Jeter Sees It’s Time That He Speaks Up

Derek Jeter of the Yankees adheres strictly to the baseball code that
anything that is said or seen in the clubhouse should stay in the clubhouse.
Jeter stresses that he sees no merit in discussing what the Yankees say or do
after reporters leave the clubhouse and the doors close.

As the Yankees have struggled for the first three months of the season, Jeter
has heard theories about how they can emerge from their slumber. The players
should have a meeting. The players should critique or motivate one another.
The players should do something. Maybe, Jeter said, the Yankees already have
done it.

“They think they know who is saying this and who is saying that,” Jeter
said of the team’s critics. “They think somebody should say this or say
that. In reality, people have no idea what’s going on.”

Jeter acknowledged, grudgingly, that there was something going on. There are
daily discussions happening on a team that has underachieved, and Jeter
initiates many of them. While Jeter, the team’s captain, did not specify
whom he had spoken to or what the topics had been, he said that he spoke “to
people constantly” to cajole or counsel.

Jeter has never been on a club that has been this dreadful this late in the
season. Now in his 12th full season, Jeter has been in the playoffs for 11
consecutive years and has helped the Yankees win four World Series titles.
But this is a different team and a different time.

When Jeter was asked if the Yankees’ malaise had caused him to be more vocal
than at any time since becoming captain in 2003, he said, “Ah, umm, yeah,
probably, I would think.”

It took Jeter a few seconds and a few stammers to reveal that sliver of
insight. Jeter has noticed that the losing has affected some players, so, in
his subtle way, he has been chattier.

“You got people that are going through things they’ve never been faced with
before,” Jeter said. “So, yeah, it’s probably safe to say that I’ve done
more of that.”

Mariano Rivera, the Yankees’ closer, and Jorge Posada, the catcher and Jeter
’s closest friend on the team, said Jeter has indeed had more discussions
with teammates.

Rivera said those conversations, even if they lasted a minute, could prod or
support a player and perhaps help the Yankees emerge from their funk. Before
last night’s 2-1 victory against Oakland, they had lost seven of their last
eight games and were 36-39.

“As the captain, you want people to know they can sit down and talk to you,”
 Rivera said. “We need that.”

Posada, who has joined Jeter and Alex Rodriguez as the only Yankees who have
performed exceptionally all season, said Jeter’s job as captain had been
tougher because the Yankees had been so inept.

“He’s got to be more vocal,” Posada said. “When things aren’t going
right, he’s the guy we follow.”

Actions, not words, are what the Yankees need most these days. Jeter provided
some of the former Thursday night in Baltimore. With the Yankees and the
Orioles tied, 6-6, in the eighth inning and the rain falling hard at Camden
Yards, Jeter slapped a two-run single against Chris Ray.

Once Jeter scooted to second on the throw home, he clapped his hands and
kicked his right leg up like a Rockette. Jeter said he was animated because
he was happy, but he was relieved, too, even if the Yankees have not yet
snatched a victory. The game was suspended because of the rain and will be
resumed on July 27.

“We didn’t give up,” Jeter said.

The Yankees have not given up, although, because of their disappearing
offense and ragged play, it has looked that way. Johnny Damon has wondered
aloud what Boston’s clinching number was in the American League East, a
sobering question for the Yankees to be pondering before July. Jeter did not
speculate about that number. He says the Yankees have played consistently for
only about two weeks this season, but that he still believes in them.

“If you don’t feel that way,” Jeter said, “that’s when you’re in
trouble.”

Then Jeter veered into a detailed description of how the Yankees should
prepare, which might hint at what he tells teammates.

“The thing that you have to try to remember when you come here every day is
that you have to feel as though you can win,” Jeter said. “I feel we have
the team. That’s what makes it frustrating. If it’s not frustrating, you’
re pretty much saying you don’t have the capability. I think we have the
capability.”

When Jeter was asked if the Yankees could win a championship, he quickly said
yes. Jeter added that he was confident that would happen, optimistic words he
desperately hopes are mirrored by actions.


就算洋基現在面臨困境 隊長還是認為他對拿下冠軍有信心

隊長Jeter遵守棒球場上的規定，在球員休息室所聽所聞不帶出休息室外。
隊長強調，記者們在離開休息室並關上門後，就不該將所聽見或看到的事公諸於世。

球季開始到現在三個月 隊長說他聽到相當多的理論包含如何讓積弱不振的洋基甦醒
球員需要再進行精神訓話或是球員間任何評論或是要激勵士氣等等球員應該要做些什
麼BALALA...隊長認為其實這些洋基都做到了
他們自以為是的認為誰說了這個、誰又說了那個，〞隊長說到那些對球隊吹毛求疵者︰
〝他們認為某些人應當說說這個或說說那個。事實上，這些旁觀者根本在狀況外。〞

隊長默認他有在進行某些事，戰績不好時的賽後檢討會，大多數是由隊長所發起的。
身為隊長，他並不想談論他和誰說了話亦或說了哪些事。他只說他會不斷的哄哄他們或
給予一些忠告。

這是隊長在大聯盟第十二個完整球季 這也是他連續第十一個年度大聯盟球季
他幫助洋基拿下四座世界大賽冠軍榮耀，但是隊長也默認他從未在這支球隊遭遇過這樣的
窘境

當問起是否自他2003年擔任起隊長以來，最近的洋基使得他變的比較嘮叨？他說︰〝哎呀
 ，呃，大概吧，我想我是。〞

隊長稍稍思考了一下，才娓娓透露一些口風。他注意到輸球時確實有些人會受到影響，
然而，很微妙的，他成了訴苦的對象。

〝你會發現有些人從未遇過這種事，〞隊長說︰〝嗯，比較保險的說法應該是︰這種事我
 遇到過比較多吧。〞

洋基的終結者--MO，以及隊長的至交--捕手POSADA，都說隊長確實和隊友在進行頻繁的會
 談。

MO說到那些會談，就算只是幾秒鐘，都能激勵並且支撐隊友，或許能幫助大家從洋基的低
潮中走出來。昨夜，他們以2比1戰勝運動家，在之前他們八場輸了七場，戰績36勝39敗。

〝做為一個隊長，你會希望隊友可以坐下來和你談談，〞MO說︰〝那也正是我們所需要的
"

〞Posada，和隊長及A-ROD，都是洋基這個季賽表現正常且出色的少數幾位。他說隊長
這季相當辛苦，因為洋基失常的表現。

這個球季因為洋基的失常表現，讓我們打的比較辛苦，但是當不順的事情一在的
   發生，隊長卻是我們效法的楷模。
   俗話說的好：「坐而言不如起而行」隊長在星期四晚上的比賽中，雖然天空下著滂沱
   大雨，他仍然適時的從Chris Ray手中敲出讓洋基能夠領先的安打，並且趁球未傳到
   本壘時迅速跑到二壘，隊長感到相當興奮的跟他們的偶像老克一般踢高右腿展現他的
心情

大門對紅襪在美聯東區大幅領先的數字深感納悶，洋基在七月之前該想個辦法要如何讓
自己清醒過來。

〝我們從未曾放棄過。〞隊長說。
縱使他們的打擊疲乏戰績難堪，洋基還是不會放棄。
隊長沒有去推測大約的數字，他說洋基這季只打了兩個星期的好球，但他仍舊相信他的隊
: 友。
: 〝如果你不是這樣想，〞隊長說︰〝那代表你有問題。〞
隊長詳細的描述洋基接下來如何調整備戰方位，我們也許可從其中猜測他都和隊友談了些
: 什麼。

〝你必須牢牢記住，當你每天來到這裡時，一定要帶著必勝的感覺。〞隊長說︰〝我感覺
: 的到我們整隊，因為沒有贏球而受到挫折。假如你沒有挫折感，那代表你沒有能力，我
想
: 我們都很有本領。(因為在乎所以才有挫折感)
當問起隊長洋基是否還有奪冠希望，他很快的回答有。他還附加說明他確信那將會發生，
: 他用行動來反映他強烈希望的樂觀言論。
