DANIEL BARD IS STILL BANKING ON HELPING THESE RED SOX http://t.co/Ur5fekC7Uk 以下节录 More than a few fans have wondered what happened to Bard over the past few months, particularly when the Red Sox found themselves in stretches of searching for relief help. 有不少袜迷好奇Bard这几个月来怎麽消失了。 The reliever had last been seen on a minor-league mound May 15, when he walked five in an inning of work. That had followed a stint in which Bard issued four free passes in 2/3 innings. 上次在小联盟出赛已经是五月15日的事了─他在那天的一局之中保送五人，前一场也没好 到哪去，0.2局四保送。 So, what happened? Let Bard explain: 到底发生了什麽事？ “I had the abdominal strain. I did it back in April. Pitched through it for about a month or so, tried to pitch through it. Ended up getting an MRI in probably early-June that ended up showing a pretty good tear in there, a pretty good little strain. So that put me on the shelf where I couldn’t pick up a baseball for about three weeks. 「我的腹部拉伤了，事实上在四月就有这个问题，我带伤投了一个多月，试着度过这个伤 势。六月初照了MRI之後才知道腹部有撕裂伤和拉伤，我在接下来的三个礼拜之中不能拿 起棒球。」 “After three weeks, I then started tossing again. When the throwing program got a little more aggressive, they sent me down here where I could start getting off the mound and stuff because Portland was getting on a road trip, so it just made live BP’s and stuff easier to do. So, I got down here and I think after four or five days I got off the mound for the first time and threw like 30 pitches. The next day, I started feeling not good again after having gone through three weeks with no symptoms at all. So I thought it might just be some soreness from getting off the mound. I tried to give it a few days – kept throwing, kept playing catch. 「过了这三个礼拜之後，我试着重新投球。当练习内容加重时，他们把我送回Fort Myers ，等着上丘练习(因为海狗要到客场)。我就开始投打击练习之类轻松一点的内容，四五天 後首度上丘投了30球左右。但是隔天却感觉不太舒服─之前几个礼拜都没有出现症状，所 以我猜说会不会只是上丘投球造成的疼痛。我再几天几天观察，这段时间继续练习投球、 接球。」 “The next bullpen got bumped back a few days and it just wasn’t getting better. So we got another MRI that showed a re-tear, a little bit below the original spot. That put me back on the shelf a little bit. I didn’t pick up a ball for about 10 days, which was up until this weekend. Then I started throwing again Monday.” 「下一个牛棚练习一直延後，因为我的感觉一直不大好。所以我又再去照了MRI，在原来 那点的下方出现撕裂伤。所以我又再度关机，10天没拿棒球─也就是到上周末。周一才开 始丢球。」 According to Bard, the abdominal issue wasn’t a factor at any point throughout spring training. It wasn’t until the workout just prior to the Sea Dogs’ first game in April that the area first felt aggravated. Bard表示春训时腹部没有任何问题，而是在海狗开打前夕的练习才感到疼痛加重。 The righty’s initial results with Portland were respectable, paving the way for a two-game stint with the Red Sox. But after walking both Houston batters he faced in an April 27 outing at Fenway Park, Bard was sent back to the minors, where his control issues – and health problems – grew. 一开始在海狗的表现不错，让他有机会回红袜投两场，但是在面对太空人(4/27)投出两保 送後被遣送回小联盟。这时候除了控球问题之外，健康问题也出来了。 “It wasn’t bad at first. It didn’t feel like it was anything serious,” he said of the abdominal injury. “I just mentioned it to the trainer, just something to get daily treatment on, but nothing serious. I think the wear and tear of pitching on it every two or three days, it slowly was getting worse and worse. Then it finally got to a point where it was hurting on every throw. So, finally got the MRI.” 「一开始没那麽糟，我跟训练员说了之後每天接受治疗，但不是大问题。我猜後来是因 为每两三天就投球的关系而让伤势渐渐恶化。最後就变成一投球就会痛的地步，最後就 去照了MRI。」 He added, “It’s been pretty frustrating at times baseball-wise. But my life ’s still pretty good. I’m not complaining about the situation I’m in. It’ s just part of the game. It’s really the first time I’ve ever spent significant time on the DL. That’s been a little bit of an adjustment. Just trying to be patient with it. I think that’s kind of where I ran into trouble and ended up re-tearing it in a different spot. I just thought, ‘ Hey, it feels good. I can push it.’ But muscle pulls and tears are a little more complicated than that.” Bard：「就棒球层面来说令人沮丧，但是人生还是很棒。我不会对这个情况发牢骚，这只 是比赛的一部分。我第一次在DL待这麽久，这段时间就算是调整期吧。我必须更有耐心─ 我正是因为耐心不够才会再度受伤(而且位置不同)，我想说『嘿，感觉不错，我可以再拼 一些』，不过肌肉拉伤和撕裂伤是复杂的问题。」 Bard realizes that without the health, rediscovering the kind of on-the-field presence that once made him one of the game’s premier set-up men isn’t an option. But if the next 10-14 days does go well, and next week’s scheduled mound-work shows promise, there will still be hope for ’13. Bard知道健康状况不好，也甭肖想回来当set-up。不过如果接下来10~14天状况不错，上 丘投球有好表现的话2013年还是有一些些希望的。 It leads to a question Bard doesn’t mind answering: with 46 games remaining in the regular season, does the pitcher believe he can contribute something to the big league team before ‘13 is all said and done? 大联盟正规赛只剩46场，还有希望吗？ “Yeah,” he answers without hesitation. “It seems kind of crazy to say right now considering I’ve only thrown the last three days. But, like I said, everything is feeling good and there’s just enough time let to give me two or three weeks to get going again, a couple of outings in the minors. Hopefully they’re still in need of bullpen guys because I feel like I can definitely help. I want to help. Bard毫不迟疑：「Yeah, 听起来很疯狂，我只有投三天，不过就像我说的：一切都很不错 ，或许可以用接下来两三个礼拜调回状态、接下来在小联盟投个几场。希望他们牛棚还需 要我的帮忙，我想帮上忙。」 “I’ve obviously been keeping track of the team. It looks like they’re having a lot of fun up there. I wouldn’t mind being a part of that at the end of the year.” 「我一直关注红袜的动向，感觉他们在那边过的很开心。我不介意在季末加入他们。」 -- ＊Athletic frame. ＊High baseball IQ. Xander ＊Smooth, fluid swing.
