Francona 'not going to run from' Jenks - 美國職棒

BOSTON -- After a tough weekend for Bobby Jenks, who blew a lead and was

saddled with Friday's 5-4 loss, then came in Sunday and blew a two-run lead,

Red Sox manager Terry Francona said "we are not going to run from him. He's

going to help us win a lot of games.''


粉柯南表示:我們暫時不打算動他,他還是可以給我們很大的幫助

While Francona voiced his support, he has cause to consider taking the same

approach with Jenks as he did with Carl Crawford when he dropped Crawford to

the No. 8 hole in the batting order. Until Jenks gets his act together,

Francona might want to avoid using him in a close games -- the preferred term

these days is "high-leverage" situations. Matt Albers, who retired all six

batters he faced in the seventh and eighth innings, has a 1.13 ERA and provides

a logical alternative to Jenks, whose ERA now stands at 9.35.


為了降低他的壓力,考慮調離重要局數同CC之所以調到第8棒也是同樣原因


Jenks, who was loudly booed as he came off the mound Sunday, told reporters

after the game that he had spotted a mechanical flaw that he hoped could be

easily corrected. "He just needs a good inning to relax,'' Francona said.

But maybe it would be best, for the time being, if that inning come in less

stressful circumstances.


壓力太大!?
