※ 引述《bigbear (阪神命!)》之铭言： : ※ [本文转录自 Baseball 看板] : 作者: DiscowloKi (抠落去) 看板: Baseball : 标题: [新闻] Expected or not, Wang takes ace role : 时间: Mon Oct 2 15:08:04 2006 : 由於资格不足，不能在王版po文，希望善心人士帮转 ! : Expected or not, Wang takes ace role : Sophomore righty on for Game 1 ahead of big-name staffmates 期待与否，王将是王牌 二年级生的右投手在第一战重要比赛先发 : NEW YORK -- Six months ago, it would be hard to have imagined anybody other : than Randy Johnson or Mike Mussina getting the nod in Game 1 of the Yankees' : postseason. 六个月前，很难想像洋基季後赛第一战不是RJ或Moose先发。 : But when the first pitch is thrown at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night, it : will come out of the hand of Chien-Ming Wang, New York's unlikeliest of aces. 但星期二晚在洋基球场的比赛，第一球将由阿民投出。 : "I would never think that," Wang said. "I was surprised." "我从来都没想过"阿民说。"我感到很惊讶"。 : Even Joe Torre admitted that he wouldn't have envisioned such a scenario : before the season. 甚至Torre也承认在季前他从来没想过会这样。 : "I don't think we could have ever dreamed that would be the case," Torre : said. "The big part of it is his personality and confidence in himself." "我想我们从不会想过这样的情况"Torre说。"主要是因为他的投球性格和自信"。 : Given that the team nixed Wang's involvement in the World Baseball Classic : because of concerns over his right shoulder -- which caused him to miss two : months in the second half of 2005 -- it was unthinkable that he would turn : into the staff's workhorse. "因考量到他右肩(2005休息两个月)，所以球队拒绝阿民参与经典赛，没想到本季阿民 是工作量最多的" : But that's precisely what happened, as Wang led the Yankees in innings : pitched (218) and wins in just his second season. With a 19-6 record and 3.63 : ERA, Wang posted the best season of any Yankees starter, earning his Game 1 : assignment. 当阿民是洋基投手中投局数和胜场数最多的，它就是这样发生的。19胜6败，3.63era， 阿民本季是洋基先发投手中最好的，也得到首战的先发。 : "We always thought he had great stuff -- it was just a matter of having a : little better command of the strike zone and not putting himself in tough : counts," Mussina said. "He's been able to do that. He does what he needs to : do to win ballgames." Moose说:我们总觉得他有很好的球质，能够不断的攻击好球带，且不会让他自己在球数 上落後。他可以做到这点，并且赢得比赛。 : Wang, one of only two pitchers in the Majors to record 19 victories this : season, will be making his second career postseason start on Tuesday. The : Yankees went 22-11 in his 33 starts this season, giving his teammates : tremendous confidence in him when he takes the hill. 阿民，两位19胜投手之一，将在星期二作他第二次在季後赛出赛。在他33次的先发中， 洋基战蹟是22胜11败，当他上场，就能够给队友相当大的信心。 : "He's been our savior," said catcher Jorge Posada. "He's stayed consistent, : he's stayed healthy, and for me, he's the Cy Young Award winner." Posada说：他是我们的救世主，他稳定表现、保持健康，对我来说，他是赛扬奖得主。 : Wang may not finish at the top of the Cy Young vote, as Minnesota's Johan : Santana -- his opponent in Game 1 and the Majors' other 19-game winner -- : will likely take home the award for the second time in his career. But Wang : and his teammates aren't concerned with individual awards as much as winning : the World Series. 阿民可能没办法拿下赛扬奖，因为另一个19胜的对手Santana，可能会拿下他生涯第二 座赛扬奖。但阿民和他的队友并不在意个人奖项，因为世界大赛冠军才是最重要的。 : "We've leaned on him all year, and he's come up big for us," Derek Jeter : said. "We just want him to continue what he's been doing, not try to change : anything. If he can do that, I like our chances with him on the mound." Jeter说：我们认识他一整年了，而他将为我们担负重任，我们只要他继续保持他的作 风，不要改变任何事，假如他可以办到，我们乐见他上场。 : Starting Wang in Game 1 makes perfect sense, given his 11-3 record and 3.03 : ERA at Yankee Stadium this season. Should the series go the distance, Wang : would also be lined up to pitch Game 5 in the Bronx on Sunday. 王第一战先发有很好的理由，因为他在主场11胜3败，3.03era，假如会打到第五战，王 还可以再上场。 : Of course, he also went 4-0 with a 2.22 ERA in four starts in domed stadiums, : so there wasn't a bad spot in which to line up the right-hander. His only : outing against the Twins in 2006 came at the Metrodome on April 16, when he : held Minnesota to one earned run over seven innings to earn his first victory : of the season. (讲到王在室内球场的成绩，还有本季一场对上双城的战蹟........) : When pitching coach Ron Guidry informed Wang last week that he would be : starting the postseason opener, the 26-year-old right-hander took the news as : though Guidry had just told him that he would be throwing a bullpen in an : hour. : 当投手教练Guidry告诉阿民，他将在季後赛首战先发，这位26岁的右投手看起来就像是 认为投手教练跟他说，他将在牛棚投一小时。 "Gator told him, and he sort of shrugged his shoulders," Torre said. "I'm : sure there will be some butterflies on Tuesday when they start introducing : people, but this kid really doesn't let you know how he's feeling. He's : certainly behaved well on the field." Torre说：Gator告诉他，他就只是耸耸肩而已(按: Gator:你要在第一场投球喔 王:喔) 我确定当星期二介绍球员时，现场会是多麽热闹，但你看不出这孩子的心情如何，他必 定表现出很好的样子来。 : Posada estimates that 85 percent of Wang's pitches are sinkers, which Kevin : Millar described as "bowling balls" last month. He has pitched at least six : innings in 24 of his 33 starts this season, giving the Yankees length in : several situations in which the bullpen had been overworked. Posada预估王的投球有百分之85是sinker，这上个月被Kevin Millar形容是保龄球的球 种。阿民本季33次先发有24次至少投6局，给了工作超量的洋基牛棚喘息的机会。 : Wang's ability to brush pressure aside might be his greatest strength when it : comes to this type of assignment. Although his command of the English : language has improved during his two years in New York, Wang still doesn't : speak it fluently. Because of that, he isn't put under the same media : spotlight that his teammates are, allowing him to approach a start of this : magnitude like any other outing. 王可把压力摆一边的能力，也是他最大的实力可以担负这样的任务。虽然他的英文能力 在这两年有明显进步，王还是没能说的很流利。但也因为这样，他不用承担和他队友一 样的镁光灯的压力，使他能专力投球。 : "The way he goes about his business, he knows what he's got to do to be : successful," Posada said. "He doesn't get caught up in anything. Every time : he goes out there, he's prepared for the job at hand." Posada说：他知道他要做什麽才能成功，他就只要投他的球而已。他不受任何事困扰， 每次他上场，他就准备好他的工作。 : "The hype of the first game is what you have to get through, and I don't : think it's going to bother him," Mussina said. "I assume he's just going to : go out and pitch like he has all year." Moose说：首战的重任是你要去完成的，但我不认为这会影响他。我想他一定可以跟本 季的投球一样。 : Wang will also be able to lean on his experience from last October, when he : pitched Game 2 of the Division Series in Anaheim against the Angels. Wang : took the loss, allowing four runs -- only one of which was earned -- over 6 : 2/3 innings. 王也可以依靠他去年季後赛的经验，在ALDS第二战对天使投了6又2/3局，失了四分，但 只有一次自责。 : "I might get a little bit nervous," Wang said. "Last year will help me this : year. I'm very excited." 阿民说：也许我会有一点点的紧张，但去年的经验可以帮我，我很兴奋。 : Of course, as Torre likes to point out, how could anyone tell if Wang : actually was nervous? The stone-faced pitcher looks the same while he's : throwing a shutout as he does when he's getting cuffed around -- though the : latter hasn't happened many times this season. 当然，就像Torre说的，要怎麽看的出来王是真的紧张呢? 这扑克牌脸的投手即使投出 完封表现还是一样。 : "He's had such a good year and been so consistent doing what he does," : Mussina said. "He deserves to pitch the first game whether he's in his second : year or his 10th year." : Moose说：他有很好的一季，而且表现如此稳定。他值得在第一战先发，而不管他是不 是二年级生或是十年的老将。 "He's our No. 1," Posada said. "He's the guy we want to follow." Posada说：他是我们的王牌，他是一个我们想去追随的人。 --
