Spin Forward: Key rotation decisions
Yankees go with Wang, Tribe sticks with Byrd for Game 4
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com

NEW YORK -- It may turn out to be the pivotal decision of their American
League Division Series, but the Yankees' manager chose to move up his top
pitcher to Monday night's now critical Game 4, while the Indians' skipper
stayed with his planned series rotation.

Toree決定要把他的首號先發小王挪到星期一晚上的第四戰
而笑臉人的老大則決定維持原來的先發次序

skipper:(球隊等的)隊長;領導者;主管

The net result could be a decisive Game 5 on Wednesday night back at Jacobs
Field and a seismic shift in the best-of-five series.

這個結果很可能會成為星期三在笑臉人主場的決定性第五戰
同時也是兩隊五戰三勝的系列中一個相當大的調度

decisive:決定性的
seismic:劇烈的

The long and the short of it is that Paul Byrd, a 15-game winner, will start
for the Tribe on Monday at Yankee Stadium because manager Eric Wedge decided
to save C.C. Sabathia for the possible climatic fifth game. Meanwhile, Joe
Torre opted to start Chien-Ming Wang on three days' rest instead of Mike
Mussina in the penultimate game and will have veteran left-hander Andy
Pettitte on his regular rest for the possible finale.

笑臉人在星期一洋基球場的先發將會是15勝的Byrd
因為Wedge決定將CC留到可能的第五場回到主場
Torre則是決定讓小王以中三日上場先發主投倒數第二場比賽
取代原訂的 Mussina
而Andy則是按照他的原先輪休方式主投可能的決賽

penultimate:倒數第二的


"Yeah, yeah, we're going to move forward just as we had planned," Wedge said
after the Yanks came from behind to win Game 3, 8-4, and halve the deficit to
2-1 in the series. "Byrdie will be on the mound and we'll go from there. You
know, it's where we are. We knew we were going to need four starters if it
went that far in the series. And that's where we're at. That's what we're
going to go with."

在洋基從落後以8-4嬴得第三戰後，且將頹勢扳成2-1後
Wedge說，就像我們原訂的方式，我們會繼續走下去
鳥仔(Byrdie)將會主投
如果戰線需要打到第四戰，我們知道需要四個SP

halve:將...減半
deficit:赤字、不足…

Wedge has two 19-game winners to juggle. And his decision leaves Fausto
Carmona, who three-hit the Yankees over nine innings in Friday's 2-1,
11-inning victory at the Jake, out in the cold for the remainder of this
series. Carmona will get Game 1 of the AL Championship Series, which opens on
Friday night in Boston, if the Indians get that far. But the point is getting
that far.

Wedge有兩個19勝投手可以調度
而他決定讓僅讓洋基九局擊出三隻安打的Carmona在這場系列賽中坐板凳
如果笑臉人取得這系列賽的勝利，Carmona將會主投星期五在Boston的ALCS第一場

(這麼說來Carmona，你這個球季已經沒機會先發了啦~~( ￣ c￣)y▂ξ)

juggle:玩雜耍;變戲法


Torre, who finds himself under threat of losing his job if the Yanks succumb
in this series, isn't taking any chances.

發現如果洋基在這場系列賽出局，自己則要捲鋪蓋走路的Torre不想冒任何的險

succumb:死亡、被壓垮

Wang may have had an awful Game 1, allowing eight runs on nine hits in 4 2/3
innings of a 12-3 loss, but Torre has every confidence that he'll rebound at
the Stadium after Thursday's 94-pitch performance. After all, in finishing
19-7 this season, Wang had a 4.91 ERA on the road and a 2.75 ERA in New York,
where he was 10-4.

王在第一場可能表現很差
4又2/3局中 8分責失  9安  最後球隊以12-3落敗
但是Torre對他還是很有信心，認為他會從那場比賽中走出來
無論如何，在主場王有10勝4敗，ERA2.75 的成績


"Well, he's a 19-game winner, he's pitched well at the Stadium, and we relied
on him so much," Torre said about the decision. "Taking nothing away from
Moose [Mussina], he hasn't pitched in a while. Certainly I made [Mussina]
aware before the game that we were going to decide later who was going to
pitch. And he was comfortable with that. And I just told him afterwards that
it was going to be Wanger, and he said, 'Fine.'"

「Well，他是個19勝投手，在洋基球場表現不錯，這個球季來我們一直仰頼著他」
(這話說的真是公道呀~~~) Torre這麼解釋著他的決定

這對Moose不會有什麼損害，他有好一段時間沒有投了
當然，在賽前我已經跟Mosse知會過
這一場是王的，「okay的」Moose也對這樣的決定相當理解


Then, of course, there's the specter of having Pettitte ready for Game 5. The
left-hander is 14-9 in postseason play and would be making his 36th playoff
start. In Game 2, he pitched into the seventh inning, allowing seven hits,
but no runs, putting the Yankees squarely in position to win the game, which
they didn't.

當然，對於Andy是不是能擔當第五戰也是個冒險
在第二戰，他主投了七局，7安，但是沒有失分
使得洋基有機會嬴球，但是他們沒有  (Orz)

specter:恐怖之物

Sabathia, for his part, was shaky himself in Game 1, throwing 114 pitches
through five innings, while walking six and allowing three runs on five hits.
Sabathia's started on three days'
rest only once in his career, on the last day of the 2001 season when he
pitched five innings against the Royals, allowed only two hits, and earned
the win.

Sabathia在第一戰表現也不太穩，五局114球中，保送6位，被打五安，失三分
之前只有在2001年對上皇家時有過中三日先發
那場比賽他主投五局，被打二安打嬴得比賽

"I would've been ready to go if [Wedge] asked me, no doubt," Sabathia said.
"But Byrdie has been coming through for us all year. That was not even a
question, I don't think. He's pitched well. He's a 15-game winner. He
definitely deserves it."

「如果教練叫我出場，我想毫無疑問的，我已經準備好了」CC這麼說
但鳥仔這一季表現的相當不錯，他是個15勝投手
他理所當然可以主投第四場

The Indians have been through this well in the past with disastrous results,
using the likes of Jaret Wright, Charles Nagy and Bartolo Colon on three
days' rest. There's also the fact that the Yankees are desperate for a win to
tie the series, while the Indians still have two shots at it.

笑臉人過去也用過中三日，像是Wright, Nagy,與Colon但是結果都蠻慘的。
事實上洋基也需要挺而走險的將系列賽追成2-2平手，而笑臉人還有兩次機會

desperate:情急拼命的,鋌而走險的

"It's all situational," Indians GM Mark Shapiro said before the game. "I
don't have a categorical opinion on it. I'm a believer in it in the right
situations. It depends on how many pitches that guy threw the outing before,
how hard he had to work, where your team is, what's at stake and who the
alternative is. Everything has got to be examined. I think you have to be
down 2-1, not up 2-1, to think about doing it."

stake:賭注

「這些都要看狀況」笑臉人GM Shapiro賽前這麼說
我對這個決定沒有什麼意見，我只相信正確的狀況
這取決於這傢伙之前投了多少球，以及他的努力、賭注有多大以及選項有誰
每一件事都必須被檢視，只有2-1落後的人需要煩惱這些，不是2-1領先的人

(唉，說的一點也沒錯，換成洋基2-1領先誰要派小王中三日呀?)

If Wedge thought about it, he didn't give any indication. Torre in contrast,
made the move.

如果Wedge也這麼想，他並沒有任何指示 而Torre這麼做了

indication:指示
