Chapter 157 – Chapter 155. New Director’s Debut! (3)
“Hey! Ji Maeng-ho! Where are you going?”
At the end of the first inning, when I was about to put on my equipment and walk to the plate, Suho Kim called me.
“Yes? At-bat?”
“Are you out of your mind? You are number two today.”
“Oh right.”
Did the lineup change today? I think I got too used to the first time because I kept playing only once. Is this what muscle memory is? Since he wasn’t conscious, his body naturally went to the plate. This tenacity toward hitting the plate even unconsciously. I was scared too
‘It’s just that I haven’t been concentrating.’
I ignored Rossby’s ridiculous tackle and went to the standby plate. It’s a waiting at-bat from the first episode, so it’s something new. I liked this one too. If I went in as the lead batter in the first inning, I lost a lot because I didn’t get many pitches.
No matter how much you watch old videos with power analysis, the pitcher’s ball changes depending on the condition of the day. It was good to see the timing with my own eyes.
‘Then why did they suddenly change the batting order?’
I don’t know if he’s trying to refresh the atmosphere or what he’s thinking, but coach Lee Soo-hyun changed his batting order as soon as he took office. What I saw was the top batting order and the cleanup trio. The bottom batting order sometimes changed, but it was something new because it was fixed from number 1 to number 6.
-AT Thunders! Batting number 1, Kim~ Suho!
The table setter that starts with Suho Kim and leads to me. It seems that I made this batting order because I have slugging power and Kim Soo-ho has a good on-base percentage, so I raised Choi Jin-cheol to 4 and lowered the bore to 5. It seemed that he was conscious of Bohr’s score in scoring position not being good.
It is natural to adjust the batting order as Boer cuts off the pulse at each scoring position. Personally, I thought it would be nice to lower the bore more and raise the right tube type, but it seemed that the cleanup was not going to raise it because the right tube type was old.
– Blow a hit! AT Kim! Number! Like! Hit and blow! A! T! Seaweed! Number! Like! Blow it up, blow it up, blow it up, blow it up! AT Kim Soo-ho!
Kim Suho’s cheering song resonates loudly today as well. While Woo Kwan-hyung was sluggish, he led the AT line and struggled, so Kim Su-ho’s cheering song was always loud. And Kim Soo-ho’s cheering song always resonated almost to the end.
“Base on Balls!”
The reason is, of course, Kim Soo-ho’s batting style, which takes care of at least 4 balls.
‘Your fastball is in the mid-to-high 140s, you didn’t throw a slider, and your curveball is a bit poor? Is it because it’s the 1st episode?’
And thanks to Kim Soo-ho’s batting style, I was able to see the ball enough. Hmm…. His strong point is his changeup, but he didn’t throw a changeup when playing against Kim Soo-ho. What’s wrong with sealing a changeup against lefties?
What did you say during the power analysis… ?
-‘Baek In-hyeok is right-handed orthodox. Everyone knows Last year we didn’t do well against Baek Hyuk, do you know why? Yes, as Kwan-hyung said, Baek In-hyeok’s changeup has improved to a high level since last year. But put it all in your head that it’s hard to get good results if you’re conscious of the changeup, and go to bat, okay? I mean, be conscious, but don’t pay attention.’
I am reminded of what the director said in today’s power analysis. I don’t know what it is to be conscious but not paying attention, but because I had an emotional feeling, I knew what the director was asking for.
“Hello.”
“…….”
Is it because you suffered a lot from me yesterday? They don’t even greet you at all. Well, it wasn’t new since not accepting the referee was a daily routine, but it was funny that the catcher kept his mouth shut after muttering something yesterday.
‘Well, that’s what happened to me yesterday. It won’t be easy to brush your mouth again.’
Shake the pitcher with a stolen base, and hit 3 RBIs in a timely manner. The catcher was tired of it. Hmm…. Shall we shake it up a bit?
“You could see the ball combination yesterday, but did you change it today?”
“…….”
The sound of the gunner’s face turning red could be heard from here. He was curious about the catcher’s expression, but he decided to put up with it because seeing the catcher at bat is taboo in the baseball world.
‘Fastball, low.’
“Hmm, is that a fastball?”
“Strike!”
“Didn’t you hit it if you knew?”
“Ah, if you wait a bit, a better ball will come, so why am I hitting ithaha, don’t you know that too?”
“This bastard….”
Baby, I’m very angry. His fastball didn’t look much different from what he saw from the outside. I was a little upset that he caught the low ball, but it was still my first at-bat, so I wasn’t sure where the referee’s strike zone range was.
‘Slider, outside.’
“Are you going to throw a slider? I have to take it. Obvious, obvious.”
From the moment the pitcher catches the ball and takes a set position, until the ball enters the mitt, he presses his words like a rapper.
“Cheek.”
“Wow, that was a real slider.”
“Shut your mouth and do it.”
“Ah, we’re not even enemies, but we can talk a little bit.”
Ball mixing takes longer. I see a little trouble.
“The curve was not good earlier. Is it fastball today? I’ll just hit it when it gets in the zone.”
‘Curve. Low’
“You wouldn’t throw a curveball for saying this, right? Well, how did you become a professional with such a ball combination? Right?”
“Cheek.”
“Oh fuck! What are you doing?”
“Oh, sorry. It’s a habit to talk to yourself. But don’t swear, right?”
“Is this kid crazy? Did you eat cheap rice? Let’s go quietly.”
‘Fastball, inside. Be careful.’
I just scrape it off, so I attach it to my body right away.
“You wouldn’t throw threats by sticking it on your body for something like this, would you? It really doesn’t look like that.”
The pitcher has a grip, but his pitching motion is not. Change your signature? Well, if you hit it four times in a row, you’ll break your head, right? Even thinking about stealing the sign, I couldn’t help but wonder if the runner was on first base and the catcher was really obvious.
In addition, the catcher is a position that creatures are proud of. If there is a class in baseball, the catcher’s class is a slave class that everyone avoids. It was a position that could not be achieved without the pride of dominating the game with the ball. Being read by such catchers is a situation I hate more than dying.
‘Changeup. Outside.’
Throwing a changeup outside means pretending to go outside and coming inside to catch a strike. Since it was a two-ball, one-strike situation, it meant that I would throw it across the border line and throw it into the zone as much as possible.
‘Good? It also allows me to see my changeup.’
Just by provoking the catcher, you can see the changeup you’ve been hiding. Could this be good value for money?
“If I hit it, it really runs.”
Just in case, I planted in the catcher’s mind that I was conscious of the inside ball. There are many more games left to win besides this at-bat. The pitcher takes set position. And sprinkles his vaunted changeup.
Right!
– Wow!
The ball passed the second baseman’s height and landed in front of the right fielder. Kim Soo-ho, who was a runner on first base, even reached second base. He got hits, but he wasn’t particularly happy with them.
‘Fuck, what’s the name?’
I managed to fit it, but it went farther out than I thought. If it was the changeup seen in the video, it should have rolled inside, but there was no such feeling. Is this why you sealed your changeup? If I had known it would be like this, I thought I would have endured it.
But I suddenly thought that scratching the catcher like this wasn’t bad. JT’s battery didn’t seem to have any intention of throwing a changeup today, but since I was talking about being conscious of the inside ball and turned the outside changeup into a hit, it seemed quite burdensome to throw a changeup today.
‘Is your head spinning? Now, it seems that the level of humanoids has risen.’
‘Ah, I’ve been playing baseball for 10 years. I think about this much.’
Besides, I was pretty smart in the baseball club in the first place. It’s because Rossby doesn’t believe it.
“It was good. Fierce tiger What did you hit?”
“It’s a changeup. But, is the change weaker than expected? My changeup is so bad today. I think there is a reason why I didn’t throw it at Suho sunbaenim. At this level, it would be difficult for a left-handed hitter to win?”
“Okay, got it.”
I told the first base coach who approached me what I felt at bat.
-Try 3 times! Ki~! Resident!
– Wow!
And the situation of 1st and 2nd base unscathed. When the weatherman entered the batter’s box, cheers rang out enough for Jamsil to leave. It wasn’t like this yesterday, but I don’t know if it was because we won yesterday or because it was the first day the manager changed, but the heat in Jamsil today was great.
And the match between the batter and the pitcher started to ignite as much as the heat in Jamsil, and Ki Sang-joo swung the bat at the full count.
Widely!
‘It’s fucked up!’
Ground ball from the sound. I quickly ran to second base.
“First!”
“Out!”
Fortunately, I and Kim Soo-ho, runners, were able to survive due to the slow batting speed, but Ki Sang-joo, who was a batter runner, was out. Musa 1st and 2nd base became 1 company 2nd and 3rd base. Still, the situation is better than before for scoring. If it is not a grounder in front of the pitcher or a shallow outfield fly, it is a situation where one run is scored. Choi Jin-cheol came to the plate.
‘Jincheol-ah, try blowing one!’
“Base on Balls!”
But JT’s battery did not go easily. Thorough outside competition. From yesterday, the strategy to thoroughly drive Boer into scoring was visible. 1 company full base. The hitter bore down to number 5.
‘Under…. If so, would 1st or 2nd base be better? I have to see it, I don’t even expect to get a hit, so let’s hit just one fly in the outfield!’
Please… !
Right! Direction to rise higher. Resounding shouts and sighs.
– Wow!
-Ah…….
Shouts from the third base side, sighs from the first base side. As Boer’s batted ball flew high in the infield, the shortstop comfortably caught the ball. Now, Woo Kwan-hyung has entered the 2nd company with full bases.
‘… If I can’t hit here, I’ll go overboard, right?’
‘Do you have a baseball one-to-day? Of course.’
The 1st and 2nd bases were changed to 2nd and 2nd base. If he failed to score even one point here, of course Baek In-hyeok’s momentum would rise, and there was a high possibility that Jansson, who had been expecting so much, would fall back to the ground. That means the chances of losing the game increase.
I haven’t noticed a difference since I’ve been on a losing streak lately, but I realized something when I had sex with So-young after winning yesterday. When Soyoung wins a match, she becomes more sexy and active. Today, I want to taste the active Soyoung. And today is So-young’s newly recruited manager’s first game. Just imagining it made my mouth water. So I wanted to win!
‘Fuck, what was the cause of death?’
Was your fastball two fingers? There were three change balls. That’s right… ?
‘Mr. Rossby. What about the cause of death?’
‘Yes? Why? Do you want to steal?’
‘No. I’m at second base, and if I want to win, I have to play as hard as I can.’
‘Once, it was a fastball.’
Two fingers on a fastball. I subtly placed two of my fingers on my lap for Woo-gwan to see.
‘…… ?’
Woo-gwan and his eyes meet. I turned my eyes and looked down. I mean look at my knees. Fortunately, I look at the finger on my lap according to my intention to see if Woo-gwan-hyung has not yet suffered from presbyopia.
Please trust me
Woo-gwan-hyung’s expression of dubious doubt. Since JT wrote a new signature from this week, power analysts said that JT’s signature was uncertain, so Kwan-hyung Woo didn’t seem to believe in my signature.
‘Trust me!’
“Cheek.”
The fastball is sucked into the catcher’s mitt. Fortunately, the referee’s decision was to ball. However, because I was hit once, I felt that the way Woo Kwan hyung looked at me had changed.
‘Curve.’
‘OK.’
When I put three fingers on my knee, Kwan-hyung Woo trusted me and caught the breaking ball. See the results. If it’s two, Woo Kwan-hyung will be convinced now, right? There is a big difference between believing and gaining conviction, and baseball determines whether that difference is a hit or a hit. It is baseball that changes even by 0.1 second or 0.1 cm, and this difference was enormous.
‘Change ball.’
“Cheek.”
Baek In-hyeok was cornered in a three-ball situation, and he had to put it in the zone unconditionally. From there, JT’s battery chose the fastball that the pitcher throws the most and has the most confidence in.
‘Fastball.’
‘I get it.’
The feeling of hearing each other’s hearts. Woo Kwan-hyung’s confident swing split the ball thrown by the pitcher like a thunderbolt.
Ta-evil!
Light hitting sound, batting ball that flies like a clothesline. The direction is the right wall. Result….
-Wow!!!!!
– Woo-gwan hyung! Right-handed! Right-handed!
Grand home run. Jamsil was filled with cheers.
“Wow! Kwan-hyung hyung, have you rejuvenated? What are you taking these days? What is it from yesterday?”
“Senior Kwanhyung, I’m tired!”
“Bitch, what’s wrong with being bored?”
“Thank you, Mr. Right.”
And the dugout was just as hot as the spectators. He only gave up 3 runs in the first inning, but he turned around in the next attack, so he had to keep warm.
And my cock seemed to heat up with anticipation of what kind of rice cake Soyoung would show me today.
