来源:http://tinyurl.com/2b52zs Enough with the heavy metal closers! 受够重金属音乐了! So many closers enter the game to heavy metal, there should be umlauts over the names on their jerseys. 许多球队终结者会伴随着重金属音乐进场,歌曲名称应绣在球员球衣背後的名字上方 San Diego's Trevor Hoffman enters to AC/DC's "Hells Bells." Baltimore's Chris Ray uses Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dream." Minnesota's Joe Nathan uses Dio's "Stand Up and Shout." White Sox closer Bobby Jenks uses P.O.D.'s "Boom." Texas' Eric Gagne uses Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle." Toronto's B.J . Ryan uses Slipknot's "Duality." Milwaukee's Francisco Cordero uses Saliva's "Click, Click Boom," while fellow Brewer Derrick Turnbow uses "Fuel" by Metallica. Yankee Mariano Rivera and Met Billy Wagner both use "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. And Washington's Chad Cordero uses "King Nothing" by Metallica. 以下是10队守护神&一位Setup man主题曲 教士队Trevor Hoffman-"Hells Bells" by AC/DC 金莺队Chirs Ray-"Sweet Dream" by Marilyn Manson 双城队Joe Nathan-"Stand Up and Shout" by Dio 白袜队Bobby Jenks-"Boom" by P.O.D 游骑兵队Eric Gagne-"Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses' 蓝鸟队B.J Ryan-"Duality" by Slipknot 酿酒人队Francisco Cordero-"Click, Click Boom" by Saliva 在他上场前的Setup man,Derrick Turnbow-"Fuel" by Metallica 洋基队Mariano Rivera & 大都会Billy Wagner-"Enter Sandman" by Metallica 国民队Chad Cordero-"King Nothing" by Metallica It's to the point where a save situation requires a lead of three runs or less and a music-sharing deal with Metallica. 比赛进行至後半段,球队领先三分或少於三分救援点情况出现,上面所述的歌曲会从球 场广播系统拨放出来. I suppose this music is part of the intimidation process. But if so, Metallica didn't provide enough intimidation to help Turnbow's 6.87 ERA and eight blown saves last year. Perhaps something nice and soothing, like Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" or a little Marvin Gaye, would work better. Sure, it might not get the adrenaline pumping. But on the other hand, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" could lull the batter into a deep state of relaxation, allowing a closer to blow a strike past him. 我猜重金属音乐可杀对方士气,但果真如此,为何Metallica的"Fuel"并没杀到对方,反而 导致Turnbow去年战绩为6.87防御率 & 8次救援失败.也许,歌曲悦耳轻柔些像 "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller或曲风带点Marvin Gaye风味,效果会好些. 当然,此类歌曲可能没办法让你肾上腺素急速加快.但另方面,Israel Kamakawiwo'ole 版本的"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"具催眠功能,打者听了会进入很深很深的放松 状态,让守护神们速球轻松地超越打者挥棒速度. "But then I might fall asleep, too," Seattle closer J.J. Putz said. 水手守护神J.J. Putz却说"我可能也会睡着" Fair point. Putz, by the way, enters the game to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," saying that the metal music fires him up. Wagner says the same thing: "It always gives you a little extra adrenaline when you're not feeling your best." Wagner isn't a big metal fan, but "Enter Sandman" has been his theme song since his days in Houston. "I never even picked it -- it was given to me," he said. "Jeff Bagwell picked it." 不错论点.Putz说"金属音乐使他全身血液沸腾",顺道一提Putz主题歌-"Thnderstruck" by AC/DC.Wagner表示相同看法"当你感觉今天投球状况不好时,金属乐提供你多一点 肾上腺素."Wanger非金属乐迷.但"Enter Sandman"从他在太空人队时就是他招牌歌. Wanger解释"我从没挑那首当主题曲,是Jeff Bagwell选的,从此那就是我的歌了" But why does the theme music always have to be metal? Must everyone have the same style? Can't anyone be original and carve out their own identity? If there's room enough for 265-pound Bobby Jenks on the mound, can't John Williams squeeze onto the playlist with AC/DC? It's bad enough the Cubs must endure their bullpen; must the rest of us suffer through a Motley Crue as well? 为何主题曲必须总是金属乐?每个人需相同类型的歌吗?难道不能为他们独创首歌并 刻绘出彼此投球风格?投手丘既然有足够位置给265磅重的Bobby Jenks投球了,难道没 办法把John Williams脍炙人口的配乐塞进除了AC/DC外的拨放名单中?小熊队要忍受 那样遭的牛棚已经很惨了,现场观众仍要被Motley Crue的歌荼毒吗? I don't blame the closers. As Wagner points out, they don't always choose their own music. Often the people deciding on the music are some guys up in the sound booth, and they just copy each other. Hoffman and Rivera have heavy metal played, so every other closer gets heavy metal, too. 我没要责怪守护神们.因为Wagner指出"他们并非挑自己喜欢的音乐".通常是音控室的 人帮他们决定的并每个球队都延续相同风格.Hoffman & Rivera已金属乐作代表,所以 其他人也就是金属乐. It's enough to make you envy the batters. At least they're wearing helmets with ear flaps. 这时你会很羡幕打者的,至少他们打击头盔上是带有耳罩的. Of course, not all closers rely on metal bands. Detroit's Todd Jones chose "Last One Standing," a song by Bart Millard and the popular Christian rock band Mercy Me. 当然,并非所有守护神都倚赖金属乐团来热血沸腾的.老虎队的Todd Jones挑"Last One Standing" by Bart Millard & 福音摇滚乐团-Mercy Me当主题曲. "He was kidding me one day about why don't I come out to one of Mercy Me's songs" Jones explained in an e-mail. "Before their last album I would have described them as 30-year-old soccer-mom music -- in a good way. Well, they changed that when they wrote 'Last Man Standing' off their album 'Coming Up to Breathe.' It's got a double meaning. It's about how as Christians we're supposed to stand up when it's tough to stand up for what we believe in. As a closer it's tough sometimes to go out there, but you must stand up and your goal is to be the last one standing. It's OK to stumble but don't fall. And when I close games I do that and that is why it's perfect for me." "有天Jones跟我开玩笑的说为何他出场时不试试Mercy Me的歌." Jones在Email中说明选此歌的理由"他们上一张专辑前,我将他们视为三十岁家庭主 妇听的歌.当新专辑Coming Up To Breath中的"Last Man Standing"创作出来时, 他们曲风改变了.这曲名有双重意义.一是有关身为基督教徒们-当你面对困境时,你很 难挺身而出去突破它,此时,你更应勇敢积极去面对.另一则关於终结者这角色-有时你 上场都处在垒上有人的情况,但你要抬起头直起身去克服它,你的目标就是比赛要在我 手上结束.有时候上演一下Jones剧场是可以的,但不可以砸锅.歌曲本身意涵跟我本身 投球方式很像,这是我选它的原因." "Last Man Standing" rocks hard enough to work for Jones -- proving you can pump people up without relying on one narrow genre of bands. What we need to do is think way outside the box. "Last Man Standing"非重金属音乐对Jones非常有效-它证明你不需要把歌局限在某 一类上,同样也可振奋人心.我们需要想些其他非重金属类型的音乐. The fourth movement from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (aka "Ode to Joy") is the most inspiring piece of music ever written that doesn't involve Rocky Balboa. If that isn't sufficient to ready you for protecting a three-run lead, I don't know what is. But if Beethoven is a little too high-brow for guys who think the highest form of comedy is lighting their farts, there are plenty of other options. 除了Rocky Balboa的配乐外,贝多芬第九号交响曲第四乐章可以说最震撼人心的音乐. 如果这歌仍不足以守住三分的领先,我不知道哪一首可以.但假如贝多芬的音乐被有些 认为最好笑的喜剧是让大家听不到屁声的人视为有点高级的音乐,我们仍有许多选择. Randy Edelman's theme music from "Dragon" is so emotion-stirring that it is often used in the trailers for other movies. Surely it could stir up enough adrenaline for Gagne to protect a three-run lead. Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A Major Opus 90 got Dave Stoller to ride 60 miles per hour in "Breaking Away" -- perhaps it could help Rivera crack 93 mph on the gun? Cordero would feel unhittable -- even if facing Barry Bonds -- as long as the "Rocky" theme played. Jenks' chest would swell to match his stomach if R. Kelly's "The World's Greatest" played whenever he appeared. What could be more appropriate for Nathan's entrance than the Toreador March from Carmen? Unless, of course, he came in running barefoot to "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis. Randy Edelman替Dragon的配乐可让每个人情绪高昂,所以很多电影预告都会用它. 这配乐的确可激起Gagne足够肾上腺素守住三分领先.Breaking Away这部电影配乐- 孟德尔颂的第四号交响曲作品90-让Dave Stoller脚踏车骑到60 mph,也许它能帮助 Rivera投出93 mph的球速?只要洛基(Rocky)的主题曲拨放着,即使面对强棒Barry Bonds,Cordero仍是所向无敌.如果R.Kelly的"The World's Greatest"拨放着,无论何 时Jenks上场,他的胸部会膨胀到跟他的胃一样大.哪首歌会比卡门的斗牛士进行曲 (Toreador March)更适合Nathan呢?除非拨放的是Vangelis的"Chariots of Fire", 然後Nathan赤脚跑进场,否则斗牛士进行曲是最配他的. Hells bells, you could score an entire league of closers, plus their lefty and righty setup men, by downloading John Williams' greatest hits -- beginning with the themes to "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and running all the way to "Saving Private Ryan" and the 1984 Olympic Fanfare. 除了AC/DC的Hells bells(绝命钟声),可尝试John William脍炙人口的配乐-从星际大战 (Star Wars)开始,法柜奇兵(Raiders of the Lost Ark),抢救雷恩大兵(Saving Private Ryan)一直到1984年奥运主题曲(1984 Olympic Fanfare)-来当全部终结者及 他们个别左手及右手的Setup men的绝命钟声. So let's exit Sandman, say farewell to the Jungle and dethrone Queensryche. You don't need Ozzy Osbourne to snap bats in half. 所以'离开'"Enter Sandman"吧,跟"Welcome to the Jungle"说'再见'及 '推翻' Queensryche这乐团.投手不需要Ozzy Osbourne的歌来让打者的棒子断成两截的. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 如有翻译错误请告知 喜欢自己编辑MLB影片的人 可以参考作者的意见 文章最後一段其实酸度很高的 "Enter Sandman" 作者故意用 "exit Sandman" "Welcome to the Jungle"作者故意用 "say farewell to the Jungle" "Queen"sryche作者故意前面多加 dethrone 感谢网友Kee32来信指教 --
