Enough with the heavy metal closers!
受夠重金屬音樂了!
So many closers enter the game to heavy metal, there should be umlauts over
the names on their jerseys.
許多球隊終結者會伴隨著重金屬音樂進場,歌曲名稱應繡在球員球衣背後的名字上方
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隊守護神&一位Setup man主題曲

在他上場前的Setup man,Derrick Turnbow-"Fuel" by Metallica
洋基隊Mariano Rivera & 大都會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.
比賽進行至後半段,球隊領先三分或少於三分救援點情況出現,上面所述的歌曲會從球
場廣播系統撥放出來.
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.
我猜重金屬音樂可殺對方士氣,但果真如此,為何Metallica的"Fuel"並沒殺到對方,反而
導致Turnbow去年戰績為6.87防禦率 & 8次救援失敗.也許,歌曲悅耳輕柔些像
"Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller或曲風帶點Marvin Gaye風味,效果會好些.
當然,此類歌曲可能沒辦法讓你腎上腺素急速加快.但另方面,Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
版本的"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"具催眠功能,打者聽了會進入很深很深的放鬆
狀態,讓守護神們速球輕鬆地超越打者揮棒速度.
"But then I might fall asleep, too," Seattle closer J.J. Putz said.
水手守護神J.J. Putz卻說"我可能也會睡著"
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
