The New York Times Blue Jays 15, Yankees 4 When the Yankees Need His Best, Wang Delivers His Worst 当洋基需要王的最佳表现, 王给的却是最差. By TYLER KEPNER Published: August 9, 2007 TORONTO, Aug. 8 — To beat Roy Halladay on Wednesday, the Yankees’ Chien-Ming Wang needed to be exceptional. There may be no pitcher who is tougher on the Yankees than Halladay. 星期三要打败Halladay, 洋基的王建民必须表现的异常地好. Halladay是洋基最难应付的投手. "When you have Halladay on the mound, you know you have to control it,” Yankees Manager Joe Torre said. “You know you have to keep them down. When we couldn’t do that, you realized it was a tall order.” "当你面对Halladay站在投手丘上, 你知道你必须控制局面." Torre说. "你知道你必须压制对方火力. 当你没能办到时, 你知道你不能苛求胜利." Wang suffered through the worst performance of his career, lasting just two and two-thirds innings in a 15-4 rout by the Toronto Blue Jays. It was the shortest of Wang’s 71 career starts, and he allowed a career-high eight runs. 王的表现是生涯中最糟的一次, 只投了2.2局, 终场洋基以15-4输给蓝鸟队. 这是王71场先发里面最短的一次, 而且他丢了生涯最高的8分. Halladay worked seven innings and struck out eight, improving to 10-4 in his career against the Yankees. Halladay投了七局, 三振8次, 将生涯对洋基的战绩提昇到10胜4败. For the Yankees, who had won five in a row, it was a dreary way to start a challenging chunk of their schedule. Starting Friday in Cleveland, the Yankees play 17 of 20 games against four of the best teams in the American League. 从星期五在克里夫兰开始, 在20场比赛中的17场洋基将面对美联最好的四支球队. After a three-game series with the Indians, the Yankees play host to the fourth-place Baltimore Orioles for three games and then the Detroit Tigers for four. They follow that with a seven-game trip to Anaheim and Detroit before playing three games at home against Boston. 在与印地安人的三场比赛之後, 洋基会在主场有三场比赛面对第四名的金莺, 然後有四场对老虎. 接着是七场在安那罕和底特律的客场比赛, 然後是三场在主场对波士顿. “Right now, we’re probably as good a team as we’ve been all year,” Torre said. “We’ll see how good that is when we test ourselves against the better teams.” "现在我们球队就像这一年以来的一样." Torre说. "我们将试试看在面对较好的球队时, 我们表现的多好?" Despite the blowout, the Yankees left town with another series victory. They were 21-8 in a stretch against games teams that were under .500 at the All-Star Game break. 尽管最後一场被打爆, 洋基还是带着系列赛胜利离开多伦多. 洋基在明星赛後面对胜率低於.500的球队战绩是21胜8败. “We played well, we have some momentum and we have some guys swinging very hot bats right now,” Johnny Damon said. “I think we’re feeling pretty good about our chances.” "我们打的很好, 我们有冲劲和一些棒子很烫的人." Damon说. "我们对未来的机会感到很乐观." The Yankees stand only a half-game behind the Seattle Mariners for the lead in the A.L. wild-card race, an encouraging place to be. But on a small scale, it was startling to see Wang struggle so badly. He had worked at least six innings in each of his previous 12 starts, and was 10-1 in his last 13. 洋基在外卡只落後美联领先的水手半场胜差, 很令人鼓励. 但从小地方来看, 看到王建民那麽严重地挣扎是很令人吃惊的. 他过去12场比赛的先发都最少投六局, 过去13比赛的战绩是10胜1败. The effectiveness of Wang’s sinker is muted, to some degree, by playing on artificial turf, where ground balls get through the infield quicker. In 10 career starts on turf, Wang has a 5.17 earned run average; his E.R.A. on grass is 3.64. 王的伸卡球完全失效, 在人工草皮上球很快的滚出内野. 在人工草皮的10次先发, 王的ERA是5.17. 王在草地的ERA是3.64. But this game was less about the playing surface than Wang’s location. He was consistently up in the strike zone with his sinker, and when he went to a slider, as he did against Vernon Wells in the third, he often hung it. 不过这场比赛比草皮更重要的是王建民的控球. 他的伸卡球一直在好球带的上方, 当他用滑球时, 滑球又掉不下来, 像第三局面对Wells 那样. Wells slammed that pitch to left for a double, one of five hits off Wang in a five-run inning. That followed a three-run first in which Matt Stairs and Alex Rios doubled. Wang allowed no home runs, but the Blue Jays collected five doubles off him, among their nine hits. Wells将那球打到左外野变成二垒安打, 这是第二局王被打五支安打掉五分的其中一支. 这发生在Stairs和Rios打了两支二垒打得三分的第一局之後. 王没有被打任何一支全垒打, 但蓝鸟从他手中打出九支安打,其中有五支二垒安打. “Everything was down the middle,” Wang said, adding later, “The low ball was too low, in the dirt.” "所有球都在红中." 王建民说. "低球都太低了, 打到土上." 王随後补充说. Wang said he was not bothered by his troublesome fingernail, which has split because of the pressure he applies on his sinker. He said his arm angle was too low, and he could not remember a start so bad since a game for Class AA Trenton in 2004. 王说他并没有被麻烦的指甲所困扰, 他的指甲因为投伸卡球的压力而断裂. 他说他手臂的角度太低了, 他不记得他有投过这麽差的比赛, 从2004年在2A的一场比赛. Wang left after 59 pitches, his career-low for a start, throwing 31 balls. The doubles kept coming against Jeff Karstens and Ron Villone, and when Frank Thomas smacked one off the top of the wall in left-center field in the seventh inning, it tied a Toronto club record for doubles in a game: nine. 王在投59球後离场, 他生涯先发最低投球数, 31球是坏球. Karstens 和 Villone 接连被打出二垒安打, 当Thomas在第七局将一颗球打在左外野墙上, 蓝鸟打出平队史记录的九支二垒安打. By then, some of the Yankees were gone. Alex Rodriguez took a day to rest his sore left calf; Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada were removed in the seventh; and Bobby Abreu was ejected for arguing a called third strike in the fourth. 那个时候, 一些洋基球员已经离开. A-Rod因为左小腿酸痛休息一天; Jeter 和 Posada 第七局被换下场; Abreu因为争论被判的第三个好球而在第四局被驱逐出场. Torre said the plate umpire, Derryl Cousins, had a “short fuse” in ejecting Abreu, since Abreu did not swear at him. Abreu, who slammed his bat in the dugout, told a different story. Torre说:针对Abreu被驱逐出场, 主审 Derryl Cousins太容易发脾气了, Abreu并没有对他 咒骂. Abreu在休息区砸他的球棒, 他有另一种说法. “It was a bad word,” he said, smiling sheepishly. “It was in English.” "那是不好的话," 他怯懦地笑着说. "那是英文." INSIDE PITCH Ian Kennedy showed again why the Yankees refused to trade him to Texas for Eric Gagné last week. Kennedy, the team’s first-round pick in 2006, threw six scoreless innings for Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. He is 12-2 with a 1.75 earned run average at three levels this season, with 148 strikeouts in 122 2/3 innings. The Yankees selected Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain with the draft picks they received as compensation for the Philadelphia Phillies’ signing of the free-agent reliever Tom Gordon in 2005. Kennedy又一次证明为什麽洋基上周拒绝用他来和Texas交易Eric Gagné. Kennedy星期三在3A投了六局无失分. 他这个球季在三个等级的成绩是12胜2败, 1.75 ERA, 148 K, 122.2 局. Kennedy和Chamberlain的选秀权是费城人补偿2005年签下自由球员Tom Gordon而给的. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 有错请指正 谢谢大家! --
