身为水兵粉的我，虽然水兵维持一贯的季后赛缺席，更不要说WS，
我还是要来帮我水兵抢版面

Brandon Morrow’s pitches don’t include throwing Mariners under the bus
Brandon Morrow与水兵的爱恨情仇
LOS ANGELES – You don’t hear resentment in his voice when he talks about
his time with the Mariners. He enjoyed Seattle. He appreciated the fans. He
bonded with teammates, and all that good stuff.
从他在讲他在水兵时光的声音当中，听不出来有怨恨的意味。他喜欢西雅图，他也喜欢水
兵粉，他跟水兵的球员相处甚欢，都是美好的经验。
But Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Brandon Morrow can’t help but share an
opinion when reflecting on his former club.
但是道奇后援投手Bradon Morrow忍不住要对他的前球团表示一点意见。
“It was inconsistent developmentally,” said the 33-year-old Morrow, who is
about to take part in the first World Series of his career. “It was awesome
not spending any time in the minor leagues and making the team in the first
spring training, but long term, if you think the kid you draft fifth overall
is going to be a starting pitcher in the major leagues, you probably want to
handle that a little better. But I’m not going to throw anyone under the bus.
”
“这球队在培育上是前后矛盾的，”Brandon Morrow，33岁，要开始他人生的第一次世界
大赛。“不用花时间在小联盟打球而直接在第一次春训就进大联盟是很赞。但是，若是长
远来看，如果你认为你第五顺位选到的新秀要培养成一个大联盟等级的先发，你应该要做
的比那更好一点吧！但我现在不会要出卖说是谁的问题。”
This was not pent-up frustration Morrow was waiting to unload. It has been
eight years since Seattle dealt him to Toronto, and given that he’s about to
live out his childhood dream, Morrow doesn’t have much reason to be upset
about anything. But he does have a point.
这并不是Morrow压抑许久的挫折感要一次宣泄。水兵把Morrow交易到多伦多已经八年前的
事了，而且基于他正准备要实现他从孩提以来的梦想，他没有太多的理由要去抱怨什么事
情，但他讲了一个重点。
If the Mariners weren’t postseason contenders in 2007 — when they went
88-74 and finished six games out of the final playoff spot — he likely would
have been developed differently instead of being instantly vaulted into the
bullpen.
如果水兵2007年不会是有抢季后赛的竞争队伍
