First of all, let me talk about Japanese baseball. Baseball is a sport with clear love and hate. Those who know enjoy it, while those who don't know turn a blind eye. Japanese baseball was developed in the fifth year of Meiji (1873) when American teacher Wilson taught students from No.1 Middle School, the predecessor of Tokyo University. This is the characteristic of Japanese baseball: it is a top-down popularization process. Students from famous universities are playing, while other college students are studying. College students are playing, so are middle school students. Middle school students follow suit, and primary school students follow suit. Only in this way has a national movement been formed. Baseball is the national game of Japan, and the whole family can often come to the gym to watch the game. It can be said that baseball, as a culture, has been deeply integrated into their blood. The buildings and streets in Tokyo are as dense and orderly as their hotels. On the way back to the hotel from the "Dome" baseball stadium in Tokyo, you can often see a small school surrounded by iron fences, with a small grassland inside. On the way back by bus after interviewing the game, I can always see a group of teenagers divided into two teams and playing a minor league in that small venue. If a sport can start from childhood and be deeply rooted in memory, it will be difficult to carry it out well. This is the case with Japanese baseball. Like American baseball, this sport exists as a tradition and is an indispensable factor in everyone's growth.
Then there are the rules of baseball: (This is a bit complicated. I'll try to summarize it in simple language. But one or two words are unclear)
First of all, you should understand the baseball field, which is a fan-shaped stadium with home plate as the origin and extension lines on both sides as the radius. See the picture below, click to see the big picture (I can't find a good picture now, so I will use a picture I answered before). It can be clearly seen from this figure that there are four bases (small yellow squares) in the infield, which are first base (initial のベース), second base (second base), third base (third base) and home base (second base) in the counterclockwise direction. The vast outfield area (the green area outside the yellow semicircle) has no base, and only three defenders defend this area. Each base in the infield has a defender: the first baseman (starter), the second baseman (second player), the third baseman (third player) and the catcher (catcher). Then there are six players, the pitcher (pitcher) and shortstop (ranger) between second base and third base, who form infield defense. Then there is outfield defense: left fielder (left fielder), right fielder (right fielder) and key players (left fielder). These are all nine defenders who have played. On the contrary, it was the attacker who hit the field. The pitcher throws the ball as cleverly as possible to match the tactics in the rules and try not to let the batter hit it. If you hit it, the defensive teammates behind the pitcher should cooperate and pick up the ball and pass it as quickly as possible to prevent the batter or runner from getting to base. The batter (that is, the attacker) should try his best to hit the ball, and if he hits the ball, he should run to the base bag with all his strength. Base runner who runs from first base to home plate counts as one point.
Besides, it is the number of games. There are nine innings in a baseball game (if the game is tied, there may be overtime, according to the regulations of the Chairman's Committee), and these nine innings have the first half and the second half respectively (usually called "the first half" and "the second half"). For example: a, b? In the first half of the first game, Team A attacked Team B first, which was defense. At the end of the game, team A scored two points, and team A scored two points in the first half. Substitution at the end of the first half. It was the second half of the first game: Team B attacked and Team A defended. It was like this until the ninth inning.
And then every game. What do you mean, out? (アウト)? How can the defending side get the attacking side out to change the game? ? How did the attacker seize the opportunity to score in this game?
Defensive and offensive opportunities are fair to both teams. Therefore, each attacker should strive for the most points before the end of the game, while the defender should embody the team spirit of nine people and form the strongest shield to prevent being scored. Baseball game rules: when the attacker reaches three outs in each game, the offensive and defensive exchanges (commonly known as: game change). There are generally two links to exit: the batting link (that is, the pitcher's pitch directly knocks the batter down) and the base running link (the batter becomes the base runner after hitting the ball and the defender knocks him down).
Let's talk about hitting the ball first: the pitcher throws good balls and bad balls. The "strike zone" is defined as the area from the top of the batter's shoulder to the midpoint along the uniform waistband, and the horizontal line drawn from this point and the horizontal line drawn from the lower edge of the batter's knee are in the space above the home plate. Of course, this area is decided by the referee behind the catcher. If the ball is good, the referee will call it good. On the contrary, the area outside the strike zone is the bad zone, and the referee will shout the ball, indicating that the ball is a bad ball. The batter should have a keen judgment on the quality of the ball at the moment of hitting the ball. If the ball is good, but the batter fails to swing or fails to swing, it is considered a good ball. In this case, the batter is out three times, which is called strike out (ストラィクァト). If the pitcher throws a bad ball, the batter makes an accurate judgment and does not swing. I remember a bad ball, four bad balls in a row, and the batter was automatically walked to first base. If a bad ball is thrown, whether it is played or not, it is a good ball, which comes down to the good ball rule I mentioned earlier. If you hit it, it comes down to the basic running link I mentioned below. Pitchers sometimes throw bad balls for tactical reasons to induce batters to throw, such as interspersed with several bad balls in a good ball. Sometimes it shows that the pitcher's physical strength drops, which leads to an increase in the number of bad balls.
Then there is the base run: once the ball is hit (out of bounds), the batter starts to run? (ok). The runner reached the base at the fastest speed. When the man reached the base before the ball arrived, base runner got on the base safely (the referee called it safe). On the contrary, when the ball arrives before that person, the runner is out. At this time, there are many situations: first, the batter hits a fly ball in the outfield (that is, a fly ball that is very high and far above the outfield), and the outfielder (defender) directly catches the ball (note the premise: the ball does not land), and directly excludes the batter. This is called catching the ball and killing it. At this point, if there is a runner on the base (that is, an attacker who has been on the base before), he must wait until the ball is killed before he can move on at the current base (that is, the ball cannot start running during the flight). If he runs away and the ball is killed, he must return to his original base. Then, as I said just now, the ball reaches the base before the person arrives. This is called blocking (no wild ball). The action of blocking is that before base runner steps on the base bag, any part of the base guard's body (usually one foot) touches the base bag ball and enters the glove. Touching kill (タググ wild ball) is another way to make it, including not only the blocking action I just mentioned, but also touching the runner's body with the hand or gloves holding the ball before the person arrives. If the touch ball appears in front of the base, base runner will be out, otherwise it is safe.
Here I must emphasize the difference between contact killing and blocking: Why is there more contact killing than blocking? That's because the situation of runners can be divided into two types: forced base (passive base) and active base. "Forced entry" means that the runner must run to the next base. For example, if there is someone on the first base, the batter must run to the base, so that the batter and runner on the first base are forced to enter the base (because two runners can't stand on the same base), which can make him out. The most common example of "taking the initiative to enter the base" is stealing the base (stealing wild balls). When the pitcher throws the ball and the runner (attacker) rushes to the next base, stealing the base will happen. At this time, the defensive action is that the catcher catches the pitcher's ball quickly, but at this time, the baseman must touch and kill to get him out.
Basically, base runner was knocked down by the defensive link. The game was changed when three attackers were knocked down in the pitching and base running. I must say here: a player who safely gets on base and returns to home plate (that is, runs the fourth base and returns to home plate safely to score) is not a game.
As you mentioned in your question, two suspensions occurred at the same time, which made two base runner out at the same time. For example, there is base runner at first base, and the batter hits an infield ball (such a ball is generally of low quality, and its speed may be slow). Base runner at first base must run to first base (the reason was mentioned just now), and the batter must be at first base, so that the infield defender can easily pass the ball to the second baseman to make the first base base runner out (block), and then the second baseman passes it to the first baseman to make the batter out. At the same time, two bans are called double killing (of course, this is the most common situation, or one kill and one ban. As long as there are two "kills" in the process of hitting, it is called double kill? Play). By the way, let me say it again. When the runner gets on the base, he can choose whether to run the base or not. For example, there is someone on the second base, and the batter runs to the first base after hitting the ball. At this time, base runner at the second base can choose whether to run the base (because the first base is empty, the wrong batter is not prevented from getting on the base). If he feels teased again, double it? The possibility of playing, it does not choose to start playing, so as not to be killed by both sides.
What you said about sacrifice is a tactic. The batter usually hits an infield ground ball and pushes his teammate to the base. This kind of ball may not guarantee that you can get on the base safely, but it can ensure that your teammates on the base can go to the next base and sacrifice themselves. It is vividly called the sacrificial game. This is a tactic that must be used only in the case of zero out or one out. ? Imagine: if this tactic is used after two outs, the batter will be "sacrificed" and become three outs, then it will be necessary to change the field, and it will be meaningless for the teammates on the base to push forward. There are people on this base, but three people have been eliminated, which is called "residue".
There are many tactics, which I won't introduce here, such as deliberately walking four balls, which Japan calls Jingyuan ball. Usually, the batter has a high batting rate. At this time, there are people on the base. For tactical reasons, the pitcher will throw four bad balls to give the batter first base. In case he hits a home run.
Home run (ホームラン) means that the ball hit by the batter is within the extension line of the sideline on both sides of the fan-shaped stadium, but outside the fan-shaped arc (outside the home run wall of the actual stadium). After the home run, all runners, including the batter, can easily run the fourth base and return to home plate to score. If there is no runner on the base, you get a point, which is also called Yangchun home run. By analogy, three people on base, plus the batter, is four points. So a home run can score up to four points, also known as gold home run and slam. Again, players who return to base safely are not out, so even if they hit a gold home run, if the number of outs is still less than three, they can't change games. In other words, in a game, if the defender collapses, the attacker can get a lot of points.
I think the above are the most basic baseball rules and some tactical concepts. If you understand them, you should be able to cope with watching a baseball game. I think LZ should live in Japan. It is a very happy thing to have access to baseball (hehe, at least I think so). You can often watch some baseball games and even take part in some baseball games. It will be very easy to understand baseball.
I wrote a lot. LZ wants to talk about it briefly, but it really takes more than one or two sentences to solve this complicated problem. I still hope I can read it patiently ~ ~ ~
Again: I really think the Japanese in the article are so bad that I can only apologize again ~ ~?
Supplementary question: You said that this was the sacrifice made by Gao Fei. I mentioned the sacrifice made by infield earlier, which is the same. The batter was killed for flying the ball high in the outfield, and base runner had to wait for the catch before he could start running. In other words, when the ball is caught, base runner must stay on the original base bag. Therefore, since this sacrifice ball is a fly ball to send his teammates away, of course, the farther away the better, so that after being killed, the catcher will immediately pass the ball to the next base where the runner runs. The farther the distance, the more time it takes teammates to reach the base. The runner will not necessarily return to home plate at this time, depending on whether there is enough time. But if there is someone on third base before hitting the ball, the fly ball will probably send this base runner back to home plate safely. This score. These sacrificial battles I'm talking about were completed with zero outs or one outs.
But what you said about 3out is another matter. If there are two outs, there is no sacrifice at all. Two outs, Gao Fei was killed in the outfield, resulting in three outs, going to base and changing fields. ? At this time, there is no doubt. So when there was a fly ball in two outs, base runner was right to go forward. Change it when you receive it. If you miss, you miss, and you earn. So, when you said 3out ended the attack, there was no base run at all. ?
That's what I thought. If you don't know what to add, just leave me a message! !
