Instant replay used for first time
即时重播系统第一次使用
Umpires take second look at A-Rod's homer in ninth inning
裁判在第九局再次检视A-Rod的全垒打
History was made at Tropicana Field on Wednesday night,
when instant replay was used for the first time in Major League history. The
play in question was a home run hit by Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning of
the Rays-Yankees contest.
周三晚上在纯品康纳球场,大联盟史无前例的第一次使用即时重播系统写下了历史,
遭到质疑的是一支A-Rod在洋基光芒对战中第九局所轰出的全垒打。
Rodriguez hit a 2-2 pitch from Rays closer Troy Percival toward the foul pole
in left field for what appeared to be a two-run homer. Rays manager Joe
Maddon thought otherwise, and he went onto the field to meet with the
umpires. After some discussion, the umpires left the field to review the
monitor in the third-base dugout.
Rodriguez在球数两好两坏时从光芒的终结者Troy Percival打出一支朝向左外野界外标竿
的两分砲,光芒的教头Joe Maddon不这么认为并走向裁判提出质疑,在些许讨论过后,裁
判们离开了球场到三垒边的休息室检视重播画面。
Approximately two minutes and 15 seconds later, a ruling was made by the
umpiring crew headed by Charlie Reliford that the call would stand and
Rodriguez had his 549th career home run.
大约两分十五秒过后,以Charlie Reliford为首的裁判团做出了判决,断定先前全垒打的
界定是正确的,并保住Rodriguez生涯第549发全垒打。
All televised MLB games are monitored and staffed by an expert technician and
either an umpire supervisor or a former umpire at Major League Baseball
Advanced Media headquarters in New York. A television monitor and a secure
telephone link to MLBAM, placed next to the monitor, have been installed at
all 30 ballparks.
所有电视转拨的大联盟比赛都有被纽约大联盟进阶媒体总部的一位专业技术人员及一位裁
判主管或者前任裁判所检视,所有球场都有一个萤幕和保密电话连线至该总部。
If the crew chief determines that instant replay review is necessary on a
particular disputed home run, he calls the MLB Advanced Media technician, who
then transmits the most appropriate video footage to the crew chief and the
umpire crew on site. The umpire supervisor or former umpire does not have
direct communication with any of the umpires on site, and the decision to
reverse a call is at the sole discretion of the crew chief. The standard used
by the crew chief when reviewing a play is whether there is clear and
convincing evidence that the umpire's decision on the field was incorrect and
should be reversed. The use of replay is limited only to home runs: in or
out, fair or foul and fan interference.
当在场工作人员的总监觉得即时重播系统是必要时,他会致电媒体总部的技师,技师回传
最合宜的画面给总监及裁判团,在总部的裁判主管或前任裁判并不会直接与在球场的任何
裁判沟通,判决的决定权是在球场总监手中,而总监观看重播的标准是看是否有清楚且决
定性的证据来推翻裁判错误的判决,重播系统只可用于全垒打的出去与否、界内界外、和
观众的干预。
