※ 引述《yyhong68 (come every now and then)》之铭言： : John Harper : Chamberlain raises tempers, Chien-Ming settles score 张伯伦惹火上身，王建民冷冻比分 : Friday, August 31st 2007, 4:00 AM : On a day when Chien-Ming Wang put the Red Sox to sleep for this series, : dominating them in his unglamorous way, Joba Chamberlain managed to awaken : the enemy with a couple of Wild Thing fastballs over the head of Kevin : Youkilis. 在王建民以不怎麽迷人的方式压制红袜队，使他们在本系列战毫无收获的同一天， Joba Chamberlain 则以投向 Kevin Youkilis 头部的几颗速球，企图唤醒敌队。 : It remains to be seen which proves more significant, but there's no doubt : about which stirred more emotion yesterday. 没有人知道这两个人截然不同的表现方式之中，何者较有影响力；然而有件事情无庸 置疑 -- 昨天有人惹火上身。 : Already you get the feeling that Chamberlain is going to have a way of : always making headlines, from his 98-mph fastballs to his animated fist : pumps that follow a big strikeout. 在这场比赛之前，你也许已经习惯 Chamberlain 靠着他的 98mph 速球，或是他在 投出重要三振後的挥拳动作上新闻头条。 : It's crazy for the Red Sox to think he was throwing some sort of purpose : pitches toward Youkilis, just as it was silly for home plate umpire Angel : Hernandez to eject him yesterday, but when you throw that hard and you've : already made a big rookie splash for the Yankees, perception is often fueled : by emotion. 对认定那几颗球是故意投向 Youkilis 的红袜队来说，这样的想法有点疯癫； 而判定驱逐出场的主审 Angel Hernandez 也是差不多的笨。 不过要是直球球速如此刚猛，而加入 Yankees 的表现又这麽犀利时， 难免让人被情绪冲昏了头而影响正确的判断。 : The Yankees surely weren't going to try to rile the Sox in the ninth inning : as they were sweeping them out of town with yesterday's 5-0 victory. And : Chamberlain's body language on the mound may suggest a bit of swagger, but : does anyone really think that a kid who has been in the big leagues for a : month is going to take it upon himself to deliver some sort of payback for : Alex Rodriguez getting plunked on Tuesday night? 洋基完全没有在九局把红袜惹毛的理由，特别是他们靠着昨天那场 5-0 的胜利在这 个系列战中清台。也许 Chamberlain 在场上有点拿翘，不过对刚升上 mlb 一个月的 菜鸟而言，要将它解释为为周二 A-Rod 被丢的报负，似乎也不太合理。 : Ah, but when a team is getting whipped by its big-brother rival, in this : case a Red Sox team trying to erase the memories of last year's late-season : collapse, it will look for anything as a rallying cry. 不过这两队互为仇敌，再加上去年红袜队也是在後半段的比赛中崩盘，而被洋基逆转， 任何大的动作都会被他们视为挑衅。 : To be fair, Youkilis had a right to be upset. It has to be scary to have a : couple of 98-mph fastballs sail over your head, so it wasn't terribly : surprising the Sox were screaming at Chamberlain from the dugout, and : later using his wildness as a reason not to focus on how thoroughly : Yankee pitching throttled them in this series. 平心而论，Youkilis 是有理由生气。向着头部飞来的 98mph 速球，真的挺恐怖。 而红袜球员在休息区内对 Chamberlain 怪吼，并在赛後以对此的批判，模糊本系列 战中受洋基投手群压制，也是很合理的反应。 : Does any of it matter? Maybe we'll find out when these teams meet again in : Boston in a couple of weeks. 当这两队数周後，在 Boston 再度碰头时，我们就会知道这几颗球究竟造成什麽影响。 : For the moment, however, if we can get past all the Joba hysteria, it was : the quiet man from Taiwan who left the most lasting impression yesterday. : For the second time this season Wang flirted with a no-hitter, throwing : six-plus hitless innings before surrendering a hard single to right to : Mike Lowell. 撇开关於 Joba 的情绪反应，昨天的比赛中最令人印象深刻的，恐怕还是那个来自 台湾，沉默的投手。这是王建民本季第二次差点投出无安打比赛。红袜队直到第七 局才由 Mike Lowell 击出右外野强劲一垒安打。 : It was just as well, from the Yankees' point of view. Partly because of : four walks, Wang's pitch count was so high that the Yankees found themselves : rooting against a no-hitter as they had a night earlier with Roger Clemens. : Indeed, Wang wound up coming out after seven innings because he had thrown : 103 pitches. 对洋基来说，这并不是太坏的事情。与前一日 Roger Clemens 的比赛类似， 王建民昨日送出四次保送使得投球数量偏高，这也让教练团面临着挑战无安打比赛， 或者是投球数量到就下场的两难抉择。事实上，王建民昨日在七局後下场，是因为 用球数量到达 103 球。 : "You have to give him a shot but you worry more about him than a no-hitter," : said pitching coach Ron Guidry. "He's been doing a lot of pitching this : season and he's a guy we're going to count on the rest of the way." 投手教练 Ron Guidry 说 "你必需让他有挑战记录的机会。不过比起一场无安打比 赛，投手的健康对球队才是更重要的事。王建民本季投球量已经不少，而且在往後 的比赛中，我们还是要依赖他。" : That was Guidry's way of saying that Wang has reestablished himself at : least as the Yankees' co-ace, along with Andy Pettitte. In raising his : record to 16-6, Wang delivered a second straight dominant performance : that indicated he has fought his way past something of a confidence crisis : that arose after he was bombed by the Blue Jays in a start three weeks ago. 当 Guidry 这样说，表示王建民再度建立起不下於 Andy Pettitte 的王牌形象。 在提升个人战积至 16W-6L 的同时，他三周前被 BJ 爆击而发生的信心危机也在 连续二场压制对手的表现中化解。 : "That Toronto game messed him up in his mind," Guidry said. "He had never : been hit around like he was in that game, and it affected him. He had another : bad start, and he wasn't being aggressive. Guidry 说 "在 Toronto 的那场比赛确实让他失了神。他从未被如此痛击过，而这样 的表现确实影响了他。之後的那一场先发也投得不怎麽样，他完全没有侵略性" : "We worked on some things. He quickened his delivery a little, created more : momentum going toward the plate and started being aggressive again. He's : throwing his sinker harder than normal now, and it's not moving quite as : much but he's controlling it better." "我们做了一些调整: 稍微加快了投球动作，增加向前移动的动量；培养杀气。 他的伸卡球比之前更快，变化虽然较小，不过控球也变好了" : Wang was consistently around 95 mph on the radar gun, but it's more than : that. He has begun to incorporate his off-speed stuff, a slider and a : changeup, to keep hitters off-balance, and the results were rather dramatic : yesterday. 王建民的速球一直在 95mph 左右打转，但他的武器不仅於此。他开始在比赛中投 些变化球 -- 滑球和变速球 -- 让打者失去平衡，而结果就像昨天的比赛。 : The Red Sox have hit Wang well in the past, and David Ortiz has been a : nightmare - 12-for-24 with two home runs going into yesterday. On this day, : however, Big Papi went 0-for-3, striking out swinging twice and grounding : out to second, as he was fooled by off-speed stuff. 红袜打王建民一向顺手，而 David Ortiz 对他则是 24 支 12，并击出两发全垒打。 然而昨天他的表现是 3 支 0, 吃两 K 和一颗游滚。他完全被变化球愚弄。 : "The way he pitched to Papi was really impressive," said Torre. "He's really : changed the look of the way he pitches." Torre 说 "他料理 Papi 的方式让人印象深刻，他的投球策略也与以往不同。" : As usual, Wang didn't say much. 王建民照旧话不多。 : "He's a very, very modest kid," said Guidry. "But he knows what he has to do. : You've gotta pitch your best game to beat those guys the way he did." Guidry 说 "他真的是个相当稳重的年轻人。但他知道自己该做什麽。 你必需要拿出真功夫来面对这些对手，这正是他做到的事。" : It punctuated probably the best pitching series the Yankees have had all : season. They may not catch the Red Sox, but they surely gave them something : to think about should they meet in October. Something more than those two : fastballs to the backstop. 这大概也是洋基本季中，投手表现最突出的一个系列战。他们也许无法在美联东区 追上红袜；但若这两队在季後赛碰头，本系列赛值得思考的事情，恐怕不只有那两 颗直击护墙的直球。 : [email protected] : http://tinyurl.com/yq86v6 --- 不知道是我太累，还是这篇文章本来就不好翻 @@ 有错请多指正 -- 鬼压床怎麽办 骑上去啊 Blog: http://blog.roodo.com/clifflu/ Since October, 2006 Photo Galelry: http://clifflu.pixnet.net/ 没有了 T_T --
