簡單來說
因為大都會隊的打擊狀況這陣子慘到有點不勝唏噓
分區排名也直直落到第三
連老闆Steve Cohen前幾天都在推特上放話說這不該是職業球員的水準
導致球員連在自家主場比賽都被自己的球迷噓
對於交易大限前才轉來大都會的Javier Baez
心裡當然不是滋味
而今天大都會隊在自己家裡以9-4大勝國民隊的比賽後
該役敲出全壘打的Baez居然伸手對自己主場球迷比倒讚
對此，Baez表示：
"We're not machines," Baez said. "We're going to struggle seven times out of
10. It just feels bad when ... I strike out and get booed. It doesn't really
get to me but I want to let them know that when we're successful, we're going
to do the same thing to let them know how it feels."
「我們又不是機器。我們十次裡面有七次會失敗。只是我被三振還被噓的時候實在很不
爽。當然我不會被影響啦，但我要讓他們知道當我們成功的時候，我們也要以其人之道
還治其人之身來讓他們感同身受。」
這樣的爭議行為也讓球團總裁Sandy Alderson回應了：
In a post-game press conference today, Javy Baez stated that his “thumbs down
” gesture during the game was a message to fans who recently have booed him
and other players for poor performance. These comments, and any gestures by
him or other players with a similar intent, are totally unacceptable and will
not be tolerated.
Mets fans are understandably frustrated over the team’s recent performance.
The players and the organization are equally frustrated, but fans at Citi
Field have every right to express their own disappointment. Booing is every
fan’s right.
The Mets will not tolerate any player gesture that is unprofessional in its
meaning or is directed in a negative way toward our fans. I will be meeting
with our players and staff to convey this message directly.
Mets fans are loyal, passionate, knowledgeable and more than willing to
express themselves. We love them for every one of these qualities.
「在今天的賽後訪問中，Javy Baez表示他的「倒讚」手勢是一種對球迷針對他和一些表
現不佳的球員的噓聲的回應。他或其他球員所具有相似意圖的言論和手勢都是不被允
許的。
大都會球迷對球隊近期表現的失望是可以理解的。球員們和球團也一樣失望，但花旗
球場內的球迷們擁有表達自己失望的權利。給予噓聲是所有球迷的權利。
大都會球隊不會容忍球員做出任何不敬業或者對球迷有負面觀感的行為。我會和我們
的球員及幹部會面以直接傳達這訊息。
大都會隊的球迷很忠心、熱情、博學且願意表達自我。我們因為這些種種特質而熱愛
他們。」

這樣Baez明年還有機會留嗎？
