baseman

He was that second baseman trying to understand why I wouldn't go down.

他就是那个二垒手 想方设法知道我为什么打不倒

Anyway, I was talking to the first baseman who is in a bit of a slump.

我还跟一个守垒员聊了聊 他当时状态不佳

Now, I never took my eyes off of that second baseman, never.

我一动不动地盯着那个二垒手

So this big, dumb second baseman, he gets hot and he kicks me in the balls.

然后那个蠢大个二垒手 他火冒三丈 然后踢了我的蛋

I throw the sinker, and it's an easy grounder to third a sure doubleplay until my third baseman boots it, and just like that, we lose.

我投了个下坠球 本该是很容易接的贴地球 稳稳的双杀 没想到三垒守备员踢到了球 结果就这样 我们输了

When a second baseman all of a sudden can't throw to first or a golfer tries to putt and they get all embarrassed and upset, and then that makes the yips worse, and it's a hot mess, and then they feel like even more of a failure.

当二垒手突然扔不到一垒 或是高尔夫球手想要轻推进球 他们会感到窘迫和沮丧 于是投球失忆症恶化 然后就变得一团乱 他们就感到更加失败了

It's because when the ball is hit hard to leftfield and the runner takes off at a rate of 26 feet per second, the third baseman has, at most, three, maybe four seconds to get the ball from third to first.

是因為球被打到左外野很遠的地方時 跑壘手以每秒8米的速度起跑 三壘手最多只有三四秒時間 把球從三壘傳到一壘
