The narrative is spreading rapidly in the early days of spring training, told
with a certain taste of glee. The Astros are getting hit by a lot of pitches!
The cheaters are getting their comeuppance! They're already being targeted
and it's not even the regular season! There are Twitter accounts with names
like Astros* Bean Counter and 2020 Astros Shame Tour tracking all the hit
batters. Non-sports sites are publishing videos on Facebook. The "Today" show
did a segment on it Friday morning. My friend Dan tells me that even his mom
mentioned to him that the Astros are getting hit a lot.
故事已在早前的春训期间被以某种带有喜悦的方式迅速传开。休士顿太空人要吃一堆触身
球了!这些作弊仔正在接受他们的报应!他们早就已经被锁定了，而且这只是春训还没开季
!推特上有一些帐号像是“太空人*统计专家”、“2020太空人羞耻巡回之旅”正在追踪这
些被丢的打者。一些非体育网站也在Facebook上发表影片，“今日”节目就在周五早上的
节目中将这些片段分门别类。我的好友Dan跟我说连他妈都跟他提到太空人正在吃一堆触
身球。
The narrative isn't completely wrong, but let's put this in some context. As
always, context is important and hyperbole can be misleading.
这些故事不全然是错的，但让我们考虑一下整件事情的脉络。就像每件事一样，脉络是非
常重要的，一些太过夸张的说法可能会误导他人。
Entering Friday's spring training games, the Astros have been hit by seven
pitches. That's no longer the most; the Cardinals have been hit by eight
pitches
