We did it to ourselves,’ A.J. Hinch says of Astros’ tainted title
問到太空人有汙點的世界大賽冠軍 A.J. Hinch說："我們自找的。"

Is the Houston Astros’ World Series championship tainted?
休斯頓太空人的世界大賽冠軍是不是有汙點呢？

A.J. Hinch, the manager of that 2017 team, did not say no.
A.J. Hinch是2017年時太空人的總教練，他沒有說不是。

“It’s a fair question,” he said on MLB Network on Thursday.
「這個問題很合理，」他星期四的時候在訪問時說到。

The Astros beat the Dodgers in the the 2017 World Series. Major League
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred last month announced that a league
investigation had determined the Astros had violated league rules against
using technology to steal signs during games.
太空人是在2017年的世界大賽擊敗了道奇。上個月聯盟主席Rob Manfred宣布調查結果，認為太空人不當使用科技偷取暗號，違反了聯盟規定。

The perception that the Astros cheated their way to victory might never be
erased, Hinch acknowledged.
Hinch知道大家認為太空人用作弊的方式拿到冠軍的觀感是不會消失的。

“We did it to ourselves,” he said.
「我們自找的，」他說。

Hinch and Astros’ general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for one year by
Manfred, then fired by Astros owner Jim Crane. Alex Cora, then the Astros’
bench coach, was fired as manager of the Boston Red Sox. Carlos Beltran, thenan Astros’ veteran player, was fired as manager of the New York Mets.
Hinch跟太空人總管Jeff Luhnow被主席Manfred水桶一年，之後就被太空人老闆Jim Crane給開除了。原本紅襪教練Alex Cora那時是太空人的板凳教練，也被開除。梅子總教練
Carlos Beltran那時是太空人老將也被開除。

In his first interview since then, Hinch suggested the question of whether
the Astros’ title was tainted might diminish over time, and with the
continued excellence of such stars as Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman.
在此事件後Hinch首度接受訪問，他認為太空人的冠軍純度不純的問題在太空人原本球星Jose Altuve跟Alex Bregman持續表現高檔下，可能會隨時間淡去。

“I hope over time, it’s proven that it wasn’t,” Hinch said. “But I
understand the question. It’s a fair question. And people are going to have
to draw their own conclusions.
「我希望隨著時間過去，一切會證明那不是問題，」Hinch說。「但是我了解大家會有疑問，有這樣的疑問合理。大家都可以有自己的論點。」

“Unfortunately, we opened that door, as a group. That question may never be
answered. We may never know. We’re going to have to live and move forward
and be better in the sport. Unfortunately, no one can really answer that
question. I can’t pinpoint the advantages, or what exactly would have
happened otherwise.
「很不幸地，我們大家一起做了那樣的決定。這問題可能永遠不會有答案，我們可能永遠不會知道，我們得要繼續走下去，在比賽時表現更好。很不幸地，沒人可以回答那個問
題，我沒辦法點出我們有多了甚麼樣的優勢，或者若是當時不那樣做的話，結果會怎樣改變。」

“But we did it to ourselves.”
「但是這一切是我們自找的。」
