The struggling Chicago White Sox, whose fall out of contention culminated with m
oving veteran players at the trade deadline, were plagued by a culture that had
"no rules" in which a rookie regularly fell asleep in the bullpen, former White
Sox relief pitcher Keynan Middleton said Sunday.
今年打得很糟糕且已经不在竞争行列内并在交易截止日开卖队上数名老将的芝加哥白袜，星
期日遭曾效力于该队的中继投手指出白袜球队文化毫无纪律，新秀们甚至经常在牛棚里睡觉
。
…以下节录Middleton说的话
"We came in with no rules," Middleton said. "I don't know how you police the cul
ture if there are no rules or guidelines to follow because everyone is doing the
ir own thing. Like, how do you say anything about it because there are no rules?
"You have rookies sleeping in the bullpen during the game. You have guys missing
meetings. You have guys missing PFPs (pitcher fielding practices), and there ar
e no consequences for any of this stuff."
“我们队上毫无规则。我不知道如果你一点规则或方针都没有的话该如何导正球队文化因为
大家都在各做各的。你毫无规则的话你还能说什么?
你有菜鸟球员在牛棚里面睡大觉；你有球员缺席球队会议；你有球员不出席投手守备练习。
而上述这些行为都不会收到任何处分。
Multiple sources, who corroborated Middleton's account to ESPN, said a pitcher w
as seen napping during games as well as skipping fielding practice.
When contacted Sunday night about Middleton's remarks, the White Sox said they h
ad no comment.
多个内线都呼应了Middleton所说的事。有一名投手在比赛中被看到在睡午觉且还缺席了守备
练习。
记者星期日晚间联络了白袜队，白袜表示不予置评。
"The second I found out I was traded, I shaved my face," Middleton said. "I was
ready to play by their rules because all I want to do is win games. ... You know
how to act [here]. You know not to be late and you know there are consequences
if you are late."
“我知道被交易到洋基的那一刻我就立刻剃了胡子。我已经准备好去有人在管的球队打球了
，因为我想要赢球…你知道你在那边该如何表现。你知道你不该迟到你也知道你迟到会有什
么后果。”
"When I got to spring training, I heard a lot of the same stuff was happening la
st year," Middleton said. "It's happening again this year, so not sure how I cou
ld change it. They don't tell you not to miss PFPs. They don't tell you not to m
iss meetings, and if it happens, it's just, 'OK.'"
“当我在春训时就听说了很多去年这队也发生的一样的鸟事。今年仍故态复萌，我不知道我
能改变任何东西。他们不会管你缺席投手守备练习；他们不会管你缺席会议。当你真的犯错
时，他们就只会说一声OK而已。”
"I wouldn't say anything bad about the pitching staff," Middleton said. "We went
about our work the right way. I think the rest of the team struggled to do the
right thing."
“我不会说我们投手及投手教练团队的坏话。我们正确的完成了我们的工作。我觉得队上剩
下的人都在为了做正确的事情挣扎。”
"If you're trying to create culture, you need your big dogs," Middleton said. "T
he guys who played in the WBC were our big dogs, and those are the guys I feel l
ike can police the things that are happening.
“如果你打算创造球队文化，你必须要有老大哥站出来管。有去打WBC那群就是我们的老大哥
，而我也觉得他们能够管队上的乱象。
"There was no jelling of the team. We're supposed to find our identity in spring
training so we can roll out for the season. If you don't find your identity, yo
u're scuffling from Day 1."
“我们队上毫无凝聚力。我们理应在春训时明白自己的角色才能好好打完这个赛季。如果你
找不到自己的角色，那你从第一天就会开始挣扎了。”
Asked where the void exists with the White Sox, Middleton said: "Leadership in g
eneral. They say s
