Notes: Tsao proving worth in 'pen
曹在牛棚證明了他的價值
Righty reliever being called upon in critical situations
右投後援投手曹在緊要關頭被付予重任

SAN DIEGO -- The back end of a bullpen can be a fluid place, with roles
changing based on performance and not always well-defined.
It is interesting to note, however, the increasing importance of Chin-hui
Tsao in the way Dodgers manager Grady Little is slotting his relievers in
winnable games.
牛棚的後半段就像流動的液體一樣,隨著場上情勢的變化而伴演不同的角色.
我們可以從 Grady Little在可能獲勝的比賽中派曹上場,瞭解到曹在隊中日漸增加的
重要性.
Tsao, who had missed much of the past three years with Colorado because of
arm problems, made a strong run at a roster spot during Spring Training, but
was a victim of numbers and was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas. He's been called
up twice since, and this time perhaps to stay.
曹因為手臂的問題錯過了過去三年在Colorado的比賽,他在春訓時有很好的表現,
但願因為數據的問題而被送到Triple-A Las Vegas. 他本季從小聯盟被叫上來兩次, 而且
這次可能會一直留下來.
In Saturday night's game with the Padres, ahead 3-2, Little had Rudy Seanez
warming up in the sixth inning while starter Brett Tomko dueled with Greg
Maddux, but for the seventh inning, Seanez sat down and Tsao started
throwing, eventually called on to relieve Tomko and escaping an inherited
mess with a wild rundown double-play.
在星期六對Padres的比賽3-2落後,六局時Little要Rudy Seanez開始熱身,但到了第七
局, Seanez坐下來休息,在牛棚熱身的變成曹.曹接替Tomkog上場投球. 他以雙殺解決了
場上的混亂.
Tsao then pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning and hasn't allowed a run to score in
any of his six appearances, while yielding only one hit in 6 2/3 innings.
Even more impressive, he's inherited nine baserunners and none has scored,
which is why Little has the confidence to bring him into jams, the role that
fell to Giovanni Carrera in recent years and one that might be the toughest
for any reliever.
然後曹在下一局讓打者三上三下, 他在最近六次上場都未丟任何分數. 6 2/3 只被打
了一支安打. 更讓人印象深刻的是:他上場時壘上總計有九位上壘者,沒有任何一個人回
來得分.這是為什麼Little在場上出現混亂時有派他上場的信心. 這個任務最近幾年都是
落到Giovanni Carrera身上.
"He's given us no reason not to use him in more important roles," said
pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. "To me, each time out there's more validity
that he can handle any situation. We strive that the most important batter is
the first one and he's been getting that first batter out, he's attacking
him."
"他讓我們找不到任何藉口在重要時刻不派他上場." 投手教練Rick Honeycutt說.
"對我來說, 每一次他上場讓我們更確信他能應付任何局勢. 最重要的是面對的第一位打
者, 而他總是能讓他出局."
Catcher Russell Martin said he can understand why Tsao was destined to be the
Colorado Rockies' closer until injuries sidetracked his career.
補手Russell Martin說" 他能理解為什麼曹命中注定要成為Colorado Rockies的closer
, 但是病痛拖延了他的棒球生命."
"He's making nasty pitches," said Martin. "He's throwing strikes and going
after guys and not shying away. When he needs a ground ball, he keeps his
pitches down. When he needs a strikeout, he can reach back. He's got a good
slider, a splitter or change-up, plus he can throw really hard."
"他投的球讓打者難以處理"Martin說, "他能投出好球,並且會與打者對決,不會閃躲.
當他需要滾地球時,他會把球壓低; 當他需要三振對手時, he can reach back. 他有很好
的Slider, splitter或 change-up, 他還能很用力的投球."
Rundown: Tsao and Martin combined on an unusual rundown play that quashed the
threat inherited from Tomko in the seventh inning. With runners on first and
third and one out, Rob Bowen sent a well-placed bunt between the mound and
third-base line that nearly squirted past Tsao, but he made an athletic play
to stop the ball and caught Mike Cameron halfway between third and home.
概要: 曹和Martin合作完成了不尋常的play. 把Tomko遺留下的威脅清除. 一出局;一三壘
有人, Rob Bowen觸擊,把球打到投手丘和三壘之間, 球差一點就從曹的身邊穿過, 但是
曹以運動家般的身手將球攔下, 並且在三壘和本壘之間抓到Mike Cameron.
After running Cameron toward third, Tsao threw to third baseman Wilson
Valdez, who ran Cameron toward the plate and threw to Martin, who ran down
Cameron heading back to third. Meanwhile, Kevin Kouzmanoff had just about
made it from first to third base, but he abandoned third and retreated toward
second, which by now was occupied by Bowen. Martin, appearing to be running
the bases backward, chased down Kouzmanoff for the double-play.
在將Cameron趕到三壘後,曹將球丟給三壘手Wilson Valdez, Wilson將Cameron趕至
本壘,並且將球丟給Martin. Martin又將Cameron趕回三壘. 在此時, Kevin Kouzmanoff
才從一壘快要跑到三壘, 但是他又放棄三壘, 往二壘跑, 但此時二壘已有Bowen. Martin
追逐著Kouzmanoff完成這項雙殺.
"It was fun for me," Martin said. "You don't see that happen very often."
"這對我來說很有趣" Martin說. " 你不常看到這種事發生."
Kuo starts: Pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo began his injury rehabilitation assignment
in Las Vegas on Sunday by pitching two innings, allowing one run on one hit
(a double) with one walk and three strikeouts. He made 30 pitches. Yhency
Brazoban made his second rehab appearance in three games, striking out a pair
in a 1-2-3 inning for Las Vegas on Sunday.
郭先發: 投手郭泓志開始進行復健比賽, 他星期天在Las Vegas投了兩局,被打一支二壘安
打,丟了一分, 一次保送,三次三振. 他投了30球.
