以下文章摘译自官网"Notes: League activated from DL" Reliever's mechanics improved, but velocity still not all there By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com BOSTON -- The days of overpowering batters with triple-digit fastballs might be over for Brandon League. The Toronto reliever hasn't completely recovered the velocity that went missing during Spring Training, but he's back with the Blue Jays and growing accustomed to a newfound approach. League那快速球破100MPH的日子可能要宣告结束了。他的球速尚未完全恢复，但还是回到 阵中适应新方法。 "I definitely learned a lot of new things," said League, who was activated from the 60-day disabled list on Saturday night, "like throwing other stuff than a 100-mph fastball. It definitely helped, because not every day are you going to go out there throwing your best stuff. I've learned to make adjustments." League星期日晚间被移出60-day DL，他表示这段期间学到很多东西，例如变化球。 League, who was originally in the plans as Toronto's setup man, spent the last five months doing just that. When he arrived at the Jays' big-league camp in February, his fastball was a less-than-intimidating 87 mph -- maybe it'd clock as high as 90 on occasion. That was a drastic drop-off from the 96-100 mph heaters he'd fired in 2006, when he posted a 2.53 ERA out of the bullpen. League在蓝鸟的计画中本是今年的setup，但在过去的五个月间他只能学着适应没有火球的 日子。春训时他的速球只有区区87MPH，偶尔上90MPH。这比他原来96-100MPH的水准低甚多 The issues stemmed from a few things. An MRI exam in October revealed a slight tear in League's right rotator cuff, which prompted the Jays to suggest he take some extra time off. During an extended layoff from throwing, League continued to lift weights, which led to an "over-developed lat muscle," as the club initially described the injury. 这肇因於去年十月发现的右旋转肌腱轻微撕裂伤，那时蓝鸟建议他休息一阵子。那段期间， 他持续举重训练，造成侧肌过度成长。 "I think I did a little too much," said League, who posted a 3.32 ERA over 18 Minor League games this season. "The MRI showed stuff in the shoulder. The lat is connected to the shoulder and when you tighten the shoulder, it's going to pull other muscles that are connected to it." League认为自己当时做得有点过头了。 The problem also affected League's arm angle during his delivery, which has been a continued issue over the past few seasons. When the problem crept up in the spring, the Jays didn't rule out surgery and set a tentative deadline for exploring that option, giving League time to hopefully show progress. 这个问题也影响了League投球时手臂的角度，这是他过去几季都存在的问题。当这些问题 在春训时一并浮现，当时蓝鸟不排除让League动手术，好好解决问题。 An operation was taken out of the picture when the 24-year-old right-hander started to consistently repeat improved mechanics in his Minor League rehab outings, and when League's fastball returned to the 93-95 mph range. The velocity isn't completely back, but that's not League's focus. 当League在小联盟的复健赛持续稳定地表现，且速球已回到93-95MPH。尽管这不是League 以往最佳的球速，但他并不在意。 "My goal is to just have similar mechanics to what I had last year," said League, who throws a slider, sinker and splitter. "And to produce the same sinking action on my fastball to get ground balls and get outs. That's the ultimate goal." League表示他的目标就是回复去年的投球动作。他也丢滑球、沉球、和指叉球。而终极目 标就是让速球回复以往的下沉幅度，制造滚地球让打者出局。 That's the focus League has to have, considering he doesn't have the luxury of a 100-mph fastball anymore. For now, the Blue Jays will likely place League into a middle relief role until he shows he's capable of returning to the setup job, which has been filled for most of the year by Casey Janssen. 这正是没了火球的League必须聚焦的地方。现在蓝鸟可能会先让他担任中继，直到他的表现 证明能够回到setup的位置。 On the run: On Saturday night, the Red Sox successfully converted a double steal with Jays left-hander Brian Tallet on the mound. It is the latest example of Toronto's inability to keep the opposition's running game in check this season. 星期六晚上红袜对左投Tallet成功的双盗垒再次证明了蓝鸟阻杀盗垒的无能。 Through 90 games, the Blue Jays have yielded an American League-high 84 stolen bases, and the club's catchers owned an 11 percent caught-stealing average, which is the lowest in the big leagues. The Major League average for caught- stealing percentage is 26. 本季到目前90场比赛，蓝鸟在被盗垒排行榜中以84次在美联夺冠，11%的阻杀率在全大联盟 中垫底。全大联盟捕手的平均阻杀率26%。(按：打对折还赢我们勒～pathetic!) If veteran Sal Fasano, who threw out runners roughly 21 percent of the time earlier this year for the Jays, is taken out of the mix, catchers Gregg Zaun and Jason Phillips have combined for just a nine percent caught-stealing percentage. 如果拿掉Fasano 21%的阻杀率，剩下的Phillips和Zaun两人总共只有9趴的阻杀率。 "That's how teams try to exploit us," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "That's all I have to say." 吉本氏：我只能说...别队总是尽情地利用我们捕手的弱点... On second thought: A day after praising Vernon Wells' discipline as Toronto's leadoff hitter, Gibbons moved the center fielder back into the No. 3 spot of the lineup. Now that Wells has started to emerge from his persistent slump, Gibbons wants to provide him with more run-scoring opportunities. 前天还在称赞Wells打第一棒表先不错，隔天(星期日)就把Wells排回第三棒。因为吉本氏考 虑到Wells的打击已经触底反弹，所以将他排回第三棒，让他有较多的打点机会。 "Maybe this way he can get him a few more RBIs," said Gibbons, offering a brief explanation for the sudden switch. 吉本氏解释：这样可以给Wells较多的打点机会。 Actually, Wells averaged an RBI every 4.3 at-bats in 16 games as Toronto's leadoff man, compared to one every 9 at-bats in 55 starts as the No. 3 hitter, entering Sunday. When batting first, Wells has hit .304 (21-for-69) with seven homers and 16 RBIs. He's batted .230 (50-for-217) with five home runs and 24 RBIs in the third spot. 本季到星期日的比赛为止，打第一棒的Wells每4.3个打数扫进1分打点，但是打第三棒的 Wells每9个打数才有1分打点。打第一棒的16场比赛中，Wells打击率0.304、7支全垒打、 16分打点，打三棒的Wells打击率0.230、5支全垒打、24分打点。 On the bench: For the first time this season, Toronto's Frank Thomas was not in the starting lineup in a game where the designated hitter was available. Prior to Sunday's tilt in Boston, Thomas had started 81 games as a DH and only sat nine times -- each during road contests versus National League foes. Matt Stairs started as Toronto's DH on Sunday. 星期日的比赛中Thomas本季第一次在有DH的比赛坐板凳。 Did you know? Entering Sunday, Jays second baseman Aaron Hill has hit .500 (8-for-16) with one home run and four RBIs in his last four games. In the 11 previous contests, he posted a .150 (6-for-40) average with no homers and three RBIs. Hill近4场火热，但近11场很冷。 -- 你给我一种感觉 奇特的感觉 一时之间我遗失了语言 除非是『三月不揭的春帷』才让我留下足以酿酒的眼泪 你笑的一厢情愿 绝版的明信片 恍惚置我於诸神的纪元 谁不在等待他的贝德丽采 清秀的佳人在日落尽处重现 如果你柔情的双眼悬挂在天边 我愿是容纳你笔直光线的深邃 即使在世纪末以前极短的时间 我也要散尽所有力气雄雄为你搏一回 --
