Mark it Down Baseball, Bombers and life on the beat with a Yankees scribe Mark Feinsand http://markitdown.mlblogs.com/ Walking the walkoff 漫步於逆轉 Well, Alex Rodriguez certainly gave the Yankee Stadium crowd something to cheer about on Wednesday with his walkoff home run against the Braves. It was as big a hit as any Yankee has had this season, giving New York a terrific win heading into the off day. 好阿，週三 Alex Rodriguez 砍倒勇士的二分逆轉砲無疑的給洋基球場的群眾們一些值得喝采的事情。這跟本季洋基任何曾有過的乾坤一擊一樣重要，讓紐約在進入休息日前有個極為不凡的勝利。 My question is, will that home run be enough to keep the boo-birds off A-Rod's back, or will they return the next time he strikes out with men in scoring position? 我的疑問是，這記全壘打足以讓那些在背後噓 A-Rod 的傢伙離開嗎？或者他們會在下次當有人在得分位置時他被三振的時候逆襲呢？ The guess here is that the homer will buy Rodriguez a couple of days of goodwill. He'll get a huge ovation when he steps into the batter's box on Friday, and probably for the next few at-bats after that. But if he goes down swinging against El Duque in the sixth inning of a one-run game, look out. 這兒的猜測是這支全壘打能替 Rodriguez 買來幾天的信譽。在週五當他進到打擊區的時候他會受到盛大的鼓掌歡迎，然後可能接下來很少的打席都會如此。但是如果在一分差的比賽於第六局遭 El Duque 三振的話，那就有得瞧了。 This home run had everything. It was timely, it was clutch, it came at a time when the rest of the offense looked lost. And it won a ballgame. Let's see how long it takes for the haters to start shouting again ... unfortunately, I don't think it will take long. 這支全壘打代表著很多意義。即時地、關鍵地、當其他的攻擊火力看起來將要熄滅時它降臨了。然後贏得球賽。讓我們看看那些憎恨者要花多久才能再啟動嘴炮 ─不幸地，我不認為會很久。 I have already heard some fans saying things like, "Yeah, it was a big hit, but he's still hitting .211 in June." 我已經聽過有些球迷說些像是，"是捏，那是個大反擊，但他六月仍然只打出 .211。" It is impossible for Rodriguez to salvage June in terms of stats. But this home run could do something even more important, which is to get him going for a big second half. If the Yankees are to win the division (which I still believe they will), they will need guys like A-Rod, Jason Giambi, Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon to step up offensively on a consistent basis. 在六月結束前 Rodriguez 不可能救起他的數據。但這個全壘打能做比那更重要的事─就是讓他有個成功的下半季。如果洋基贏得分區冠軍 (我仍然相信他們能) ，他們會需要像是 A-Rod 、 Jason Giambi 、 Derek Jeter 與 Johnny Damon 這樣的人來構築一個穩定的火線。 Chien-Ming Wang continued the Yankees' recent trend of solid starts. In the last five games, Wang, Jaret Wright, Randy Johnson, Shawn Chacon and Mike Mussina have combined for a 1.64 ERA. Not bad. 王建民延續洋基近來的堅固的先發。近來的五場比賽 Wang、Jaret Wright、 Randy Johnson、Shawn Chacon 與 Mike Mussina 合計是 1.64 ERA。還不壞。 The bullpen needs to straighten itself out a little, but things could be much worse there, too. 牛棚需要稍微自我整頓一下，不然事情會變的更糟的。 Yankees have a day off Thursday, so I'll be taking a day off from posting. See you all Friday for the latest edition of the Subway Series. 洋基週四放假，所以我也放假，咱們週五地鐵大戰時見。譯文僅供參考。 -- 長い助走が終わりつつあります。飛翔の為の準備を始めました。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc)
