Wilson, Lewis, Lee, Hunter to start; infielder German not on roster
註:只翻部分段落,前面板友提過重複的會略過不翻
ARLINGTON -- Rangers manager Ron Washington made it official on Wednesday.
C.J. Wilson will start in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series
against the Yankees on Friday at 7 p.m. CT on TBS at the Ballpark in
Arlington.
C.J.Wilson將會是第一戰先發~~
Right-hander Colby Lewis will follow and pitch in Game 2 on Saturday. The
Rangers will have to wait until Game 3 to pitch Cliff Lee, but Washington
still expressed confidence in having Wilson and Lewis lead off the ALCS
against the defending World Series champions.
"They may be [inexperienced] as far as starting in the postseason, but
they've thrown some tough ballgames throughout the year," Washington said.
"They are battle-tested. They helped us get here; I expect them to help take
us further. We have confidence in them. As long as they execute their
pitches, we'll be fine."
Wilson and Lewis, in making their first postseason starts, combined for 11
1/3 scoreless innings against the Rays in the AL Division Series. The
Rangers' rotation posted a 1.15 ERA in the series, the seventh lowest by a
Major League team in that round of the playoffs since postseason was expanded
in 1995. It's the fourth lowest by an AL team.
Wilson&Lewis第一輪合計11 1/3局無失分!!!
先發投手群在上個對光芒的系列賽中防禦率只有1.15,1995年改制以來第7低,美聯第四低
It's the bullpen that might be more of a concern, and the Rangers are going
to add a seventh reliever for the ALCS. The Rangers carried six relievers in
the ALDS against the Rays: closer Neftali Feliz, left-handers Darren Oliver
and Derek Holland, and right-handers Darren O'Day, Alexi Ogando and Dustin
Nippert.
但是牛棚可能會需要更多關注~~遊騎兵預計會帶7個RP進入ALCS~~
The Rangers wanted infielder Esteban German on the roster as a pinch-runner.
But now they prefer the extra reliever.
PR German將不會放在25人名單中~~
"Going into a seven-game series, we want to go with seven relievers,"
Washington said.
"7場比賽的系列賽,我們需要7個RP" Wash說
Left-hander Michael Kirkman is a strong candidate to get that spot. He had a
1.65 ERA in 14 games for the Rangers, holding opponents to a .161 batting
average. Left-handers hit .207 off him, but right-handers hit just .107. He
can also pitch multiple innings.
LHP Kirkman會是很強的候選者來獲得這位置~~本季ERA只有1.65,對手打率只有.161。
左打者打率.207,右打者則低到.107,他也可以投超過一局以上~~
Clay Rapada could be the other candidate. He is a left-hander who is
extremely tough on left-handed hitters. The only drawback is he is a
situational reliever who general pitches to just one or two batters at a
time. The other candidates are left-hander Matt Harrison and right-handers
Scott Feldman and Mark Lowe.
一人左Rapada,左投Matt Harrison,右投Feldman&Mark Lowe都有可能~~
The Rangers met on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the roster while the
players took the day off after finishing off the ALDS on Tuesday night with a
5-1 victory over the Rays at Tropicana Field.
While the starters were flourishing in the ALDS, the relievers were
struggling. They posted a 5.91 ERA in four games, allowing eight runs on 16
hits and five walks in 13 2/3 innings.
牛棚上個系列賽防禦率高達5.91...,13 2/3局裡被打16支安打,5次四壞丟8分....
Of the six relievers, only Oliver had ever pitched in the postseason before
this year.
上個系列戰中6位RP只有Oliver在本賽季之前有季後賽的經驗
"What we have is what we have," Washington said. "We just have to make these
guys believe in themselves. You can't teach experience. You have to go
through it. My young bullpen went through the experience, and that will help
them as we move forward."
The other issue that Washington and his staff are discussing is how to deploy
their first basemen and how much will they use Jorge Cantu, their
right-handed hitter at the position.
Wash和教練團在討論要如何使用一壘手Cantu&右打者(Moreland or Davis)
The original plan going into the playoffs was to have Cantu face left-handers
and Mitch Moreland face right-handers. That has changed. Cantu was 0-for-4
with three strikeouts in Game 1 of the ALDS and did not play again the rest
of the series. When the Rangers faced left-hander David Price in Game 5,
Moreland started at first base.
上一輪的計畫是右打Cantu預定面對左投,Moreland面對右投。
Cantu只出賽一場,打得很爛(和場邊隊友倒是玩得很開心 囧)。第五戰光芒派出左投
Price先發反而派出Moreland...
Now the Yankees expect to start left-hander CC Sabathia in Game 1 of the
ALCS. Andy Pettitte will also be in the rotation, and the Yankees could be
starting a left-hander in at least four games if the series goes the
distance.
洋基的先發左投有CC Sabathia&Andy Pettitte...
Washington said he will use Cantu, but is not sure how much, and he left open
the possibility that Moreland could still start against left-handers. He was
4-for-20 against left-handers during the regular season.
Moreland今年例行賽面對左投20支4...
"I will probably give Cantu a start or two against left-handers, because at
some point we're going to need him." Washington said. "I can't sit here at
some point and say when I'm going to do that. But Cantu is a reason why we're
here."
Washington said the Rangers will know more after they work out on Thursday
afternoon at the Ballpark in Arlington.
