Tribe considering changes in 'pen Indians bullpen ranks second-to-last in ERA in Majors (猜一下最後一名是谁...Ans: SF Giants http://0rz.net/9b1mK) CLEVELAND -- General manager Mark Shapiro said long before the '06 season began that the Indians' bullpen was his greatest concern. That concern was justified. GM Shapiro桑在新球季开打很久之前就说过他最关心的就是我们的牛棚 With a 5.59 ERA, the Indians' relief corps ranks last in the American League and second-to-last in all of baseball. 有着绝高5.59的ERA 我们的牛棚是美联垫底 全联盟倒数第二 (*谜之声* 遥望2004) Changes are coming. Injured right-hander Rafael Betancourt will most likely be activated from the 15-day disabled list sometime in the next week, and Shapiro said Thursday that other internal changes are being strongly considered. 在众望所归之下,Beta下礼拜的应该可以从伤兵名单归队,Shapiro桑星期四 提到了要好好来个内部大翻修 (*谜之声* 翻修Graves吧) "We've spent a lot of time in discussions, not just over the last 24 hours but probably the last three or four days," Shapiro said. "If we feel we can make a move that's going to help this team, we're going to do it. We're considering all moves, from changes in roles to changes in personnel in our bullpen." Shapiro桑说"不只在过去的24小时内,在这三四天中我们花了很多的时间来讨论, 如果我们觉得可以做一些改变来帮助这支球队,我们会做的,这包括很多改变,从改变 投手的定位到人事的改变" (*谜之声* 该期待吗?Orz) A sweep at the hands of the lowly Royals has forced the issue. The Tribe saw five leads blown over the course of three days -- not just by the 'pen, but also by a starting staff that continues to struggle to last deep into ballgames. 在被Royas横扫之後,这个问题更迫切的需要被解决.在过去三天有五次领先被浪费掉, 不只是牛棚,先发投手撑的局数也不够久 (感谢m大的帮忙) Indians starters have gone seven or more innings in just eight of 35 starts this season. They've gone six or more innings 19 times. 我们的先发投手在35次先发中,只有8次投超过7局,19次投超过六局 (到目前为止先发真的是有点抖) "I think too much of the burden publicly has gone on our bullpen, when it is a shared burden on our pitching staff, top to bottom," Shapiro said. "If we don't have a starting rotation that on most nights gets us through six innings and a lot of nights gets us through seven, no matter what we're trying to fix in the bullpen, it's going to be hard to patch it, either way." Shapiro桑说我想了很多关於我们牛棚的负担,同时这也是我们所有投手群共同的负担, 如果我们的先发投手群不能在大部分的比赛中投满六局,甚至在更多的比赛投满七局, 那麽不论我们怎麽去整顿牛棚,这都会是个用各种方法都很难补的洞 (C.C.回来後总算有个比较像样的先发投手,其他的投手有一场没有一场的Orz) No changes to the rotation are imminent, despite a 6.52 ERA for Paul Byrd, a 5.94 for Jake Westbrook and a 5.82 for Jason Johnson. 先发投手的调整还不是很迫切,虽然大鸟叔叔,杰克同学,刚回到地球的Johnson三个防御率 分别是6.52,5.94,5.82 (*谜之声* 居然快破20了 Q _ Q) "We're going to continue to ride it out," Shapiro said of the starting staff. "Not just ride it out, but help the guys improve." 吓毙罗说到先发投手群：「我们将持续往安然度过的方向走，不仅如此还要协助 他们改善。」 (感谢J大的帮忙) Nor is Shapiro going to cut loose any members of the coaching staff, as he did with hitting coach Eddie Murray when the club was laboring at the plate last June. Shaipro现在不打算像去年六月一样,当我们正在打击方面惨不忍睹时,fire掉 Murray 般的解雇任何一位教练. (*谜之声* 这是好事还是坏事?) It's the relief staff that's on thin ice. 我们的中继後援投手正在薄冰上 (*谜之声* 我的心脏也是) With six saves in six chances, Bob Wickman is the only reliever Shapiro made a point of saying he's been pleased with. Wicky老先生是唯一Shapiro满意的,他在六次的救援机会都成功 (*谜之声* 大家知道我们的状况有多惨了吧:p) The rest of the uninjured Opening Day relief staff -- Danny Graves (2-1, 5.79 ERA), Scott Sauerbeck (0-1, 4.32 ERA), Guillermo Mota (0-2, 6.14 ERA) and Fernando Cabrera (0-1, 9.58 ERA) -- has been erratic, though Cabrera has shown much improvement since coming off the DL. Jason Davis (1-1, 4.08 ERA) and Jeremy Guthrie (0-0, 4.63 ERA), who began the year in Triple-A, are still developing. 火牛阵其他的成员的数据还真是恐怖,F-Cab虽然不稳定,不过自从他从DL出来後 已经有改善了,Guthrie去年在3A待了一年後还在成长中 (*谜之声* 扣除Graves和Sauerbeck其他根本就是火球男,Guthrie真的是进步很多, 不过我想说的是,不能只有火球啊,看过的比赛挨轰几乎都是直球 @@) Options abound down on the farm, though it's anyone's guess how the young arms at Triple-A Buffalo and Double-A Akron would fare in the big leagues. 我们的农场有很多选择,但是3A和2A跟大联盟还是两种不同的世界 Shapiro said the club would consider putting right-hander Fausto Carmona, who made three spot starts for the Indians in place of an injured C.C. Sabathia last month, in the bullpen "in the right situation," though he would not comment on whether this is, indeed, the right situation. Shaipro桑不愿说清楚讲明白,只说我们会在适当的时机把上个月顶替C.C.的Carmona叫 上来充实我们的牛棚 (*谜之声* Carmona少了一种决胜球种,我觉得他还不是我们的答案) Right-hander Andrew Brown (2-0, 2.18 ERA) has pitched well for Buffalo, though the Indians have been concerned about his walk tally, which stands at 17 in 20 2/3 innings. Veterans Steve Karsay (1-1, 1.69 ERA) and Felix Heredia 　　　　(0-0, 6.75 ERA) are available at Buffalo, with Karsay pitching especially well recently. Brian Slocum 　　　　 (0-0, 1.35 ERA), Rob Bell (3-2, 3.08 ERA) Hyang-Nam Choi (1-1, 3.54 ERA) and Ben Howard (0-0, 4.40 ERA) are some of the other arms available from the Bisons. 以上是Bisons可以提供的投手群 (*谜之声* 不过这些人都应该不是我们要的Answer) At Akron, there's Rafael Perez (2-4, 4.71 ERA), who pitched well in one big-league outing after Matt Miller went on the DL, and Ed Mujica, who hasn't given up an earned run in 19 innings, among others. 以上两位是2A可以提供的投手群 (*谜之声* 有看Perez投得好像有点抖) Shapiro, though, won't name names. 但是Shapiro桑不打算提起任何名字 (*谜之声* 你还是殿殿的比较好) "To comment on individual guys would create a bad dynamic, both down there and on our team," he said. Shapiro桑说评论任何一个投手不管对农场或是我们的队伍都会造成不良的影响 A trade isn't likely at this time of year, especially given the relief woes being suffered around baseball. Shapiro said Betancourt's return will probably be the move of biggest impact. Shapiro说虽然牛棚正在灾难中,但是现在还不到交易的时刻, Beta回来後可能会带来很大的冲击 (*谜之声* 你还是先想好要怎麽交易吧) For now, it's clear that Shapiro, one year after having a bullpen that ranked among the best in the Majors, had reason to be concerned about this year's relief. 现在对我们的GM来说,是个很好思考牛棚问题的时间,特别是在去年我们的 牛棚超杀的 (*谜之声*　我老是觉得GM和我们想得都不一样) "I feared the unknown," Shapiro said. "And the unknown's been bad, and it's been exacerbated by the fact that our starting pitching has been inconsistent." GM说:"我害怕未知,未知是不好的,而且还在恶化下去, 特别是在我们的投手群如此的不稳定" --
