Spin Forward: Key rotation decisions Yankees go with Wang, Tribe sticks with Byrd for Game 4 By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com NEW YORK -- It may turn out to be the pivotal decision of their American League Division Series, but the Yankees' manager chose to move up his top pitcher to Monday night's now critical Game 4, while the Indians' skipper stayed with his planned series rotation. Toree决定要把他的首号先发小王挪到星期一晚上的第四战 而笑脸人的老大则决定维持原来的先发次序 skipper:(球队等的)队长;领导者;主管 The net result could be a decisive Game 5 on Wednesday night back at Jacobs Field and a seismic shift in the best-of-five series. 这个结果很可能会成为星期三在笑脸人主场的决定性第五战 同时也是两队五战三胜的系列中一个相当大的调度 decisive:决定性的 seismic:剧烈的 The long and the short of it is that Paul Byrd, a 15-game winner, will start for the Tribe on Monday at Yankee Stadium because manager Eric Wedge decided to save C.C. Sabathia for the possible climatic fifth game. Meanwhile, Joe Torre opted to start Chien-Ming Wang on three days' rest instead of Mike Mussina in the penultimate game and will have veteran left-hander Andy Pettitte on his regular rest for the possible finale. 笑脸人在星期一洋基球场的先发将会是15胜的Byrd 因为Wedge决定将CC留到可能的第五场回到主场 Torre则是决定让小王以中三日上场先发主投倒数第二场比赛 取代原订的 Mussina 而Andy则是按照他的原先轮休方式主投可能的决赛 penultimate:倒数第二的 "Yeah, yeah, we're going to move forward just as we had planned," Wedge said after the Yanks came from behind to win Game 3, 8-4, and halve the deficit to 2-1 in the series. "Byrdie will be on the mound and we'll go from there. You know, it's where we are. We knew we were going to need four starters if it went that far in the series. And that's where we're at. That's what we're going to go with." 在洋基从落後以8-4嬴得第三战後，且将颓势扳成2-1後 Wedge说，就像我们原订的方式，我们会继续走下去 鸟仔(Byrdie)将会主投 如果战线需要打到第四战，我们知道需要四个SP halve:将...减半 deficit:赤字、不足… Wedge has two 19-game winners to juggle. And his decision leaves Fausto Carmona, who three-hit the Yankees over nine innings in Friday's 2-1, 11-inning victory at the Jake, out in the cold for the remainder of this series. Carmona will get Game 1 of the AL Championship Series, which opens on Friday night in Boston, if the Indians get that far. But the point is getting that far. Wedge有两个19胜投手可以调度 而他决定让仅让洋基九局击出三只安打的Carmona在这场系列赛中坐板凳 如果笑脸人取得这系列赛的胜利，Carmona将会主投星期五在Boston的ALCS第一场 (这麽说来Carmona，你这个球季已经没机会先发了啦~~( ￣ c￣)y▂ξ) juggle:玩杂耍;变戏法 Torre, who finds himself under threat of losing his job if the Yanks succumb in this series, isn't taking any chances. 发现如果洋基在这场系列赛出局，自己则要卷铺盖走路的Torre不想冒任何的险 succumb:死亡、被压垮 Wang may have had an awful Game 1, allowing eight runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 12-3 loss, but Torre has every confidence that he'll rebound at the Stadium after Thursday's 94-pitch performance. After all, in finishing 19-7 this season, Wang had a 4.91 ERA on the road and a 2.75 ERA in New York, where he was 10-4. 王在第一场可能表现很差 4又2/3局中 8分责失 9安 最後球队以12-3落败 但是Torre对他还是很有信心，认为他会从那场比赛中走出来 无论如何，在主场王有10胜4败，ERA2.75 的成绩 "Well, he's a 19-game winner, he's pitched well at the Stadium, and we relied on him so much," Torre said about the decision. "Taking nothing away from Moose [Mussina], he hasn't pitched in a while. Certainly I made [Mussina] aware before the game that we were going to decide later who was going to pitch. And he was comfortable with that. And I just told him afterwards that it was going to be Wanger, and he said, 'Fine.'" 「Well，他是个19胜投手，在洋基球场表现不错，这个球季来我们一直仰頼着他」 (这话说的真是公道呀~~~) Torre这麽解释着他的决定 这对Moose不会有什麽损害，他有好一段时间没有投了 当然，在赛前我已经跟Mosse知会过 这一场是王的，「okay的」Moose也对这样的决定相当理解 Then, of course, there's the specter of having Pettitte ready for Game 5. The left-hander is 14-9 in postseason play and would be making his 36th playoff start. In Game 2, he pitched into the seventh inning, allowing seven hits, but no runs, putting the Yankees squarely in position to win the game, which they didn't. 当然，对於Andy是不是能担当第五战也是个冒险 在第二战，他主投了七局，7安，但是没有失分 使得洋基有机会嬴球，但是他们没有 (Orz) specter:恐怖之物 Sabathia, for his part, was shaky himself in Game 1, throwing 114 pitches through five innings, while walking six and allowing three runs on five hits. Sabathia's started on three days' rest only once in his career, on the last day of the 2001 season when he pitched five innings against the Royals, allowed only two hits, and earned the win. Sabathia在第一战表现也不太稳，五局114球中，保送6位，被打五安，失三分 之前只有在2001年对上皇家时有过中三日先发 那场比赛他主投五局，被打二安打嬴得比赛 "I would've been ready to go if [Wedge] asked me, no doubt," Sabathia said. "But Byrdie has been coming through for us all year. That was not even a question, I don't think. He's pitched well. He's a 15-game winner. He definitely deserves it." 「如果教练叫我出场，我想毫无疑问的，我已经准备好了」CC这麽说 但鸟仔这一季表现的相当不错，他是个15胜投手 他理所当然可以主投第四场 The Indians have been through this well in the past with disastrous results, using the likes of Jaret Wright, Charles Nagy and Bartolo Colon on three days' rest. There's also the fact that the Yankees are desperate for a win to tie the series, while the Indians still have two shots at it. 笑脸人过去也用过中三日，像是Wright, Nagy,与Colon但是结果都蛮惨的。 事实上洋基也需要挺而走险的将系列赛追成2-2平手，而笑脸人还有两次机会 desperate:情急拼命的,铤而走险的 "It's all situational," Indians GM Mark Shapiro said before the game. "I don't have a categorical opinion on it. I'm a believer in it in the right situations. It depends on how many pitches that guy threw the outing before, how hard he had to work, where your team is, what's at stake and who the alternative is. Everything has got to be examined. I think you have to be down 2-1, not up 2-1, to think about doing it." stake:赌注 「这些都要看状况」笑脸人GM Shapiro赛前这麽说 我对这个决定没有什麽意见，我只相信正确的状况 这取决於这家伙之前投了多少球，以及他的努力、赌注有多大以及选项有谁 每一件事都必须被检视，只有2-1落後的人需要烦恼这些，不是2-1领先的人 (唉，说的一点也没错，换成洋基2-1领先谁要派小王中三日呀?) If Wedge thought about it, he didn't give any indication. Torre in contrast, made the move. 如果Wedge也这麽想，他并没有任何指示 而Torre这麽做了 indication:指示 -- ◤≡.◥ ◤ ◥ ◣ ◢ ╲╱ ═ ═ ◣╳◢ ＞＿＜ ╱╲ ◤ ◥ "︷\│▲◣＿ ◢ ╰╯│▲ ≡□≡ ▲ ◣日 ◢▲ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ ◤ By RedKiss 孤独不是天生的，是当爱上一个人之後才学会的 http://spaces.msn.com/members/hirocomics/ --
