When the Yankees Need His Best, Wang Delivers His Worst By TYLER KEPNER Published: August 9, 2007 When you have Halladay on the mound, you know you have to control it,” Yankees Manager Joe Torre said. “You know you have to keep them down. When we couldn’t do that, you realized it was a tall order.” Wang suffered through the worst performance of his career, lasting just two and two-thirds innings in a 15-4 rout by the Toronto Blue Jays. It was the shortest of Wang’s 71 career starts, and he allowed a career-high eight runs. For the Yankees, who had won five in a row, it was a dreary way to start a challenging chunk of their schedule. Starting Friday in Cleveland, the Yankees play 17 of 20 games against four of the best teams in the American League. “Right now, we’re probably as good a team as we’ve been all year,” Torre said. “ We’ll see how good that is when we test ourselves against the better teams.” Despite the blowout, the Yankees left town with another series victory. They were 21-8 in a stretch against games teams that were under . 500 at the All-Star Game break. “We played well, we have some momentum and we have some guys swinging very hot bats right now,” Johnny Damon said. "I think we’re feeling pretty good about our chances.” The effectiveness of Wang’s sinker is muted, to some degree, by playing on artificial turf, where ground balls get through the infield quicker. In 10 career starts on turf, Wang has a 5.17 earned run average; his E.R.A. on grass is 3.64. But this game was less about the playing surface than Wang’s location. He was consistently up in the strike zone with his sinker, and when he went to a slider, as he did against Vernon Wells in the third, he often hung it. Wells slammed that pitch to left for a double, one of five hits off Wang in a five-run inning. That followed a three-run first in which Matt Stairs and Alex Rios doubled. Wang allowed no home runs, but the Blue Jays collected five doubles off him, among their nine hits. 以下是小王的访问@@ "Everything was down the middle,” Wang said, adding later, "The low ball was too low, in the dirt.” Wang said he was not bothered by his troublesome fingernail, which has split because of the pressure he applies on his sinker. He said his arm angle was too low, and he could not remember a start so bad since a game for Class AA Trenton in 2004. 省略了很多 因为其中说了很多数据以及之前大家有探讨过的东西 简单来说就是洋基现在棒子火热 Torre以及Damon觉得这场比赛并不会打击他们的士气 Damon还说这几场有几个小子的棒子正火热(大概指小卡布与小Q吧XD) 他相信他们不会因为这场就丧失信心 至於小王说到今天的表现 他的低球太低 无法进入好球带 而小王并不觉得手指甲的伤是造成投不好的原因 小王认为原因应该是投球手臂不够水准(不太清楚low 是指说低还是低劣@@) 大概整篇大意是这样@@ 如有需要加强的请各位大大指教@@ http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/09/sports/baseball/09yankees.html?_r=1&oref=slogin (当做练习自己英文@@) -- ╭ 哪里～都那麽熟了～ ╮ 口桀口桀... ╭ 谢谢你们来参加我们的婚礼～ ◢███◣ ◢███◣ ◢███◣ ◢███◣ ◢███◣ ▄▄▄▄▄▆████◤ ███◥◥ ██◤◥██(◥◥◥◥█● █████ █████ ███ + ▆█▆█◥ ●▄●▄██ ◥████◤◥███◤◤ ██◤ ◤ ◥︺███◤◥－███◤ ◢ 同梯 ◣ ◢ 室友◣ ◢ 哥哥 ◣ ◢▼██◣ ◢▏█▉◣ --
