http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/NickPiecoro/84816 How the Diamondbacks got here 响尾蛇队怎麽能烂成这样 The Diamondbacks are riding a five-game losing streak. They are winless through four games of this road trip through three NL West cities. Though it’ s way too early to call it a make or break trip, it feels like it could be more of the latter than the former, especially with what looks like an impossibly difficult June schedule in front of them. They’re 20-29, 8 1/2 games back in the division. What’s happened? Here’s a rundown. 五连败了(编按：喔不对，加上今天已经连六拉六了)。弱小分区客场之旅到目前为止一胜 难求。虽然说如果现在就放弃的话，比赛...球季就结束了，但是看到六月的赛程就好像 看到118的学生证一样，双腿一软跪了下来，包括跨联盟比赛在内，要面对到洋基、红袜、 光芒等强大分区劲敌...还有道奇、洛矶、红雀这些强队(红雀还得打两次)。目前20-30的 战绩，与分区第一的教士有着9.5场的胜差，到底发中了什麽邪呢？请看。 1) The bullpen has been terrible. 牛棚烂到喷汁了。 No area of the team has received more criticism, and for good reason. The bullpen has a 7.50 ERA – and we’re nearly eight weeks into the season. They have allowed 107 earned runs in 128 1/3 innings. No one expected the bullpen to be a strength, but neither did anyone expect it to be this colossally bad. Let’s say that instead of being the worst in baseball by a long shot it was merely bad, ranking, say, 12th in the league. That would mean it would have allowed 37 fewer earned runs, making the team’ s overall run differential 247 runs scored/261 runs allowed. With those numbers, the team’s expected record would be 23-26 – still not good, but just one good series away from .500. 牛棚正是整支球队最糟糕的地方。开季已经快两个月了，在128.1局丢了107分，ERA值高达 7.50(加上今天爆的5分肯定更高)。没有人期待过牛棚有啥用，但也没有人想到会是这麽惨 烈的情况。假使不说他们是最烂，而放远来看应该是排12名的牛棚(这段不太懂，请指正) 。意思是说一共少丢37分，这样一来整队的得失分会变成247/261，而在这个数字所预期的 战绩应该会是23-26，还是不怎麽样，但至少是一个系列赛就能扳平的情况。 2) The staff gives up too many long balls. 被干太多炮了 Diamondbacks pitchers have given up a staggering 83 home runs in 49 games. The relievers have allowed 31, 11 more than the second-worst bullpen in the league. But you can’t just blame the bullpen for this one. The starters have allowed 52 home runs, 15 more than the next worst rotation. They’re on pace to allow 274 home runs, which would shatter the major league record of 241, set by the 1996 Detroit Tigers, a team that lost 109 games. 49场，83支。後援投手就包括31支，比第二名还多11发...但当然这并不全是牛棚的错，先 发被轰52发也是比第二烂的活生生多了15支。照这个速度下去整年下来会被干274发，联盟 纪录是1996年老虎队的241发，当年输掉了109场比赛。 3) Dan Haren and Edwin Jackson have struggled. 蛋哈轮跟E-Jax的不振。 These two were supposed to be horses at the top of the rotation. While both are pitching deep into games with consistency, both sport ERAs well above what the Diamondbacks expected. The scary part for both is that their second-half struggles from 2009 are spilling into 2010. Haren has a 5.12 ERA in 25 starts since July 23. Jackson has a 5.93 ERA in 22 starts since Aug. 10. 这两位本来应该是先发轮值的扛霸子，局数一样吃得很深，但ERA值却比预期的高出许多。 令人担心的是，这两位自从去年下半季开始就一直软手到现在，哈轮自去年七月二十三日 之後的25场先发缴出了5.12的ERA值，E-Jax在去年八月十日之後的22场先发里平均ERA则是 5.93。 4) Where’s Brandon Webb? Brandon Webb去哪了？ Much of the hope for the Diamondbacks this season was tied to the healthy return of Webb, the former Cy Young winner. It’s nearly June and Webb hasn’ t stepped on a mound in nearly three months. He spent this past week searching for an arm slot in an Alabama rehab facility, and even if everything suddenly clicks for him today, he won’t be back in the majors until July. 本季响尾蛇的希望是寄望在康复的前赛扬蛇王Webb身上，但听说现在已经快要六月了而他 这三个月来连投手丘都没踩过，连A-Rod都踩过Braden的了...上礼拜他在Alabama的复健机 构找他的放球点，但就算他今天突然吃了金珂拉天生神力的复原，也不可能在七月前归 队。 5) The offense has been too streaky. 打击火力太不稳定。 Despite nearly a month of mediocrity, the Diamondbacks offense still ranks as the second-best run-scoring unit in the National League. That’s because of their torrid 26-game start in which they averaged 5.9 runs per game. Since then, they’re down to 4.1 runs per game – not especially bad, but that average seems inflated by a handful of high-scoring games. Consider: In the past 23 games, the Diamondbacks have scored three runs or less 14 times. They lost 13 of those games and are 1-22 overall this season in games in which they’ve scored less than four runs. 即使到了这个月金珂拉的效用已过，整队的得分还是在NL排名第二，这要归因於前面26场 比赛的平均得分是5.9，但在那之後就烙赛到4.1─看起来不差，但其实是因为当中有一些 得分破表的比赛抽高了平均。今年整场得3分或以下的14场比赛输了13场，然後得4分或以 下的比赛战绩是1-22败，惨透了。 6) Justin Upton hasn’t produced. Upton卡弹 The Diamondbacks were counting on another step forward from their ultra-talented 22-year-old right fielder. So far, it hasn’t happened. Upton hasn’t had any prolonged empty stretches, but his .253 average, .320 on-base and .430 slugging fall well short of what the club needs out of its No. 3/No. 4 hitter. 本来今年响尾蛇要倚靠的22岁天才右外野手Justin Upton截至目前为止依然不振。虽然他 不是处在什麽超级长期低潮，但.253/.320/.430的成绩对一支球队的三或四棒打者来说， 还有一段很大的落差。 7) Miguel Montero has been hurt. Montero送修 Upton, Mark Reynolds and Montero were trumpeted as the positives to take from the 2009 disaster. We touched on Upton already. Reynolds hasn’t found a hot streak, but his numbers still are OK. And Montero played just four games before going down with a knee injury. Chris Snyder done all right filling in, but he hasn’t provided the kind of offensive jolt that a healthy Montero is capable of. Upton、风扇哥跟Montero本来是去年惨澹球季中的一线曙光，但如今......好吧，Upton已 经鞭过了，风扇哥虽然不火烫但成绩差强人意，至於Montero则是打了四场就进厂维修。 Snyder适时补上了这个洞，但并没能打出像健康的Montero有的成绩。 8) Left field has been a production vortex. 左外野的黑洞 Conor Jackson played great in the Dominican Republic and was excellent in spring training, providing hope he could put his 2009 career derailment behind him. So far, he hasn’t been able to provide much of anything offensively, hitting just .227 with a .317 on-base and .309 slugging in 126 plate appearances. He also spent two weeks on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Gerardo Parra hasn’t been any better, hitting .247/.281/.341 in 89 plate appearances. Overall, Diamondbacks left fielders have a .630 OPS, fourth worst in the league. Con-Jax去年在多明尼加冬联还有今年春训都打得很好，似乎能让他忘了09年的生涯低点。 但到目前为止他的打击依旧鸟蛋(.227/.317/.309 in 126PA)，中间还在DL躺过两个礼拜。 而Parra也没好到哪去(.241/.281/.341 in 89PA)，总之，在左外野这个产区本队的OPS是 .630，全联盟倒数第四名，我想一切都是Eri科 Byrnes的错。 Why have all of these things happened? That’s the million dollar question. What’s so strange about this team is that the guys whom everyone expected to be doing well aren’t, like Upton, Haren and Edwin Jackson. Meanwhile, Ian Kennedy, Rodrigo Lopez, Kelly Johnson, Chris Young -- some of the biggest question marks on the team entering the season -- well, their performances have ranged between great and just fine. 这是三小情况？那些预期会有好成绩的通通烙赛，像是哈轮、E-Jax、Upton；然後原本那 些不期不待、要去龙潭的反而在预期水准之上，像是旅基的Kennedy、旅美东的Lopez、被 non-tendered的凯莉、09惨兮兮的Chris Young。 Is this team really this bad? If so, then that doesn’t reflect well on the general manager. If not, then why aren’t they performing better? Looking at the front office's moves in the off-season, can you blame the Diamondbacks for picking up Webb’s option? Probably not. Did they make bad acquisitions in the off-season? With LaRoche, Johnson, Heilman and Kennedy, no, those look good. With Howry and Edwin Jackson, not so good. (But would you rather have Max Scherzer back? Right now, no.) Should they have spent the money they gave to LaRoche on pitching? Maybe. But then we might be talking about a black hole of production at first base. 这支球队真的该加入中职了吗？如果是这样，那现在兄弟的领队应该叫做Josh Byrnes。 如果说不该这麽烂，为什麽成绩又打不出来？回头看看去年季後FO的动作，捡Webb的 option臭了吗？也许不是。补强臭了吗？想想可乐果...不是，想想腊肉哥、凯莉、海饵鳗 、IPK吧，补得很好啊！当然，FUCK you Bob Howry跟E-Jax就不是那麽好了，但看看 Scherzer现在的惨况，又是另一种想法...那我们该把签腊肉哥的钱拿去补投手吗？那这样 的话一垒又多个黑洞了。 Is it simply the wrong mix of players? 这是大家一起衰洨的结果吗？ Is it the coaching staff? Are they getting enough out of the players? How many coaches do they need to go through? This general group of players is on its second manager, its second pitching coach, its third hitting coach, etc. And how much longer will this losing continue before more changes are made? The other strange thing is it seems like it’s something different with this team every year -- every week, really. Over the past three years problems have ranged from defense to bullpen to injuries to offense and, lately, to starting pitching. Just when it looks like they’ve fixed one leak, a new one springs. 是教练的问题吗？是跟球员之间的问题吗？他们要换几个教练啊？这群人已经经历了两任 总教练、两任投手教练、三任打击教练了耶...在下一波改变之前我们到底要输多久？另一 个奇怪的地方是，这支队伍好像每年、每周都在变，真的。这三年来球队的问题从防守到 牛棚到伤兵到攻击到最近的先发投手，就好像打地鼠一样，搞定一个又冒出一个。 If it were the same thing over and over, maybe you could talk about blowing it up and starting fresh. But this club is confusing, inconsistent (which is why this rant is all over the place). Anyway, it’s not early anymore. This isn’t just a bad start or a rough patch. What can be done to fix it? Whatever needs to happen, it better happen fast. This season is starting to feel a lot like 2009. 如果这些问题不断的loop，也许可以开始考虑砍掉重练，但这支球队比兄弟还让人搞不懂 ，又不稳定(这也是为什麽我们老是在吵这些)。反正，球季到现在也不早了，这不只是个 坏的开始或者说一段糟糕的日子，能怎麽做来它更好？但不管能做什麽都越快越好，现在 已经有09球季的感觉了。 --- 自己随意乱翻，大家请多指教 -- 2009/06/03 Pitt╭───╮tes traded CF Nate McLouth to Atlanta Braves. 2009/06/3 0 Pittsburgh Pi│ Ｐ │ed RF Eric Hinske to New York Yankees. 2009/07/22 Pitts burgh Pirates ∕◢██◣﹨am McCutchen眉头一皱，ed Sox. 2009/07/29 Pittsburgh Pi rates trades R\ ㄟˇㄏ / and SS Jack Wilson to Seattle Mariners. 2009/07/30 Pi ttsburgh Pirat【 ㄧ..ㄧ 】+Freddy发现队友都不一样了。cisco G原作 snegi /07/30 Pi ttsburgh Pirate◥ /︷\ ◤HP John Grabow and LHP Tom Gorzelan改编 seeyou1002Cubs. --
