Some Baseball terms I need translated to spanish, if possible...

Question

I am working on translating a news article from my college newspaper and this quote is really giving me trouble... (doesn't help that, even in English, it's an awful sentence)

"I think if we just stay in our normal game plan, try to play pressure offence, steal bases, bunt, and hit a lot of balls hard, I think that will give us a good chance," DeBiasse said. "Like always, it comes down to who can adjust best."

This is my attempt, but I am certain it's horrendously bad.

“Pienso que si nos quedamos con el plan normal de los juegos, intentamos jugar la ofensa de la presión, robamos las bases, (this site says 'hincharse' for bunt?), y golpeamos la pelota muy fuerte, pienso que nos daría una buena oportunidad,” Debiasse dijo. “Como siempre, dependiente quien se adaptan mejor.

Help!!!

Answer 1

Hincharse doesn't seem correct to me. And if you have a look at the dictionary one more time:

2. (Baseball) Golpear la pelota con la maza de una manera especial.

I have searched a little and haven't been able to find a word for it. So, maybe they also call it bunt. Because in Italian it's bunt.

But I also found this:

bunt (n.)

toque de bola, toque, toquecito; The act of hitting a baseball lightly without swinging the bat.

Your paragraph seems correct except that last sentence:

"Like always, it comes down to who can adjust best."

I'd say:

"Como siempre, se trata de quién se ajuste mejor."

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks!! - liz_ellis, May 18, 2011
