Chapter 156 – Episode 154. New Director’s Debut! (2)

-[AT Thunders] Rookie director Lee Soo-hyun’s bold aspirations!
…… The new manager of AT Thunders, Lee Soo-hyun, expressed his strong aspirations to make AT Thunders a strong team again and lead them to their prime………
Oh Soo-hyun! Why are you here now!
Wow… I finally became a director. He was in tears when he was kicked off the team
Are you kidding me?
No see that? It’s wrong
You’re not kicked out of the team, are you going to escape? Lee Soo-hyun and Hyun-seong did betterhaha
He’s the one who made the Tal-et effect, of course.

-Maengho Ji, the rookie of the spirit, what is the secret to the number one home run?
Wow, that muscle sucks.
You can see how he gently asks the woman to touch him. Is that the life of an alpha male?
Do you think Ji Maeng-ho is like you? How many girls would you like to meet?

-Body ball? Throw it if you can. I can’t stand it either.
………… He replied that he would do the same thing when he threw a beanball in the future, and it became a hot topic among fans. …………
ㄴHonestly, if it was really cool, ㅋ!
ㄴㄴ That team is at the level of a fanhahaThen we have nothing to say even if we slap Woo Kwan-hyung on the face, right?
ㄴㄴㅇㅇ Please soak it, don’t look at it.
B Since the fucking kids are young, they stay still even if the senior hits them. It’s a good thing after throwing all the veterans away.
Are you the one who was released by any chance? The rebuild is going well.
ㄴIf you do it with our team, I really can’t stand ithaha

-Wonhyung Lee? Who is it? Cheeky rookie who lost his partner spirit
………… Even the minimum courtesy towards people in the same industry……. Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho is controversial because he said he has no plans to visit the hospital in the future. …………
ㄴLet’s see the trashy headlines. I just can’t remember the name, but it’s a fabrication
Is it Pacton? Where are you wrong?
ㄴ Fuck this bastard, if you have a real game next time, soak it
ㄴ Wow, I get pissed off too, but how pissed off are volcano fans?
ㄴReal personality ㅅㅅ
A player like this will not receive it even if you give it.
If you tell the team that the second baseman with the first place in home runs is coming to the team at 40%, they bow and accept it, right? I’m envious, so I’m cursinghaha
ㅇㅇㄱㅇ
Hey guys shh. Ji Maeng-ho proves it with a home run.

-Hello AT Thunders front desk staff. Sending e-mails is difficult.
Sender: This is AT Chinfan.
……… No matter how bad our current team is, do we really need to use such a violent player with no manners? No matter how good Ji Maeng-ho is, I think there is a problem in immediately appointing a player without internal discipline. What will a young player learn from this incident? Is AT Thunders such a disrespectful and ignorant club? ……… (Shorthand)………

Click. After the absurd email, Soyoung turned off all the Internet windows she was looking at. Of course, I turned off the internet not because of this e-mail, but because it was time for the game to begin, but I couldn’t help but feel my head pounding.

‘Oh, it’s the head.’

So-Young didn’t like the fact that the director ran away and that such emails were piling up due to Maeng-Ho’s bombshell interview.

‘Then, did you guys find a second baseman the size of Ji Maeng-ho?’

Ji Maeng-ho’s current performance is 0.429/0.559/1.024/1.583, and he hasn’t even hit 60 yet, but he has gone beyond the MVP level and blows up the league. Apart from the fact that he loves Fierce Tiger, it was disqualification as a front desk to not use a player with such a record.

“Chief, are you okay?”

An employee from the operation team approaches So-young and asks how she is doing.

“Yes. It’s okay.”

The same cold tone as usual, but the staff did not give in and continued to talk.

“I want you to hold my head. Have you read the article?”

“Yes.”

Haha, Ji Maeng-ho is a bit hot, right? Director Lee Soo-hyun’s article is also buried. We are good It’s better to have one player tank than the coach running away and this kind of issue.”

“…….”

Soyoung’s face grew even colder at the employee’s words. However, it was only natural that anyone who didn’t know So-young would not notice the difference, since she had a cold impression anyway, and the staff in the operation team also couldn’t notice her cold expression.

“But Ji Maeng-ho, wouldn’t he need some education? Oh yeah. Even if it ruins the image of the club, it is still oily. How do we proceed with character education separately? Well, there is a sense that baseball players are a little unlearned. Oh yeah…. And how wild they are during salary negotiations.”

“Chief Kim.”

“Yes?”

“Do what you have to do. Because your salary is what the players earn.”

“… Sorry.”

“This is the only warning. Be careful with your words. And don’t bring out anything other than work.”

“……. Sorry.”

I just want to lighten up a bit…. Manager Kim, who couldn’t overcome the urge to talk to a third-generation conglomerate, a woman so pretty and young that her eyes were spinning, did not know at this time that her path to promotion was blocked.

And with Manager Kim’s words, the atmosphere in the management team became chilly. However, the chilled atmosphere and the reason why the staff of the operation team can’t leave work even after 6 o’clock. It was because there was a new director’s debut today.

Of course, the staff at the front desk came to work a little later than ordinary office workers, but there were few cases where everyone gathered together to watch the game. It’s because I keep my seat in rotation if possible.

As such, today’s game was an important game for AT’s frontmen.

‘Ha, Maeng-Ho Ji. I was embarrassed for nothing. You bastard, just try not to play today.’

Just as that man’s curse was dissipating into nothingness, the AT Thunders’ match began.

*

“Hi, Mr. Why do my ears tickle?”

“What?”

“Hyung, did you curse at me?”

“What kind of bullshit is that all of a sudden?”

“My dear, then who are you? Who do you think cursed?”

“There are one or two people who will curse you. Stay focused.”

Concentration…. I need to focus. Today’s selection is Janson. He’s a proud mercenary pitcher on our team, pitching in three games and giving up 12 runs in 16 innings with a 6.75 earned run average!

Besides, this cub is a terrible grounder, so it was a problem for the ball to come to the infielder.

‘Still, will it be a little different today?’

In fact, shortstop Kang Hee-seok, who played in Jansson’s games before that, was not a player with a wide range of defense. Well, the quality of his glove and the accuracy of his throwing were better than mine, but his shoulder and defensive range were not so good, so his compatibility with Jansson was the worst.

However, since Yoon Seong-tae has a fairly wide range of defense and a good arm, I had hopeful thoughts that Jansson would show a different side of himself.

‘Well, if today doesn’t work, I’ll have to pack my things.’

Jansson knew that too, so he had a look of tension on his face from today’s training.

“Play ball!”

The match started with the referee’s signal.

‘Jansson, do your best!’

Right!

Fuck! It’s on my side The batted ball rolls between 1st and 2nd base. I quickly ran to first base and dived. It feels like the ball is caught in the glove. I quickly closed the glove, but the ball ate a lot of spin and bounced off the glove.

I got up with my right hand on the infield and looked for the ball, but the ball hit the glove and bounced was nowhere to be seen.

“Next! My side!”

Hearing Seong-Tae Yoon’s words, he looked for the ball on the second base side, but JT’s first batter was already on the verge of reaching the base. He couldn’t throw the ball.

“Oops. It was a waste.”

“Hey, I followed that. I thought you were falling.”

“Sorry. I should have caught it.”

Ha. The first hitter was aiming for the first ball, but such an ambiguous ball. When I glanced at Janson on the mound, my pupils were shaking.

“Sorry, sorry!”

“[It’s okay. Catch me next time.]”

You say you’re okay with your mouth, but you don’t look okay on the inside? Oh shit. When you play against Janson, you are always so unlucky.

And when this unlucky situation came out, Janson’s pattern was the same.

“Cheek.”

“Cheek.”

“Cheek.”

“S-trike!”

“Base on ball!”

Now, 1st and 2nd base. It’s not good to go comfortably today. In the situation of 1st and 2nd base safely, Jang Hyun-ho, the third hitter, enters the at-bat. Jang Hyun-ho’s performance yesterday was no hits in 4 at-bats. The only thing left now is to pray that Jang Hyun-ho’s hitting feeling will be the same as yesterday.

“Now! Let’s go slowly. Hey, Janson! Dark down! Slow, slow! OK?”

“OK.”

Choi Jin-cheol encouraged Jansson from first base, but Jansson’s voice was crawling through the ground. And baseball is a sport of momentum. When an anxious momentum is exposed, a bad ending always awaits.

Ta-evil!

– Wow!

“Wow, Hyeon-ho Ham, batted ball crazy.”

Along with Yun Seong-tae’s murmur, Jang Hyun-ho’s season 5 home run was decorated with three runs.

“Hey! Gather in the infield!”

And to break the bad flow, Jung Yun-cheol summoned the infield team.

“Tsk, did you know that Janson’s ball power changes depending on his mood? As you all know from watching during training, I’m not a kid who can’t throw. Let’s make the pitcher feel more comfortable.”

Is this attacking me? Fuck. There was nothing to say because the ball spilled.

“… Sorry.”

I just have to say I’m sorry

“No, no. If you just followed along, you did well. Looking at Kwan-hyung’s shoulders, he could have given second base? Anyway, let’s pretend we’ve just started the game and let’s do our best from the beginning, okay? Janson, it would be nice if he only showed half of himself during practice. Tsk.”

When Jeong Yoon-chul spoke to us before the interpreter came up, Jansson looked very curious, probably because his name came up a lot.

“[What are you saying?]”

“[Janson, think it’s your first time and do well. Okay?]”

“[I get it.]”

“Oh, fierce tiger, do you speak English? Well, I even said something to Director Sans. I’m sure kids these days are smart. We didn’t even have time to learn English.”

“Dude, even when I went to Australia, I was just talking to myself.”

“I’m a student studying in the US.”

“Study Abroad? You?”

“I’m studying abroad in Miami for a week.”

“Oh, WBC?”

“Crazy bastard.”

Well, is it a success? Seeing that Kim Soo-ho also ate, does it seem like he succeeded? Fortunately, my joke seemed to ease the mood of the players except for Jansson.

“What shall I say?”

“Tell Janson to go slowly, from the beginning. It’s only about 3 runs because hitters can easily score it? Are you all confident?”

“Absolutely.”

“Yes, Maengho. You must hit a home run Because I made one mistake.”

You said you did well just by following along…. After all, if I had caught that ball, the atmosphere in the first episode would have been different. It was a little regretful.

“[He said don’t worry, batters are going to score.]”

“[Okay, okay. I’m fine, so please tell me not to mind.]”

“Jansson is fine.”

“Great. So, let’s get back together and go. Invincibility!”

“AT!”

*

[Fortunately, Jansson finds the original pace. Batter 4, Jansson strikes out William Bell.]

[Park Dae-hyuk’s hits! JT doesn’t miss the momentum. Now 1 company 1 base!]

[Youngjae Ryu’s batted ball! Infield, infield! Get out! Both the second baseman and shortstop threw their bodies, but they couldn’t catch it! 1 company creates opportunities for 1st and 2nd base!]

[Now batting number 7, shortstop Baek Min-seok steps in. Baek Min-seok’s first ball hit! This batted ball goes to second base, second base! Ji Maeng-ho catches it this time! Calmly through shortstop, to first base! 4-6-3 double play! End of the inning! Pass the hump. Janson, who finished the first inning, gave up three runs, but no more runs. Now we will return to AT Thunders’ attack at the end of the first inning.]

-Wow, I thought I was going to be fucked today.
Get rid of Janson
ㄴIt’s such a pity that that bastard is eating team slots because he’s a mercenary.

-It’s a pity that I scored 3 points against Jansson in the first inning.
ㄴㅇㅋ Everyone else is a herbalist, but I need to pick this up.

-Look at how Ji Maeng-ho made a mistake after licking that bastard’s mouth.
A mistake? I’m glad I got it, I don’t know
Yes, if it was another Park Chul-young, you would have been saved, right?
Then suck Shinrana bitch

-Kyaa, Jang Hyeon-ho is completely blown uphahaThe escape effect is over.
Why has this good hitter never hit 20 homers? Season 40 home run paysonhaha
ㄴIf the second Choi Jin-cheol was born, let’s do ithaha
ㄴThe original escape effect, maybe it’s because I got Lee Soo-hyun’s energy, so I hit a home run.

-But our lineup has changed? Isn’t Ji Maeng-ho number 1?
ㅇㅇ changed
Nnha, why the fuck are you messing with a kid who is doing well? He doesn’t change batting order when he’s hitting well.
ㄴㄴㅋ It’s like erasing the color of Sans.
No, but you’re good at it, so you’re in last place? Lee Soo-hyun knows baseball better than you, so shut up and see
