: Kuo's first start a smash for Dodgers
: Rookie lefty dominates NL-best Mets; Furcal, Nomar go deep
: By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
: NEW YORK -- Hong-Chih Kuo is from Taiwan, but the Dodgers have been
: treating him like fine china.
: They've feared that a left elbow twice reconstructed by Tommy John surgery
: couldn't withstand the demands of a starting pitcher, so they had the
: 25-year-old relieve all year. For at least one huge emergency start
: against the Mets Friday night, he proved his caretakers happily wrong.
: As Dodgers rookies have done all season, Kuo stepped up in a crucial
: game and delivered like a veteran. Pitching exclusively from the
: stretch in his first career start, he threw six scoreless innings
: in a 5-0 shutout win that kept the Dodgers in first place and will
: keep Kuo in the rotation for at least another start.
: Kuo, who won his first career game, received home runs from Rafael
: Furcal and Nomar Garciaparra, but needed nothing more than the two
: gift runs that scored in the first inning on David Wright's throwing
: error.
: And somewhere out there in retirement land, another star-crossed former
: Dodgers pitcher should take some satisfaction in knowing that Kuo might
: not have done this without his help.
: "When I had to have the second operation, I thought about quitting and
: going home, but Darren Dreifort told me to keep going," Kuo said, after
: the waves of Taiwanese reporters subsided. "He said he was 30 years old
: and he had two surgeries, and he was still pitching, and I should keep
: going, too."
在記者群逐漸散去時，小小郭說：當我動了第二次手術，我只想要離開回家了。但是
玻璃人Darren Dreifort(以前道奇的prospect)告訴我要堅持下去。D.D.告訴我他也
歷經了兩次手術而且已經年過三十，仍然奮力不懈，所以我應該也要keep going!
: Kuo also credited guidance from Eric Gagne and support from family and
: friends for picking him up when he repeatedly felt down. Previous Dodgers
: administrations, having invested a $1.25 million signing bonus in Kuo as
: a 17-year-old, stuck with him, and the reward came against the toughest
: lineup in the league with the Dodgers reeling from four losses in five
: days.
小小郭也從道奇前終結者剛爺及家人那裡得到慰藉並且好友們(小曹？)時常在他down
的時候讓他再high起來(@@")。道奇高層在17歲的他身上投資了一百二十五萬美金，
終於在面對聯盟最嚴峻打線並得勝而得到回報，掃除5天內4敗的陰霾。
: "He looked 100 percent different as a starter from a reliever," said
: Furcal, whose torrid second half continued with two hits and two runs.
: "When a rookie comes out of the bullpen and walks a couple guys, they
: take him out of the game. As a starter, he stays in. This is what we
: were looking for now, somebody coming up from the Minor Leagues and
: helping you out."
"先發的小小郭和後援的小小郭根本變了個樣。" Furcal說，Furcal打了兩支安打
並貢獻兩分打點。"當一個新秀(指小小郭)從牛棚出來時，他保送了一些人，然後就
被電下場了。若是擔任先發投手時，他就ㄍㄧㄥ住了"（原諒我用注音文..）""這就
是我們所期待的，有人從小聯盟上來拯救大家!"
: Kuo battled butterflies in the first inning when he issued two of
: his three walks, but got a major assist when catcher Russell Martin
: threw out Jose Reyes trying to steal third base. He sailed after that,
: not allowing his first hits until the fifth inning, finishing with three
: hits allowed and seven strikeouts in six innings. Kuo used 90 pitches,
: some reaching 96 mph, and said he could have gone longer on what was,
: fittingly, Taiwanese Heritage Night at Shea Stadium.
: "His fastball is really sneaky, which is why he gets a lot of swings and
: misses," said Martin. "His slider was tight tonight. The difference in
: him starting and relieving is that he has the time to establish his
: fastball, and when the hitters cheat, he can use his off-speed [pitches]
: more. He has the stuff to face a lineup two or three times."
: Kuo agrees with all of that, and added that as a starting pitcher, he
: has sufficient time to loosen up that bionic arm, compared with the
: sometimes-hurried warmups required from a reliever.
: "I feel better warming up as a starter," he said. "I'm more comfortable,
: but I do whatever they tell me to."
: Manager Grady Little said he will tell Kuo he's starting Thursday in
: Chicago against the Cubs. He started Friday as a fill-in for the
: injured Chad Billingsley, who is expected to return to the rotation
: next weekend. Kuo could then emerge as the replacement for
: Mark Hendrickson, who has been sent to the bullpen.
: "[Kuo] deserves to have another chance," said Little. "At least one or
: two more, and maybe 10 years worth."
: Little was honest explaining why it took the Dodgers five months to
: figure out that Kuo should be a starter.
: "Maybe he's showed where his strongest desires were, but the situation
: in Spring Training, after all of the arm problems of the past, we were
: a little bit scared to use him for a length of time," Little said. "But
: he showed he was healthy at Triple-A starting."
: Kuo was demoted to Triple-A twice after unsuccessful bullpen stints
: with the Dodgers this year, and was told to start at Las Vegas
: because added innings would provide additional opportunity to
: refine his command. As recently as two weeks ago, management
: still considered him a reliever. But the unraveling of the
: back end of the Dodgers rotation and Kuo's success starting
: at Las Vegas led to Friday night's assignment.
: And persistence kept him in the sport after he suffered his
: elbow injury in spectacularly tragic fashion. In his professional
: debut on April 10, 2000, he struck out seven of the 10 batters he
: faced, blew out his elbow ligament, made two more pitches to end
: the inning, then underwent a first Tommy John surgery.
: He resumed pitching 14 months later, but problems persisted and he
: required the procedure again, forcing him to miss the entire 2003
: season. He also underwent another operation to clear scar tissue
: from the transplanted ligament, a common side effect. He pitched
: in only three games in 2004 and entered the 2005 season with a
: total of 40 1/3 innings pitched in five years.
: Finally healthy, Kuo made up for lost time with a meteoric rise
: last year that began at Class A Vero Beach and ended with a September
: callup to the Major Leagues from Double-A. This is his third stint
: with the big-league club this year.
