Enough with the heavy metal closers!
受够重金属音乐了!
So many closers enter the game to heavy metal, there should be umlauts over
the names on their jerseys.
许多球队终结者会伴随着重金属音乐进场,歌曲名称应绣在球员球衣背后的名字上方
San Diego's Trevor Hoffman enters to AC/DC's "Hells Bells." Baltimore's Chris
Ray uses Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dream." Minnesota's Joe Nathan uses Dio's
"Stand Up and Shout." White Sox closer Bobby Jenks uses P.O.D.'s "Boom."
Texas' Eric Gagne uses Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle." Toronto's B.J
. Ryan uses Slipknot's "Duality." Milwaukee's Francisco Cordero uses Saliva's
"Click, Click Boom," while fellow Brewer Derrick Turnbow uses "Fuel" by
Metallica. Yankee Mariano Rivera and Met Billy Wagner both use "Enter Sandman"
by Metallica. And Washington's Chad Cordero uses "King Nothing" by Metallica.
以下是10队守护神&一位Setup man主题曲

在他上场前的Setup man,Derrick Turnbow-"Fuel" by Metallica
洋基队Mariano Rivera & 大都会Billy Wagner-"Enter Sandman" by Metallica

It's to the point where a save situation requires a lead of three runs or
less and a music-sharing deal with Metallica.
比赛进行至后半段,球队领先三分或少于三分救援点情况出现,上面所述的歌曲会从球
场广播系统拨放出来.
I suppose this music is part of the intimidation process. But if so,
Metallica didn't provide enough intimidation to help Turnbow's 6.87 ERA and
eight blown saves last year. Perhaps something nice and soothing, like
Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" or a little Marvin Gaye, would work
better. Sure, it might not get the adrenaline pumping. But on the other
hand, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" could
lull the batter into a deep state of relaxation, allowing a closer to blow
a strike past him.
我猜重金属音乐可杀对方士气,但果真如此,为何Metallica的"Fuel"并没杀到对方,反而
导致Turnbow去年战绩为6.87防御率 & 8次救援失败.也许,歌曲悦耳轻柔些像
"Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller或曲风带点Marvin Gaye风味,效果会好些.
当然,此类歌曲可能没办法让你肾上腺素急速加快.但另方面,Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
版本的"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"具催眠功能,打者听了会进入很深很深的放松
状态,让守护神们速球轻松地超越打者挥棒速度.
"But then I might fall asleep, too," Seattle closer J.J. Putz said.
水手守护神J.J. Putz却说"我可能也会睡着"
Fair point. Putz, by the way, enters the game to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck,"
saying that the metal music fires him up. Wagner says the same thing: "It
always gives you a little extra adrenaline when you're not feeling your
best." Wagner isn't a big metal fan, but "Enter Sandman" has been his theme
song since his days in Houston. "I never even picked it
