(节录) Farnsworth likely to fill setup role 05/23/2008 2:40 AM ET By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com NEW YORK -- One byproduct of the Yankees' decision to reassign Joba Chamberlain from the bullpen to the rotation is that they now have a gaping eighth-inning hole. For the first eight weeks of this season, Chamberlain has been manager Joe Girardi's favorite bridge to Mariano Rivera, but no longer. Now, Girardi must find someone new. 洋基队把乔巴.张伯伦从牛棚移出来的决定产生了副作用,那就是他们在第八局的设局投手 产生了空缺.在这个球季的前八个星期,张伯伦是教练乔拉迪在Rivera出场前那一局最爱用 的投手,但现在乔拉迪必须另觅新人选了. He has no dearth of candidates, with Jose Veras pitching well and Edwar Ramirez still not having allowed an earned run. But the better bet -- the one to whom Girardi keeps referring -- is a pitcher who has been in that role before: Kyle Farnsworth. 乔拉迪并不缺乏人选,他手上有投的出色的Jose Veras和目前仍无失分的Ramirez.但是有 个更好的人选,乔拉迪常常提及的那个人--放肆火. "Obviously, Farnsie has thrown the ball very well for us all year long," Girardi said. "You're probably going to see Farnsie in that situation a lot." 乔拉迪说:"显然的,放肆已经把球投好一整年了,你以後可能会常常看见他处於那良好的 状况." Not that Girardi is discounting the possibility of matching up differently against certain hitters and certain teams when the situation arises. But considering that the Yankees don't boast a single left-hander in their bullpen, Girardi only has so much flexibility when it comes to matchups. Which means that should the Yankees need a pitcher this weekend against the Mariners with a game on the line, Farnsworth might just come trotting in. 乔拉迪并非预测到遇上各队的打者产生的状况,而是考虑到洋基队牛棚中没有一个稳定出赛 的左投手,他手上的牌就只有这麽几张了.也就是说洋基下一个系列对上水手队的时候,放 肆火必须及早做好身为设局投手的准备. "I'm not going to set in stone who my eighth-inning guy is," Girardi said."When you're called to pitch, that's when you pitch. But guys like their roles somewhat defined. We'll use Farnsie a lot, and we have a lot of other capable people." 乔拉迪说:"我还没有在第八局投手的人选上做出完全决定,也就是说,当我选你上去投第八 局,你就上去投.但是球员们喜欢他们在球队中被定位在一个角色上.球队在未来会大量使 用放肆火,但我们也还有其他的设局投手人选." Before the Yankees can preserve leads,of course, they first must acquire them.They haven't done much of that lately, but a weekend series against the Mariners -- a team with equally high expectations, and an equally frustrating start --could give them a chance to do just that. The Yankees are only three weeks removed from sweeping the Mariners back on the first weekend of May. 在洋基队可以保持战绩领先之前,他们必须先取得胜绩.他们最近并没有赢很多场的比赛, 但是一个周末对上水手队的系列赛--一个跟洋基队同样被期待的球队--而且同样有个令人 失望的开季--可以给洋基队一个机会达到他们想要的目标.洋基队才在五月初的系列赛中 横扫过水手队过一次.
