[新聞] Wang hopes to jump ahead of Beckett
王建民期能超越J.Beckett
Wang hopes to jump ahead of Beckett
這想法應該會讓任何洋基球迷的脊椎發涼起來
The thought ought to shoot chills up any Yankees fan's spine.
假如,王建民連續兩年來,這種終於贏得王牌應得的喝采與美聯賽揚獎
候選人的輝煌表現沒有回來呢?假如,他五個月前仍然在傷兵名單當中呢?
假如,他春訓中拉傷過的右腿肌腱,又拉傷或者復發了呢?假如,在季初
他在傷兵名單中呆了超過三週,比四月二十四號更晚回到先發輪值頂端呢?
What if Chien-Ming Wang, whose brilliance for a second straight year
finally has him drawing ace-worthy plaudits and American League Cy
Young Award consideration, had never returned? What if he had
remained injured five months ago? What if his right hamstring, strained
during Spring Training, had torn or ruptured? What if he had stayed
on the disabled list longer than just three weeks before he took his
place at the top of the Yankees' rotation on April 24?
洋基隊的外野手Johnny Damon可以回答這一連串的問題
Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon can follow that line of questioning.
"沒有他" Johnny Daman說 "加上一些我們在季初連續的敗場,誰知道我們現在會在哪?"
"Without him," Damon says, "and [with] a couple of the losing streaks we had
earlier in the season, who knows where we would be at?"
星期五在芬威球場贏球之後,洋基隊在美聯外卡領先老虎3.5場勝差。而他們將在表定
星期六下午三點三十五分比賽中,讓他們的賽揚獎候選人在芬威球場登板對戰紅襪王牌
投手Josh Beckett.
After Friday's win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park, the Yankees lead the Tigers
in the race for the AL Wild Card by 3 1/2 games. And they are set, on Saturday
at 3:55 p.m. ET, to send their Cy Young candidate to the Fenway mound against
Red Sox ace Josh Beckett.
星期六的遭遇戰應該是比傳統的基襪好戲更有看頭--卡司有兩位二十七歲但球風截然不同的
賽揚獎熱門候選人,並轡以十八勝在聯盟領先。更不要說雙方都有著進軍世界大賽期望的
廣大球迷支持了。
Saturday promises more than the usual Yankees-Red Sox drama -- it features a
pair of 27-year-old Cy Young front-runners employing varied pitching styles
and carrying a league-leading 18 wins, not to mention the World Series hopes
of their respective fan bases.
王建民上次面對紅襪隊讓對方在七局前打不出一支安打,最後是以七局一安打的呈獻出
本季所有投手對戰紅襪之最佳表現。接近六個月之前,這位六呎三的台灣沈球投手還因為
三月二十三日在跑步時拉傷肌腱而無法投球。
In his last start against the Sox, Wang took a no-hitter into the seventh
inning, finishing with seven innings of one-hit ball in one of the best
performances of any pitcher against Boston this season. Nearly six months
ago, the 6-foot-3 Taiwanese sinkerballer couldn't pitch after straining
his hamstring while running on March 23.
五月前王建民都還在嘗試進入狀況並且重建他在2006年19勝3.63防禦率的好表現。
Not until May did Wang shake off the rust of the offseason and establish
himself as the same dominant mound presence that he was in 2006, when he
won 19 games with a 3.63 ERA.
"受傷後,"捕手Jorge Posada說,"他回來了但還是找不到自己,花了大概三或四次
先發才真正進入狀況,之後他就能夠隨心所欲地投球了。"
"After the injury," said catcher Jorge Posada, "he came back and he
wasn't himself. It took really, like, three or four starts to really get
going. And ever since then, he's been able to take the ball any time he
wanted to."
四月底之後王建民的戰績是十八勝四敗防禦率3.53。他已經解決了他投球動作上的
問題。他也投出更多伸卡球已無的球路並且得到極大的成功,將對手打擊率從去年
的.277降到今年的.262。
Since the end of April, Wang is 18-4 with a 3.53 ERA. He has ironed out
his mechanics. He has thrown his non-sinkerball offerings more and with
greater success, holding hitters to a .262 batting average, against a
mark of .277 last year.
無論那些可以投票的棒球作家瞭解與否,王建民都已投出足堪獲獎的表現了。
Whether the voting baseball writers have yet caught on or not, Wang has
pitched his way into the awards-season picture.
"我認為他沒有得到應有的評價,而我不知道為什麼。"Posada說 "但我天天看他
,我知道他能力所及,我認為對我們來說他是第一號,我認為他應該贏得賽揚獎"
"I think he doesn't get the recognition, and I don't know why," Posada
said. "But I've seen him every day. I've seen what he's been able to do.
I think he's, for us, been No. 1. I think he's the Cy Young winner."
有些候選人也有差不多的表現但球風不同。
There are candidates with similar performance records and varying styles.
"你得要考慮Beckett,"洋基二號捕手Jose Molina說" 你得想到天使隊的Lackey,
Escobar,印地安人隊的Sabathis,你得想到很多為勝利球隊投得不錯的傢伙。
"You've go to think about Beckett," said Yankees backup catcher Jose
Molina. "You've go to think about [John] Lackey in Anaheim, [Kelvim]
Escobar in Anaheim, [Cleveland's C.C.] Sabathia. You've got to think
about a lot of guys who are pitching well for winning teams."
王氏球風--就是投給你打,用伸卡球來製造滾地球。類似的賽揚獎候選人只有
印地安人隊的Fausto Carmona,相對於Beckett的173次三振,王建民只有排行
倒數的91次。
Wang's style -- which is to pitch to contact, inducing ground balls
with a sinker that is rivaled only by fellow Cy candidate Fausto
Carmona of the Indians -- has nevertheless led to only 91 strikeouts
against Beckett's 173.
"那無妨" Posada說 " 你看看防禦率以及那些他能做到的,贏得聰明!不管
你是怎麼做到的都可以。他就是能持續這樣下去"
"It doesn't matter," Posada says. "When you [consider] ERA and the
things he's able to do, winning-wise, it just doesn't matter how
you do it. He's been able to do it consistently."
對戰投手
Pitching matchup
紐約洋基:王建民(18-6 3.69Era)
王建民漸漸的會被紅襪隊仔細研究了,這是他本季對戰次數最多的隊伍。
八月三十號那場在洋基球場的上一場對戰王建民投得很出色,七局一安
並且三振了五人次。本季對上紅襪隊戰績是三勝一敗3.24防禦率,雖然
說在二十五局投球裡讓有36人次上壘。
Wang has been steady under scrutiny against Boston, which he has
faced more than any other team this season. In his last start
against the Red Sox, on Aug. 30, Wang was brilliant. He threw
seven efficient innings of one-hit ball at Yankee Stadium, striking
out five. Against the Red Sox this season, he is 3-1 with a 3.24
ERA, despite allowing 36 baserunners in 25 innings.
波士頓: 右投手Josh Beckett (18-6, 3.27 ERA)
Beckett在對陣記錄上就比王建民遜色多了,19又2/3的投球局數中被打了
30支安打以及5.49的對戰防禦率。以及.353的被打擊率。遠比任何今年
他遭遇過兩次以上的球隊還糟。八月二十九號那場在洋基球場的敗戰中,
Beckett在六又三分之二局的投球被打了十三支安打。但他還是把洋基隊
的得分控制在四分。
Beckett has been far less successful pitching against his archrival
than Wang, posting a 5.49 ERA and allowing 30 hits in 19 2/3
innings. That adds up to a .353 opponents' batting average, far
worse than against any team he has faced more than once. In a loss
to the Yankees on Aug. 29, Beckett allowed 13 hits in 6 2/3
innings, but he still held the Bronx Bombers to just four runs.
值得注目的選手
Player to watch
一壘手Jason Giambi星期五的恐怖守備幫了紅襪隊一把,但對上Beckett可望
一雪前恥。他對Beckett是在十三個打數中 8成46的長打率。
