田中在明星赛投球前,在休息室和记者聊到这个问题,
他说他不确定是不是被刻意加工,但他觉得球变硬,
而且缝线也变了 (lower 不确定是指什么?)
Rob Manfred 说每颗球制造过程中本来就会有差异
但田中认为这无法解释为什么球只会越飞越远,而不会更难打。
这次MLB要找野村克也来拉正了吗(误)
Tanaka, 30, has pitched in the majors leagues for six seasons.
This year, he's 5-5 with a 3.86 ERA in 18 starts.
He explained the difference.
"Feels like the ball is a little bit harder and it feels like the
seams re a little bit lower,” Tanaka said.
Is the ball juiced? He wasn’t sure. “I feel like there’s room
for conversation on the topic,” he said.
But Tanaka had an issue with one of Manfred’s talking points.
Manfred said that since the baseballs are handmade and with
natural products, there’s going to be a natural variance from
ball to ball. Tanaka said he didn’t understand why home runs have
only steadily ticked upward over recent years if that was the
case.
“I think that MLB is saying that the balls are being handmade,
then it shouldn’t just be going up. There should be a down, also,
” he said.
