MLB released an advertisement ahead of Tuesday's postseason opener denouncing
the anti-bat flip attitudes of many baseball traditionalists.
MLB在星期二季后赛开始之前释出了官方广告，对很多棒球老学校有反甩棒的态度嗤之以
鼻。
"Don't stop and stare. Don't flip your bat. Respect the jersey," says a
narrator at the start. Meanwhile, the commercial shows Giancarlo Stanton
admiring a lengthy home run, Carlos Correa tossing his bat, Mookie Betts
flexing and Yasiel Puig wagging his tongue after a daring headfirst slide.
“不要站在那边看球飞，不要甩棒，尊重你身上的球衣，”广告里的旁白一开始说到。而
广告里播放的画面是Giancarlo Stanton欣赏著那支超远全垒打，Carlos Correa甩棒，
Mookie Betts的打气动作，以及Yasiel Puig在一次头部滑垒后摇舌头的画面。
It also includes Atlanta rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. celebrating a home run
against the Marlins. Acuna was plunked by Miami's Jose Urena during his
impressive five-game homer streak this season, an incident that put
baseball's unwritten rules back under the microscope.
里面也有勇士菜鸟Ronald Acuna Jr.庆祝他在对马林鱼时打全垒打庆祝的画面。Acuna在他
令人惊艳的连五场全垒打的时候被马林鱼投手Jose Urena投了触身球，之后棒球潜规则就
被大家放大检视了。
After Acuna, the ad cuts to Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. Griffey sports a
backward baseball cap, just like he did as the fresh face of baseball in the
early 1990s.
在Acuna的画面后，广告内容是名人堂球员Ken Griffey Jr.上场。Griffey反戴他的棒球
帽，就像他在90年代早期刚开始打球一样。
"No more talk," Griffey says. "Let the kids play."
“不要打口水战了，”Griffey说。“让这群棒球员打球吧！”
The commercial features soundbites from a few broadcasters criticizing
players, including one from longtime Turner Sports analyst Joe Simpson. The
Braves announcer came under fire a few times this season, including when he
labeled Dodgers veteran Chase Utley "unprofessional" for wearing a "K Cancer"
T-shirt during batting practice. Simpson was left off TBS's postseason lineup
for this fall, a decision that was made last offseason.
这广告也剪进去一些播报员抨击球员的话，包括了Turner Sports资深评论员Joe Simpson
的评论。这位勇士播报员在这一季有过好几次被舆论批评的纪录，像是他说躲人老将Chase
Utley在打击练习时穿着"三振癌症"(K Cancer)的T恤是"不专业"的。Simpson在本季不会出
现在TBS的季后赛播报名单内，这决定是去年就下达的。
Proponents of baseball's unspoken code of conduct have gone hard after
certain players for their postseason antics. Puig is a regular target because
of his energetic shenanigans, and slugger Jose Bautista was rebuked for
staring down his go-ahead homer in Game 5 of the 2015 AL Division Series.
一些对于棒球界里潜规则的支持者在一些球员在季后赛的古怪举动后开始加重批评力道。
Puig是他们常针对的目标，因为他有很多很激动的奇怪动作，另外一位是大棒Jose
Bautista也因为在2015美联分区赛第五战看着那领先全垒打飞出场而被训斥。
The game's conservative crowd has gotten increasing pushback from younger
players and fans, especially as MLB struggles to target younger viewers.
Bryce Harper campaigned in 2016 to "Make Baseball Fun Again," while some
perceive the old-timers to be unfairly forcing Latin players to conform to
American cultural standards.
棒球界的老学校们也开始受到年轻球员跟粉丝的攻击，尤其是联盟现在正努力想要吸引年
轻族群。当一些人认为老古董们不公平的要求一些拉美球员要融入美式传统棒球价值的时
候，Bryce Harper在2016年的口号是"让棒球再次有趣"。
