- Soriano 不喜欢坐板凳 Slumping left fielder Alfonso Soriano sat for the third time in eight games Wednesday and isn't happy about it. 低潮中的 Soriano 在最近八场比赛中 坐了三天板凳 他不是很高兴 When manager Lou Piniella spoke to Soriano last week in Pittsburgh and told him he would be giving him a few more days off, Soriano said he understood. But Soriano was miffed when he learned his name wasn't in the starting lineup Wednesday after he had a pair of hits Tuesday night. 上星期在匹兹堡 老皮有事先跟他说 要让他放几天假 可是这星期三 老皮没有先跟他说 "That's why I'm mad," Soriano said. "If he had told me yesterday, then I wouldn't come today ready to play." Soriano 说: 就是因为这样 所以我生气 如果他先跟我讲 我今天就不会准备好要比赛 Piniella typically gives Soriano a heads-up when he will get a day off but declined to do so this time. 老皮通常会先告诉 Soriano 要给他放假 可是这一次他没有这麽做 - 大Z 到转播席一游 Carlos Zambrano made a visit to the press box Wednesday morning to see what it's like from the other side. 星期三早上 大Z 去参观转播席 "This is so easy, man, being here, watching the game from this great view," Zambrano said. "It's not like us, being in the middle of the war." 大Z 说: 当主播好像比较好 这里风景好 不像我们还要在下面打仗 Zambrano joked with reporters before heading over to visit the TV booth, where Len Kasper gave him the mic to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in a near-empty ballpark. 大Z 和记者们开玩笑 电视转播员 Len Kasper 还拿麦克风给大Z 让他在空荡荡的球场里唱 "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" "Maybe in seven years, when I retire, I can come up and do it," he said. 他说: 也许七年以後我退休了 我可以来当主播 Why not do it on a day he's not starting? 何不现在就选一天他没先发的时候 来转播看看? "Nah, Jim Hendry will get mad at me," he said with a laugh in reference to the Cubs GM. "还是不要比较好 我怕 Jim Hendry 会生我的气" //话说老同学 Todd Hollandsworth 现在就在 Comcast SportsNet 主持小熊队的 Post Game 大Z 100胜那天 他还非常高兴的在报导这件事 - 芝加哥的天气和小熊队打击火力的相关性 这个夏天 芝加哥反常的冷 就跟小熊队今年的打击一样冷 所以有位小熊迷 就以统计做图的方式 研究到底天气冷 和打击冷 有没有关系呢? 由下图我们可以发现 当气温比平均温度 (每年那一天的平均温度) 低的时候 我们就会打击熄火 http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/199367/3702758802_aef3850de4_o.png 另外一位小熊迷 认为温度本来就会影响打击 他提供另一个图表 显示过去十年来 全垒打比率和温度的关系 http://www.sabernomics.com/sabernomics/apriltemp2.png 於是首先提出统计图的那位小熊迷 又做了另一张图 看客队的打击 是不是也被 Wrigley Field 的气温影响 由下图看来 客队整体来说 比较不受影响 不过这只是简单从图面上来看 没有做过可靠度分析 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2484/3704390233_6d200dbca1_o.png 但是另外有位小熊迷认为 变数太多 有时候两件事看起来有关联性 其实只是巧合 於是恶搞了一张图 http://sites.google.com/site/harrypitchfx/Home/sori.png 资料来源: 1.
