標題：Jay Marshall is back; Ellis sits but Suzuki doesn't
From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser at Kansas City
As expected, spot starter Clayton Mortensen was sent out (though he hadn't
been told it was just a one-start callup, he assumed as much - he didn't
check out of his Sacramento hotel) and left-handed reliever Jay Marshall
makes his first return to the club since 2007.
Mark Ellis is getting the day off; manager Bob Geren said that Ellis "is a
little tired," and Ellis was getting hammered (jokingly) by teammates all
morning for being a slacker, especially since catcher Kurt Suzuki is in the
lineup in a day after a night game. It could be as hot as 107 degrees today
with the heat index, so that's rough duty for a catcher.
I asked about Geren's decision to start Suzuki rather than backup Landon
Powell and he noted that Suzuki had been off Thursday and he got one inning
off Saturday night. He said Suzuki probably won't play Wednesday in
Baltimore, either, giving him back-to-back days off with Thursday's offday.
Considering the way the season is going, I'm not sure that it's necessary to
play Suzuki quite this much, especially with the heat and humidity the team
is facing on this road trip - it is supposed to be even hotter and more humid
in Baltimore. But Suzuki is fine with it. He said, "I want to play every day.
Anyone who doesn't want to play every day probably shouldn't be here."
I respect the sentiment, but just because Suzuki wants to play every day
doesn't mean he should, especially in this kind of weather. He leads AL
catchers with 92 games started, the team is in last place, and he's the
team's most valuable everyday player, so it might be nice to get him some
more rest.

(這位記者也覺得K. Suzuki 被操很大...)
