網址：http://0rz.tw/3c43c Is Wang the new Pettitte? 王會變身新派派嗎？ Now that he's 6-0 in 2008, there's no longer any debate about whether Chien-Ming Wang belongs in the conversation with baseball's other top aces. The questions now are how high can his win total go this season, and how much more important he's been to the Yankees than just a pitcher with a solid won-loss record. 以2008目前的戰績6-0，再去吵王算不算頂尖王牌那一群的話題，實在很無聊。剩下的問題是，他這一季到底會拿多少勝？還有他對洋基會變得多重要？ Wang's 44 wins since 2006 place him four ahead of Brandon Webb for the most in the majors for any starting pitcher. But look at these numbers: 27-7, 22-6, 11-0. Those are the numbers related to Wang's starts the game after a Yankee loss. 從2006開始的44勝，比偉伯還多四場，讓王成為這段期間大聯盟最多勝投的先發。不過，先看看這些數字：27-7，22-6，11-0。這些和王在洋基敗戰後登板的成績有關。 Wang has taken the hill 34 times in his career the day after the Yankees lost the previous game. In thos games the Yankees are 27-7 overall; Wang's personal record is 22-6; and after last night's win, Wang is 11-0 in the last 11 starts after a Yankee loss. 洋基敗戰後王先發34次，其中洋基的紀錄是27-7，王自己的紀錄是22-6；而昨晚的勝投讓王在洋基敗戰後的紀錄是11連勝。 For years, starter Andy Pettitte was known as the streak stopper, the one Yankee starter who was so competitive that he took Yankee losses personally and went to the mound the day after a loss and stopped the other teams in their tracks. Time and again, Pettitte got the Yankees back onthe winning track. Now, apparently, that's Wang's job. 多年來，派派一直被認為是可以扛起敗戰陰影，讓洋基重回勝利軌道的先發。現在，很顯然，這已經變成小王的任務了。 For all Wang's success over the last three years, Yankee fans have never been sure whether or not he was a successor to a David Cone or a Pettitte as a knife-in-the-heart pitcher who could stare down an opposing batting order like a front-end ace should be able to do. But Wang's new pitch, the slider, looks more and more like an out pitch every time he throws it. he only had four strikeouts last night, as opposed to his nine last Sunday in Cleveland, but Wang is clearly now a top-level major league ace. It's still hard to believe, after last year's 19-win season, that Wang wasn't even in the top five of the Cy Young voting. That doesn't look like a problem this season. 即使王已經成功了三年，洋基迷仍然無法確定，他是否會成為像大衛孔恩或是派派這一類，光瞪眼就可以嚇壞敵方打線的頂尖王牌。不過，王的新球路-滑球-越來越能成為他的決勝球。雖然他昨晚只三振了五次（原文有誤），而不是上週日的九次，但他絕對可以算是聯盟的頂尖王牌了。很難相信，上賽季19勝的成績，王卻連賽揚的前五名都進不去。今年，大概不會再有這種問題了。 And Cy Young voters wil have to take into account not only Wang's record, but who he's beaten, head-to-head. I know pitchers always insist that they're not facing the other pitcher, but the other lineup, but when Wang has two wins already against a lights-out C.C. Sabathia and a hard-charging Bedard, that can't hurt his credentials when it comes time for the awards to be handed out. 賽揚的投票者除了考慮戰績之外，還必須注意一下他打敗了誰。我當然知道，投手總是說，他們面對的是對方打線，不是對方投手。不過，能贏過賽巴西和貝達德這種資歷，對得獎總是有幫助的。 And why stop at Cy Young? With the way the Yankees have needed wins, and with the way Wang has kept this team from being a lot worse than 15-16, has there been another player in baseball who has exemplified the word 'valuable' the way Wang has? To heck with Cy Young; bring on the MVP! 不過，幹麻只想著賽揚？以洋基迫切求勝的狀況，和王對於球隊的貢獻，這難道不是對［價值］這個字的最佳展現嗎？所以，去它的賽揚，來個MVP吧！（原文誤打為MYP） -- 這位作者比台灣人還會自HIGH！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.174.35.218
