Notes: More time for Mientkiewicz
Defensive superiority has first baseman spelling Giambi
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com


NEW YORK -- Playing his way back to the Yankees in August, Doug Mientkiewicz
said he took each of the at-bats of his rehab assignment seriously. He had
to. They might have been his last chances to see live pitching for some time.
小明說他八月打復健賽時非常認真

Last month's focused attitude is paying dividends in September. Taking
advantage of an opportunity given on Saturday in Boston and with potential
postseason matchups looming, Mientkiewicz has reappeared for manager Joe
Torre as an appealing defensive option to Jason Giambi's offensive thump.
因為對紅襪的割喉戰 老托選擇防守好的小明上場

"I feel like what I do best really shows up in October," Mientkiewicz said.
"If Joe wants Jason to play, who argues [with] that? The guy's got an MVP on
his mantel and World Series experience, too. Jason and I just want to give
Joe an option. It can't hurt to have guys that are playing well. It may not
be an easy decision, but it's a good decision to have."
小明說 他要老托很難選

Mientkiewicz started for the third consecutive game on Tuesday, manning first
base against the Orioles. Giambi was originally to have played, but he was
scratched from the lineup after being hit on the top of his right foot with a
pitch, leaving a bruise but keeping him available to pinch-hit.
小明連續三場出賽 本來大吉要先發守一壘 但上一場被觸身球打到瘀傷 只能代打

When the Yankees signed Mientkiewicz in January, the organizational reasoning
had been that the offense was potent enough to carry a modest offensive
player like Mientkiewicz, even at a traditional power position like first
base.
一月簽他的時候 是看上他的防守

But Mientkiewicz became a quick target after starting slowly, and just when
his hitting began to come around, he was nearly lost for the season after
suffering a concussion and a broken right wrist after a first-base collision
at Fenway Park on June 2.
但小明開季低潮 到六月二號在芬威又受傷

The lost time has ensured that he will have his lowest at-bat total since
2000 and also that he should glance away when his batting average -- .241
entering play on Tuesday -- hits the center-field matrix board.
受傷讓他創下生涯最少打數

"I'm not looking anymore," Mientkiewicz said. "I made it a point that when I
come back, I get a fresh start. I don't know if you guys know this, but the
chances of me driving in 100 runs are pretty much gone."
小明說 他希望回來能有個全新的開始

In his first two starts since returning, Mientkiewicz hit a little -- he had
two hits off Curt Schilling in Boston on Sunday and another on Monday. He
credits hitting coach Kevin Long for working with him in the cages since his
Sept. 1 activation, but Mientkiewicz has still made more of an impact with
his late-season presence and daring defensive play.
回來剛開始他打不多 他信任打擊長教練

"We have enough offense to where I can do the little things to help us win
games," Mientkiewicz said.
從小地方做起 幫助球隊

In one memorable sequence at Fenway Park, Mientkiewicz stabbed a ground ball
and dove for the first-base bag, deftly rolling into foul territory to avoid
being stepped on by the oncoming baserunner.
小明在芬威美技防守

If October arrives, Torre will be forced to weigh such images against the
power potential of Giambi, who is hitting just .148 (4-for-27) with two
homers and six RBIs this month but had a clutch pinch-hit on Sunday to help
set the stage for Derek Jeter's three-run homer off Schilling. Utility man
Wilson Betemit could be the odd man out; Andy Phillips surely would have also
merited consideration had he not fractured his right wrist.
大吉是攻擊考量 但最近低潮 工具人Betemit也可以 飛利浦沒受傷的話也是候選人

"It all enters into it," Torre said. "You have to factor in the opposing
pitcher and our pitcher, as far as the ground balls. You'd like to believe
that you'd always be right, but you weigh one against the other. Mientkiewicz
could have gone 0-for-4 [on Sunday], but he saved two runs in the first
inning. It's certainly something that's in our minds."
老托說他會衡量 例如星期天小明打擊沒表現 但在第一局救下兩分

Save it for later: At some point after the season, Hideki Matsui says he
would like to submit to an analysis of his aching knees, revealing just what
has caused them to ache through the course of this season, and determine what
actions are necessary.
松井曾表示要評估他的膝蓋

But he is not curious enough to want to find out now. Matsui homered for the
first time since Aug. 8 on Monday, ending a string of 122 at-bats. He said
that the knees were not the overriding factor in his recent struggles,
however; Matsui went 4-for-27 (.148) on the Yankees' three-city road trip and
is hoping that some home cooking will settle his swing.
但現在他不想 因為已經轟了八月八日以來的第一支全壘打 他不認為打擊低潮是因為膝蓋

"Because the results aren't there, you're just pressing and pressing," Matsui
said through an interpreter. "You're trying to force the swing. That was
happening to me. That was really what was more of the main issue."
松井日本話

It has been suggested that Matsui, who started in left field on Tuesday, may
have been dragging with a tired bat. Matsui said that he has not been any
more fatigued than normal at this point in the season; Torre pointed to the
fact that Matsui has logged 29 games as a designated hitter as evidence of
efforts to keep him fresher.
打了很久的DH 應該休息夠了

"We've given him plenty of time off," Torre said. "He's DHed more this year
than he has his whole career. That certainly is a benefit, and he likes it.
If you're mentally pressing a little bit, that'll make you tired
automatically. But I don't think it's anything physical."
老托認為不是體能上的問題

Light bullpen: With Mariano Rivera shelved for the evening, Torre was asked
who his closer might be on Tuesday night. He didn't have much of an answer.
Mo休息 老托被問到禮拜二的終結者是誰

"The guy who pitches last, I guess," Torre said.
他說  他猜是最後一個投球的人(**老托笑話 不錯笑**)

A not-ready-for-prime-time bullpen was pushed into effect with Rivera, Joba
Chamberlain, Kyle Farnsworth and Luis Vizcaino all out of commission for
various reasons. Torre said that Rivera had pushed to be considered to pitch
since he threw only six pitches (all strikes) on Monday, but Farnsworth's
ineffectiveness in the ninth inning forced the Yankees to warm up the closer
and burn him for a day.
牛棚裡Mo 小張  放肆火和LV都因為各種不同的理由不能上場

"We're going to have to rely on some of the newcomers," Torre said, naming
Brian Bruney, Ross Ohlendorf, Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras. 
老托說要找新人 那就是....

Bombers bits: Johnny Damon is likely to receive a day off Wednesday. ... The
Yankees will throw, in order, Chien-Ming Wang, Ian Kennedy, Roger Clemens and
Phil Hughes against the Blue Jays. ... Torre told Vizcaino he had recorded
the toughest out of Tuesday's game, striking out Kevin Millar with the bases
loaded in the eighth.
大門星期三可能會休息 對藍鳥的投手依序是王建民 甘迺迪 老克和大帝
老托告訴LV他贏得史上最艱難出局獎 在第八局兩出局滿壘時 把Millar三振

Coming up: The Yankees will complete their three-game series with the Orioles
on Wednesday, sending left-hander Andy Pettitte (13-8, 3.89 ERA) to the mound
against left-hander Brian Burres (6-5, 5.47 ERA). First pitch is set for 7:05
p.m. ET on the YES Network.
接下來 洋基金鶯三連戰最後一場  派帥 vs Burres 7:05開打
