Following Rays' example, Blue Jays will start reliever Tyler Clippard
蓝鸟也要效法光芒实施"Open酱"了吗?
We'll have to wait to see whether the Tampa Bay Rays' radical "bullpen day"
strategy changes the sport in the long-term, but more teams are now following
the example.
我们或许还要观察看看光芒队使用"Open酱"的这种策略对棒球产业的影响，但是我们可以
预期有越来越多队伍开始用这招了。
The Toronto Blue Jays announced that Tyler Clippard will take the mound to
start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday.
多伦多蓝鸟宣布星期四对水手时会让Tyler Clippard先发。
Toronto had reliever John Axford start last Saturday against the Chicago
White Sox, but with Clippard going Thursday, it looks like it could become a
regular thing for the Blue Jays.
蓝鸟上星期六对芝加哥白袜时用后援手John Axford先发，这星期四又让Clippard先发，看
起来蓝鸟像是要规律用这招的样子。
Clippard came up as a starting pitcher and made eight starts in 2007-2008.
His last start was on June 14, 2008 for the Nationals, oddly enough, also
against the Mariners in Seattle. Clippard, 33, has pitched well this year,
posting a 3.73 ERA in 53 games for the Blue Jays.
Clippard在2007-08赛季已先发上阵，先发八次，最后一次是在2008年的6/14为国民投球，
巧的是对手刚好也是水手。Clippard，今年33岁，今年投的不错，为蓝鸟出赛53次，ERA
3.73。
Tampa Bay's use of "bullpen days" has made headlines this season, with the
team often piecing together nine innings, with pitchers who are usually
relievers getting the start. Sergio Romo, who had never started in a game in
his MLB career, has made five starts for the Rays this season.
光芒本季开始使用"Open酱"，让投手群们分担九局，用救援投手先发。Sergio Romo，从未
在MLB先发过，本季在光芒就已经先发了五次。
The San Diego Padres are another team who has experimented with the strategy
this season, with Matt Strahm making five starts all lasting less than four
innings.
教士是另外一队在本季采用"Open酱"，投手Mat Strahm五次先发，都没投超过4局。
Toronto traded a number of pitchers at the deadline, mostly relievers. The
club offloaded Seungwhan Oh, Roberto Osuna, Aaron Loup and John Axford, in
addition to starter J.A. Happ.
蓝鸟在交易期限前交易了一些投手，大部分是后援；他们交易走了吴升桓，Osuna，Loup，
Axford以及先发J.A. Happ。
