七月時看到，記者訪問總仔與咖啡(節錄) http://goo.gl/puw6xi I asked him what was on his mind, what he was concerned about."Is it all about the hitting?" He said,"I’m working hard. I’m in a battle. It’s been hard." I said,"Well, you know what, you can do hard. You’re going to do hard." I asked him what else was bothering him. "Are you thinking about going to Triple-A?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "You’re not. You’re not." "It seemed to help." "A lot," Polanco said with a shy grin. "In the back of my mind, I was thinking about [being sent to Class AAA]. I’ll be honest. I was a little worried," Polanco said. "But then [Hurdle] told me, ‘You’re not going to fail. You’re going to play. You’re going to play here. Don’t worry about that.’ After that, I feel a lot better. Since then, I’ve just been me and play hard. I do OK. I’ m getting my swing back. I’m getting my timing. I’m seeing the pitches better." 總仔看出了咖啡的憂慮，並給了他信心加持 而在那前後的逐月成績變化 HR BB June 0 9 .200 .281 .259 July 1 14 .273 .363 .424 August 3 9 .343 .398 .525 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Sullivan在Fangraph也寫道(節錄) Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte are so good the Pirates would be in the conversation for baseball's best outfield no matter who the third guy was. But more often than not, the third guy has been Gregory Polanco, and Polanco came with enormous hype. A few weeks shy of his 24th birthday, Polanco looks like he might be realizing his potential, with power, a quick swing, and a diminishing rate of groundballs. The last two months, against lefties, Polanco has slugged .458. He has five walks and 12 strikeouts, and five extra-base hits. (包含打了Kershaw那一發leadoff shot) In specific, Gregory Polanco has seemingly made a good amount of progress against lefties, and that used to be a major stumbling block. http://goo.gl/fXMmsS Sullivan認為咖啡面對左投的進展，是讓他越來越有競爭力的關鍵。 §§ 今天打出擴大領先的安打，又上演兩次助殺，太帥啦 C□ --
