(節錄) 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. 洋基隊把喬巴.張伯倫從牛棚移出來的決定產生了副作用,那就是他們在第八局的設局投手 產生了空缺.在這個球季的前八個星期,張伯倫是教練喬拉迪在Rivera出場前那一局最愛用 的投手,但現在喬拉迪必須另覓新人選了. 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. 喬拉迪並不缺乏人選,他手上有投的出色的Jose Veras和目前仍無失分的Ramirez.但是有 個更好的人選,喬拉迪常常提及的那個人--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." 喬拉迪說:"顯然的,放肆已經把球投好一整年了,你以後可能會常常看見他處於那良好的 狀況." 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. 喬拉迪並非預測到遇上各隊的打者產生的狀況,而是考慮到洋基隊牛棚中沒有一個穩定出賽 的左投手,他手上的牌就只有這麼幾張了.也就是說洋基下一個系列對上水手隊的時候,放 肆火必須及早做好身為設局投手的準備. "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." 喬拉迪說:"我還沒有在第八局投手的人選上做出完全決定,也就是說,當我選你上去投第八 局,你就上去投.但是球員們喜歡他們在球隊中被定位在一個角色上.球隊在未來會大量使 用放肆火,但我們也還有其他的設局投手人選." 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. 在洋基隊可以保持戰績領先之前,他們必須先取得勝績.他們最近並沒有贏很多場的比賽, 但是一個週末對上水手隊的系列賽--一個跟洋基隊同樣被期待的球隊--而且同樣有個令人 失望的開季--可以給洋基隊一個機會達到他們想要的目標.洋基隊才在五月初的系列賽中 橫掃過水手隊過一次.
