Chapter 115 – Episode 113. Predictions of Experts.

“Ha, true. When someone you don’t even know comes out as an expert.”

“Sister, why are you so angry?”

When I washed up after sex, So-Young was looking at her cell phone with a very angry face.

“No, that’s ridiculous. Because you come out as an expert and say nonsense.”

“Rather than that, did Joeun go in first?”

“Yes. But rather than that, look at this.”

Mr. Cho said he has to go early tomorrow, so he seems to have gone up first…. He must have gone home, fearing that I would annoy him all night if he slept with me. Anyway, I climbed onto the bed and asked So-young to take her cell phone.

An eye tube channel was playing on So-young’s cellphone, and she had a face that seemed like the female MC who appeared there.

“What iTunes is this?”

“Jia’s baseball tube is a channel run by Joo Hyung-jin’s daughter, and I saw it on the algorithm, but it’s ridiculous to see it.”

Jia’s baseball tube? Ah, at that time, Seungcheol Joo told me to subscribe. It was the face I saw then. Somehow, the face seemed familiar. At that time, she said she wanted to fucking eat it, but the atmosphere got colder.

“Well, I’m getting angry watching this. I will wrinkle your pretty face.”

“Tooth…. I mean….”

By the way, when I kissed So-young’s angry face, the anger seemed to subside a little.

“Sister, stop being angry and wash up. It’s a game tomorrow, but my sister isn’t going to work either.”

“… Yes.”

So-Young, whose anger had subsided, started to walk to her bathroom. Hmm…. Did you push too hard? Still, when she saw this, she thought it was a good choice for her to come home without drinking.

‘What kind of boys and drinks. I’d rather have sex.’

A drinking party without a woman was like hell to me.

‘By the way, what video did you watch that made you so angry?’

She was a little curious. Besides, she was curious because it was a baseball channel run by Joo Seung-chul’s younger brother. I pulled the play bar of the 10-minute video all the way forward.

[Hello! This is Jia’s baseball tube! Subscribers, it’s been hard since there’s no baseball, right? Finally tomorrow! The opening game of the KBA is held. PD! This goes up on Friday, right?]

[Yes, that’s right.]

[Then! To commemorate the opening, we invited a special guest! Commentator Kim Hyung-gi!]

[Hello, this is Kim Hyeong-gi, who is commentating at SBC.]

[And commentator Lee Jong-gun, we have you!]

[Hello, this is Lee Jong-gun.]

[Thank you for coming out to two people who were really difficult to attend.]

[Well, if it’s Jia’s request, I’ll come out.]

[Thank you, Uncle.]

She was the daughter of Joo Hyeong-jin, so she seemed to know the commentators well.

[Then, today’s topic in earnest! 2023 KBA League, what is the ranking that experts think? No see! It’s been a while since we talked about baseball, righthehe.]

[Oh yeah…. I asked you to rank it, so I ranked it, but it is my personal opinion and may be wrong.]

[You’re right. I hope the subscribers will also just watch it for fun. Thank you to the uncles for listening to the unreasonable request.]

Haha, someone is asking, you have to listen.]

[Then let’s get started. Then, shall we check the five teams that can play fall baseball first? What do you think, starting with Commissioner Kim Hyung-ki?]

[First of all, I picked Hyunseong Mad Cats, UG Overlords, Hancheol Grizzlies, Shinra Triggers, and Charlotte Blue Mariners.]

Well…. Well, the clubs to be selected have been selected. Although it is a bit surprising to pick Charlotte, who was ranked 9th last season. Kang Han-beom returned, so I thought it might be.

[Is the order you mentioned ranking?]

Haha, well, you can see that. First of all, Hyun-seong finished 5th last season, but two mercenaries died due to injuries, and a batter mercenary got kicked out due to drugs during the season, so bad news overlapped, right? So the atmosphere in the team was not good. I don’t think it’s a problem to win again if you pick the mercenaries properly this season.]

[Well, Hyeonseong had such bad news. Still, it’s a team that won two consecutive seasons in 2020 and 2021, so it wouldn’t be strange to win this year.]

[And UG, well, last season’s winning team, Hancheol is a strong team that everyone knows, and Shinra Triggers is also a team that I don’t think will fall into fall baseball, right?]

[That’s right. In fact, Hyunseong, UG, Shilla, and Hancheol. I can’t imagine a KBA league where these 4 teams don’t make it to the postseason. Then, you picked Charlotte in 5th place. Is this a statement that was conscious of Charlotte fans?]

[Ah, no. Even though Charlotte finished 9th last season, they are a team with potential. If you look at the players, it’s not strange even if they win.]

[For that matter, the national team…. Oh, sorry.]

[Well, because most of the results last season were bad. But this year, I believe that the existence of a great player named Kang Han-beom will be able to upgrade the team’s level to the next level. Joo Hyung-jin also won Hyun-seong, who had not won a championship for a while, in his return season to the major leagues, right? A player who can change the game. I think Kang Han-beom is also capable enough.]

Well, if it’s a strong criminal, it might be. Kang Han-beom, seen in the national team, was a player who was able to harmonize well with his juniors and had good skills. Well, it didn’t seem like me.

[Then, what do you think, Commissioner Lee Jong-gun?]

[Well, for me, the top 4 teams are similar. I picked UG, Hancheol, Hyunseong, Shilla, and AT Thunders in order.]

[Oh, I guess you expect UG to win? But it has a rather unusual name. AT Thunders?]

[Yes, AT Thunders. I think this year is different. Because the real power has become solid?]

Kim Hyung-ki was taken aback by Lee Jong-gun’s words. If you ask me if this is a surprise…. It seemed like it might be. The AT Thunders have been a team that hasn’t played fall baseball in over 20 years.

[Yes? Commissioner Lee Jong-gun, are you serious?]

[Yeah, actually, AT Thunders hit pretty bad last season, right? The pitching power was average, but the batting held back the AT, and the batting line was completely different this season.]

[Well, that’s right.]

[The weatherman who returned from the major leagues once. Well, you were the best player in Korea when you were in KBA, right? Choi Jin-cheol there. Choi Jin-cheol is a player who won the home run title 4 times, so there is no need to explain. Needless to say, Kim Soo-ho, who played an active part in the national team? Woo Kwan-hyung is also keeping his seat. On top of that, Ji Maeng-ho, who made a splendid debut at the WBC. It is a line that cannot be expected.]

[Well…. But I’m a little bit against it. First of all, I’m going to move on because I’ve proved it at the WBC…. In fact, there was a lot of public opinion that Choi Jin-cheol was overpay, right? Last season’s batting average was 0.230, but you moved to Jamsil, where the stadium is wide? From my point of view, Choi Jin-cheol is also having a hard time. On top of that, Woo Kwan-hyung’s performance is also declining year by year…. Ji Maeng-ho, well, it was shiny at the WBC, but it couldn’t be verified.]

Is this why Soyoung is angry? However, from an objective point of view, this person’s words did not seem wrong. Choi Jin-cheol, seeing that he was drinking on the eve of the opening of the nobleman, I don’t think he’s young….

[Besides, in fact, the average pitching power shouldn’t come out that much while using the wide Jamsil Stadium, right? Isn’t it?]

[Um, is that sohaha, then shall we get off? 6th?]

[Uh! Isn’t that the usual AT Thunders then?]

[That’s right. But I won’t get off. First of all, if the KBA league selects mercenaries well, fall baseball is the league to go to, right? In fact, there is no big difference between the top and bottom teams. It’s just a matter of how many mercenaries to hire. But this mercenary. Robert Bohr. I think you can trust this player.]

[Five… ! Is there any reason you think so?]

[First of all, he is a first baseman and a player with great power. The AT Thunders are dreaming of transforming into a big gun squad by signing Choi Jin-cheol, and you can see him as the perfect player for that. Plus Janson and Bellingham. Are these two players good players? Janson showed good grades last year going back and forth between the majors and triple A, and Bellingham is now in the third year of the KBA league? He’s already a seasoned player. If these three mercenaries do well, I think AT Thunders’ top 5 is enough.]

[Well, that’s right. AT Thunders, if you select mercenaries well, well.]

However, Kim Hyung-ki did not like this explanation either.

‘It’s definitely a bit thick.’

The look on his face asking if he could become a mercenary would make me angry for no reason. Why is this baby tie like this? Have you ever been hit by an AT player?

[Then, let’s decide the ranking below that!]

[Once I saw NV Rex, AT Thunders, JT Gold Eyes, Volcano Falcons, and Future Buffaloes. The reason for putting the future Buffaloes last is that Jinhong Lee got injured in the WBC, right? Traditionally, when Jin-Hong Lee was injured, the future Buffaloes performed poorly. Besides, the time has come for Volcanic Falcons to come up.]

[It’s 9th for that kind of thing?]

[… Sorry to the volcano fans.]

[Then, what about Commissioner Lee Jong-gun?]

[I am similar. I feel like NV, Charlotte, and AT will compete for the top 5, and JT, Mirae, and Hwasan will compete for the bottom ranks.]

[Then, Commissioner Lee Jong-gun, did you think of the 3 out of 4 composition?]

[Yes, that’s right.]

[Oh, that sounds like me. I also thought of a 4 out of 3 weak composition.]

Seeing that both of them thought this, it seemed like a common idea.

[Still, I feel like the future is a little ahead of the volcano? When I saw it at the WBC, Jang Woo-joo’s ball was really good.]

[Oh, Jang Woo-joo. Then, while the words came out, this season’s Rookie of the Year! Can you guess who it will be? Didn’t it make a lot of noise last year that it was an all-time draft?]

[First of all, I think Ji Maeng-ho is the most advanced. Recognition rose because he showed a great figure at the WBC, and technical committee member Joo Hyung-jin praised Maeng-ho Ji, even though he is a person who doesn’t praise others well? I believe in the eyes of senior Hyungjin Joo.]

Hyungjin Joo, it seems that the nobleman praised me a lothehe, maybe it’s because he’s the best player in Korea, so he has eyes to see.

Hehe, Dad is a little stingy with praise. Then, what about Commissioner Hyungki Kim?]

[I’m a little bit like Ji Maeng-ho…. I’m looking at Jang Woo. A fireballer who throws 160, although the WBC showed a bad look to the United States, I don’t think it’s easy to hit that fastball at the KBA league level.]

[Yes? Isn’t Ji Maeng-ho the most advantageous?]

[From what I’ve heard, there’s a bit of a problem with personality, ah…. No. This is a bit overdone, and the swings of Jamsil and Ji Maeng-ho do not match. Wouldn’t it be easy to pass Jamsil?]

“What? What about this sick person?”

Does this bastard have so little eyes for an expert bastard? I was dumbfounded, so I cursed at him through upbringing.

[I honestly think that I was a little lucky in my performance in the WBC. Since I am a rookie, I have nothing to analyze, so I wonder if the pitchers were able to play comfortably and achieve such results. But haven’t you finished analyzing which courses you like and which types of pitches you like?]

Analyze the hundred days. As long as Rossby is there, will I be analyzed?

‘Yes? Mr. Rossby?’

Rossby didn’t answer. Why… ?

‘Ah! Soyeong’s amulet was here.’

Still, I wasn’t particularly worried. It was clear that he was having a good time somewhere.

But are you a little upset? What do you know about me? Is Soyoung upset about this?

[Then Ji Maeng-ho and Jang Woo-joo. Will these two players be strong? Even MVP?]

[This is Joo Seung-cheol.]

[I also look at Joo Seung-cheol.]

[I guess my brother is a bit good at it too?]

[I think 40-40 is possible enough.]

[Injury is a variable, but Joo Seung-chul this season is a player we can’t help but look forward to, right? The growth rate is fierce.]

[Is your brother that tidy? Well, you’ll do fine. Seungcheol Joo.]

After that, Jujia and the two talked about many things, but it seemed like a story I didn’t need to know.

[Then, today, we gathered two experts to find out the predicted performance this season, the rookie of the year, and MVP candidates. If you enjoyed watching, please subscribe and like. Set notifications! Even comments there! Please! See you in the next video! Hi! Ah! And the opening match between Hancheol and AT! It’s embarrassing, but I was selected as the first pitcher, so please come and see it!]

“Wow, but is this the order to get 200,000 subscribers? After all, the face is pretty, is it worth looking at?”

The content was not very good. Do you feel like having 200,000 subscribers is a miracle? It didn’t seem like it was filmed because of the content. If Joo Ji-ah wasn’t pretty, I thought I’d be able to get 30,000 subscribers. At least, Joo Hyung-jin’s daughter, who was a national hero, has a pretty face, so they look down on her at this level.

I wonder if my thoughts were right, except for the video with Joo Seung-cheol, the number of views of baseball videos was atrocious at about 40,000 to 50,000, and the video with the highest number of views was an adult commemorative drinking mukbang with 2 million views.

“Well, who would watch baseball on iTube?”

I turned off the boring baseball iTube and went to the lookbook channel I used to watch often.
