Chapter 233 – Episode 231. Take It Sweetly (2)

“Chief! Shouldn’t that bastard be kicked out?”

Moon Ki-taek approaches and screams. There were UG players and coaches who tried to dissuade Moon Ki-taek, so the original plan to show the taste of fists unfortunately failed.

“Now. Calm down.”

“Me? Why me?”

“Didn’t you see what that bastard did to me? Are you blind?”

“If you verbally abuse the referee one more time, you will be ejected.”

Still, the guy’s face looked pretty good. Big eyes that can be seen even through sunglasses. Reddened face. A voice that seems to be lifted from the Danjeon. The look that anyone can see is very angry. The way he spoke with his mouth trembling made me feel better. Well, that’s enough to make me feel guilty for offending my girl.

‘Ah, wasn’t it sweet?’

‘Hehe, you bastard. That kind of provocation is out there.’

‘It is not a provocation. It’s punishment.’

‘It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a bastard like you. I have no choice but to admit it now. You are my equal or greater.’

‘… Aren’t you very happy?’

Seeing Moon Ki-taek’s face blushing even as he chatted with Rosby at a leisurely pace made him feel like he could sleep without a woman tonight. Of course, there is no such thing as missing sex on a pleasant day like this.

“What does that hand gesture mean?”

The referee, who was mediating between coach Moon Ki-taek and me, spoke to me.

“What? I just did fan service because I could see an AT fan on first base?”

“It is a lie! Lie! Lying about where the AT fans are at first base… !”

“There was before.”

When I looked around the first base cheerleaders, unfortunately, no one was wearing an AT uniform.

“Hmm… , Looks like they’re out now.”

What are you going to do without it?

“This bastard… ! Lie to the end!”

It was really nice to see him getting angry with words despite my lies. Shall we scrape some more?

“Referee. Isn’t this rant against players? Are there any rules? Can you get that guy to leave soon? Doesn’t anyone see that the flow is cut off just because it was reversed? Why? Aren’t you ready to pitch in the bullpen?”

“Stop, stop!”

The head referee cut me off, but it didn’t matter because he had already said everything he wanted to say.

“You bastard Lee Suhyun! Can’t you just train players like this?! Are you still the director?!”

“Why do you do that to a tough player? Is it wrong to do fan service to fans?”

Moon Ki-taek reprimanded director Lee Soo-hyun, but Lee Soo-hyun embraced me. Before the meeting, director Lee Soo-hyun, who said that he looked back on the situation where I almost got hurt, was angry.

‘Well, even if I were the manager, it would have been like shit if I had tried to soak a player like me. My team can’t do without me.’

“Director Moon! If you continue like this, you will be kicked out.”

“Ugh, this ungrateful bastard… Hey! Kim Il-seop!”

Kim Il-seop? Who is it?

“Moon Ki-taek! Exit!”

“What? This kid… !”

Judging from the referee’s reaction, it seemed that the referee’s name was Kim Il-seop. In the end, Moon Ki-taek called the referee by name and was sent off.

“Eww, the director is such a hot-tempered man. I shouldn’t be like that.”

… Did you hear It seemed that Moon Ki-taek could hear what I muttered softly. Because even my ears were burning red.

‘Moon Ki-taek. What would you do So who’s going to dress like that in an interview? Sweeten it.’

From a come-from-behind home run to the manager’s dismissal. It was a fairly fruitful match.

-[KBA] AT Thunders! Sweep the series! Grab the 1st place UG and rise in the rankings!

-[KBA] Hyeonseong Mad Cats, chase by 0.5 game car! It’s not over yet.

-[KBA] KBA, stern warning to coach Moon Ki-taek for verbally abusing the referee!

-[KBA] Ji Maeng-ho, on the cutting board of controversy again.

-[KBA] Was Ji Maeng-ho’s provocation already predicted?
… In the previous interview, Maeng-Ho Ji had said, “If you have any complaints, come on the mound.” This provocation is expected to express what he said in the previous interview. On the other hand, the AT Thunders replied that they were just doing fan service for the AT fan at first base, and had no other intentions…

-[KBA] Secretariat, there is no basis for punishing Ji Maeng-ho. Where did the definition of baseball fall?
… Meanwhile, the secretariat is causing controversy by saying that there is no basis for punishing Ji Maeng-ho’s actions in the rule book. Director Moon Ki-taek was ejected for verbally abusing the referee…

-[KBA] Coach and player bench clearing, how many times has this been?
… This is the third bench clearing between a manager and a player, following the case where the pitcher cursed at the manager and the case where the manager cursed at the pitcher who threw the ball. On the other hand, although the cause of the bench clearing was not the friction between the manager and the players, there is also a unique case where the manager directly subdues a player who entered the dugout…

-I’m Jimaenghondee, I’m grateful for the support, but because of you guys, I gave up on Stargram. Damn. And the bastard who sent me the picture of his cock, I’ll find and kill him. Thank you always for your support and I will work harder in the future. Please look forward to the second half.

ㄴI’ll add another line of controversy today~
ㄴThe content that started too early,,,, Personally, please do it again after the season is over!
ㄴJia unni, don’t be friends with a player who has such a personality. I’m afraid that even Jia unnie will burst into flames.

After Ji Maeng-ho’s provocation and Moon Ki-taek’s exit, baseball fans heated up again by talking about Ji Maeng-ho. However, the controversy did not last long. It was Ji Maeng-ho’s skill that calmed the controversy. Those controversies gradually faded away in front of Ji Maeng-ho’s overwhelming ability, which even those who cursed at him had no choice but to admit it.

– Ji Maeng-ho, achieved 40-40! 50-50 Challenge the unprecedented record!

It was the first Korean hitter to record 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases. In addition, with a batting average of .400 maintained even at the end of July, the media began to pay more attention to the record than to the controversy.

-AT Thunders! Winning Series to Future Buffaloes! Leap to 4th!

In addition, the fall baseball tickets, whose outlines were visible, brought the hidden AT fans to the bright side, and the forces that cursed Ji Maeng-ho gradually began to disappear in front of the AT fans’ firepower.

– Battle for 4th place! Who will win the rivalry between Hancheol and AT in Jamsil?

-1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, a fierce match! The rankings are still in the dark!

– Sweep on the volcano! AT Thunders jump to third place!

-Kang Han-beom VS Ji Maeng-ho, a confrontation between old and new geopo, this time?

-AT Thunders, solidify 3rd place! Winning series in Charlotte.

– Ji Maeng-ho, July MVP award. Set a record for winning awards for 4 consecutive months!

– The ranking is still unclear. Is the league polarizing?
… 1st place UG Overlords and 2nd place Hyunseong Madcats have won 59 wins and maintain their rankings by 1 game, followed by 3rd place AT Thunders with a 0.5 game difference, and 4th place Shinra Triggers with 56 wins and 1 game difference. 3rd and 4th were split. The 5th place Hancheol Grizzlies are also chasing the 4th place Shinra Triggers with a 0.5 game difference, and the 6th place Charlotte Blue Mariners have 47 wins and a 7.5 game gap with the Hancheol Grizzlies, virtually all fall baseball tickets have been decided. …

And apart from that controversy, Ji Maeng-ho’s sense of hitting never cooled down.

“I don’t see any momentum for Ji Maeng-ho’s bat to cool down.”

Ahead of the head-to-head match, the team leaders of the Shinra Triggers held an emergency meeting to prevent such a Ji Maeng-ho.

“Seeing that the bat hasn’t cooled off even though the second half has started, it doesn’t seem like a bubble either.”

“Certainly, in terms of talent, I think it can be seen as the best of all time.”

“The problem is that we have to deal with that Ji Maeng-ho. What, how could there be no way? Wouldn’t it be hard to come back up if you lose to AT in this head-to-head match?”

On the second Monday of August, ahead of the twelfth match between the Shinra Triggers and the AT Thunders, a heated discussion was taking place in the Shinra Triggers’ office. The subject of the discussion is Ji Maeng-ho, a hot potato. He was about the hottest, most disruptive hitter in the league.

“Hmm… Normally, I have to lose my strength in the summer. Even though I am a rookie, I feel that I am well managed.”

“There are rumors that Woo Kwan-hyung, the personification of self-management, is wearing them.

“I wish Inseong would follow only half of Woo Kwan-hyung, but how did such a guy come out of Korea? If I had been director Moon Ki-taek, he would probably have grabbed me by the collar.”

“Whoa… The governor has to step in and restrain him, but he is blinded by the popularity, so he has no choice but to cover it up.”

“If I knew it would be like this, I should have nominated Ji Maeng-ho, not Kim Won-ho…”

“Kuhm, great. Let’s stop talking about the past.”

The conversation in the conference room was interrupted by the scout leader’s embarrassed voice. Momentary silence. And again someone got lucky.

“Since this is just one game, if we win in this head-to-head match, it will be two games. If this series is over, there will be two more head-to-head matches, so it will be difficult to catch up with AT on my own.”

As the saying goes, this confrontation was a very important match. 3rd place AT Thunders and 4th place Shinra Triggers and 56 wins, the same number of wins, but AT Thunders were ahead by one game due to the difference in the number of games and draws.

If they lose this confrontation, it will give an advantage to not only the AT Thunders but also the Hancheol Grizzlies, who are in good spirits. From the standpoint of Shinra Triggers, it was a situation where they had to hold on to this confrontation and move up.

“If we can take this head-to-head match, we might be aiming for the championship… , Really.”

The gap between UG Overlords and Shinra Triggers, who are currently ranked #1, is 2.5 games. If they increase their momentum in this confrontation and go on a winning streak, winning the club’s long-cherished wish was no longer a dream.

“Actually, without Ji Maeng-ho, the team would be nothing special.”

“It is. Objectively, it is not a power that our power is inferior to.”

“I… I have a good idea.”

While everyone was thinking about stopping Ji Maeng-ho, the head of the power analysis team opened his mouth.

“Why? Did you come up with any weaknesses?”

“… If it is a weakness, it is a weakness.”

“Okay?! What did you find?!”

Both the manager and the general manager raised their voices at the word “Weakness.”

“Actually, I don’t see any weaknesses in batter Ji Maeng-ho.”

“What? Are you kidding me?”

“But the human Ji Maeng-ho has weaknesses.”

“What are you talking about? Aren’t you talking straight?”

“If you are a difficult hitter, you don’t have to deal with them. It is said that public opinion on Ji Maeng-ho is not bad, but the level of controversy is unprecedented in the KBA league. If you induce violence on the ground, won’t it at least not come out in a head-to-head confrontation?”

And various data began to emerge from the hands of the head of the power analysis team. The materials are Ji Maeng-ho’s interview and articles dealing with various controversies. Those gathered at the meeting began to read the materials slowly.

“As shown in the data, Ji Maeng-ho is a person who does not avoid fights. He’s quite hot-tempered, and doesn’t shy away from swinging his fists. In fact, there is a record of using the same strategy with Ji Maeng-ho in UG Overlords. That match was the 10th match between AT and UG. Baek Kyung-ho was hit by a bat, so UG ended the operation, but if they were prepared and entered the game in the first place…”

The power analysis team leader did not gossip, but the people gathered here could instinctively know what the rumor was.

“… If so, wouldn’t it be possible to lose players to injuries?”

“It can’t be helped, can it? Because there are a lot of young players. And at best, wouldn’t it be enough to get hit by a fist on the mound?”

If you throw a beanball, it will definitely come out of the mound due to Ji Maeng-ho’s personality. He’s not a boxer, and he decided that he wouldn’t get seriously hurt with a single punch.

“But maybe…”

At someone’s negative remark, the head of the power analysis team shook his head slowly.

“Even if one person is injured, if we can get Ji Maeng-ho out of the plate, wouldn’t it be a surplus business?”

The strong point of Shinra Triggers was that it was a pool of up-and-comers like Hwasubun that would never stop. Even if one or two of them are injured, it doesn’t show.

“Um…”

“… Let’s do that.”

When everyone was thinking, the general manager in charge of the overall team made a decision. If this fact is revealed, it is a gamble that could be severely reprimanded by baseball fans or ruin a promising player. The general manager of Shinra Triggers decided to bet on the gamble for the team’s victory.

It was Monday morning, when Ji Maeng-ho was enjoying sex with women.
