Chapter 196 – Episode 194. 4 Batsman Ji Maeng-Ho. (5)

‘Looks like I’m playing baseball now.’

After the first at-bat, the proper balls started coming in, as if my show of force had worked.

‘Why are you making a proud face after being caught on a fly?’

Even though he backed out on the fly.

‘Still, I liked this method because it worked to some extent. It’s just a fight.’

This time at bat, I was dismissed as a criminal, but in the last at-bat, I hit and scored, so I had some qualifications to like it.

“Coach Jang, maybe Benjamin has come this far, right?”

“Yes, I think so. It’s 6 innings and 3 runs, but there are a lot of pitches, and UG is really good at the bullpen.”

As I was packing my gloves, I heard the manager and the pitching coach talking. If Benjamin ends here, will he come out? UG’s setup man was Jang Dong-hyun, but I had a hunch that Yoon Joong-hwan would probably appear in my at-bat this time as he came out to snip me even during his worm days.

“Now, let’s block the defense once and slowly turn around!”

Right!

“Out!”

Whoa!

“Swing strike! Out!”

Ta-evil!

“Out!”

In the beginning of the 7th inning, UG Overlords’ attack ended with Kim Yun-ho’s three-way attack.

“Yunho, it was good. Is the ball getting better? Is this why people should drink group 1 water?”

“Thank you!”

‘Kim Yun-ho, is this the guy who came with Jang Hyun-ho when he was traded? I heard from So-yeong that she picked him, but So-young has a good eye for players.’

Among our crumbling bullpen, there were two pitchers who stood out. They were Kang Se-ho and Kim Yun-ho, whom So-young had brought in through trade. Kim Yun-ho, who usually throws 150 balls, got lost a bit after joining the first team, but now that he can lightly block one inning in a chase situation, it was very fortunate.

‘5:3. The score difference is enough for Pil Seung-jo to come out, who will he post in UG?’

As I looked at the mound with anticipation, UG’s setup man Jang Dong-hyun stamped out one inning earlier than usual.

‘As expected, if this is the case, he will shoot me with Yoon Joong-hwan again, right?’

“Director, is Jang Dong-hyun coming up?”

“What? Jang Dong-hyun from episode 7?”

“Maybe Jang Dong-hyeon is good at dealing with left-handed hitters, so I think he was thinking of blocking the 7th inning with Jang Dong-hyeon and blocking Maeng-ho or Jin-cheol with Yoon Joong-hwan. After that, I will switch to left-hander Kim Geun-woong.”

“Are you also Director Moon?”

“Certainly, coach Moon is skilled at changing pitchers.”

“Then, let us prepare for the coffin.”

“Yes. Kwan-hyung! Are you ready? It’s a pinch hit.”

“The preparations were already being made.”

And according to the changed pitcher, Woo Kwan-hyung entered the plate as a pinch hitter.

“Senior Coffin, fighting!”

As expected, in this atmosphere, I can’t help cheering.

“Kwan hyung! Get on base!”

“Coffin type? Hey, are you crazy?”

“Hey, how are you? I can’t even hear you.”

“Okay? … Kwan-hyung! Get some hits!”

Just before entering the batter’s box, Woo Kwan-hyung’s gaze turned towards the dugout where we were. I pointed at Lee In-hyuk right next to me.

“Hey! Are you crazy?”

“Then why are you calling me out loud? Whew.”

“Chew…”

Anyway, as if our support had reached him, Woo Kwan-hyung made history by hitting another hit.

“Nice! Let’s reverse it!”

Right!

“Out!”

Right!

“Out!”

Right!

“Out!”

But that was it. At the end of the 7th inning, our attack ended with Woo Kwan-hyung sent to second base, and UG started attacking again at the beginning of the 8th inning. And fortunately, the beginning of the 8th inning went smoothly and the score difference of 5:3 was maintained.

And as expected, at the end of the 8th inning, left-handed pitcher Kim Geun-woong appeared on the mound of UG. Even in the dugout, I felt the idea of ​​finishing our strong left-handed line, number 1, 2, and 3, with Kim Geun-woong.

“Senior Joo-yeop, fighting!”

I tried cheering Kim Joo-yeop, but Kim Joo-yeop’s expression was not very good.

“Ha, I’m weak against Geun-woong.”

I hear Joo-yeop Kim muttering softly.

‘Ttsk, since they’re already losing, I can’t help but hope that Suho-senpai or Sangju-senpai will get on base.’

Right!

And as expected, Kim Joo-yeop’s batted ball rolled through the infield and ended with an ordinary second baseman’s ground ball. Things went as I expected, and now I was terrified.

‘Am I almost a prophet?’

‘A situation that anyone who knows a little about baseball can hit.’

‘Could I really have foreknowledge?’

‘Geel. Then what do you think will happen to him?’

Rossby said, pointing to Kim Soo-ho as he walked to the plate.

‘Well? If it’s Kim Soo-ho, it’s a walk… ?’

Well, a walk would be the most likely. Perhaps, if it were Kim Soo-ho, wouldn’t he wait while cutting it as much as possible? And Kim Geun-woong’s first pitch was thrown toward home plate.

Ta-evil!

“What… ? Fuck! Passed!”

“What? Did it explode?”

“Senior Suho!”

“Wow, fuck!”

Kim Soo-ho hit a home run with a lightning-like swing on his first pitch, which he did not usually hit well. So, has it been almost two weeks since Kim Soo-ho hit a home run? Seeing the sight for the first time in a long time, I spontaneously screamed.

My expectations were wrong, but such a pleasant incorrect answer was always welcome. I immediately went to the entrance of the dugout and met Kim Soo-ho.

“Home run good!”

Pak!

“Did you get some strength?”

“Ah, this is aegyo.”

Kim Soo-ho smiled and went into the dugout. They said it was number 1 in uniform sales last year. It definitely came up a bit. Well, not to the extent of me.

‘I have to hit him on the head with a bat every time he does this shit. What a pity.’

Ignoring the ugly man’s jealousy, I turned around to pack my bat.

“It was good. It’s suho Congratulations on your 200th career home run.”

“Thank you.”

‘Was that the 200th home run in his career?’

Kim Soo-ho, who calmly received congratulations despite setting a record, looked quite cool. Shall we say that he goes well with his little face? If it were me, I would have turned the bat and started talking shit.

‘Should I do that too?’

‘You will be fine. Hehe’

“Now we have 1 point left!”

“Let’s follow one point.”

With Kim Soo-ho’s follow-up home run, the atmosphere in the dugout heated up again, and the heat was immediately transmitted to me.

“Hey, you know you have to hit number 4 once, right? Reversal, Kazuah!”

“Maengho, if you can’t hit this time and come back, go to work an hour early tomorrow!”

Hearing the cheers of his seniors, he went to the waiting table. Opponent pitcher Kim Geun-woong in the waiting at-bat was sweating profusely. Well, since I was hit by Kim Soo-ho and trying to deal with Ki Sang-joo, I can’t help but break out in a cold sweat like that.

… Or maybe it’s the style that makes you sweat a lot. However, looking at her body shape, it didn’t seem like she was originally the type to sweat a lot. That’s true. Anyway, the match between Kim Geun-woong and Gi Sang-joo developed quite fiercely.

“Cheek!”

“Foul.”

“Cheek!”

“Strike!”

“Cheek!”

“Foul!”

“Foul!”

“Base on Balls!”

Ki Sang-ju, who gets a walk after an 8-pitch game. The sanggiju was immediately replaced with the great runner. Even I felt the coach’s will to make a tie by excluding Ki Sang Joo. And using a large runner like this was also something I believed would tie the game.

‘I heard director Lee Soo-hyun has eyes to see.’

-UG Overlords. Pitcher replacement. Number 65 Yoon Joong-hwan.

And as I expected, Yoon Joong-hwan took the mound. When he climbed the mound and saw the guy practicing pitching, his stomach started to churn again.

‘Ten-year-old, how do you catch up and do an interview like that?’

Didn’t you say you caught me and gained confidence? Fuck. Just looking at it, it was obvious that it was a ploy to increase his fame with me on his back, just like an unknown rapper dissing a major rapper to gain recognition.

‘What about this bastard? Aiming for the Asian Games?’

Asian Games rosters will be announced in early June. I could see that it was a pitiful ploy to build up awareness and be selected for the Asian Games and aim for military exemption.

‘Aren’t you also aiming for military exemption?’

‘Damn! I have skills! And I don’t want to become a national representative just by looking at the military exemption. What a sacred place to be on the national team!’

‘Fuck.’

I must punish such an impure fellow.

‘Mr. Rossby. Let’s take this opportunity to check the effect of the special training, shall we? I think I’ve been playing for about a month now without a location, but I’ll have to see how much I’ve improved.’

‘I guess.’

Just in time, Yoon Joong-hwan’s pitching practice was almost over.

“Ha, I’ve never seen him like that, but he’s kind of disgusting.”

“… What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Baek Kyung-ho, who had barely reacted to my words, reacted. You didn’t accept me until now, but now you accept my words? It also seemed like I was right.

“Are you planning on going to the national university after an interview like that?”

“What bullshit? Me?”

“No. Yoon Joong-hwan is that person. The thought of being exempted from military service while attending a national university is disgusting.”

“Ha, what a bullshit you were talking about. Joong-hwan went to active duty. Cub And he’s over thirty now, what nonsense.”

“Did it suddenly get too long? I must be running late.”

“Done. Just don’t talk.”

To lie Yoon Joong-hwan’s face looked like he was in his mid-twenties, even if he had to cut it a lot. I’m sure he’s trying to distract me, since I can’t confirm right away. The battery was disgusting in pairs.

‘Body side.’

Since he only has a fastball anyway, all he needs is a location.

‘In the pre-match video, it seems that up to two divisions have been possible, but shall we go and see it first?’

Yoon Joong-hwan’s fastball bent like a snake and came toward his knee.

“Cheek!”

Is the ball this tidy?

‘This time, it’s towards the body.’

‘Okay.’

It seemed like he was trying not to create a situation in which the ball rolled into the middle after throwing it outside.

“Strike!”

Strike is like this. The special training so far has been effective, but the ball and strike have been differentiated to some extent.

‘Hmm. Do you get it roughly? Shall we scratch the catcher as well?’

“Ah. This much? To talk like that with a ball of this size. Well, it must be the honor of a lifetime to strike out me with a ball of this caliber. So, you must have done that interview.”

“… Do you really have a mental problem?”

“Not at all?”

“Don’t you guys have a counselor at your club? Our group 2 kids are receiving counseling. I am really worried about you.”

“Cut your dick.”

“This bastard told the senior… !”

‘Are you excited? Usually at times like this, when he gets excited, he sticks close to his body.’

‘No. Outside this time.’

Certainly, Baek Kyung-ho was a veteran. He pulls it out even after being cursed at. Like other catchers, I would have kept it close to my body.

“Cheek.”

Perhaps it was regrettable that I didn’t swing the bat on the outside fastball, but I felt regret when I saw Baek Kyung-ho throw the ball to the pitcher.

‘It’s outside again. The location of the meat is the same as before.’

‘No way… ?’

To skip even when first base is full? While I was thinking that, Yoon Joong-hwan stepped on the pitch. And from the side of the guy’s hips, his arms stretched out.

‘This ball… !’

… Creeping in! At the same time as I felt it, the bat was swung reflexively. As his ball bent toward me, I felt it hit the center of the bat.

Ta-evil!

The feeling of the bat making a ‘gee-ing’. The batted ball flew towards the scoreboard at a fairly high speed. I kept appreciating that batted ball.

Tung.

A ball that hits the billboard and falls. Reversal two-run. Exciting pleasure rose from the tips of my toes. Feeling like ejaculation even though the cock didn’t even stand up… !

‘Fuck, I can’t stand it!’

I got down on one knee, held the bat like a gun, shot the billboard, and threw the bat.
