Toronto starters to pitch on short rest
Blue Jays take on Red Sox in crucial four-game series
By David Just / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- One of the most pressing decisions facing Blue Jays manager Cito
Gaston over the last week was whether or not he would start his pitchers on
short rest against the Red Sox this weekend.
對 Gaston 來說,上星期最急迫的決擇是:到底要不要在這週末對上紅襪的系列戰中讓投手
中三日。
Well, the verdict is in, and it's a good one for optimistic Jays fans.
喔喔~結果出來了,對樂觀的藍鳥迷來說是個好消息。
A.J. Burnett, Jesse Litsch and Roy Halladay all will pitch on three days' rest
against Boston in a last-ditch effort to reach the postseason.
Burnett, Litsch, 和 Halladay 要中三日出賽戰紅襪,為晉級季後賽的一絲希望熊熊為它
搏一回。
Sitting seven games out entering Thursday's series finale with the White Sox,
the Blue Jays still have seven games to play against the Red Sox, which was
reason enough for Gaston to make the decision.
在對白襪系列賽的最終戰之前,藍鳥落後紅襪七場勝差。而藍鳥和紅襪本季仍有七場對戰,
這就足以讓 Gaston 下這個決定。
Originally, Gaston was going to wait to see if his club could pull out three of
four in Chicago, but the decision won't hinge on that any longer.
本來 Gaston 是想等看看子弟兵能不能在對白襪四連戰中拿下三場後再做決定。但他已提早
決定好了。
"Even if we don't win three out of four, we got Boston for seven more games,"
Gaston said. "If we can go in there and play well, it could be very interesting
next weekend [when we face Boston again]. But don't jump over Baltimore, because
as soon as you start thinking ahead, something will happen there. We got to be
concerned about those guys, too."
Gaston:就算我們對白襪沒有拿下三場勝利,我們對紅襪仍有七場比賽未打,如果我們可以
在波士頓好好表現,那就有好戲可看囉~但是,別把金鶯 Dororo 化!因為一旦你開始盤算
在金鶯系列賽後的紅襪四連戰,可能有些事不會那麼盡如人意。我們也須考慮好好地對付金
鶯。
Burnett and Litsch started the games in a doubleheader against the White Sox on
Tuesday, and they will do so again on Saturday in another day-night twin bill.
星期四 Burnett 和 Litsch 在對白襪的雙重賽中先發,本週六他們會再度在對紅襪的雙重
賽中先發。
Halladay, who was the losing pitcher on Wednesday night, will start the finale
on Sunday.
王牌好樂迪將會在四連戰的最後一場壓軸。
When asked about the possibility of pitching on short rest, Litsch seemed
enthused by the opportunity.
當 Litsch 小將被問到將中三日先發,他顯得興奮。
"That's something I would definitely be happy with," Litsch said Tuesday. "I've
done it before. Not necessarily at the pro level, but in college, stuff like
that. It's something to look forward to and it keeps you anxious. You want to
get back out there as quick as possible, and that's a day quicker."
Litsch:我很樂意那樣做,我以前就曾提前先發過了,不過是在大學時期。你會希望能趕快
再度先發,而這提早了一天。
All three pitchers would remain on regular rest to face the Red Sox again the
following weekend.
三位本週提早一場先發的投手在下週將恢復中四日先發。

我來唸歌 請您仔細聽,那個永公街上 說有一個奇怪的人。他每天行來行去 面黑黑又打赤
腳,不過他都行去滿滿的垃圾桶,找垃圾桶裡面別人拋棄的東西
他只在附近遊蕩,全村的人都知道他,我喜歡這樣稱呼他,說他是永公街的街長
他不癡 也不是傻瓜,他不狂 也不常說話,他的世界裡用著弔詭文法,他是永公街的街長
