Like baseball fans across the country, Jack Flaherty is frustrated. He wants
information, and he can’t even get what needs on television.
"It was great that you couldn’t even find it on TV,” Flaherty said Monday
morning. "You had to go to find a link on YouTube to even pull it up. That
was awesome.”
The "it" to which Flaherty was referring is a press conference held by MLB
commissioner Rob Manfred on Sunday evening. It was Manfred’s first open
availability since the scandal around the Houston Astros’ trash can banging
scheme erupted, and the commissioner was inundated with questions about what
he knew, when he knew it, and whether the punishments supplied have been
sufficient for the crimes committed.
我现在是觉得很赌烂啦。
“我在电视上根本看不到曼佛地魔的新闻发布会啊，我还要到YT上去找连结跟影片，蒸蚌
。”
这是他第一个有公开谈作弊事件的新闻发布会馁。
"He tried to brush it off like it was nothing,” Flaherty said. "He tried to
make it seem like, not that he thinks it’s a joke, but he tried to brush it
off like it was nothing, tried to make it a lighthearted situation.
"I get him wanting to get off the topic and try to go and address other
things, but that’s the most pressing issue in baseball right now, is what’s
going on, and he tried to get away from it.”
“他现在就是想装没事啊，不是说我觉得他认为这没啥，但他就是想让大家觉得这没啥。
”(不就是块金属，啊你们是在气三小)
“他现在就是一直想转移话题，去聊其他543，但现在棒球界大家最care的就是太空人作弊
的事好吗。”
There’s uncertainty around who’s to blame and what they should be blamed
for, and it all results from a slow drip of information that, every day,
seems to paint a target upon a fresh back.
"(Manfred) said that there’s only so much information you can give to
everybody and kind of let everybody make a decision for themselves. But if you
’re making a decision on half the facts, what real decision are you making
as everybody else?” Flaherty asked.
"He knows everything that went on.”
“主席说他就只能给大家这么多资讯了，你们自己决定要怎么想，但当你只知道一半的真
相，你是能做个屁决定。”
“不过吼，主席绝对知道这整件事是怎样喇。”
"It is really good that he finds all of this funny,” Flaherty tweeted on
Sunday night. He confirmed on Monday morning that the complaint was about
Manfred.
"You just saw the way he answered the other questions when it came to, like,
the chop, as opposed to when they got in serious questions about it,”
Flaherty said. "He kind of tried to laugh it off and it was just like ... I
don’t know. It just don’t sit right.”
“欸欸你看喔~ 主席能发现太鼓达人在干这些鸟事真是太棒惹。”
那个推特就是在酸曼佛地魔啦。
“你看他用不同的方式在回答作弊的问题跟其他问题就知道，他就是想笑笑地装没事儿，
这样真的很母汤。”
Flaherty said that he hasn’t heard from anyone with the Astros seeking to
clear the air, but that he also hasn’t made an attempt to reach out on his
end. Even if he did, he explained, it would be difficult to know who to trust.
"It’s good to hear when guys like Tony Kemp come out and said, ‘I don’t
want to be a part of any of this, don’t do that.’ There are certain guys in
there who didn’t want to be a part of it. But who didn’t want to be a part
of it and who was a part of it? It’s kind of up in the air right now. You
only hear what guys said.”
Flaherty also said that, from the perspective of the players, there’s a
challenge in trying to determine the proper response to the situation.
Without being certain of guilt or innocence, the lingering anger will remain
largely undirected.
说真的现在再怎么搞也很难知道到底有谁可以相信。
“我很高兴还是有像Tony Kemp这类的球员说他们真的不想作弊。的确是有人不想作弊嘛，
但大家根本不知道到底谁不想作弊，还有谁是真正的作弊仔，你只能听到这些人的片面之
词。”
从那些作弊仔的角度来说吼，他们是很难做出适当的回应啦。
不过如果说连谁算是清白或有罪的都搞不清楚，大家是很难息怒的啦。
"I don’t know if I’m going to pitch against them, but it is what it is,”
Flaherty said. "It’s not even ‘it is what it is.’ It’s frustrating. It
sucks that something like that went on, but I don’t ... it’s hard to say
anything when you don’t know all the facts, when they’re holding on to
certain information and only release certain parts of it.”
The Cardinals have five scheduled matchups with the Astros in spring
training, starting with a split squad game on Feb. 26. That provides ample
opportunity for Flaherty to take the mound against Altuve, Bregman, and the
other accused parties in the scandal.
Flaherty said he’s considered what he should do if he finds himself in that
situation. His conclusion?
"Let 'em know what's coming.”
“我现在是真的没想法啦，尤其是对上他们的时候，现在我也不知道真相，官方也在藏
，是还能怎么办。”
红雀队在春训总共会跟太鼓人打5场比赛，Flaherty有机会能跟阿偷伯、举世无双等人对垒
。
我在想想到时候应该要怎么做喇。
“我想我会让他们知道要出大事啦。”
