賽後Lincecum對一局上沒有傳球夾殺Michael Young做出解釋
原來他以為當時有兩個跑者要跑向三壘
也就是他把Uribe, Renteria其中一人看成遊騎兵的跑者...
看來第一次打世界大賽真的很緊張
SAN FRANCISCO — Whether it was the product of nerves or "a little bit of a
brain fart", Tim Lincecum(notes) started Game 1 of the World Series on
Wednesday with a world-class spaceout in a rundown situation in the first
inning.
However, the two-time Cy Young winner was able to recover on a night when he
said he didn't have his best stuff and recorded a win in his first World
Series start. His line for the night: 5 2/3 innings, four earned runs, eight
hits and only three strikeouts in the Giants' 11-7 win over the Texas Rangers
at AT&T Park.
It wasn't a good start, but it was good enough to beat the clobbered Cliff
Lee(notes).
While the ending of the game was great for Lincecum, manager Bruce Bochy
described his start as "less than auspicious."
Here's what happened: With one out and runners on first and third in the top
of the first inning, Lincecum fielded a quick comebacker from Rangers slugger
Nelson Cruz(notes)
Lincecum quickly noticed that Michael Young(notes) had broken home from third
and ran at him with the ball for what would have been the second out of the
inning. But as Young returned back to third, Lincecum failed to throw the
ball to either third baseman Juan Uribe(notes) or shortstop Edgar
Renteria(notes), who were standing near the bag. Young was ruled safe and the
bases were loaded with Ian Kinsler(notes) coming to the plate.
Luckily for Lincecum, Kinsler grounded to third and Uribe made a nice throw
for a 5-3 double play that first baseman Aubrey Huff(notes) finished with a
nice scoop.
No harm, no foul.
So why didn't Lincecum throw the ball?
He said after the game that he thought there were two Rangers runners at the
bag. In reality, Lincecum saw Young and mistoook either Uribe and Renteria
for another runner.
Whoops.
Lincecum allowed for the possibility of being nervous in the first frame of
his first Fall Classic.
