PETERSBURG -- Melky Cabrera hasn't seen many hits scoot through of late, but in Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long's eyes, the center fielder's swing hasn't been as off as his recent skid might indicate. 小卡布最近没啥安打 打击长教练认为他的挥击没啥太大问题 Playing a hunch, Long went back through the Yankees' recent game video and confirmed that Cabrera has been putting decent shots in play. They were just going to the wrong spots, prompting a conversation on Tuesday in which Cabrera was advised to try and rap the ball back up the middle more. 在看过片後 他和小卡布谈 希望他多往中间一点 "The swing mechanics are pretty good overall," Long said. "It's the mental approach to the game that we're trying to work on. We're trying to change the plan a little bit and go another way." 长教练说 小卡布的挥击姿势整体来说没问题 但心态要调整 改变计画 打反方向 Cabrera, batting .279 entering play on Tuesday, was just 5-for-24 on the Yankees' seven-game homestand against the Orioles and Blue Jays. Of particular note to Long was Cabrera's propensity for hitting the ball to the right side. 小卡部最近的成绩... Cabrera grounded out four times to second base and four times to first base on the homestand, which did include its bright points -- Cabrera had a game-winning single in the 10th inning on Saturday and tied a career high with five RBIs, helping erase some of the sting of a disappointing final regular-season home series. 小卡布四次二垒方向滚地球 四次一垒方向 "Usually, mechanical things would be related to something like a tentative swing," Long said. "That's not the case with Melky. He's hitting hard ground balls -- they're just at people. If you took all those balls and put them up the middle instead of him hitting them to the right side, he'd probably have had seven or eight more hits." 长教练说 小卡布没有姿势问题 他很强劲 只是都找到手套 如果往中间打一点 他会多七到八支安打 Long said that Cabrera was very receptive to the tweaks, nodding and telling the hitting coach, "Today, everything is up the middle." 小卡布了解 告诉教练 今天都会往中间 "We talked a little today," Cabrera said. "He told me, 'Too many balls to the right side.' The swing is no problem. I just swing every day and work." 小卡布说 今天我们聊了一下 他告诉我右边的球太多 Celebrate good times: Should the Yankees clinch a playoff spot on Tuesday, there will be celebrating in the visitors' clubhouse at Tropicana Field. 如果礼拜二拿到季後赛门票 他们将在纯品康纳球场的客队休息室庆祝 The Yankees' magic number for ensuring postseason play stood at one entering the game against the Devil Rays, and manager Joe Torre said that he signed off on his club spraying a little bubbly in anticipation of October. 现在进入季後赛的魔术数字 M1 老托说想看到他的球队洒点泡泡 "We'd like to be able to do it ourselves and enjoy it," Torre said. "It's something to be proud of, getting to the postseason, especially with what went on this year." 老托说 我们可以靠自己进入季後赛 这是可以感到骄傲的 尤其是今年 Since being a season-low eight games under .500 on May 29 at 21-29, the Yankees went 69-37 before Tuesday to lead the Major Leagues in wins and winning percentage (.651). 5/29 胜率还不到五成 21胜29败 接下来战绩69胜37败胜率领先大联盟 Oz aftermath: The Yankees' rookies left New York in Broadway-caliber "The Wizard of Oz" costumes on Monday, trotting out a faux yellow-brick road to the team bus and signing autographs for fans in full homage to the 1939 Judy Garland film. 洋基的菜鸟日 A day later at Tropicana Field, though, most players were happy to just hold the memories as their only souvenirs of the evening. The rookies attended a Jason Giambi-hosted party in full outfit before finally retiring for the evening. 大吉主持一个派对 让菜鸟们穿全套服装参加 "And I got rid of that thing as fast as I could," said left-hander Chase Wright, who was assigned to portray Glinda, the Good Witch of the East. 扮演好仙女的四轰男说他尽速逃离现场 Right-hander Ian Kennedy's costume might have been a little too good. Outfitted as Dorothy, Kennedy learned that he still holds quite a bit of anonymity when the veterans forced players to sign autographs outside Yankee Stadium; fans clamored for the Cowardly Lion, Joba Chamberlain, en masse, but one asked Kennedy, "Who are you, anyway?" 这些菜鸟还要帮球迷签名 球迷还问甘乃迪 他是谁 "Maybe the costume was just that good," Kennedy said. "I think you should get more attention dressed as Dorothy as a guy. It was pretty fun. But obviously, everyone wanted Joba." 他说 也许是因为变装太成功 On a more baseball-related topic, Kennedy is still feeling the tightness in his upper back move around, and he's not expected to pitch for the remainder of the regular season. He will continue to travel and work out with the Yankees in the postseason and could be added to the roster if the club moves deep into October. 至於棒球方面 他上背部感到有点紧 不期望接下来能上场 但仍跟着球队 Breaking the "Rules:" As Torre confirmed in New York on Monday, the Yankees plan to use Chamberlain on back-to-back days at some point in their final stretch to prepare him for a similar assignment in the postseason. 星期一老托宣布推出天天张 That could happen as soon as this week, though Torre said he would wait until the Yankees clinched a playoff spot before experimenting with the 22-year-old setup man. 最快这个礼拜就可以看到 "Once we win a game, we can do a lot of stuff," Torre said. 老托只要赢球 有很多事可以做 Additionally, the Yankees plan to schedule a day for Roger Clemens (left hamstring tweak) to throw in a simulated game sometime before the playoffs begin. Torre said that he had no problem in waiting on Clemens as a member of his potential American League Division Series rotation because of the 45-year-old's impressive resume. 计画让老克在季後赛之前 投一场模拟比赛 "We're waiting on him because of who he is and what he is," Torre said. "It's not that he needs to pitch because he's Roger Clemens. It's that you want him to pitch because he's Roger Clemens and he can do things that other people can't do." 老托场面话称赞老克 Bombers bits: The Yankees have organizational meetings planned for early Wednesday. One item of note: Torre would prefer to play Johnny Damon in left field over Hideki Matsui in a playoff series. ... Kyle Farnsworth showed improved location on Monday after mechanical tweaks, Torre said. ... Right-hander Darrell Rasner has been working out in Tampa, maintaining his strength and continuing to throw. He has not appeared in the Majors since breaking a finger in a May 19 start at Shea Stadium. 星期三组织会议 老托想让大门在季後赛守左外野 老托说 星期一放肆火展现他改善了投球进垒的位置 Rasner回来了 Coming up: The Yankees will continue their three-game set with the Devil Rays on Wednesday night at 7:10 ET, turning to Chien-Ming Wang (18-7, 3.72 ERA) against lefty J.P. Howell (1-5, 6.80 ERA). After winning five straight starts in late August and early September, Wang has been stuck on 18 wins across his last two trips to the mound. 接下来对魔鬼鱼三连战第二场 王建民 vs Howell 小王八月底九月初 五连胜 但最近两场卡住维持18胜 明天能不能伸卡成功 取得19胜带领洋基喷香槟进季後赛? 7:10开打 Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com.
