It didn't help that they made a league-leading 143 errors. 去年我們的防守在大聯盟排名墊底，一共 143 次失誤。 Entering Tuesday's action, however, defense is one of the reasons the team is showing improvement on the field. It ranks seventh in the National League in that department. 截至今天為止則是有了明顯的進步，目前在國聯排名第七。 It helps that the Nationals added shortstop Ian Desmond for a full season and signed second baseman Adam Kennedy to a one-year deal. First baseman Adam Dunn and left fielder Josh Willingham have also improved with the glove from last season. 進步的原因：決定讓 Desmond 成為全季正職的游擊手、簽下 Kennedy 來守二壘，改守一壘的 Dunn 和左外野手 Willingham 的手套也都有所改進。 Manager Jim Riggleman credits third-base coach Pat Listach and bench coach John McLaren for the team's success on defense. Riggleman 認為這都要歸功於三壘教練 Pat Listach 以及板凳教練 John McLaren 兩人的指導。 "We made a couple of changes, but I think the work they are starting to put in is starting to show. We are getting some good results," Riggleman said. "The defense on the left side of the infield [featuring Desmond and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman] really have outstanding range over there. Riggleman表示，Desmond 和 Zimmerman 兩人的守備範圍都非常大，在他們固若金湯的防守之下左半邊的內野守備讓人非常舒服~~~。 "There have been balls hit on the right side of the infield that I thought for sure were hits and there is Adam Kennedy standing right there. He has really positioned himself well. I think a lot of that has to do with Pat Listach and the work that he puts in. 而一些打到內野右半邊、幾乎可以肯定是安打的球卻都因為 Kennedy 站位站得恰到好處而被沒收掉了，這點除了 Pat Listach 指導有方以外 Kennedy 本身非常投入他的工作也要記上一功。 (Dunn：怎麼沒有提到我呢？) "Our defense in the outfield -- John McLaren is in charge of those guys. There have been a lot balls hit off the bat, I thought for sure were going to be hits and we had a guy right there that would catch it." 外野防守則是由 John McLaren 負責指導。有很多被打得紮實、幾乎可以確定將會在外野草皮落地形成安打的球，然而我們的外野手早就站在那裡準備妥當了。 Ex-Rox saddened by McGregor's death McGregor不幸去世 WASHINGTON -- Nationals right-hander Jason Marquis and center fielder Willy Taveras were saddened to learn that Rockies team president Keli McGregor was found dead in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Tuesday. No details surrounding McGregor's passing are known. Marquis and Taveras were members of the Rockies during McGregor's tenure as president of the club. Both players said McGregor was a good person and was known to work out a lot. "It's a big loss for his family and for his kids," Marquis said. "We had good conversations in the weight room. We were just talking baseball and the Rockies. My heart goes out to his family and the Rockies' organization. "The loss is going to linger because he meant a lot to people in Colorado and the Denver area. He did some great things. You have to cherish every day you have and every moment that you have, whether you are at work or with your family." Said Taveras, "To me, he was a great baseball guy. The guy was a big part of the success of the team. We went to the World Series. I used to see him pretty much every day. I would see him at the gym. The guy was working out -- great body, he looked in great shape. It was very surprising." 洛磯隊的總裁 Keli McGregor 不幸過世，而我們隊上的 Marquis 以及 Taveras 在他擔任總裁的任期內都曾經是洛磯隊的一員，他們都對這項消息感到十分震驚與悲傷，並一致表示他是個了不起的人物。 Willingham productive at the plate Willingham 在本壘板的效益 WASHINGTON -- Left fielder Josh Willingham is off to one of the best starts of his career, hitting .333 with three home runs, 10 RBIs and 12 walks, which ranks second on the club behind Adam Dunn. Willingham 打出了他職業生涯最佳的開季成績之一：3成33的打擊率，10分的打點，還選到了12次的保送，保送次數僅略遜於 Adam Dunn 在國民隊打者中排名第二。 Willingham said he is not doing anything differently at the plate, he is simply seeing the ball better. Willingham 說他沒有特別做了什麼事情，只是他現在能夠把球看得非常清楚。 "When I'm seeing the ball, I'm patient, I'm seeing pitches better and I'm able to lay off the bad pitches," Willingham said. 因為變得更有耐心，所以能夠把球看得很清楚，這樣就能夠把壞球給放掉而不會去追打。 Outfielder Morse feeling better Morse 的傷勢已經有所恢復 WASHINGTON -- Nationals outfielder Mike Morse, on the disabled list because of a left calf strain, ran the bases and took batting practice for the first time. He didn't have any problems doing both and is hoping to start a rehab assignment sometime next week. 之前因為左小腿拉傷而被放到傷兵名單的外野手 Mike Morse，已經開始做第一次的跑壘和打擊練習了，而且沒有碰到什麼問題，並且希望能夠在下週就開始進行他的復健任務。 "It was really awesome. I really felt great," Morse said. "There are no problems, no setbacks, no nothing." Morse 強調他現在感覺棒極了，既沒有任何遭遇到任何麻煩，傷勢也沒有復發，一切安然無恙。 Nationals celebrate Earth Day Thursday 環保篇 Washington Nationals fans are invited to celebrate Earth Day at Nationals Park, America's first green ballpark!
