雖然大家可能都在等待會早上7點要開打的王建民對決Cliff Lee,但在此之前,先分享個同樣令人興奮的消息。本來看到報導標題心裡還想說,郭泓志中繼3又2/3局飆8K?記錯了吧,他前幾天明明就是中繼對上洛磯主投3又2/3局飆5K,拿下本季第一勝啊!等等,對手是大都會,那不就是今天的賽事,不囉唆,馬上開啟MLB官網,開始蒐集這場火球男復活的相關外電報導、影片、照片。我只能說:現在的郭泓志,真的是太殺了!
光是看這張就知道小郭多滿意自己現在的表現!! 圖片來源:Getty
今天小郭又是臨危受命,接替日籍的先發投手黑田博樹,在四局上一出局一、二壘有人的危機下登板,但小郭似乎今年就是喜歡這種調調,越是緊張的局面,他越是囂張,怎麼個囂張法?六個球,三振掉接下來的兩位打者,三人出局,解除危機。講完了,就是這麼乾脆!

從官網Gameday來看,小郭面對的第一個打者是第五棒的Delgado,78英哩曲球、96英哩速球、96英哩速球,打者揮棒落空遭到三振。第二個則是Pagan,96英哩、96英哩、97英哩,打者擦棒被捕同樣遭到三振。看他連催五顆火球讓打者彷彿是在做揮空棒練習,怎能不叫人振奮!
五局上來,小郭又是連續三個好球解決打者Schneider,雖然接下來對Cistillo投出觸身球,讓Figueroa獲得保送,但情況一樣,可能又是一出局一二壘有人的情況下,小郭比較熟悉 XD。至於結局,你是知道的,連續三振掉上來的Reyes與Church,小郭再度瀟灑的步下投手丘。其中三振Church的最後一球居然還高達98英哩!!!!! 天啊!看到這數字都快哭了我。
看小郭這麼帥,隊友不幫忙把分數打回來送他一場勝投就說不過去啦!五局下,Martin在兩出局後安打上壘,結果,前一場比賽才揮出生涯第一發全壘打的新秀三壘手Blake DeWitt,此時再度建功,打出一支右外野方向的深遠安打,右外野手沒處理好撞在牆上,兩分都跑回來,形成一支逆轉比數的場內全壘打!雖然說,不少外電報導都把重點放在DeWitt的神來一棒,搶走了小郭完美中繼的丰采,但看在他幫小郭打下致勝分,就不跟他計較了。XD
胡金龍也毫不客氣拍DeWitt 的頭祝賀一下!! 圖片來源:Getty
小郭就這樣一路K,到了八局上,總教練Torre老爺又像當初疼惜王建民一樣,在此時才將已經投了51球(37個好球)的小郭換下,讓他好好接受主場多達4,3927名觀眾們的起立喝采!這是多麼榮耀的一刻!最後,隊友Broxton與齋藤隆也順利投完八、九兩局(分別都順利瓦解對手攻佔二壘得點圈的危機),成功把小郭的本季第二勝給守下來!

小郭今天的投球進壘點分佈
小郭今天面對的11位打者中,5個左打6個右打,左打者對於小郭的球可說是一籌莫展,全部都被K下場。全場送出八次三振也平了個人生涯單場最高記錄,同時,他也是本季大聯盟的後援投手裡,最會「K」人的一位。而小郭在最近被Torre調整為長中繼後,沒想到卻順利幫助球隊贏球,個人也拿下兩場勝投,近來7又1/3局,僅被敲出3支ㄢ打,送出13次三振,你說這樣的表現夠不夠HOT?
Yahoo! Sports 首頁的Fantasy Game告訴你!
小郭直接衝上近七天來最HOT投手的第一位,可惜本季只有3%的FB玩家獨具慧眼有選他... 囧
郭泓志在今天投完後,防禦率從3.05再降至2.59,累積24.1局送出33K(比王建民多1次了),K/9值是聯盟頂尖銷魂的12.21,保送只有9次,被打擊率也僅有2成13。我可以說道奇本季算是「海底撈月」胡到這把嗎? XD
郭泓志截至今天為止的表現
W | L | ERA | G | GS | CG | SHO | SV | SVO | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | |
2008 | 2 | 1 | 2.59 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 24.1 | 19 | 7 | 7 | 2 | 9 | 33 |
生涯 | 4 | 11 | 4.81 | 53 | 14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 119.2 | 113 | 67 | 64 | 9 | 61 | 141 |
還記得郭泓志的大聯盟生涯第一勝,就是2006年從大都會手中拿下的。當時那場比賽他送出7K,今天更上一層樓,能夠欣賞到小郭用更少的局數送出更多的三振,豈止是「過癮」兩個字所能形容的。
郭泓志加油!讓我們看你繼續用你手中的火球,對打者們一個個大聲宣告「K YOU ALL」!

以下摘錄幾段
MLB官網第一段很屌的開頭
Unhittable is a word too loosely thrown around to describe pitchers, but in the middle innings of Tuesday night's game, it described Hong-Chih Kuo and it was no exaggeration.
大都會總教練Willie Randolph 表示
"He came in and just threw fastballs and went after us," said Mets manager Willie Randolph. "He's what made the difference in the game. After they brought him in, he really kind of shut us down."
對於目前教練團所賦予他的角色,小郭表示
"I've gotten used to it," he said. "I feel very comfortable right now."
道奇總教練Joe Torre 表示
"I really like him where he is," Torre said when asked if Kuo, who's already made three starts this year, might make more. "A weapon like that in the middle of the game -- as a starting pitcher, the thing is, he barely got to the fifth inning. Innings four to seven are so important."
"I think right now, just the way (Kuo) feels physically is exciting to him," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "I haven't been here very long, but (pitching coach Rick) Honeycutt was talking about the way the ball was coming out of his hand and how it's something we need to take advantage of. Right from the first time I met this young man, it was like, 'I'll do whatever it takes to help this ballclub.'
"If you tell him he is going to start, he gives you the same expression he gives you when you say you're putting him back in the bullpen."
道奇投手教練Rick Honeycutt 表示
Honeycutt said Kuo had been using too many off-speed pitches earlier this year. "Maybe now he's just raring back and letting it go," he said. "Sometimes he likes to show he's a control guy. I haven't seen that look in his eye in a long time until tonight."
隊友DeWitt 表示
"He came in there and did exactly what he was supposed to do and more," DeWitt said. "He pitched great, and it gave a lift to everybody."
