Chapter 153 – Episode 151. New Wind. (4)

“Because it’s okay to die running. Run.”

Bottom of the third inning, two-out situation. The first base coach whispers. If you say it’s okay to die while running, you probably mean it because you like the waiting at-bat, right? In the words of the coach, there was a meaning that it did not matter even if I died, as it was the other line leading to Kim Su-ho and Gi Sang-joo from the next inning.

“You run and you die. Did you see me die?”

“Did you die once before the volcano?”

“That’s because he blocked the base.”

I’m bringing that up. Suddenly angry

Anyway, I had no intention of dying. He failed to break Park Jeong-seop’s poker face with a blow, but he still wanted to give him a shot, so he intended to annoy Park Jeong-seop as much as possible.

‘Since I’m a right-hander, should I bother you at third base?’

‘Do I have the confidence to go all the way to third base?’

‘As long as Mr. A. Rossby helps. What.’

I couldn’t stop it on the international stage, but there was no way KBA could stop me. I died running before the volcano, but that wasn’t my problem.

‘Sweet, thinking about it makes me angry. I should have made the season out.’

‘Fastball, outside. There is also a pitch-out feeling.’

‘Old story!’

Feel like pitching out? Then buy it for now.

“Cheek.”

The ball went quite far outside. It’s not a pitch-out, but it feels like it’s holding me in check. Jeongseop Park… , It was expressionless, but it was conscious of me. Shit, that’s it

‘Fastball.’

Checks are flying In the fastball situation, he didn’t want to run, so he quickly slid to first base.

“Safe.”

The result is, of course, safe. It was only natural that he would not be able to focus on the match against the batter if he continued to care about me, and since my next hitter, Kim Su-ho, was not a hot bari, it was only natural that the more I annoyed the pitcher, the higher the chances of scoring.

“Cheek.”

“Safe!”

“Safe!”

“Cheek.”

Park Jung-seop checked me to see if he was still aware of me, and pulled the ball outward, resulting in a three-ball situation.

‘Should I throw a strike now? It’s because it’s the same whether I steal base and go to second base or walk to second base. Jung Subah. Throw a strike Preferably with a breaking ball.’

Since I threw fastballs continuously, the timing of the breaking ball is good, but it is ambiguous because it is a three-ball situation.

‘It’s a fastball. Body side.’

In the end, Park Jeong-seop’s choice was the inside fastball. But maybe it was because he didn’t put it into the strike zone consecutively, the fourth ball thrown by Park Jeong-seop missed the strike zone.

“Base on Balls!”

Tsk, focus on batting matches. You care about me for nothing In this case, 2 out 1st and 2nd base. The batter is a meteorologist.

‘It’s run 2, are you going to stay still?’

‘No.’

I could see that the battery was conscious of me, but there was no reason not to run. Today’s game is Game 1, where it was necessary to play with the catcher’s spirit.

‘I’ll jump right away if the next pitch is a breaking ball.’

*

[Now JT’s battery cares too much about runners, right? A straight walk comes out.]

[In fact, Ji Maeng-ho is a very fast player that doesn’t match his big size. This season, five stolen bases and one failure are showing the ability to steal bases.]

[Ji Maeng-ho, his athletic ability is amazing?]

[From what I’ve heard, the national team has been evaluated as the best in athletic ability alone.]

[Well, that’s why it caught the eye of director Lee Geum-hwan, right?]

[Yes. Usually, you have to show a good figure during training so that you can seize the opportunity when the main player leaves.]

[Now at bat. This season he is batting .340 with three home runs and 19 RBIs. Today’s game is no-hit in one at-bat.]

[The fans watching this game and the players in the ground will pay attention to this at-bat, even if there is no explanation about the player. .]

[Uh, uh! Ji Maeng-ho! Ran! Running towards 3rd base. Han Jeong-hyeok throws to third base! At third base! Three leaves from third base! Ji Maeng-ho perfectly took out the timing of the battery!]

[Wow, you can play second base too? It’s really great speed.]

‘Ha, fuck.’

When Ji Maeng-ho stole third base, Park Jeong-seop sweared inwardly.

‘So let’s compete with the fastball.’

However, he had already given up a walk after throwing only a fastball due to his stubbornness. He couldn’t resist the sign the catcher gave out.

“Now! Let’s play the batter, there’s only one left anyway!”

The catcher gives a sneaky look. You just have to catch one out, but the meaning of why you are so scared is conveyed intact.

‘If this is the case, I’d rather play against a weaker borer in scoring position….’

Park Jeong-seop secretly threw a sign on the intentional ball to the catcher, but the catcher immediately refused and sent his own sign. Park Jeong-seop could only nod his head at the sign the catcher gave.

‘Yeah, even Ji Maeng-ho can’t run all the way home. It’s two out, so let’s throw with all our might.’

When he was doing the windup, right-hander Park Jeong-seop caught the eye of third base runner Ji Maeng-ho.

‘What, what is it?’

[Uh, uh! Ji Maeng-ho! They hold the lead by a third. Park Jeong-seop threw the ball, the ball!]

In an instant, Park Jeong-seop’s mentality shook, and the ball flew toward the right-handed hitter’s head. A pitch that could have been a dead ball if the weatherman had been a right-handed hitter. Cold sweat ran down Park Jeong-seop’s back.

[Wow! Are you really strong-hearted? How can it come out like that? Right now, Ji Maeng-ho continues to disturb the pitcher’s mind. Do I run do I run I am sending a message.]

[Are you really planning to do homesteel?]

Haha, I don’t think so. However, each of those movements is very helpful for the team, right?]

‘This bastard is fucking giggling.’

Park Jeong-seop’s poker face began to distort.

*

‘Hey, hey! Are you really going to run?’

The meteorologist at the plate sends his eyes.

‘Senior, why are you acting like an amateur? Of course it’s an afterthought.’

Should I do home stealing because I’m crazy? Now was not the time to homesteal at all. Even the batter is a meteorologist. Because he was one of the few hitters on this team that I recognized.

‘It’s a big deal. You’re acknowledging someone else.’

‘What do you mean by that? I admit people I would admit.’

There are only four seniors on this team that I acknowledge. Ki Sang Joo, Kwan Hyung Woo, Soo Ho Kim, and Jin Chul Choi.

Ki Sang-joo and Choi Jin-cheol were batters who had been in charge of the air in the major leagues, and Kwan-hyeong Woo was a hitter who left a big mark in the KBA with thorough self-management that even Rosby acknowledged. And Kim Soo-ho felt like a real senior, and he hit his bat well.

‘It smells like containment?’

‘OK.’

At Rossby’s words, I was ready to return to third base at any time. And as soon as Park Jeong-seop made a motion, he returned to third base.

“Safe!”

The result is safe. Our eyes met with Park Jeong-seop, who was in check. A distorted face that was quite different from the expression he saw at the plate.

‘It’s nice to see now.’

The facial expression of pitchers who pretend to be arrogant and lofty on the mound is distorted. Could there be anything better than this? And the fact that the pitcher’s poker face is broken means that he is mentally concentrated. I was confident in my lead width.

‘Try to check the hundred days. Will I get caught?’

“Focus on hitting! Grab one and let’s go!”

The catcher shouted loudly at home plate as if he was aware of the situation, but the pitcher was already shaken. Park Jeong-seop had a windup.

Ta-evil!

And Ki Sang-joo was not a poor hitter who would miss such a chance. Since it was two outs, I ran to the home as soon as I heard the sound, and Bore, who was a standby hitter, gave me a sign to come in slowly.

Looking at the batted ball, it was a long hit that perfectly cut through the middle left. Kim Su-ho was running all the way to third base.

“Good running.”

“Thank you.”

“[As expected, see you at the major later.]”

You’re gonna go crazy After answering Boer’s words with a smile, they entered the dugout and congratulated the players.

“Ah! Ah! Who hit you in the head?”

“The youngest child, just get hit. Well done! Ji Maeng-ho!”

Kim Joo-yeop…. You bastard, you didn’t hit me hard on purpose for murdering the runner, did you?

“Maengho. It was good. It was like watching my playing days.”

“Ah, coach, you look slow at first glance.”

“Bastard. I was flying when I was your age.”

“Yes, yes. You must be.”

And when he scored the first goal, hitting coach Kim Byeong-chul’s face became noticeably more comfortable.

‘Hmm…. This man is not a supervisor either. It’s because the facial expressions change so drastically.’

The basic condition of a good director is a steady facial expression. Kim Byung-cheol was clearly a coaching vessel.

‘I have to tell So-young not to use Kim Byung-chul as a director.’

You can’t work under a manager who can’t even hide his expression. Cancer, no way.
