重點: 兩個老教頭讚賞Joba及一些記錄 1. Chamberlain昨天投出了顯示在測速槍的100miles的快速球 2. 老虎老教頭Leyland說他不是看一局就被嚇到了, 而是他有條天賜的好手臂和噁心的變化球。還說自己之前就曾在服飾店裡碰見Joba, 和他會過面, 便很想看看他投球的狀況。 3. Chamberlain從熱身到走上投手丘都一直被歡呼, 且越來越大聲。老托說看來他應該會有點飄飄然, 但是和他講話時, 你從他的眼睛裡卻看不到興奮的神色。他看來不像個 21歲的小朋友, 可以掌控事情且神情很放鬆。 4. Posada則說他很享受圍繞他的歡呼聲, 但卻能控制自己的情緒。 5. 這場比賽是Damon從七月23日後第一次守中外野, 他承認這位子已經屬於Melky了。雖然還有一千三百萬年薪兩年的合約, 但從七月底前洋基到處探尋其他隊是否對他有興趣的情況看來, 他瞭解自己未來的處境, 而且他11月就要滿34歲了。他說他了解未來幾年先發的中外野手可能都是牛奶弟, 但他會扮演好自己兼職打零工(part-time)的角色(偶而幹幹LF, 偶而幹幹DH, 有時當啦啦大隊)。大門連續九年至少140場比賽先發上場的紀錄已經終止, 這場比賽是洋基122場比賽中他第90場先發的出賽。他說現在以球隊為先, 如果能夠打進季後賽, 那一切絕對都值得了。(唉!場面話大師還是不一樣, 但聽起來還是很辛酸) 6. 松井連續安打的場次已經來到12場, 為了讓第一輪選季簽下的長人Brackman能夠進到40名單, 洋基DFA了Chris Basak, 立刻被雙城隊撿走。 7. 根據Elias Sports Bureau的紀錄, 怪力男Shelly Duncan是洋基史上第三個大聯盟前六支全壘打全部在洋基球場打出來的, 前兩個的紀錄分別是Bobby Brown (前11 支全壘打,1947-50) 及 Aaron Robinson (前8支全壘打,1945) (這紀錄還真難達成怪力男的全壘打該不會是主場限定吧)。Posada昨天滿36歲了。 Chamberlain impresses Leyland Saturday, August 18, 2007 BY ED PRICE Star-Ledger Staff NEW YORK -- The cheers start when Joba Chamberlain begins warming up in the bullpen and get louder as he takes the mound. But Chamberlain's cult-hero status at Yankee Stadium has not affected his pitching. The Yankees' radar gun clocked three of Chamberlain's fastballs at 100 mph last night as he worked the final inning against the Detroit Tigers. Although the score was 6-1, and using Chamberlain last night means he cannot be used today because of the rules the Yankees have in place, manager Joe Torre wanted to bring in Chamberlain because he had not pitched since Monday. "I'm not going to anoint him after one inning," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said, "but he's pretty impressive. "He's obviously blessed with a great arm and what looked like a nasty breaking ball. I ran into him at a clothing store the other day and got a chance to meet him, so I was looking forward to seeing him pitch." Chamberlain has started his career with six scoreless innings, with two hits allowed and nine strikeouts. The fans have taken to chanting "Job-ah, Job-ah." "It looks like it pumps him up," Torre said. "But when you talk to him, you look in his eyes and you don't see that excited feeling. "It's somebody older than a 21-year-old. ... He just comes in like he's going to take care of business and he seems very relaxed with that." Catcher Jorge Posada said Chamberlain is enjoying the excitement surrounding him but keeping himself under control. "It's great," Chamberlain said. "It's something you can't describe. There were a lot of people here going crazy. That makes you feel good, you use that energy to the best. Sometimes you let it get the most of you, you try to do too much. But I've done a good job of slowing the game down and getting used to the role." Johnny Damon, who played center field for the first time since July 23, conceded that the job belongs to Melky Cabrera. With two years remaining on Damon's contract after this season, at $13 million per year, the Yankees -- who tried to gauge other teams' interest in Damon in late July -- will have to figure out what to do with him. And Damon, who turns 34 in November, knows it. "It's definitely something I'll be thinking about," Damon said. "We'll just have to wait and see. I think they can pretty much pencil in Melky as the everyday center fielder for a number of years." For now, though, Damon says he can deal with his part-time role. "There was a day not too long ago," he said, "where you show up to the ballpark, you know you're leading off playing center. Now it's different, but you have to adjust for the team aspect of it." Damon's nine-year streak of starting at least 140 games will come to an end. Last night was just his 90th start in the Yankees' 122 games. "(The rest of the season) is going to be pretty interesting," Damon said. "We'll just have to keep mixing it in and keep thinking team first. "If we finish up strong and make the playoffs, then it's definitely worth it." Hideki Matsui has a 12-game hitting streak. ... Infielder Chris Basak, designated for assignment Wednesday when the Yankees signed top draft pick Andrew Brackman to a major-league contract, was claimed off waivers by the Minnesota Twins. Basak, who had been with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was assigned to Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate in Rochester, N.Y. Shelley Duncan, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, is just the third player ever to hit his first six major-league homers at Yankee Stadium. The others were Bobby Brown (first 11 homers, 1947-50) and Aaron Robinson (first eight homers, in 1945). ... Posada turned 36 yesterday. Dan Graziano and Lisa Kennelly contributed to this report.
