Sign-Stealing 101 Gets a Fan Ejected From Yankee Stadium
洋基粉絲的偷暗號方式
In the realm of baseball espionage, this was about as low-tech as it gets: A
fan with a good view of the catcher and a strong set of lungs.
在棒球諜對諜的世界裡,再原始的方式都是可以達到目的的:一個球迷,一個可以看到捕
手的位置,跟一個好的肺活量…
That was all it took on Tuesday night for that fan to be ejected from Yankee
Stadium for yelling out information on pitch location to the Yankees’ Gary
Sanchez while he was hitting in the eighth inning of his team’s 6-1 victory
over the Tampa Bay Rays.
那就是星期二晚上發生的事-八局時,一個球迷在洋基Gary Sanchez上場打擊的時候在場
外大叫捕手的位置給Sanchez,該球迷被驅逐出場。洋基最後以6-1打敗光芒。
This was, for sure, not anything like the recent sign-stealing case involving
the Boston Red Sox, who had a member of their training staff wearing an Apple
Watch in a fairly high-tech bid to let their hitters know what pitch might be
coming.
可以確定的是,這次的偷暗號完全不像之前紅襪的偷暗號事件-他們的一位訓練員藉由
Apple Watch來傳遞訊息,讓打者知道投手要投什麼球。
That effort appeared to involve Red Sox personnel gleaning information about
a catcher’s signals off video feeds of the game, rapidly getting that
information to the dugout via the watch and then verbally conveying that
information to players on the field.
整個紅襪偷暗號的行動主要是藉由錄影對方捕手的暗號分析後,將訊息藉由Apple Watch傳
到休息區,再將訊息經由口頭告知場上的球員。
In contrast, the fan on Tuesday was apparently watching the Rays catcher
shift his body to set a target for the next pitch and then yelling out what
he had just observed. No Apple Watch required.
然而,星期二那天晚上被驅逐的球迷只是看光芒的捕手身體為了接下一球而做的身體移
動,然後把捕手的位置喊給球員聽
