The Morse Effect Posted by Mark Zuckerman at 9:12 AM June 1 http://ppt.cc/hAZ3 Michael Morse could make his season debut for the Nationals tonight. That decision hasn't officially been made yet, and it's possible the club will want the slugger to play at least one more game on his rehab assignment, get a few more at-bats and make a few more throws from the outfield before activating him off the disabled list. But there's certainly a chance we'll see Morse in the lineup tonight against the Braves, or at worst within the next few days. And once he does rejoin the Nationals after missing nearly three months with a torn right lat muscle, his effect on the team should be profound. Morse今晚应该有机会在本季首度先发。官方尚未证实这项消息，而且球团也可能希望 这名长打者至少再打一场复健赛，在移出伤兵名单前多打几个打席、多进行几个外野 长传。不过今晚对上勇士，应该是很有机会看到他上阵，至少几天内一定会上场。 他因伤错过开季将近三个月的比赛，相信他的重回阵营，将对国民队带来深刻的影响。 Start, of course, with Morse's bat, which will be a welcome addition to a Nationals lineup that currently ranks 12th in the NL in batting average (.244) and on-base percentage (.313), ninth in slugging percentage (.394) and 13th in runs scored (192). Now, it's probably too much to ask for Morse to step right in and immediately pick up where he left off at the end of his breakthrough 2011, when he led the club with a .303 average, 31 homers and 95 RBI. It may take a little while for him to get comfortable facing big-league pitching again. There's also the possibility Morse won't be the same hitter he was a year ago, that his breakthrough season was an anomaly, not a precursor to more of the same. (Though there's plenty of reason to believe it was not a fluke.) 首先是着眼於他的棒子。目前国民队的打线在国联排名12，打击三围.244/.313/.394， 总得分192也是仅排名第13，而Morse则是去年打击率0.303、31轰、95打点技冠全队。 当然现在要去讨论他能不能像去年的表现一样出色是有点言之过早，同时，也有可能 Morse去年只是昙花一现，不能期待他年年如此。(不过还是有理由相信他的表现并非 侥幸。) More than anything else, Morse's return should have a positive effect on the rest of the Nationals' lineup. What at times this year has been a less-than-imposing starting nine all of a sudden looks a lot more potent. Where will Morse hit? For now, look for manager Davey Johnson to slot him in the fifth spot, behind the Bryce Harper-Ryan Zimmerman-Adam LaRoche trio that has worked well to date. Opposing pitchers might be less inclined to pitch around LaRoche now, and Morse certainly should find himself with plenty of RBI opportunities there. Where will he play in the field? Look for him to start out in right field, a position he didn't play last season but did man some in 2010. This wasn't the Nationals' original plan, but with Jayson Werth injured and Steve Lombardozzi establishing himself as a viable leadoff hitter and left fielder, it probably makes the most sense for now. 无论如何，Morse的归队应该会对打线带来正面影响，至少会让目前乏善可陈的先发 打线看起来有爆发力一些。Morse应该打第几棒?目前看来Davey Johnson会把他排在 第五棒，因为Harper-Zimmerman-LaRoche连线到目前为止还不错。对方投手目前应该 不喜欢和LaRoche正面对决，所以Morse排在他後面应该有许多抢打点的机会。 守备位置呢? 看起来应该是右外野，这不是他去年的守备位置，但2010年有守过。 这应该不是国民队的原始计画，但因为Werth受伤，而左外野手Lombardozzi最近打击 又不错，所以把Morse排在右外野算是合理。 That will leave the Nationals with a potent offensive outfield of Lombardozzi, Harper and Morse ... and though defense could be a bit shaky, Johnson will have Rick Ankiel and Roger Bernadina available off the bench should his team hold a lead late. Will Morse's return cure everything that ails the Nationals? No. They're still dealing with plenty of other injuries and have plenty of other question marks. But after surviving the season's first two months with nothing but negative news on the injury front, it's nice to know they're finally getting a key player back instead of losing one. 这样一来，国民的外野阵容Lombo-Harpe-Morse算是暴力打线成形了…当然守备上是 有点抖；但DJ还有Ankiel和Bernadina这两名外野守备组，可以在领先时上来加强防守。 Morse的归队是否能解决国民队的所有烦恼呢?其实不然。因为他们还有一堆伤兵等等 的问题。不过就开季两个月的战绩而言，国民算是撑过来了；比较大的负面因素也只 有伤兵问题，此时能够有一个关键球员归阵，总比又失去一个好多了吧! 心得：对Morse真的很期待啊! --
