※ 引述《yyhong68 (come every now and then)》之銘言： : The only thing Posada would change is pitch to Broussard : BY JOHN HARPER : DAILY NEWS SPORTS COLUMNIST : Sunday, May 6th 2007, 4:00 AM : The game had been over for 30 minutes, and as Jorge Posada answered : questions in front of his locker, you could see that he wasn't going : to sleep well last night. Maybe he wasn't blaming himself for the home run : that broke up Chien-Ming Wang's perfect game, but he was most assuredly : second-guessing himself. 比賽已經打完超過半小時了，但是當厚黑在休息室回答問題的時候，你大概看的出來 他晚上將會睡不著。也許他不是在自責配了被尻全壘打那球毀了王建民的完全比賽， 但幾乎可以確定的是，他第二度的自我懷疑了。 : After all, Posada hadn't called a changeup the entire game, mostly : because Wang's power sinker had been so dominant, with even more : late movement than usual. But then, five outs away from a perfecto, : Posada called for an 0-1 changeup to Ben Broussard, and watched in : agony as it hung, belt-high, and Broussard launched it over the wall : in right-center. 畢竟在被轟全壘打之前，他並沒有配任合一球變速球，因為小王的伸卡球實在太威了 ，雖然已經沒有像平常那麼會跑。即使如此，就在小王只差五個人就可以下去嚼菸草 慶功的時候，他在一好球的狀況配了顆變化球給大壞蛋，然後看著球飛到紅中，腰帶 那麼高，然後被大壞蛋尻出中右外野的全壘打牆。 : "You try not to think about it," Posada said quietly. "But you think : about it. You think about it." 噗沙達安靜的說：「你可以試著不要去想，可是就會想啊！就一直想一直想。」 : Catchers never forget. Never mind that by pitching the Yankees to : an 8-1 victory over the Mariners, Wang provided them with a huge lift, : with his turn falling between Friday night's 15-11 debacle and the : emergency starts that rookies Darrell Rasner and Matt DeSalvo will : make the next two days. 捕手不會忘記的。今天王建民對水手隊投了一場8-1的勝投，但對於洋基隊來說， 在禮拜五晚上囧川被打爆以15-11輸球的大災難之後，以及即將登場的兩位菜鳥緊 急徵調先發之前，這場勝投無疑是一股扭轉劣勢的助力。 : Indeed, Posada knew how important it was that Wang had reestablished : himself as an ace after a couple of shaky starts that followed his : hamstring injury. : As he said afterward, "He's our No. 1. We need him." : It's just that Posada, like all catchers, takes great pride in his : pitchers' accomplishments. He wanted the perfect game for Wang : perhaps more than Wang himself. 的確，撲殺達也知道小王重建自己往日的王牌風采是很重要的，尤其是傷癒復出 後又經歷了兩場不太穩的先發。如同他自己說的：「他是洋基一哥，我們需要他！ 」然而不只是撲殺達，所有的捕手都會以投手的成就為榮，他可能比小王還想要 今天被打飛的那場完全比賽！ : "I really thought we were going to get it," Posada said. : He got one once, having caught David Wells' perfect game in 1998, : a day he considers the most memorable of his career. But Posada had : also come close before, catching Mike Mussina on that night in Boston : in September of 2001, when Carl Everett broke up a perfect game : with two outs in the ninth, on a 1-2 count. 噗沙達說：「我真的以為我們會完全比賽。」他曾經在1998年接過一次，David Wells的完全比賽，他認為那天是他職業生涯中最值得紀念的一天，但是他以前也有 差點完成卻被打飛的經驗，是Mussina 2001年九月在波士頓主投，當Carl Everett 這個壞蛋在第九局兩人出局兩好球一壞球的時候被破壞掉了。 : You think that one didn't keep him up nights? Out of nowhere : yesterday, Posada brought up the Mussina game, talking about how : he kept calling fastballs up and in that Everett was fouling off. : When Mussina finally threw one that he didn't get up-and-in, : Everett singled to center. 你覺得他沒有因為那件事情睡不著覺嗎？好巧不巧，昨天他又提到了這場Mussina 主投的比賽，說著他一直配角度好的快速球然後一直被Everett打成界外，結果 最後Mussina丟了一球他覺得糟糕了的球，結果就被打成中間方向的一壘安打。 : "The pitch wasn't where it was supposed to go," Posada recalled. : "But you second-guess yourself. If you throw a curveball there, he's : done. But then, if you throw the curveball and he hits it, you : second-guess yourself even more." 噗沙達回憶說：「那球不應該在那裡的>"<，但是你不禁問自己，如果你配個 曲球，搞不好打者就玩完了。可是如果你配個曲球被打出去，你就會更懷疑自 己了。」 : Posada paused, and someone asked him how long it took him to get : over that one. : "I'm still thinking about it," he said with a chuckle. "It's part : of calling a game." 然後撲殺達停了一下，問了一個路人甲他花了多久才擺脫這段陰影。可是他皺 眉頭說：「我還是在想>"<。這就是捕手的一部份。」 : Posada said he wasn't thinking about the close call with Mussina when : he called the changeup to Broussard, a lefthanded hitter batting in : the No.5 spot for the Mariners. He said it was more a matter of : trying to outthink the hitters at that point. : "After the seventh," said Posada, "when we struck out (Raul) Ibanez, : you start thinking about it in the dugout: 'OK, who's coming up, : what are we going to call?' You try to be a little more ahead of : every hitter, thinking about what you called before. : "You don't want to get into a pattern. So you're thinking three : pitches ahead." 他說當他配那球變速球的時候壓根沒想到Mussina那球，他只是想著要怎麼對付 這名打者而已，當第七局把Ibanez K掉之後，我們就在休息室想著：「下一個是 誰？要配什麼球把他幹掉？」試著在打者上場前就先想好，想著以前配過什麼球 。我們不想配球配成一個固定的模式，所以我總會多想下三球。 : In Broussard's case, Posada started him with an inside fastball : that the hitter took for a strike. Posada said he sensed that : Broussard "was on the fastball" by the way he took the pitch, : but he admitted that he'd already decided to call for a : changeup, perhaps not so much to get an out as to set up : Broussard for another 92-mph sinker. 對大壞蛋的時候，撲殺達先塞給他一個內角快速球讓他揮棒落空，然後撲殺達 由他揮棒的感覺感覺到，「這個人想打快速球」，但是他承認他本來就想配個 變速球，可能等等再給他一個92mph的伸卡球嚐嚐。 : "I wanted to get him off the fastball," he said. : So he called for the changeup for the first time all day. : Wang had shaken off Posada only once all day, saying no to a : slider to throw his sinker early in the game, and with good : reason. On days such as yesterday, Wang's sinker moves so : hard and late that he needs little else. : But in this case, Wang said he didn't think about shaking off : Posada. So he threw the change, and Posada wanted to reach out : and grab it before Broussard could swing the bat. 「我想要讓他不再鎖定快速球。」他說，所以就配了昨天全場第一個變速球， 小王昨天對於他的配球只搖過一次頭，在稍早時想要投身卡球不投滑球。像昨 天小王的狀況，伸卡球跑得沒那麼多，所以需要點別的武器。 但在這次的對決，小王說他沒有想過要搖頭，所以他就投了變速球，撲殺達也 在大壞蛋可以揮棒之前就想要接起來。 : "As soon as I saw it," said Posada, "I was just hoping he wouldn't : swing at it. If (Wang) throws a good one there, (Broussard) rolls over : it and grounds out. But he threw a bad one." : As it turned out, maybe Posada outthought himself. His intentions : were good, but at that point, the way Wang was throwing his sinker, : there was far greater risk of making a mistake with a changeup, : especially since he hadn't thrown one all day. : Perhaps Posada was thinking exactly that as the ball sailed out : of the park. : "You never second-guess yourself," he said. "But after it happens, : you do. Obviously, you do." : In the big picture, it didn't matter nearly as much as Wang : stabilizing the Yankees' injury-plagued rotation. But chances : are that thought wasn't going to help Posada sleep any better : last night. 「我一看到這球就覺得麻煩了。」噗沙達說，「我只能希望他不要揮棒，如果小王丟 一顆夠低的讓他滾地球出局就好了，可是小王投太高了。」 被打出去後，也許撲殺達又重新檢視自己一次。他的動機是好的，但在這個節骨眼， 小王丟伸卡正順手的時候，變速球投到紅中的風險就大的多，特別是他今天還是第一 顆變速球！！ 也許撲殺達在看著球飛出去的時候也是這樣想吧　　XD 「你從來不會質疑你自己，可是發生那種鳥事之後，就會啊！」噗沙達說。 不過總的來說，這件事情遠比不上王建民穩定洋基隊爛掉又燒掉的牛棚重要，但是 這樣想並不會幫助噗沙達在晚上睡的更好。　囧 : [email protected] : http://tinyurl.com/37v2uj -- http://www.wretch.cc/blog/flownaway --
