100)
沒有任何一位投手比Nolan Ryan更適合作為本清單的開場了。在他生涯7次無安打比賽中
的第二場他展現了絕佳的宰制力--老虎打者Norm Cash甚至在九局打擊時拿了一根桌腳
來打擊,仍舊對Ryan的投球毫無作用。這可是有影片加以佐證的:
https://youtu.be/WEboSkPUgUo
For argument's sake: Dean Chance won the Cy Young Award in 1964 when he went
20-9 with a 1.65 ERA, throwing 15 complete games and 11 shutouts -- even
though he didn't join the rotation for good until the end of May. On June 6,
he threw 14 scoreless innings against the Yankees, striking out 12 and
allowing just three hits, good for a Game Score of 116 (although he ended up
with a no-decision).
最佳競爭者:Dean Chance在1964年拿下賽揚獎,當年度他投出了20勝五敗,防禦率1.65
,15場完投和11場完封的佳績--而且他還是在五月底才加入輪值。在6/6對洋基的比賽中
,他投了14局無失分,總計12個三振且僅被擊出三支安打的表現。單場的Game Score來
到了116分,雖說他那場比賽最後是無關勝負就是了。
Most likely to beat it: Shohei Ohtani is certainly capable of a game in which
everything comes together and he pitches a 16-strikeout no-hitter.
最有機會超越:大谷翔平,絕對有能力在一場天時地利人和皆具的比賽中投出16K無安打
按:太捧了吧XD
Noteworthy: Not surprisingly, Ryan is also the king of the Game Score. He has
four games of 100-plus. The only pitcher with more (since 1908) is Walter
Johnson, who had seven, but all of his were in outings of 12 innings or more.
Three of Ryan's four 100s were nine-inning outings and the fourth was 10
innings. Put it this way: There have been just 15 nine-inning Game Scores of
100 or more, and Ryan has three of them.
值得一提:Nolan Ryan同時也是Game Score之王。他投出過4場超過100分的比賽,唯一
比他多的是有7場的Walter Johnson,但7場全部都是超過12局的比賽就是了。Nolan Ryan
的4場中有3場是九局比賽而其中一場是10局。前面提過有15場九局100+Game Score的比
賽,Nolan Ryan就佔了其中3場!
按:Walter Johnson是古柏鎮最初入選五人之一,生涯總計110次完封也是歷史第一
============================================================================
接下來會不定期以一篇三隊左右的篇幅把這系列補完,
基本上會以原文章順序來翻譯,
如果有其他大大願意翻譯支持的球隊也很歡迎!
