Joe Maddon makes Rays lineup '867-5309' to honor Tommy Tutone's 'Jenny'
Tommy Tutone, you probably don't know Joe Maddon, but you make him so happy.
Maddon, the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays who is known for trying thoughtful
gimmicks that might break up the monotony of the long Major League Baseball
season, has turned to '80s pop music in order to give his lineup a fresh look.
His batting order Thursday against the Detroit Tigers is patterned after
Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny" singles-bar anthem, a No. 1 hit in 1982 that's still
an earwig to this day.
今天西瓜在对老虎比赛的噢打单 向1982第一名的金曲 867-5309致敬
I know you think it's like the other Rays lineups before — most of them have
not been good, and they rank in the lower third in runs scored in the league.
But perhaps this one will have a certain ring to it and they'll score against
Max Scherzer and friends in Motown.
在这之前西瓜试了很多先发名单效果都不太好 得分是联盟倒数第三
说不定这个Lineup可以有好效果呦 (以结果看....不怎样)
In baseball, players are assigned numbers based on their defensive position.
"1" is the pitcher, "2" is the catcher, "3" is the first baseman, "4" is the
second baseman, "5" is the third baseman and "6" is the shortstop. The
outfielders, from left to right, are "7-8-9." The designated hitter doesn't get
a number (he doesn't play defense!) so "0" works for him. Here's how it plays
out on Maddon's lineup card:
棒球守备位置可以用1~9表示 DH没有守备 所以就叫他0号吧
Maddon also should say that he wanted to try this lineup already, but he had
lost his nerve until now. He certainly has a disturbed imagination, too.
西瓜说他想试这顺序很久了
Of course, it's easy to pick nits by saying that Maddon's 867-5309 theme only
has seven numbers and a baseball lineup has nine (10 including the pitcher in
American League games). So while it's clever and awesome and even radical,
dude, it's incomplete by two and not sustainable for victory. He's leaving out
the catcher and the second baseman. But who's ever heard of a hit song that
goes "867-5309-24"? You might connect with Uganda by dialing that. It also
could be a typical White Sox rundown. No thank

注 867-5309/Jenny是1982年 排行榜第一名的金曲
