When Rodriguez cut across the pitcher's mound during a game against Oakland, A's pitcher Dallas Braden took offense and ripped him for his lack of professional courtesy. The incident set off a major turf war and prompted some inflammatory back-and- forth in the papers. 重提A-Rod走过投手丘事件 Who knew? Each time a player tests the game's "unwritten rules,'' it spurs debate about what is and isn't kosher. One man's gamesmanship is another's breach of baseball's internal code. 每次这种事情发生 都会引发讨论 You never know precisely what a hitter might do to irritate a pitcher. Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels, for example, told ESPN.com that he doesn't understand why hitters are allowed to scratch out the back line of the batter's box to gain an extra couple of inches, or stray from the on-deck circle to better gauge his pitches. The list of perceived transgressions is endless. 你无法精确的知道怎样才会惹毛一个投手。Hamels就说，他不懂为什麽打者被允许为了 把让打击区多几寸，而把打击区後面的线给抹掉，或在离开打击准备区（下一棒打者） 的既定位置移动到更靠近投手的位置来观察他们投球 Gossage Blyleven Palmer As a public service, we sought out three prominent pitchers for their opinion of different offenses: What's out of bounds, what's part of the game, and what might prompt you to drill a hitter or make a mental note that he's crossed the line? ‧ Expert No. 1: Jim Palmer, a six-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner and proud owner of a 268-152 record with the Baltimore Orioles. Palmer made the Hall of Fame on his first try in 1990 and currently works as an Orioles analyst for MASN. ‧ Expert No. 2: Bert Blyleven, who won 287 games and ranks ninth on baseball's career list in shutouts (60) and fifth in strikeouts (3,701). Now a Minnesota Twins TV analyst, Blyleven fell five votes short of the Hall of Fame in January and should make it to Cooperstown this winter in his 14th appearance on the ballot. ‧ Expert No. 3: Goose Gossage, nine-time All-Star, owner of 310 career saves, one of the most feared closers in history, and a 2008 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee. 请来三名已退休投手来分享他们的观点。 Palmer，好好先生，六度明星赛选手，三度CY奖，生涯268-152，效力于金鹰。1990年 首度叩关就进入HOF。 Blyleven，生涯287W，生涯完封60场排名第9，三振3701次排名第5。上次HOF票选差5票。 Gossage，九度明星赛选手，310救援成功，08年进入HOF，是一位被惧怕的投手。 The three pitching greats approached the task from different perspectives. Blyleven ranks 17th on baseball's career list -- one spot ahead of Don Drysdale -- with 155 hit-by-pitches. He's a staunch advocate of frontier justice. "That's the way I was brought up,'' Blyleven said. "It's an eye for an eye. If you show me up, I'm going to try to knock out your eye.'' Palmer, in contrast, hit only 38 batters in 19 seasons in Baltimore. That total ties him with Cliff Lee, Steve Blass, Hideo Nomo and 20 other pitchers for 666th place in baseball history. "Earl Weaver didn't believe in throwing at guys, because we had better players, and if you throw at guys, somebody gets hurt and it hurts your ballclub,'' Palmer said. "You just have to pick the right time.'' As for Gossage, he didn't encounter much tomfoolery in any form because of his triple-digit fastball and imposing presence on the mound. Hitters were usually too frightened to mess with him. 三位投手有各自的投手哲学。Blyleven生涯155触身球，排名第17。他非常强调「正义」。 Palmer只有38次触身球。让他排名第666。Palmer说「何必丢别人咧，我们的球员都比较 厉害。况且，丢触身球会让人受伤，也会让球队立於不利。要选对时间。」 至於Gossage，他丢触身球的机会不多，因为没人敢惹毛他。他那巨大的身躯以及超过100 英里的快速球。打者看到他都变的超乖的。 In this week's Starting 9, we laid out nine common scenarios for Palmer, Blyleven and Gossage. Their responses might be worth consulting the next time a pitcher and hitter clash over baseball etiquette. 我们提出了九种比较常见的争议情形来和三位投手讨论。 The hitter stands at home plate and admires a home run. What do you do? 打者打出全垒打後，在本垒瞻仰他的长打。你会怎麽办？ Jim Palmer: "You don't want to get angry. You get even. I learned that from Cal Ripken Sr. You're emotional, competitive, all the things that make you a good athlete. But you can't let things affect you. It's somebody else's actions. Do you respect them? No. Jim Rice hit nine home runs off me. So did Graig Nettles, and they never showed me up. They never went around the bases and put on all this [expletive].'' Palmer「你不应该生气。你应该下次让他出局。我们有情绪，有竞争心，一切都让我们 成为好的运动员，但是不能让这些东西影响你。那是别人的行为。你尊重他们吗？当然 不。Rice跟Nettles都曾经从我手中敲出过九支全垒打，但是他们都不会这麽爱现。他们 不曾搞那麽多飞机。 Bert Blyleven: "I guess you can ask Jose Canseco that question. He did it and I accidentally hit him in the chest area his next time up. There were some words exchanged, all from me basically, saying, 'The next time you hit a home run, run around the darned bases. You think you're so big and strong.' That type of thing. "Tony La Russa came out and I think we had some words too, in the heat of battle. When you give up a home run, good for them. But don't show me up. When I strike you out, I don't stand there and 'fireball' you or point at you or laugh at you. That's part of the game.'' Blyleven「我想你可以问问Canseco这个问题。有一次他就这麽做过，他下次打击的时候 ，我就不小心失投打中他的胸部。我们之间交换了一些对话，主要是我对他说"下次 你打出全垒打，你就乖乖跑你的垒包。你以为你高大强壮吗"那类的话。」 La Russa跑了出来，也和我吵了一下。如果你被打出全垒打，那是他们厉害。但是不要 太臭屁。我三振他们的时候，我不会在那里对你做出奇怪姿势或是指着你笑。这是比赛 的一部份。 Goose Gossage: "When I was pitching for the Cubs, Ron Gant hit a home run that was eight miles foul. He stomped around the batter's box for about five minutes because he was so bummed out. He was a rookie then and I didn't even know who he was. "So he's all up in arms about this ball going foul, and he's causing this big scene while I'm out there waiting to throw the next pitch to [catcher] Jody Davis. When he finally steps back in the box, I plug him with the first pitch. "Gant looks out at me and says, 'What did you hit me for, man?' And I said, 'If you ever do that again, I'll hit you in the head.' He never understood, but a year later Jody Davis went over and played for Atlanta. He told Gant, 'You must be the dumbest SOB in the league. Everybody in the stadium knew you were going to get drilled, except you.''' Gossage「我在小熊的时候，Gant打出了一个界外全垒打。他在打击区大概踱了五分钟的 脚，在那里懊恼。他那时候还是菜鸟，我根本不知道他是谁。他那时候一直在那里该该叫 ，就只是因为一个界外球，而我却在等他就位才能继续投球给我的捕手Davis。当他终於 站回打击区，我马上用下一球K爆他。 Gant看着我说"你干嘛打我阿？"我说"你下次再这样，我一定K你的头"他那时候还不懂。 一年後，Davis到勇士队去了。他告诉Gant"你一定联盟里最白吃的蠢蛋。球场里全部的人 都知道你会被K，除了你之外。"」 The hitter flips the bat or takes an excruciatingly slow home run trot. What's your reaction? 打者打出全垒打後，甩一下球棒或是用超慢的速度跑垒。你们的反应？ Palmer: "It doesn't make you happy. It's just showing you up. The opposite of that is, when I first met Dennis Eckersley, he was pointing at guys and shooting them and all that. I said, 'Eck, guys want to hit home runs and knock you out. Just pretend you did your job.' It's the same with a hitter. It's your job. Just put your head down like Harmon Killebrew did and run. "The only thing this stuff really does is encourage me to want to get hitters out more. A lot of people look at it as a negative; I look at it as, 'This guy is a complete jerk, and I don't like jerks.' Dave Winfield used to come out and twirl the bat, and late in my career, I'd have 5 mph more on my fastball against him.'' Palmer「那不会让你高兴。那只是在炫耀。那只是你的工作。头低下去然後乖乖跑你的垒 。 Blyleven: "In the '87 World Series, Tom Lawless hit a home run off Frank Viola and threw the bat in the air about 20 feet and thought he was Babe Ruth. If anything helps bring a ballclub a little closer together, it's when an opponent reacts the way he does. Everybody on your team gets pissed together. "You can talk about steroids all you want, but when Mark McGwire hit his home runs, he was not a showman. He dropped the bat and ran around the bases. When Barry Bonds hit one, he did a little twirlette; he thought he was a ballet dancer. Even with all the armor he wore, I still would have tried to find a place in his rib cage where he was open.'' Blyleven「87年世界大赛，Lawless夯了一支全垒打，并且把球棒甩的大概有20英尺高。 他大概自己为是Babe Ruth吧。如果要问什麽东西可以让球队团结，就是当对手做出类似 的行为。你们的队友都会为此而感到不爽。 你可以尽管提禁药，但是当大麦打出全垒打时，他不炫耀。他只会把球棒放下然後静静 跑垒。当Bonds打出全垒打之後，他以为他自己是芭蕾舞选手咧。不管他身上穿再多的护 具，我也要找到空隙然後狠狠砸他的肋骨。」 Gossage: "Hitters never showed me up, as hard as I threw. And I was pretty mean out on the mound. Guys hauled ass around the bases when they hit a home run off of me. And if they ever did [take their time], somebody was going to get plugged. That's just the way it was.'' Gossage「打者不敢如此。我球投的很用力，而且我又很凶。全垒打之後他们都快速拖着 他们的屁股跑垒。如果他们胆敢慢慢跑，就会有人被K。就这样而已。 The hitter runs across the mound while you're nowhere near it. Is that an issue? 你不在投手丘附近，打者走过投手丘。这是个问题吗？ Palmer: "I don't have any problem with that. Why would I care?'' Palmer「我没问题。我为什麽会有问题？」 Blyleven: "It doesn't make any difference to me whether I'm standing on it or not -- that's my mound and you stay off my mound. When the left fielder runs from the first base dugout to left field between innings, you never see him run across the mound. You just don't see players running across the mound.'' Blyleven「这无关我是否在投手丘附近。那是我的投手丘，你们都最好别踏上来。当 左外野手从外野要回一垒休息室时，你不会看到他跨过投手丘。球员就是不应该踏过 投手丘。「 Gossage: "I'm sure I would have taken offense to it had it happened, but it never happened. I don't ever remember seeing a baserunner who was all the way to third base run back across the mound. It was kind of a respectful thing. It probably would have been taken as an 'in your face.'" Gossage「我当然会很介意，但是这从来没发生过。我不曾记得看过有人如此。如果真的 有人这样，我会当作是针对我而来的。」 The hitter crosses the mound while you are standing on it. Is there a difference? 你在投手丘上，有打者尬过去。有差吗？ Palmer: "That doesn't bother me, either. I don't think A-Rod probably thought anything about it. But I do admire Dallas Braden for what he did, because it took some cojones. To his credit, he was able to yell and scream and it didn't affect his performance.'' Palmer「这对我也不是什麽。我想A-Rod大概也觉得没什麽。但是我推崇Braden的行为， 因为要那样是需要带种的。他表达了他的情绪，也没影响到他的表现。」 Blyleven: "It's not right what A-Rod did. He could have run around the mound. You respect the game of baseball and you respect your opponents. "I saw the interview with A-Rod, and the arrogance he showed. He should have said, 'Hey, I'm really sorry. I didn't realize I did that.' Instead, he made a circus out of it. I believe Braden had every right to be upset; A-Rod ran straight across the mound, and he's very good at lying. He said, 'I don't remember that.' "Don't be surprised if Braden pitches against the Yankees and A-Rod is up, and in the right situation Braden may come up-and-in on him or make him move his feet a little bit or even drill him. The sad part is, in today's game, the discipline a player can get for hitting another guy isn't the same as it was in the '70s. It's hard to do the 'eye for an eye' now.'' Blyleven「A-Rod的行为是不对的。他可以绕过投手丘。你尊敬棒球，并且尊敬你的对手 。我看了他的访问，以及他所表现出来的自大。他应该表示歉意，并且试着解释他没有 想到那一环。他没以如此说，反而火上加油。我认为Braden有权不高兴。A-Rod直直的穿 过投手丘，而且他善於说谎。他说他不记得了。」 下次如果Braden再对洋基投球，而且轮到A-Rod打击，并且时机适合的话，别太惊讶如果 出现内角高球或是内角低球，甚至触身球。可悲的是，今天的规则，对触身球的处罚和 70年代的处罚不一样了。现在很难一报还一报了。 Gossage: "I was so mean, even my teammates were afraid to come on the mound. I remember once in San Diego, I was really struggling. They wanted to get the bullpen going, and [manager] Larry Bowa yelled to John Kruk to come out and talk to me to buy some time. "There's dust flying, I'm kicking the ground and I'm mad as hell, and I sense somebody standing by me. It's Kruk, standing on the grass. I looked at Kruk and I said, 'This better be good, [expletive].' Kruk was just a rookie then, and he was petrified. He turned around and ran back to first base. He never said a word.'' Gossage「我凶到连我的队友都不敢上投手丘。我记得有一次我在SD，我那时候投的很烂 。他们想要让牛朋热身，所以教练叫Kruk来跟我讲话以争取时间。 尘土飞扬。我生气的踹着地，然後我感觉到身旁有人。我看到Kruk，站在草地上。我对 他说"他妈的这最好重要"那时候Kruk还是个菜鸟，他吓呆了。他转身就回一垒。他一个 字都没说」 Is bunting to break up a no-hitter a violation of baseball's unwritten rules? 为了破坏无安打而短打，如何？ Palmer: "Heck, I did it in Little League against [a kid] because he was going to strike out 18 out of 18. I pitched a no-hitter and [the Orioles] scored eight runs, but it might be the appropriate play. It's part of the game. Plus, if a guy can bunt, I usually want my infielders playing in to defend the bunt anyway.'' Palmer「我小时候就曾经这样干过，因为对方投手即将达成面对18人三振18人咧。这是 比赛的一部份。况且，如果打者是短打好手，我通常会要我的内野手提防短打。」 Blyleven: "Your goal as a hitter is to get on. And if the third baseman is playing back and letting you lay down a bunt, I don't have a problem with that even if it's late in a no-hitter. Their goal is to try to win the game -- not to help a guy get a no-hitter.'' Blyleven「打者的目的就是上垒。如果三垒手守的比较深容许你短打的话，我没有什麽意 见，就算是比赛尾端无安打的情况。他们的目的是赢球，不是帮人达成无安打。」 Gossage: "I never took offense to that. Nolan Ryan used to take offense to guys trying to bunt off him. Nolan used to give guys his so-called 'bow tie.' I just figured it's part of a hitter's job. And I was a guy you could bunt on, because I couldn't field anything on the third-base side. Usually a no-hitter is a tight ballgame, and they're trying to beat you. You need baserunners, and I can't blame the opposition for trying to get on base. If the game is out of reach, then it's a different story. I would take offense to that. I'd drill the SOB. 'If you want to get on base, here, I'll put you on base.''' Gossage「我不会感觉到不悦。我觉得那是打者的工作。更何况我是个很容易被短打成功 的人，因为我三垒边的防守超烂的。 通常无安打的比赛比数都咬的很紧，他们也想要打败你。他们需要跑者，所以我不会怪他 们用尽任何方式上垒。如果比赛分数差很多了，那就大大的不同。我会非常的介意。我会 砸死他们这些混蛋。如果你要上垒，我来让你上垒吧！」 What's your response if a hitter calls timeout while you're in the middle of your windup? 如果你在投球动作中打者突然叫暂停，如何？ Palmer: "We were taught not to wear your emotions on your sleeve, so you just have to internalize all this stuff. It makes you want to get the guy out even more. Some people have a legitimate reason, but if you do it a couple of times, then it's annoying." Palmer「我们被教导不要让感情表现於外。这样会你更加想要让他出局。有些人叫暂停 有合理的理由，但是如果太多次，会觉得很讨厌。」 Blyleven: "If it's the same guy day-in and day-out who's always asking for time, then it might be a problem. But I think the umpires are trying to control that a little better to keep the game moving. We just did a game where Denard Span asked for time, and the pitcher was already in his stretch position, and Gerry Davis was the umpire and he didn't give it to him. The umps are trying to make it so guys can't step out all the time." Blyleven「如果永远都是同一个人这样，也许就会有问题了。但是我认为裁判在这方面 已经进步很多。前些日子我才担任一场球赛的球评，Span要求暂停，投手已经在投球了。 Davis裁判没有同意暂停。裁判在努力让这类事情减少发生。」 Gossage: "When Buck Rodgers was managing in Montreal, they used to step out to break up my timing because I worked fast. I didn't go after the hitters. I walked off the mound, threw the rosin bag down and motioned with my finger for Buck to come on out. I was going to kick his ass. I heard later that the hitters told Buck they didn't want to do it anymore." Gossage「当Rodgers当Mon的教练的时候，因为我的投球节奏很快，所以他们常常会要求 暂停以打乱我的节奏。我们没去Ｋ打者。我下投手丘，把防滑包狠狠的扔下，用手指示意 Buck叫他出来。我准备狠狠的扁他。我後来听说打者们跟Buck说他们不要在这样了」 What do you do if you catch a hitter peeking back at a catcher's setup, or getting signs relayed to him from a teammate on second base? 如果你们发现打者偷看捕手暗号，或是二垒跑者偷看并且传给打者？ Palmer: "I was pitching one night against Jim Spencer, and he used to live in Baltimore. He played basketball with us in the offseason, and he was a friend of mine. [Catcher] Rick Dempsey came out to the mound and said, 'Spencer is looking back at the signs.' So I walked off the mound and said, 'If you do that again, I'll hit you in the side of the head.' I threw the next ball right down the middle and he took it for Strike 3." Palmer「有一天我投球对上Spencer。他是我的朋友。捕手Dempsey出来跟我说"他在偷看 暗号"所以我走下投手丘，跟他说"下次你再这样，我会Ｋ你的头"下一球我投正中直球。 他看着被三振。」 Blyleven: "That's a no-no. I don't think too many players peek back at the catcher. If they're caught, it's up to that pitcher or catcher to say something. 'If you do it again, there's going to be repercussions.' "Ted Simmons and I had words one time in Milwaukee when he was at second base. I came into my stretch position and turned around real quick, and he was staring right in giving the signs. I stepped off and we had some words. I had an incident with Paul Molitor where I thought he was peeking [at the catcher], and I settled it right there." Blyleven「这绝对不行。我不觉得有太多打者会偷看。如果他们被抓包，投手或是捕手 要警告他们，再看会有後果的。 有次我抓到Simmons在二垒偷看暗号。我马上离开投手丘然後跟他沟通。有次我抓到 Molitor偷看捕手。我也是当场解决。」 Gossage: "If we thought hitters were getting signs relayed signs from second base, we would call a breaking ball, and then I'd throw a fastball up and in. That stopped it right then. It was over. They were done." Gossage「如果我们认为二垒跑者再偷看暗号，我们会比变化球的暗号，然後我会头内角 高直球。这通常都会解决一切」 If you think a hitter intentionally leaned over the plate to get hit by a pitch, how do you respond? 如果你认为有打者故意靠向本垒故意被触身，会如何？ Palmer: "I didn't get annoyed very much. But Damaso Garcia stuck his elbow out, and he was going down the first-base line. I said, 'If you're going to pull that crap, I can hit you where it's really going to hurt.' It was a 2-0 ballgame and I guess he was just trying to get on base. But I didn't like it." Palmer「我通常不会感到不爽。但是Garcia有一次把他的手肘伸出去故意被触身。当他往 一垒跑的时候，我跟他说"如果你还要搞这种飞机，我会打到真的会让你痛的地方"当时 比赛2-0，也许他只是想要上垒，但是我很不高兴。」 Blyleven: "It happened the other day in Detroit. Miguel Cabrera got hit with a pitch inside, and we showed the replay and he hardly even moved. He knew he had that pad on his left elbow area and he just kind of left his arm out there and got hit. There was no intent to try to get out of the way. "You see a guy like Jason Kendall, and he's from the old school: You don't see him wearing armor and all that stuff. We had a guy in the '70s, Cesar Tovar, who was notorious for sticking his elbow out there. And Ron Hunt would lean into a fastball to get on base. I don't think these guys today should be allowed to wear a pad. David Ortiz is a designated hitter. He doesn't have to throw anymore. Why does he get to wear a pad?" Blyleven「Cabrera有次被触身球。我们看了重播，他几乎没有动。他知道他有护具， 所以他就故意让他的左肘被打中。他没有要闪的意图。 你看看像Kendall这种传统球员。他不会穿那些盔甲。老爹Ortiz是个ＤＨ。他又不用传球 。他为什麽可以带护具？」 Gossage: "I threw so hard that people never played many games like that with me. It just didn't happen -- because you'd get killed." Gossage「我投球投那麽用力，没人敢如此。会死人的」 How offended are you if a hitter takes a big rip at a 3-0 pitch when his team is way ahead? 如果球数3坏0好，对方大幅领先，而打者仍挥大棒，会如何？ Palmer: "I think that's over the line. What goes around, comes around. That's the thing. If guys show you up, sooner or later something is going to happen. It's bad karma. Just play the game respectfully." Palmer「我觉得这超过了。因果报应。你今天臭屁，总有一天会得到报应。要尊敬比赛」 Blyleven: "If a guy takes a big swing like that, yeah, I would be upset. Don Mattingly hit a home run off me many years ago at the Metrodome, and the next pitch was a fastball and Dave Winfield left his feet swinging at it. The next pitch Winfield was leaving his feet to get out of the way. He was picking himself up off the ground. "Guys swing hard. I don't have a problem with that. But as a pitcher who pitched every fourth or fifth day, that was my bread and butter. I had to have my game face on. When you're not at the top of your game and you feel like the other team is laughing and embarrassing you by doing certain things, it's time to retaliate." Blyleven「如果打者挥大棒，我当然会不想。有一年Mattingly从我手中敲出ＨＲ。下一 棒，Winfield第一球也会大棒，挥到脚都离地了。第二球，他脚也离地了，只是却是为了 闪球。他整个人闪到地上去狼狈的爬起来。 打者挥大棒。这我没有意见。但是当你觉得你被对方嘲笑或羞辱的时候，你会做一些事情 以求报复」 Gossage: "If a guy screws himself into the ground, I'm going to undress him. I might not drill him, but I'm going to send a message. "The score of the game definitely comes into play. Guys used to quit playing if the score was 17-0. The game was out of reach, it was in check, and it was over for all intents and purposes. It was just a respect thing -- you didn't want to show the other team up. Now guys want to pad their stats." Gossage「如果有人这样，一定会有後果的。我不一定会Ｋ他，但是一定会让他知道。 分数差距当然也有醒想。以前如果差到17分的时候，就不太认真的比赛。球赛结果已成定 局，球赛就某种意义而言已经结束了。不会想要向别队炫耀。现在，每个人都在冲数据。 」 Special bonus question: If a player on your team gets drilled, are you obligated to respond? 如果你的队友被Ｋ，你是否有义务回敬？ Palmer: "In Cal Ripken's first year, in '82, we'd had some guys get hit and Cal said, 'When is somebody going to protect somebody around here?' I didn't like Carlton Fisk anyway, because he hit me so well. So one game I just drilled him. It wasn't a very sensible thing to do, and why I was listening to a rookie, I don't know. Maybe I knew that Cal was going to end up in the Hall of Fame one day." Palmer「Ripken的第一年，我们有人被Ｋ了。Ripken就说"什麽时候才会有人保护我们 的打者？"反正我也没很喜欢Fisk，因为他通常打我的球都打得很好，所以有一场比赛， 我就咂他了。那不是很理性的行为，我也不知道我为什麽要听一个菜鸟的话，我真的不 知道。也许我知道将来他会是ＨＯＦ的一员。」 Blyleven: "I don't care if it's my No. 1 hitter or my No. 9 hitter, you know when the other pitcher is doing something on purpose. I remember one time in Kansas City, I had a 5-0 shutout going into the ninth inning, and Juan Beniquez was our center fielder [with Texas]. He hit a three-run homer that day, and in his final at-bat they threw a ball at his head and it went back to the backstop. "Our whole team was yelling, and I knew what I needed to do. Sid Hudson, the pitching coach, came over and said, 'Don't do anything. Get the shutout, and we'll get them another time.' Frank Lucchesi, our manager, said the same thing. "I didn't say anything. I went out there and took my eight warm-up tosses, and then I drilled Darrell Porter right in the ribs with my first pitch. To me, there's a time when you have to protect your teammates. If I didn't do that, I would have lost face with my ballclub. If I don't protect Juan Beniquez right there, I'm the biggest sissy out there. And I'm not a sissy." Blyleven「我不管是我们第一棒还第九棒，只要我知道别队投手是故意的。我记得有一次 在KC，要进入第九局，我们5-0领先。我们的CF那天夯了一支3分炮，所以在他最後一次打 击的时候，对方投了一个飞越他头上方直击後面护网的暴投。 我们全队都在叫，而我也知道我该做啥。投手教练过来跟我说:你等等什麽都别做。拿到 完封，然後下次我们再报复。教练也是跟我这麽说的。 我什麽都没说。我上投手丘，投了我的八个暖身球，然後第一球我就砸了Porter的肋骨。 对我而言，有些时候你要保护你的队友。如果我没这麽做，我在球队里会失去立足之地。 如果我没有保护我们的CF，我就是球场上最大的娘炮。我决不是娘炮。」 Gossage: "We were playing Baltimore one year in Fort Lauderdale early in spring training. Graig Nettles comes up and Mike Flanagan drills him in the wrist with the first pitch. OK, fine. Then somebody takes out Willie Randolph at second base and they almost kill him. OK, fine. Nothing was said. Nobody got upset. That was the way the game was played at the time. But we knew when we had a chance, we'd take care of it. "Later in spring training I was on the mound and Al Bumbry, their leadoff hitter, came to the plate. I hit him on the point of the hip as hard as I could throw. He fell down in the box and he was going around like a top. He was break dancing in the batter's box. I'm telling you, I had never seen anything like it. I came in the dugout after that inning was over and everybody was like, 'Hey Goose, way to go. Thanks, man.' They all knew what it was for. It wasn't that big a deal. But there's a time and a place to take care of business, and we took care of business." Gossage「有年春训我们跟BAL比赛。Nettles第一球就被球K到手腕。没人说话。然後有人 在二垒狠狠的触杀Randolph，差点要了他的命。还是没人说话。没人生气。当下比赛就那 样进行，但是我们知道时机到的时候我们会把握的。 处训後段，我在投手丘上。他们第一棒上来打击。我用了我最大的力气狠狠K中他腰部。 他在打击区瘫下，像个陀螺般转来转去。像街舞般跳着。告诉你，我从来没看过如此的 情景。那局结束之後回到休息区，每个人都对我说:Goose，干的好。谢啦！他们都知道 那是为什麽。那不是什麽大不了的事情。但永远有处理事情的时间地点，而我们把事情 处理好了。 Jerry Crasnick is a senior writer for ESPN.com.
