[新聞] Chamberlain impresses Leyland
重點: 兩個老教頭讚賞Joba及一些記錄
1. Chamberlain昨天投出了顯示在測速槍的100miles的快速球
2. 老虎老教頭Leyland說他不是看一局就被嚇到了, 而是他有條天賜的好手臂和噁心的
變化球。還說自己之前就曾在服飾店裡碰見Joba, 和他會過面, 便很想看看他投球的
狀況。
3. Chamberlain從熱身到走上投手丘都一直被歡呼, 且越來越大聲。老托說看來他應該會
有點飄飄然, 但是和他講話時, 你從他的眼睛裡卻看不到興奮的神色。他看來不像個
21歲的小朋友, 可以掌控事情且神情很放鬆。
4. Posada則說他很享受圍繞他的歡呼聲, 但卻能控制自己的情緒。
5. 這場比賽是Damon從七月23日後第一次守中外野, 他承認這位子已經屬於Melky了。雖
然還有一千三百萬年薪兩年的合約, 但從七月底前洋基到處探尋其他隊是否對他有興
趣的情況看來, 他瞭解自己未來的處境, 而且他11月就要滿34歲了。他說他了解未來
幾年先發的中外野手可能都是牛奶弟, 但他會扮演好自己兼職打零工(part-time)的
角色(偶而幹幹LF, 偶而幹幹DH, 有時當啦啦大隊)。大門連續九年至少140場比賽先
發上場的紀錄已經終止, 這場比賽是洋基122場比賽中他第90場先發的出賽。他說現
在以球隊為先, 如果能夠打進季後賽, 那一切絕對都值得了。(唉!場面話大師還是
不一樣, 但聽起來還是很辛酸)
6. 松井連續安打的場次已經來到12場, 為了讓第一輪選季簽下的長人Brackman能夠進
到40名單, 洋基DFA了Chris Basak, 立刻被雙城隊撿走。
7. 根據Elias Sports Bureau的紀錄, 怪力男Shelly Duncan是洋基史上第三個大聯盟
前六支全壘打全部在洋基球場打出來的, 前兩個的紀錄分別是Bobby Brown (前11
支全壘打,1947-50) 及 Aaron Robinson (前8支全壘打,1945) (這紀錄還真難達成
怪力男的全壘打該不會是主場限定吧)。Posada昨天滿36歲了。
Chamberlain impresses Leyland

Star-Ledger Staff
NEW YORK -- The cheers start when Joba Chamberlain begins warming up in the
bullpen and get louder as he takes the mound.
But Chamberlain's cult-hero status at Yankee Stadium has not affected his
pitching.
The Yankees' radar gun clocked three of Chamberlain's fastballs at 100 mph
last night as he worked the final inning against the Detroit Tigers.
Although the score was 6-1, and using Chamberlain last night means he cannot
be used today because of the rules the Yankees have in place, manager Joe
Torre wanted to bring in Chamberlain because he had not pitched since Monday.
"I'm not going to anoint him after one inning," Tigers manager Jim Leyland
said, "but he's pretty impressive.
"He's obviously blessed with a great arm and what looked like a nasty
breaking ball. I ran into him at a clothing store the other day and got a
chance to meet him, so I was looking forward to seeing him pitch."
Chamberlain has started his career with six scoreless innings, with two hits
allowed and nine strikeouts. The fans have taken to chanting "Job-ah,
Job-ah."
"It looks like it pumps him up," Torre said. "But when you talk to him, you
look in his eyes and you don't see that excited feeling.
"It's somebody older than a 21-year-old. ... He just comes in like he's going
to take care of business and he seems very relaxed with that."
Catcher Jorge Posada said Chamberlain is enjoying the excitement surrounding
him but keeping himself under control.
"It's great," Chamberlain said. "It's something you can't describe. There
were a lot of people here going crazy. That makes you feel good, you use that
energy to the best. Sometimes you let it get the most of you, you try to do
too much. But I've done a good job of slowing the game down and getting used
to the role."
Johnny Damon, who played center field for the first time since July 23,
conceded that the job belongs to Melky Cabrera.
With two years remaining on Damon's contract after this season, at $13
million per year, the Yankees -- who tried to gauge other teams' interest in
Damon in late July -- will have to figure out what to do with him. And Damon,
who turns 34 in November, knows it.
"It's definitely something I'll be thinking about," Damon said. "We'll just
have to wait and see. I think they can pretty much pencil in Melky as the
everyday center fielder for a number of years."
For now, though, Damon says he can deal with his part-time role.
"There was a day not too long ago," he said, "where you show up to the
ballpark, you know you're leading off playing center. Now it's different, but
you have to adjust for the team aspect of it."
Damon's nine-year streak of starting at least 140 games will come to an end.
Last night was just his 90th start in the Yankees' 122 games.
"(The rest of the season) is going to be pretty interesting," Damon said.
"We'll just have to keep mixing it in and keep thinking team first.
"If we finish up strong and make the playoffs, then it's definitely worth
it."
Hideki Matsui has a 12-game hitting streak. ... Infielder Chris Basak,
designated for assignment Wednesday when the Yankees signed top draft pick
Andrew Brackman to a major-league contract, was claimed off waivers by the
Minnesota Twins. Basak, who had been with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was
assigned to Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate in Rochester, N.Y.
Shelley Duncan, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, is just the third
player ever to hit his first six major-league homers at Yankee Stadium. The
others were Bobby Brown (first 11 homers, 1947-50) and Aaron Robinson (first
eight homers, in 1945). ... Posada turned 36 yesterday.
