Phillips Makes Case to Stay, and Igawa Doesn’t

Phillips打出了讓他可以留下來的成績, 但是井川慶沒有.

Published: July 17, 2007

Andy Phillips homered in his first major league at-bat, in 2004, and it
sometimes seems as if it has been all downhill since. He has had an emotional
Yankees career, learning hard the lesson that timing is everything. Now, at
last, it may be his time.

Phillips2004年大聯盟第一打席就打出全壘打, 此後一直在走下坡.
他在洋基學到了"時機"是很重要的.
終於, 現在他的時機到了!

Phillips singled in the go-ahead runs in the sixth inning to lift the Yankees
over the Toronto Blue Jays last night, 6-4. It was the Yankees’ ninth
victory in their past 12 games, and the second in a row in which Phillips
drove in the pivotal run.

Phillips在六局打出了取得領先分數的安打, 帶領洋基以6-4打敗了藍鳥.
這是洋基過去12場比賽裡的第9場勝利.
這是連續兩場, Phillips打回了重要得分.

“It’s a lot of joy to see what he’s doing, especially with what he’s been
through,” said Jorge Posada, who singled to start the two-out, tie-breaking
rally against Josh Towers. “He’s come out here and getting a chance to
play, and he’s doing everything we ask for. It’s a lot of fun to see.”

"看他打球是充滿樂趣的一件事, 尤其是在他經歷過那些事後." Posada說.
"他得到上場的機會, 他完成了我們希望的所有事. 看他打球真有趣!."

Phillips is batting .375 this month, with the trading deadline two weeks
away. Last July, as he helped his wife recover from cancer and a lost
pregnancy, he played regularly and batted .165. The Yankees traded for a
veteran first baseman, Craig Wilson, and Phillips became an afterthought.

Phillips本月打擊率是.375, 距交易大限只剩兩週.
去年七月, 他固定地上場, 打擊率只有.165. 他正幫助他老婆從癌症和流產復原.
洋基交易來老將一壘手Craig Wilson.

In the winter, the Yankees tried again to replace Phillips, adding Josh
Phelps and giving him Phillips’s job in spring training. Phelps outperformed
Phillips, who lost time as he helped his mother learn to walk again after a
serious car accident. Phillips cleared waivers and reported to the minors.

冬天時, 洋基又再一次試著取代Phillips, 補上了Phelps, 在春訓時做Phillips的工作.
Phelps表現的比Phillips好. Phillips照顧他母親於車禍後學習走路花掉太多時間.
Phillips隨後到小聯盟報到.

Manager Joe Torre pledged to play Phillips regularly after his promotion in
June, but Phillips started once and Torre benched him for a week. Phillips
has started in 14 of 16 games since, and his play may have convinced the
Yankees that he finally warrants a long look.

Torre在六月叫回Phillips時誓言讓他固定地擔任一壘手.
但Phillips先發了一次, 然後又坐了一星期的板凳.
之後16場比賽, Phillips先發了14場.
他的表現說服了洋基.

“I’m happy I’m seeing what I’m seeing,” Torre said. “He works hard, and
he’s the type of guy you want to pull for.”

"我很高興對於我所看到的一切." Torre說.
"他很努力表現, 他是你想要拉拔的那種人."

Before Phillips’s single — a blooper to center on a 1-2 slider — every run
in the game had scored on a homer. The Yankees hit three, including the 496th
of Alex Rodriguez’s career and Hideki Matsui’s sixth in the past 10 games.
Robinson Cano' homered and doubled, and Toronto’s Troy Glaus had two home
runs and a triple.

在Phillips打出內外野間的安打之前, 這場比賽的所有的分都靠全壘打.
洋基打了三支. A-Rod生涯的第496支; 松井過去10場比賽的第六支;
Cano打了全壘打和二壘安打. 藍鳥的Glaus有2支全壘打和1支三壘安打.

Phillips’s production at the bottom of the order tempers the Yankees’ need
for a midlevel first baseman like Shea Hillenbrand. They have no plans to
trade any of their top pitching prospects for an elite first baseman like the
Texas Rangers’ Mark Teixeira, meaning Phillips could keep his job.

Phillips在後半段提供的火力, 減緩了洋基找尋像Hillenbrand一樣中等水準一壘手
的需求.
他們沒有計劃用他們的prospects去換像Teixeira一樣的優秀一壘手.
這代表Phillips能持續保有他的工作.

“It certainly crosses your mind,” Phillips said. “Anytime you’re up here,
that’s your hope. You’re trying to accomplish something and solidify what
you’re trying to do. But it’s not what consumes you every day, because then
you start adding pressure.”

"我當然這樣想過." Phillips說.
"任何時候你在場上, 這就是你的希望."
"你試著想要去完成某件事, 和讓一切更堅固. 但你不能讓它每天消耗你, 因為你會不斷地
 增加自己的壓力."

Feeling that pressure, Phillips said, was a burden for him in previous
stints. When Phillips returned to the Yankees this season, Torre anticipated
the problem and told him not to worry if he had a bad day because he would be
getting more at-bats.

這樣的壓力在前幾次上到大聯盟都是Phillips的沉重負擔.
當本季Phillips又回到洋基, Torre預期到會有這樣的問題.
Torre告訴Phillips: 如果你今天打不好, 不用擔心! 因為你有更多的上場機會來表現.

“A different approach helps, coming in and having fun and not putting
pressure on myself to feel I have to do something heroic,” Phillips said. “
Mr. T was huge in that.”

"另一種方法幫助了我, 在球場上盡量享受樂趣, 不要給自己壓力要成為英雄."Phillips說
"T先生在這方面真的很厲害."

One Yankee whose job seems more vulnerable is starter Kei Igawa, who waded
through five innings last night. With Phil Hughes and Jeff Karstens scheduled
to make rehabilitation starts this week for Class AA Trenton, Igawa had an
uneven outing.

一位快要丟了工作的洋基選手是---先發投手井川慶.
他昨天努力地投完五局.
當Hughes和Karstens都預計本週會在2ATrenton進行復健先發, 井川慶的表現是不對稱的.

He never retired more than three hitters in a row and required three visits
from the pitching coach Ron Guidry. Yet the Blue Jays often struggled to pick
up his patterns, striking out seven times and taking several awkward swings.

他從未連續解決三名打者, 而且需要讓Guidry三次上去投手丘討論.
可是藍鳥的打者通常都掙扎地要找出井川慶的投球節奏, 他們被三振了7次, 有七次笨拙
的揮擊.

That was a sign that Igawa had good stuff, though he walked 4, threw 115
pitches and rushed himself at times. As usual, he was disappointed.

這代表井川慶有很好的stuff, 雖然他保送了4次, 投了115球, 有時候會使自己倉促行事.
如往常一樣, 他是沮喪的.

“It was not good,” Igawa said through an interpreter. “Every inning I had
runners on base. I never had a clean, three-out inning. That’s what I’m not
satisfied about.”

"我表現的並不好."井川慶透過翻譯說.
"每一局我都讓打者上壘. 我沒有一局是三上三下. 這是我不滿意的地方."

The Yankees could bolster their bullpen through a trade, although Luis
Vizcai'no worked a 1-2-3 eighth inning last night as Torre gave the
struggling Kyle Farnsworth the night off, citing Farnsworth’s recent
workload. Scott Proctor (2-5) pitched two innings for the victory, and
Mariano Rivera earned his 14th save.

洋基可以透過交易來提升牛棚戰力, 雖然昨天LV第八局投了一個三上三下.
Torre讓表現掙扎的Farnsworth休息一天.
Proctor(2勝5敗)投了兩局贏得勝投.
Mo贏得第14個救援點.

Vizcai'no has a 1.23 earned run average since May 28, and Farnsworth’s
E.R.A. is three runs higher in that time.

LV自從5月28日以來的防禦率是1.25.
在此同時, Farnsworth防禦率提高了3分.

But Torre said he had not considered giving Vizcai'no the regular
eighth-inning role.

但是Torre說:他並沒有考慮讓LV固定投第八局.

“Farnsie has the most experience doing that for the eighth and the ninth; he
was a closer, too,” Torre said. “I’d have to see something really bad from
him where he was very inconsistent, and I haven’t seen that.”

"Farnsworth是最有經驗投第八和九局的人; 他也是一個終結者." Torre說.
"我必須要看到他表現的非常不好, 非常的不一致. 而我還未看到."

INSIDE PITCH

After not batting third for his first 11 games this month, Bobby Abreu hit
there for the second game in a row. “I want to leave Abreu there,” Joe
Torre said. “I think he’ll get better pitches to hit and he’ll do what he
does.” ... Matt DeSalvo will start one of the games of Saturday’s
doubleheader against Tampa Bay. DeSalvo is 6-2 with a 2.24 E.R.A. at Class
AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. ... Jason Giambi, who has been out since May 31
with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, has started his running program in
Tampa, Fla. He is probably at least three weeks from returning. ... The flags
at Yankee Stadium flew at half-staff to honor the memory of police officer
Russel Timoshenko, who was shot last week during a traffic stop in Brooklyn.
Timoshenko, 23, died Saturday.

Abreu連續第2場回到第三棒.
Torre說: 我要讓他打第三棒. 他會有較好的球打.

DeSalvo會在星期六的雙重賽其中一場先發.
DeSalvo在3A的成績: 6勝-2敗  ERA 2.24

Giambi在坦帕開始他的跑步課程.
他最少還要三週才會回來.

洋基球場降半旗來紀念殉職的警官Russel Timoshenko.(23歲)
