Notes: Opposition running wild<---簡單翻譯就是：對手盜得很爽～ Catchers, pitchers share blame for inability to slow stealing NEW YORK -- It keeps happening. Teams keep running and the Blue Jays can't stop them. It's been a continued theme throughout the season, despite preseason claims that the club was going to make improving that area a priority. 一再上演。對手一再盜壘，藍鳥一再無能為力。儘管藍鳥季前宣稱加強捕手阻殺能力是重點 On Wednesday, Toronto manager John Gibbons once again admitted that his pitching staff needs to pay closer attention to baserunners. Gibbons' comments came a day after the Yankees swiped two bases in the ninth inning, which played a role in Toronto's 3-2 loss in 10 frames. 吉本氏星期三再一次承認投手群必須再多關照壘上的跑者。(一想到那半局就火大) "We've got to put a little more focus there -- no question," Gibbons said. "That's the reality. We've got certain guys that are quick to the plate and that can equalize it a little bit. Then there's certain guys who aren't and we haven't been able to counter it." 藉口 It's the same message Gibbons delivered during Spring Training, when Toronto was coming off a season in which it allowed the most stolen bases in the American League. In 2006, the Blue Jays gave up 130 swipes, which was the second-highest total in the Majors behind the 150 that San Diego yielded. 吉本氏在春訓時也講過同樣的話。去年藍鳥被盜壘次數 130 次，美聯第一，全大聯盟第二。 The Blue Jays and Padres are at it again this season. Entering Wednesday, Toronto had given up an AL-high 87 stolen bases, or just shy of one per game. Baserunners had stolen a Major League-high 100 bags against San Diego. In the second half, the Jays have given up six stolen bases in six games, and they haven't thrown out a runner since June 15. 本季藍鳥目前依舊在被盜壘榜上居美聯第一，共被盜 87 次。下半季到目前為止，被偷了 6 次壘，6/15以來，1 次盜壘都沒抓到。 As Gibbons pointed out, Toronto's pitching staff is partly to blame for the issue, which is most evident in the caught-stealing percentage for the club's catchers. Entering Wednesday, the Blue Jays owned roughly a 10 percent caught- stealing average, which ranked last in the Majors and well below the 27-percent average in baseball. 吉本氏指出，投手群對於超低阻殺率也得負起部分責任。目前藍鳥的捕手阻殺率遠低於大聯盟的 27%，敬陪末座。 "I think we're at the bottom, as far as percentage of throwing guys out," Gibbons said, "but baseball in general over the last few years, those things are down anyway. I think the game has gotten away from that even being a concern, in terms of power and a big offensive game. 吉本氏：我想...就阻殺率而言，我們是墊底的，但近幾年的比賽，盜壘次數也減少了。我想現在盜壘在重視砲瓦及打量取分的棒球比賽中不是重點。(按：e04，別隊對上我們，這一點就變成重點了) "So the running game in most instances has been kind of eliminated from thought from most teams." 現在大部分的隊伍不太重視盜壘。(按：e04，比賽後半段、比數接近時就知道盜壘重不重要、不能抓到盜壘重不重要了）。 It's still a big part of the game in the AL East, where Toronto competes against some of the league's top stealing teams. In the AL, Baltimore (second), Tampa Bay (third) and New York (fifth) each rank in the top five when it comes to stealing bases. The East-leading Red Sox aren't far behind the pack in seventh. 作者舉證吉本氏睜眼說瞎話。 The other side: It goes both ways. The Blue Jays aren't only the worst team in baseball at throwing out baserunners, they're also dead last in the AL in stealing bags. Toronto has just 27 stolen bases through 93 games. Only St. Louis ranked lower with 25. 禍還不單行喔～藍鳥不僅在盜壘阻殺方面爛到爆，打者在盜壘方面一樣在美聯敬陪末座，只比全大聯盟墊底的紅雀多兩次。 Alex Rios and Vernon Wells rank first and second on the club with nine and five stolen bases, respectively. Gibbons said that Wells generally has "the green light" to run when he sees fit, and Rios usually steals when instructed by the coaching staff. Wells和Rios是藍鳥的盜壘排行榜的第一、二名。吉本氏說：Wells有充分的授權，覺得可以盜就盜。Rios如果沒有教練的指示則比較少嘗試盜壘。 "Vernon usually has it full-time," Gibbons said. "Rios, we put it on at times. He doesn't have it full time. Alex isn't a first-step quickness guy, because he has such long legs. Once he gets moving there's nobody better. Vernon has better instincts and his first step is better." 吉本氏：Rios因為腿長，所以盜壘起步不算快，但跑起來後就非常快了。Wells則是有較佳的直覺及盜壘起步。 Burnett watch: A.J. Burnett, who has been on the disabled list with a right shoulder injury since July 1, continued his throwing program on Wednesday. The pitcher played catch on flat ground and worked up to a distance of 90 feet. The Jays hope to have Burnett pitching off a mound before the end of the month. Burnett持續復健，現在做 90 呎的平地傳接球。他預計在月底時進行投手丘上的投球練習 "He played catch today and felt better," Gibbons said. "I just caught a couple words on the way in, but he said he felt very good. I don't know yet what the next step is, but it's progress." 此段沒重點 No hard feelings: No, Blue Jays reliever Casey Janssen wasn't retaliating in any way when he hit Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez with a pitch in the 10th inning on Tuesday night. On May 30, Rodriguez distracted Toronto's Howie Clark on a pop fly by shouting as he ran behind the infielder by third base. Janssen's ill-timed pitch nearly two months later was simply a mistake. Janssen 10 局對A-Rod的觸身球跟"報復兩個月前那檔事"完全無關，僅是失投。 "I was trying to throw a curve ball for a strike," Janssen explained after taking the loss on Tuesday. "I threw a curve ball and it hit him in the arm. I just didn't finish the pitch." Janssen：我只是要投曲球...沒投好... Did you know? On Tuesday night, Blue Jays left-hander Scott Downs extended his scoreless streak to 17 1/3 innings by blanking the Yankees in the eighth. Downs' run is currently the second-longest streak this year for a Toronto reliever. Jeremy Accardo ranks first with 21 2/3 consecutive scoreless frames from April 4-May 26. 星期三的比賽之前，Downs已經 17.1 局無失分。(按：報導一出來，星期三馬上破功) 這是藍鳥本季後援投手第二長的連續局數無失分，最長的是Accardo從 4/4~5/26 的連續 21.2局無失分。 -- 你給我一種感覺奇特的感覺一時之間我遺失了語言除非是『三月不揭的春帷』才讓我留下足以釀酒的眼淚你笑的一廂情願絕版的明信片恍惚置我於諸神的紀元誰不在等待他的貝德麗采清秀的佳人在日落盡處重現如果你柔情的雙眼懸掛在天邊我願是容納你筆直光線的深邃即使在世紀末以前極短的時間我也要散盡所有力氣雄雄為你搏一回 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.115.31.218 ※ 編輯: ACEP 來自: 140.115.31.218 (07/19 15:50)
