TUCSON, Ariz. -- Cubs manager Lou Piniella reassured Rich Hill on Friday that the lefty is not in danger of losing a spot in the rotation despite Thursday's rocky outing. 老皮在星期五的时候 又再次给富丘保证 他并没有面临失去先发位置的危险 虽然他星期四投的很不好 Hill, who did not walk a batter over 15 2/3 innings last spring, issued six in 1 1/3 innings on Thursday against Colorado. He was then pulled from the game. 富丘去年春训 在 15 2/3 innings投球表现里 没有投出任何四坏球 然而他在星期四对落矶队的热身赛里 只投了 1 1/3 innings 就投出了六个四坏球 "We had a nice talk with Rich this morning, and told him to relax," Piniella said Friday. "Rich puts undue pressure on himself. He's a very conscientious kid and wants to be a perfectionist and there's no such thing in this business. "我们今天早上找了富丘谈话 叫他要放松心情" 老皮说 "Rich给自己太大的压力" "他是一个非常认真的孩子, 总想要做到完美" "然而完美在棒球的世界里 是不存在的" "I told him, 'Don't concern yourself with thinking there's even a possibility of us taking you out of the rotation,'" Piniella said. "'We like you and go out and relax and throw the ball.' He thinks a lot." "我跟他说 不要担心我们会把你拉出 rotation" "我们希望你可以放松的投球" Piniella was impressed with how Hill was throwing on Thursday, and said the problem was more concentration and focus. The left-hander was 11-8 with a 3.92 ERA last season, his first full year in the big leagues. 老皮说富丘的问题是 不够专注 "He thinks too much and he worries," Piniella said of the lefty. "I told him, 'You won 11 ballgames last year and you've got one more year of experience under your belt. The way you throw the ball, you've got a chance to run this up to 15, 16 wins.'" "他想太多了 而且他很担心" 老皮说 "我跟他说 你去年赢了11场比赛" "而现在你又多了一年的经验" "只要你照你的方式投球 你很有可能会赢 15, 16 场比赛" Hill threw 49 pitches in his abbreviated outing, and then went down to the bullpen and threw another 45. Piniella said they had to stop him from throwing. 富丘在那场热身赛里投了 49 球 下场以後 又到牛棚练了 45 球 老皮说 他们必须阻止他再投下去 "I think he would've thrown until 9 o'clock last night unless we stopped him," Piniella said. "我想要是我们没有阻止他 他可能会投到晚上9点才停止吧" 老皮说 http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/ article.jsp?ymd=20080321&content_id=2450190&vkey=spt2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc (富丘加油啊!) ※ 编辑: shawshien 来自: 68.37.156.149 (03/24 05:20)
