Chapter 192 – Episode 190. 4 Batsman Ji Maeng-Ho. (One)
“Out!”
“Nice defense!”
“It was an ordinary second land, what.”
“Did you put so much effort into typing number 4, kid?”
“Rather than that, aren’t these guys too lethargic today?”
The volcano’s attack at the beginning of the first episode went smoothly. I can’t believe it’s a team that followed yesterday’s game that was trailing by 5 points, but it feels like the burning desire to win is a little bit off at the attack of the volcano guys?
“The shopkeepers got a lot of swearing on the Internet yesterday.”
“Is it so?”
Yoon Seong-tae covered his mouth with a glove and whispered. I didn’t have time to check the articles or something because I had sex right after the dinner yesterday, but when I saw Yoon Seong-tae talking, it seemed that he had been cursed quite a bit.
“Well, I was just insulted.”
How dare you put me in that situation. It was a situation where I had nothing to say even if I was cursed at.
“Right. To miss the senior coffin twice. If you win, you don’t know, but if you lose, you have to curse.”
“To filter this Ji Maeng-ho over there?”
“… ?”
Why is this hyung suddenly looking stupid? I left Seongtae Yoon, who was making a stupid face, and headed to the dugout. Normally, in this situation, I would have packed my equipment and walked to the waiting table, but maybe it was because I was the 4th hitter, so I had plenty of room.
“Senior, you know how to get on base, right?”
“Yeah, bitch. Do not rush.”
Fearing that today’s No. 1 hitter, Kim Joo-yeop, would be nervous, he energized him and put his butt on the bench.
“Hey, is the youngest supposed to sit on the bench from the first episode?”
“Yes?”
“Bastard. Stand up and cheer.”
“Oh hey, old man.”
“If you really didn’t play baseball, you would have been beaten.”
At the urging of the meteorologist, I leaned against the railing and watched Volcano’s starting pitcher, Fernando, practice pitching.
‘Fernando, came out in 7 games and was 1 win and 4 losses? I think his ERA was in the upper half of the 5 range.’
He was a mercenary guy similar to Janson on our team, but it was hard to say that Hwasan was in 10th place without the influence of that mercenary. Well, that guy might be dissatisfied because he was pitching with Volcano’s defense on his back, but the mercenary’s score in the upper half of the 5-point range was disastrous.
That’s because Jansson has at least thrown in the last two games and brought his ERA down to the early 5s.
‘Well, there and there, but.’
Anyway, both players were unsuitable for the fall baseball team. Hmm… Is the situation worse for Janson, who is even receiving our defense in Jamsil?
‘Well, our team’s defense is still in the upper-middle ranks.’
Catcher Jung Yun-cheol has a stupid ball combination, but he is good at blocking like a veteran. Hot corner Kim Su-ho was a good enough fielder to be selected for the national team. Was
The keystone duo Nana and Yoon Seong-tae are also athletic, so they sometimes make mistakes, but the defense range is wide, so the AT infield is not loose.
The outfielders also had good defense, but other outfielders, including Gi Sang-joo, were also outfielders who had used Jamsil since their birth, so basic fielding was not good. In the first place, if the defense was not good, I couldn’t play the outfield in Jamsil.
‘When I think about it like this, Jansson seems like a real low class. I wish I could change it sooner along with Bohr.’
Due to the nature of the KBA league, a good mercenary must play an active role in order to win, but his heart was frustrated because there was one low-ranking player in each pitcher.
“Kim Joo-yeop fighting!”
I raised my voice with the thought of shaking off my frustration from thinking about the mercenaries with cheering, and Kim Joo-yeop, who played as the number one hitter, responded to my voice.
Right!
“Good first ball hit!”
“Run! Run!”
Kim Joo-yeop’s batted ball landed in front of the center fielder and unfortunately did not reach second base.
“They certainly don’t look like they have any motivation, do they?”
“I did that shit to win yesterday’s game, but if I lose, I’ll take it sweetly.”
“If we lose today, we will probably go into losing streak mode again. Ha, I feel sorry for the volcanoes too.”
I could hear seniors talking in the background. Even in the eyes of the other seniors, the Hwasan guys’ play was not very good.
‘It’s good for me.’
‘There’s nothing more enjoyable than beating a weakling.’
‘What kind of life have you been living? Mr. Rossby.’
It makes me curious about Rosby’s life, but it’s not particularly wrong. He had a good taste in subduing a strong-looking guy, but he also had a taste for beating a weak guy so that he couldn’t stand up any longer.
“Looking at the feeling, it would be nice to build up stats today. Maengho, just get on base. Hyung, I’m in a bit of a hurry because the RBI option is at stake.”
It seemed that Choi Jin-cheol also sniffed their weak smell.
“Excuse me, but I will eat first.”
Right!
Coincidentally, even Kim Soo-ho hit, creating a situation with runners on first and third base. I packed my gear and walked to the waiting at-bat. 4 batting debut… The glorious place I had dreamed of since I was a child was right in front of my eyes. His chest trembled slightly, but a deep breath calmed the trembling in his chest.
‘Huh, let’s have a great fight. It’s my turn soon…’
Like Woo-gwan hyung, cool.
“Cheek.”
‘As expected, nothing special.’
Seeing Fernando’s ball from the waiting at-bat didn’t look much different from seeing it from the dugout. The speed limit is about 144~6km/h. I don’t know where he got a pitcher like that, but I could believe he was a Korean pitcher.
Deep!
The weatherman who picked the first ball lightly hit Fernando’s ball. The Volcano guys seem to have no luck, and the hit ball that was eaten by the weatherman landed in an ambiguous position where the second baseman and right fielder could not catch it. Third base runner Kim Joo-yeop saw the ball and lightly came home.
“Senior, Nice Juru.”
“I don’t know if it’s because I’m a left-handed hitter, but the path is so obvious.”
“All right.”
1st and 2nd base unscathed, plus the bottom of the 1st inning. I was thinking of acknowledging director Hwasan’s karma if he overlooked me in this situation.
“Strike!”
And the director of Hwasan didn’t seem to have that level of knowledge.
‘I came into the strike zone, but this is enough for me to just swing it? What about the next ball, Mr. Rossby?’
‘Curve.’
‘Then I’ll have to filter it.’
The guys in the league who throw slow breaking balls against me in the zone are gone now, so I decided to skip this one.
“Cheek.”
And as expected, the curve fell low and became a ball as it was.
‘Fastball.’
‘Okay.’
I tried to swing it when it came near the zone, but the absurd ball flew and I couldn’t even get the bat out.
And when I saw such a ball, I suddenly became angry. Throwing a ball this low and throwing shit on my debut as the 4th hitter… This is an insult Yes, this was tantamount to racism.
No, this was more racist than the racism that Rossby does.
“I play while receiving money in Korea while throwing such a low-level ball. Senior, as a patriot, I don’t think I can watch it anymore. I’m an enemy, but will you understand?”
“… What are you talking about, you madman?”
He came to the conclusion that as a patriot and as a person for the development of Korean baseball, he could no longer be seen. This low-level mercenary has to go home. The catcher, who did not know the name of the volcano, seemed to fully understand what I was saying.
“I will send you home. Seniors like that too, right?”
“What?”
‘It’s a changeup.’
His changeup starts to fall toward his knee. I already knew it was a changeup, so I watched the breakout until the end. And…
Ta-evil!
As if swinging a golf club, he scooped up his falling changeup. The ball I fired disappeared toward the spectators, cutting through the sky at Jamsil Baseball Stadium where darkness fell.
“Go Home!”
I threw a word at the pitcher who was lowering his head and quickly circled the ground. I don’t know if you can hear the loud cheering for me, but it would be nice if my sincerity was conveyed to him…
“He hits a real home run.”
“Sorry. Senior. I couldn’t stand it.”
“Yeah, well done.”
I shared a high five with the next hitter, Choi Jin-cheol, and also shared a high-five with Ki Sang-joo and Kim Su-ho, who made my RBI. In his first at-bat as the number 4 hitter, he was able to protect Korea’s pride by beating a low-level opponent.

-[KBA] ‘Monster rookie’ Ji Maeng-ho made his debut as the 4th hitter, hitting 1 home run and 4 RBIs! Changing the batting order? Successful!
… AT Thunders rookie hitter Ji Maeng-ho publicized his potential as the number 4 hitter. Maeng-ho Ji, who played as the 4th hitter in the match against the Hwasan Falcons that day, went 4 at-bats, 2 hits, 1 home run and 4 RBIs, contributing to the team’s victory…
ㄴI don’t change the batting order when I’m doing well…
No, you won anyway
ㄴThe lineup is definitely good to see, perhaps because Lee Soo-hyun is from a legendary hitter.
ㄴWhy didn’t Boer come out today? You looked cute.
Are you not an AT fan?
-[KBA] War of words again? Ji Maeng-ho and Fernando argue during the game.
… Fernando (31), a foreign starter for the Volcano Falcons, said he heard insulting words from Maeng-ho Ji, and Maeng-ho Ji (20), who heard this, replied, “Fernando’s skill is an insult to Korean baseball.” …
You? Is this really what Ji Maeng-ho said?
No, no way…
No, I think Maeng-Ho is right.
Haha
ㄴㅅㅁㅎㅅ. There is no car for foreigners…
B Jimen…
So if the two fight, who will win? Fernando is also from South America, so I think we will have a fight haha
I was looking forward to Benkle, but hehe
– [KBA] Ji Maeng-ho, without the starting lineup, because of yesterday’s war of words? Director Lee Soo-hyun “NO!”
… When asked by a reporter why Maeng-Ho Ji was not included in the selection, AT Thunders manager Lee Soo-hyun said, “It has nothing to do with what happened yesterday. Since Ji Maeng-ho is a young player, he was excluded from the lineup for a break, but he can always be a pinch hitter.”
What’s the enemy of this baby volcano? After dipping Lee Won-hyung and throwing it at Baek Doo-hyung, it must have been an accident again.
No, it doesn’t seem like that…
ㄴㅅㅅ I’m a volcano fan, but just looking at that bastard’s face is like fucking
No, that’s an inferiority complex
Shut up.
If you didn’t go on a business trip because you had a fight with Fernando yesterday, you’re a legend. Were there any rookies in Korea who were this young?
ㄴㄴ To be honest, if you look at Maengho Ji’s grades now, it seems like it’ll be okay haha
ㄴㄴㄹㅇ Cheon Beoji is also going to wake up from the hospital after seeing Maengho Ji’s grades ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ To be honest, I don’t think it’s fucking cheap, but I want it in my team haha
ㄴㅋㅋㅋ If it were our team, I would carry it on my back
Did you cheat the AT leader and not bring him? I think it will be sweet because of the T-shirt effect.
-Jimaeng The best soccer player of all time First letter player sts It’s boring… Was there a player like this among Koreans?
ㄴ Jimin Fel haha
I’m sorry
ㄴjimaengme haha
Njimaengson haha
Who is the n-hand suddenly?
-[KBA] AT Thunders, conquering the volcano for 3 days in a row and achieving a sweep series!
… Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho, who took a break that day, did not participate in the game… Meanwhile, the AT Thunders settled for fifth place ahead of the Charlotte Blue Mariners, who were defeated on the day, by one game. …
ㄴI can win even without Maengho ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ All of this is thanks to the spirit of the fierce tiger infused with the energy of victory.
Blah blah blah blah
No Jimin…
It was good that he didn’t come out today. It’s a Venkle atmosphere haha
ㄴㄴIt’s fortunate that our kids endured ㅠㅇI almost got banned in the 6th episodeㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴAs expected, it’s going to start to fall again this year… Whoops.
-Ha, fuckin’ fuckin’ bastards are fucking like dogs. In particular, I really want to break that bastard’s leg, Ji Maeng-ho
ㄴㄹㅇ The 9 bullied clubs don’t even know the subject and are fucking crazy. Seeing that the rookies aren’t cheap, it seems like they know the team.

“Ji Maeng-ho. Why did you do that?”
“… Sorry. He must have been a bit excited because he was the first 4 batters in the pro.”
“Yeah, the next time you uselessly argue with the pitcher, you get a real fine and a special penalty. Okay?”
“… Yes.”
“You won’t do that next time, will you?”
“Yes. I won’t.”
“Okay, let’s work hard.”
That’s how my debut as the 4th hitter ended with manager Lee Soo-hyun’s nagging.
