Catchers May Have Hand in Yanks’ Pitching Problems 捕手可能在洋基的投手問題上有一支手 : By TYLER KEPNER ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑作者是他 : Since Alex Rodriguez came off the disabled list on May 8, the Yankees : have the best record in the major leagues at 23-12. Rodriguez has been a : reason, largely for how he has sparked Mark Teixeira, the team’s best : player this season. But like most teams, the Yankees depend mainly on their : pitching. 自從Arod於5/8回陣後，洋基的戰績是聯盟最好的23-12。Arod當然是大功臣，尤其是幫助洋基本季陣中最棒的球員－鐵爺的大爆發。然而洋基跟大部分的球隊一樣，非常仰賴投手戰力。 : “It’s great to have Alex back,” Derek Jeter said a week ago, “but I : don’t care who you have in your lineup, if you don’t pitch, you don’t : win.” 「Arod當然很重要，但我不管你的打線上有誰，投手投不好你就準備輸吧。」 Jeter說。 : The last week has borne that out. The Yankees have had one quality start : by a pitcher — at least six innings, no more than three earned runs — in : their last six games, by A. J. Burnett on Sunday against the Mets. It would : have been their only victory in that stretch if not for a dropped pop-up on : Friday. 上禮拜洋基剛好驗證了這句話－AJB投了一場優質先發，拿下了這系列戰唯一的一勝（如果不算那個再見失誤的話）。 : On the whole, the Yankees have lived dangerously. Their staff earned run : average is 4.84. Only three teams have a higher E.R.A., and they all : started Monday in last place in their divisions: the Cleveland Indians, : the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals. 整體而言洋基相當危險，洋基有著僅低於番人、金鳥、國民隊的4.84自責分率。 : General Manager Brian Cashman understands this, and that was why he : dismissed a question about closer Mariano Rivera on Sunday. Yes, Cashman : acknowledged, Rivera has struggled in non-save situations. But his : strikeout-to-walk ratio is a stellar 10.67, better than any season of his : career except 2008, and other problems are more pressing. 一般的經理人＄man當然也知道，因此才避談Mo的問題。＄man一定知道Mo今年陷入 Non-save的低潮，但一定也知道他今年有著生涯最高的SO/BB值（以及一堆越來越嚴重的問題）。 : “He’s the least of our concerns,” Cashman said. “Our biggest concern : is our rotation, aside of C. C. Everybody else is scuffling. If we don’t : get that consistent, the rest of it won’t make any difference.” : The bullpen, so shaky early on, is quietly coming together. Alfredo : Aceves, Phil Coke and Dave Robertson have a combined 1.56 E.R.A. this month, : with more strikeouts than innings pitched. Brian Bruney is expected to return : from the disabled list Tuesday against the Nationals. 「Mo還差的遠啦！我是說洋基的主要問題還是在輪值（當然CClemonC例外）。」＄man說。「如果先發都這樣搞，洋基只會重演去年惡夢。」牛棚本來很抖，但在本月Aceves、Coke、Robertson聯手演出1.56自責分率之後感覺好多了，甚至本月三振數比投球局數還多。還有Bruney準備要回來對上國民隊。 : C. C. Sabathia has thrived lately, but walks have infected the rest of the : rotation, possibly because of the way the ball travels at Yankee Stadium. : Through Sunday, Yankees pitchers were tied for 17th in the majors in walks : on the road. But in home games, they ranked second. Cashman said the : pitchers might be less aggressive at home, fearing that their fastballs : will land in the seats. CClemonC投的不錯但保送多了點，可能是球場的關係－洋基的保送在球隊中客場排名17 主場排名第2。＄man認為是因為投手比較擔心其會被夯出去所以投的比較抖。 : “We’re better than this,” he said. “It’s a concern. We definitely have : a brush fire of control going through this staff. It’s a problem, no doubt. : We’ve got a strikeout staff that should trust their stuff more than they : do.” 「我們必須更好，而投手也要更信賴他們的k功，不要太擔心球場的全壘打問題。」＄man said。（別忘了本篇重點是捕手，而下一段終於要講到捕手了！！！） : One unsettling fact for the Yankees is the difference when Jorge Posada : catches. With Posada behind the plate, the Yankees’ pitchers have a 6.31 : E.R.A. The combined E.R.A. with Francisco Cervelli, Jose Molina and Kevin : Cash is 3.81. 洋基另一個還沒解決的問題是－Posada蹲補時的ERA高達6.31，而Cervelli、Molina、 Cash三人合力演出ERA僅有3.81。 : Posada has caught four starts by Chien-Ming Wang, whose job status is now : evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Even removing those starts, the staff’s : E.R.A. with Posada is still high, at 5.47. Wang有四場給Posada蹲補，而目前陷入觀察是否能勝任先發，儘管Wang不先發，跟 Posada合作的ERA也高達5.47。 : Posada, 37, has handled many exceptional pitchers in his career. Although : some, like Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina, have preferred other catchers, : Posada does not have to apologize for his resume. Posada takes his job : seriously and is an emotional engine of the team. Posada與許多特別的人合作過－儘管巨怪和穆帥比較喜歡別人來蹲。Posada無需擔心，他做的很好也是球隊的開心果。 : Yet Burnett, in particular, seems to struggle with him. In Burnett’s four : starts pitching to Posada, opponents have batted .330. In nine starts with : the other catchers, the average is .223. 但AJB看來跟Posada合作特別不適應－被打擊率3成3，於此同時與其他捕手只有2成23 的被打擊率。 : When he lost a six-run lead in Boston in April, Burnett questioned the pitch : selection, though he blamed himself, not Posada. Asked Sunday about the : difference in pitching to the rookie Cervelli, Burnett gave a careful but : revealing answer. : “I think it’s just a matter of — I don’t know if it’s the catcher — but : we threw curveballs in fastball counts, we had them looking for something : and they had no idea what was coming, I don’t think,” Burnett said. : “That’s huge.” 當AJB那天對戰紅襪隊失去了六分領先時，他對配球有了點意見，儘管AJB只檢討自己，但當他週日與Cervelli合作之後的對答中，他小心的透露出一些東西：「我認為這有點...我不知道這是不是捕手的問題啦，但們我通常在速球後丟曲球試著迷惑打者讓他們找不到球，但我不認為如此。」（最後一句的That's huge不知道在比喻什麼） : Manager Joe Girardi has started Cervelli once in each of the five series : since Posada came off the disabled list May 29. But Posada remains an : elite hitter, and there is substantial value in having his bat in the : lineup. Only Teixeira has a better slugging percentage than Posada’s .568. : “Jorge is obviously that rare combination of being a catcher and an : offensive player,” Cashman said Monday. “Cervelli and Molina are more : one-sided, to the defensive side. I can’t really say why there’s a : difference. It could be sample size. It could be that the other guys are : just better defensive players.” Giradi讓Cervelli在Posada回陣後每五場戰都能先發一次，但Posada是個不錯的打者，有著僅次於鐵爺的長打率。「Posada不是個守與攻一樣優秀的人，但Cervelli 和Molina太偏防守型了。但這不真代表他們是，有可能是樣本數魂，也有可能他們的確就是防守型。」Giradi說。 : Girardi is the one who must match the catchers to the pitchers and make : the juggling work. The fate of the pitching staff and, by extension, the : season, might depend on it. Giradi必須要調和攻擊火力和投手的成績，這是未來的洋基非常需要解決的問題。 : http://tinyurl.com/mfq3qm 上次翻譯友人告訴我不要太倚賴google翻譯所以下面這篇是用Dr.eye翻譯翻的 : 2. : In defense of Jorge Posada 在Posada的防守裡 : After reading my e-mails for the last few days and looking at some comments : on the blog, I was surprised to learn that Jorge Posada apparently doesn’t : know how to catch. 這幾日閱讀信件時，我很訝異的發現Posada似乎忘了怎麼catch（指配球）了？ : Unlike the very wise Jose Molina and the very energetic Francisco Cervelli, : all Posada apparently does is swipe at pitches and argue with the pitcher. : Enough of this nonsense. The Yankees won three World Series championships : with Jorge Posada as their regular catcher and made the playoffs every year : with him catching. Then what happened last season? Posada barely played and : the Yankees went home in October. 不像很聰明的Molina和很有活力的Cervelli，Posada似乎只會揮掃球以及跟投手爭執？少鬼扯了！Posada蹲補時洋基打了三屆冠軍而且年年進季後賽，那去年呢？ Posada沒打到太多球，而洋基乖乖的看別人打季後賽！ : Was that why? I can’t prove that. No more so than anybody can prove that : Posada is the reason A.J. Burnett can’t throw strikes. : The catcher calls the pitch. Or as Posada likes to say, “I suggest a : pitch.” It’s up to the pitcher to execute that pitch or throw the pitch : he wants. The catcher at that point is there to make sure it doesn’t roll : to the backstop. 我無法證明什麼，就像別人也無法證明是Posada讓AJB三振不了人！捕手只指示或（如Posada說的）「只建議」球種，而最終決定權是在投手，捕手只負責不要漏接球。 : The idea that a catcher can regularly steal strikes by framing a pitch is : largely a myth according to Molina. “Maybe once or twice a game,” he said. : “Depends on the umpire.” : According to Molina, the umpires are judging where the ball crosses the : plate, not where the catcher’s glove is. 認為捕手可以騙到三振的說法是個大迷思，如Molina所說，「或許一兩場，端看主審。」Molina還說主審判斷好壞球是從進壘位置而非捕手手套。 : Posada is a strong-willed guy and his relationship with the pitchers is not : always a tea party. He got into a fight with El Duque Hernandez one day and : certain guys (Mike Mussina, for instance) didn’t want to throw to him. : But Roger Clemens always wanted to. He and Andy Pettitte have had a lot : of success together. And Mariano Rivera will tell anybody who asks what : he thinks of Posada and his ability to focus a pitcher. Posada有很強烈的意志，因此和投手之間不是總是相處融洽－曾經和Hernandez打架、曾經被Mussina不爽投球給他補、Pettitte跟他很蘇胡，至於Mo，他會跟任何人分享他對Posada的看法的。 : Joba Chamberlain laughed the other day when we asked him about his bickering : with Posada during his last start. “I probably should stop thinking so : much,” he said. “That’s when I get in trouble.” 當我們某日詢問Chamberlain和Posada爭執時，他笑著告訴我們「我不應該想太多的。」（無法辨識語意） : I will say this: When Molina comes off the DL, the Yankees should seriously : consider keeping Cervelli around as a third catcher. That would enable : Posada to DH more often. Cervelli is also fast enough to be used a pinch : runner on occasion. I can’t imagine how Cervelli would not be more useful : than Angel Berroa. : But Posada is the catcher. When he is catching, his offense gives them a : huge advantage at that position. When he is the DH, that advantage is : lessened. Their best lineup is when Posada is catching. 我只能說，當Molina出DL時，洋基應該審慎的使用Cervelli，這會讓他更快長大也能多讓他上場代跑，Posada能減輕守備負擔。我認為Cervelli比Berroa實用太多了。但Posada是捕手。Posada當捕手對打線的幫助也比較大。 : There have been some rocky moments this season. But let’s not forget that : the Yankees won a lot of of games over a lot of years with Posada catching. : He didn’t forget how. 今年洋基的路坎坷難行，但也別忘了Posada曾幫了洋基多少忙，他不可能忘記怎麼接補！ : http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/06/15/in-defense-of-jorge-posada/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.135.118
