Hayburst針對一大堆罵他無恥、威脅要他死的人的回應:
昨天透過特寫鏡頭Buchholz的左前臂, 顯示他用右手手指在左前臂塗抹一些異物, 因
此我說他在作弊。
我這麼說的原因是因為, 他右手的食指和中指, 塗抹的是一些發亮、暗色膏藥狀的東
西不像是手臂上的皮膚和流汗自然產生的東西。然後, 抹上東西的兩指和大姆指併儱,
再用口水舔其他兩指, 然後握住球開始投球。
因此, 我在電視、廣播及報紙發言控訴這已經犯規。
我覺得我的發言是有道理的。
我一點都不感到後悔。
沒錯, 有一大堆人發言罵我, 包括
一個生涯成績爛透的小聯盟投手, 懂個屁
轉播成績爛透的球隊, 只好挖苦贏他的球隊出氣
只是在嫉妒天份比自己無限大的投手
藍鳥是個打得爛透的球隊, 只好拚命找話題增加收視
無恥透頂想辦法讓自己上頭條的爛主播
昨天中午後, 更瘋狂在Twitter上貼文, 威脅要幹掉我
**哈欠**
就這些...
說得再多, 明眼的人都看得見, Buchholz就是把那膏藥狀的東西弄到球上, 來幫他
的球路作點什麼。
而這些是在他沒有把手放在他黏呼呼、溼透的頭髮時所幹的事情。
但這件最棒的部份在於...我有點喜歡投手幹這些有的沒有的事情。
任何類型的投手都會在手裡搞些花樣。從我這種生涯成績爛透的小聯盟投手到明日
之星的Buchholz都一樣會這麼搞。
任何投手都説你要必須想辦法讓球多一點黏性。在我的發言造網路混戰後, Buchholz
想必會自言自語的這麼說吧!
但這並不意味著這就不是在作弊。
我掌握一些來源告訴我, Bubchholz是在左手臂塗上防曬油--即便當天Rogers Centre
的屋頂關閉不會曬到太陽。他將防曬油混合止滑粉。或許你不知道, 汗水、止滑粉和防曬
油混合後, 就是信手拈來的假牙黏著劑, 不是Crisco, Bardol 或是Vagisil(1989年電影
大聯盟的梗), 但必要時卻相當有用。

諷刺的是, 去年我才寫過一篇文章為Jose Valverde可能在投口水球的狀況, 出言辯
護, 但卻被大家罵得狗血淋頭。Valverde可不像在特寫鏡頭下抹手指的Buchholz那樣作得
那麼明顯, 大家便說我是站在邪惡的一方。
現在明明有確切的特寫鏡頭說有人在作弊, 我出言說這是在作弊卻又被罵得狗血淋頭
。
鄉民們, 投手在作犯規的事。有些人在作"明明超過官方限制五哩以外"可接受的事情
。其中一些明顯是赫赫有名的人物--例如Cliff Lee的帽子?
有些人不顧一切作這些規定以外的事情, 會不會只是希望官方趕快出面禁止, 而不是
放任睜隻眼閉隻眼。就像, 有個人明目張膽的用手指塗抹在油呼呼、髒髒的、暗色的手臂
上, 再把手指放到嘴裡舔, 放到黏呼呼的頭髮裡搓呢。
假如你按照棒球規則來看, Buchholz就是在犯規。只是嚴重的程度要看他手上的東西
到底是什麼, 但無論是大是小都是犯規。
唯一讓我覺得Buchholz不是那些嚴重專業作弊的人原因是, 他是明目張膽的在你面前
這麼搞。沒有專業作弊的人會(笨到)犯這種錯。
就像禁止增強表現藥劑(PED)一樣, 我是一個真的相信棒球選手會想辦法作些什麼取得
優勢。我尊重會在找地方塗點什麼或黏些什麼的人。那真的需要靠一些驚人的技巧, 結果
才會真的有效。事實上, 我覺得應該改改這麼講: "如果你沒在作弊, 那是你因為沒在試著
作弊。"
但是別把我和Jack Morris講得那麼不堪, 我們只是從特寫鏡頭看到的事實, 我們都
不覺得我們說的有什麼問題。
我也不會說藍鳥隊不是打得很爛, 尤甚在它明明就打爛透了我不會不承認。
我這樣說也不是想要增加收視率。
我不裝出我是個資深的轉播人員。
我當過一段時間的投手, 瞭解我要投的好一定要想辦法取得些優勢, 我只是點出來有
些人在這麼做。對於我說過的一切, 我不會感到報歉。
只是, 如果你要去舔或是要去塗點什麼? 不要作得那麼明顯, 而且必須要有被公開檢
驗的心裡準備。

Hayhurst on MLB: Buchholz was cheating, but that’s okay
Dirk Hayhurst
May 3, 2013, 8:48 AM
Yesterday, aided by close-up video clearly showing Clay Buchholz going to his
arm and wiping his fingers across a foreign-looking substance, I made the
statement that he was cheating.
I did so because Buchholz’s right pointer and middle fingers went to a
glistening, discoloured patch of something more than skin and sweat on his
left forearm. Then, with fingers loaded, he coupled them with his thumb,
messaged the pairing, licked the remainder, and took hold of the ball.
Consequently, I accused him — on television, radio, and print — of foul
play.
I stand by that statement.
Furthermore, I don’t feel a damn bit sorry about it.
Oh, I’ve heard all the standard retorts:
I’m a career minor-leaguer with crap numbers therefore I don’t know
anything about anything.
I’m a broadcaster for a team that (at present) stinks, and is lashing out
bitterly at a team that beat it.
I’m jealous of a pitcher infinitely more talented than myself.
I’m desperately reaching for topics since the Blue Jays are such an ugly one.
I’m a shameless, headline-grabbing attention whore.
Mix in a few death threats for spice and you pretty much have my Twitter feed
since yesterday afternoon.
*Yawns*
Whatever…
The fact remains, Buchholz still went to a patch on his arm to get something
he obviously used to help him do something with the ball.
And this is when he wasn’t sticking his hand in his greasy, dripping hair.
But the best part of it all is… I kind of like it.
All pitchers have something on their hands. All of them. From a crappy career
minor league like me to budding superstar Buchholz.
Any baseball pitcher will tell you that you’ve got to get some tack on the
ball. Hell, Buchholz said it himself after my accusations lit the Internet on
fire.
That doesn’t mean it’s not cheating.
I had sources telling me that Buchholz was putting sunscreen on his arms —
even though the roof at the Rogers Centre was shut — and mixing it with
rosin. In case you didn’t know, sweat, rosin, and sunscreen mixed together
make a wonderful, on-the-fly form of baseball Fixodent. Try it. It’s no
Crisco, Bardol or Vagisil, but it’s good in a pinch.
Ironically, I wrote an article about Jose Valverde’s supposed spitter last
year, essentially defending it. I got lambasted for taking the side of the
wicked, and that was over film much less overt than the film of Buchholz
loading his fingers.
Now I’m getting lambasted for calling this cheating; cheating when there is
solid video evidence to support it.
Pitchers break the law, folks. Some do it in the accepted “it’s only five
miles over the limit, officer,” way. Some have big enough names that they
can get away with it even when it’s plain for all to see – Cliff Lee’s
hat, anyone?
Some do it recklessly and are just begging to get called out on it. Like,
say, a guy who blatantly goes to his greasy, splotchy, discoloured arm and
sticks his fingers in his mouth or greasy hair.
If you’re following the rules, Buchholz was breaking them. How big or small
depends on what was really on his arm.
The only thing that really makes me feel like Clay wasn’t up to any
seriously devious cheating is that it was so out in front of your face. No
pro cheater would make that mistake.
Barring performance enhancing drugs, I’m actually a firm believer in trying
to get an edge. I respect a little tack and slime here and there. It actually
takes an amazing amount of skill to use it effectively. In fact, I think it
was for doctoring that the phrase, “If you’re not cheating, you’re not
trying,” was coined.
But, don’t put me or any other former player/broadcasters in a situation to
call you out on it because we will. Jack Morris saw the same things I did and
he doesn’t feel a damn bit sorry for saying something either.
Look, I won’t try and tell you the Blue Jays don’t stink when they
obviously do.
I won’t try and tell you I’m above a good attention grab.
I won’t even act like I’ve been around as long some of my senior
player/broadcasting peers.
But, I was around long enough to know I needed an edge, and subsequently
learn how to spot others who are finding one. And for that, I won’t say I’m
sorry.
You want to lick and wipe and load up? Be less obvious or deal with the
scrutiny.
