Chapter 235 – Chapter 233. Fierce Tiger Is Strong! (One)
“Wow, what is Shilla Sabbath today? Look at the lineup Are you giving it openly?”
“Since it’s summer, isn’t it time to take a break?”
“Well, those bastards hang out with Hancheol on the weekends. Hanchul This week’s rotation starts with Radet, right? It looks like they’ll be able to catch it from 4th place.”
As I was examining the faces of female fans coming one after another from the dugout, I heard the seniors’ voices interrupting my appreciation. I was a bit annoyed that it interrupted my appreciation, but since I was the youngest, I had to endure it.
‘Shh, should I hang out with this?’
The black man’s voice broke the excitement, so I talked to the seniors.
“But what about the lineup?”
“You removed everything except the outfield. Cheolyoung doesn’t come out and welcome doesn’t come out either. Hyungyeong-senpai didn’t even come out.”
“Oh, is that so?”
When I heard the words, I looked at the electronic display board, but there were no names of Park Chul-yeong and Kim Hwan-yeong. And the name of veteran third baseman Yang Jae-hyung. Taking out key infielders at this crucial time when the ranking battle is at a standstill. There must be only one reason for that.
“Well, neither did they. The fear of this Ji Maeng-ho.”
I realized that there was no chance of winning this confrontation as long as I was there. It was true that he needed a break because it was hot in the summer, but to come out so blatantly. Shinra Triggers was pretty cute.
“Envy you. The world revolves around you.”
“Kronx, this bastard is good. Thanks to me, you can eat Gongseung too.”
“[Hey, Ji! Did you call me?]”
Damn, that’s a surprise After the misunderstanding was cleared up, we got along pretty well while fucking and eating girls together, but I couldn’t help but be surprised every time he hooked me up like this.
“[Yes, play hard today. My brother will help you.]”
“[Okay, Bro. Please take good care of me today.]”
You have such ardent fans, so you can’t refuse a favor. You’re in luck, Kronx. Normally, I don’t mix with male fans, so consider it an honor.
“Come on, come out. Let the game begin.”
“All right.”
At the head coach’s words, we packed our gloves and went to the ground. Perhaps because it was summer, the brightly shining sun seemed to celebrate today’s victory in advance. As I put on my sunglasses and looked at the sun, the national anthem resonated throughout the stadium.
[East Sea and Mt. Baekdu… ]
‘Well, since it’s 45 homers, it must be over 50 before August? There are 41 stolen bases, so if you add 9 bases, you get 50 stolen bases. Ha, but it’s hot, so I don’t want to run… Still, when I think of the Asian Games, I feel like I have to run now… I don’t know.’
While I was listening to the national anthem and thinking about various things, I heard the referee’s announcement that the game had ended before I knew it.
[At the beginning of the 1st inning, Shinra Triggers attacks. Hitting number 1, Lee Eun-chong.]
Along with the announcer’s words, Shinra Triggers’ center fielder Lee Eun-chong came into the at-bat. Perhaps because Krongs, a mercenary pitcher hot in the league these days, was standing on the mound, Lee Eun-chong’s eyes were quite fierce.
‘Shall we take a look at Kronx’s condition today? I’d like to strike out if possible.’
Being in the middle of summer, the weather was hot and it was difficult to defend. There’s training and sex going on every day. No matter how much I was, I felt that I was lacking in stamina these days, so I wanted to go as comfortably as possible in the game. Because I couldn’t stop having sex.
“Strike~!”
First ball strike. The start was good.
‘I don’t think I’ll have to suffer today at this level?’
Right!
Kronx’s second ball was a foul that hit the back net. From then on, he was the count of Kronx. Kronx, who started with two strikes from the start, threw a manned ball lightly and struck out Lee Eun-chong, the tricky first hitter, on the fifth ball.
“Longs, it was good!”
As he gave him encouragement, Kronx looked behind him and grinned. And thumbs up. Seeing that he could afford to give a thumbs up, he seemed to be in good shape today even though he felt like it. Kronx easily struck out the second batter that followed, and Raciel Puig, a mercenary hitter and right fielder of Shinra Triggers, entered the at-bat.
Puig, a black mercenary from Shinra, was supposed to come out as the 4th batsman with his unique power, but it seems that he came out as the 3rd batter today to take a break from the main players and concentrate on batting power.
Right!
And Puig hit Kronx’s first pitch, and his batted ball went high. Near second base.
“My ball.”
A ball that comes right away without moving the body. I shouted a call and caught the glove without even lifting it into the sky.
“Hey, look at that insincere? Did you come out to drink?”
“Well, this is light enough.”
Puig, the hitter, seemed a little heated as I caught the ball with ease. It wasn’t something I cared about, though.
“Look at the squirm squirming. I’m mad at you, kid.”
“That’s because of me. I couldn’t hit it.”
“[Hey, Ji! It was a good defense! You can feel the concentration of the defender that he will not use his stamina.]”
… Kronx I like all these bastards, but sometimes when he compliments me like this, it feels like he’s making fun of me. However, the expression was purely admiring, so I was very confused.
‘If I get caught later, I’ll have to give it to them or throw it away.’
Coming into the dugout promising the next day, Ki-chul Lee encouraged the hitters, as if he was in a good mood after committing a tripartite offense.
“Now, since Krongs blocked it with a tripartite offense, let’s score just one point lightly. Batters can do it.”
Well, even if it’s not that, Lee Ki-chul’s mood seems pretty good these days. According to Hyejin noona, his batting performance improved a lot compared to last year, so it seems that he received a bonus last month. It annoyed me a little that I gave away that bastard’s bonus, but I could tolerate it to some extent since it was being used to raise my son.
“Maengho, isn’t the youngest already answering? Get out of here.”
Damn, you tripped over me for no reason.
“… Yes.”
“Come on, let’s go! Invincibility!”
“AT!”
“… Eighty.”
After listening to the voices of my seniors and responding to Lee Ki-chul’s lead, I sat down on the bench.
‘Lee Chang-joon… Did you say I’ll have to see what level it is. There wasn’t much to see in the video.’
It seemed like Kim Joo-yeop would be able to check the level of Lee Chang-joon. And then our bottom 1 attack started. After five pitches, Kim Joo-yeop hit and was able to reach first base.
‘Well, nothing special like you saw in the video. Redemption is about mid 140? The sliders are a bit bent, but not to the point of concern.’
I don’t know if it worked at the 2nd team level, but this is the KBA league. And we were the hottest batting line in the KBA league.
Right!
Kim Soo-ho also got on base with a hit that slipped between the second baseman and the shortstop, and I headed to the standby at-bat in line with the weatherman’s at-bat.
‘I want to easily score 1 or 2 points.’
And just in time, the weatherman hit Lee Chang-jun’s first pitch.
Ta-evil!
A light hitting sound and a ball that flies far. Right fielder Puig follows the ball. The voices of AT fans grow louder with big batted balls.
-Wow!!
– Meteorologist! Weatherman! Weather…
But that voice ended in a sigh as Puig caught the weatherman’s batted ball. And runners tag-up. The situation has now become 1 company, 2nd and 3rd base, as the big ball of the weatherman is caught in front of the fence.
‘Ah, fuck.’
It was a good situation to score, but it was the worst situation for me, who is aiming for the best player today. In this situation, Shinra’s bench had only one strategy to choose. Exactly intentional phrase. It was clear that there would be no foolish manager who would not miss me in a situation where the first base was empty, as I was showing a great sense of hitting.
“Ah, Kaby. I thought it would pass.”
“Senior, if you’re going to do this, just don’t hit me. Because of you, it looks like I was being deliberately prosecuted.”
“Sorry, but can you not hit that?”
“Well, the ball is so shitty that it’s hard not to hit it.”
After talking for a while with Ki Sang-joo entering the dugout, I walked into the plate.
‘Jip, if this is the case, there’s a high chance Choi Jin-cheol will become a Distinguished Player?’
Choi Jin-cheol with one out and bases loaded against a left-handed pitcher. It wasn’t easy for him to get the first shot.
“How are you? Go fast It’s intentional anyway, right?”
After greeting the referee, I talked to the catcher. But the catcher was unresponsive.
‘It’s not fun.’
‘It’s a first pitch fastball.’
‘… Yes?’
Fastball… You throw? Not skipping?
‘Honey!’
It seemed that these pups hadn’t come to their senses yet. Guys who can’t keep their spirits like this need an education.
‘Take a shot and get your mind right. Bastards.’
After some time passed, Lee Chang-joon winded up. The ball that comes flying at the same time he takes off his foot… ?
“Uh? Uh! Fuck!”
When I saw the trajectory of the flying ball, I immediately ducked. And the ball he threw passed where I had just been standing. While I was dumbfounded, third base runner Kim Joo-yeop and second base runner Kim Su-ho advanced to the base and scored one point, but it felt strong.
‘Fuck, what is it? Mr. Rossby! Where was the meat location?’
‘It was a low ball in the middle.’
Didn’t ask for a body ball, even a low ball came over my head?
‘Fuck, these bastards… !’
“Sorry. The ball is missing too much. Changjun must have been nervous.”
“… It’s missing, right?”
There was deep bewilderment in the catcher’s voice. A tone he never expected. If this was acting, this guy wouldn’t be wearing a catcher’s mask, he deserved to be in the TV. In other words, this must be the pitcher’s discretion…
‘Usually, when a left-handed pitcher misses the ball, he goes left, right?’
‘What are you talking about? Do you have a baseball one-to-day? Just looking at it, they came out aiming for it.’
“It’s fun.”
“… Huh?”
Ignoring the gunner’s bewildered voice, I collected myself. An obvious provocation. There was no reason to avoid the fight that had been walked.
‘Since before UG, no bastard has touched me. It seems that that wasn’t enough. Didn’t I think I should have soaked one more person then?’
That’s why you shouldn’t show weakness. I should have just hit the catcher’s head and the pitcher’s bamboo stick.
“Sorry. Chang-jun seems a little nervous because it’s been a while since he’s been on the 1st team stage.”
The catcher hands over the apple again. Yes you will save
The game resumed, and the pitcher continued to shake his head. Maybe he refuses to throw a breaking ball and throws a fastball.
‘Is that right? Shall I not?’
With my reflexes, I could dodge his ball, but I was a little worried.
‘Right. That way I can hit comfortably.’
‘… Isn’t that right?’
I was thinking of hitting him, but it was obvious that if I didn’t hit him, I would definitely be punished severely. So, a cause was needed.
‘Come, I’ll give you one shot.’
The guy winds up again. And the ball flies toward you again. I jumped and turned backwards, and I felt a strong pain in my back.
“Uh?”
“Are you okay?”
“You want to fight, right?”
Without even hearing an answer, I threw my bat and started running toward the guy on the mound. The guy standing on the mound was staring at me as if he was so confident.
“Hey, wait!”
“Ji Maeng-ho!”
I run to him, ignoring the noise behind my back. The distance between him and me is about 10m. I saw him pull the glove out of his hand. There, the corner of his mouth went up and seemed to be ignoring me a little.
‘Ha, fuck. Now all these star-fucked bastards are clinging to me.’
“What?! What!”
A pitcher who screams when our eyes meet.
‘You bastard, it looks like he’s been scared.’
Thinking of the catcher running behind me, I can only hit two shots. Gradually, the distance with him is getting closer. The arm of the guy who held his posture swung at me first. I punched his right fist with my left hand and threw his right hand out.
‘First, strike with your right hand first!’
Puck! He could feel the heavy blow hitting the guy’s chin in his fist.
‘With my left hand again!’
As I was about to raise my left hand, he disappeared from my sight. And my left hand cut through the air.
“… Huh?”
When I lowered my gaze, I saw the fallen guy to my left.
“What… ?”
He came out confidently, so I thought he was a guy with a hanger, but this is the end? It was embarrassing and embarrassing.
At that time,
‘Ji Maeng-ho! Look to the side!’
… Rosby’s cry was heard. When I heard Rossby’s voice calling my name, which I didn’t usually call, I looked to the side and saw a black object running towards me from right field.
‘Fuck, when did this bastard end up here… !’
“Hey! It’s crazy!”
And at some point, I could feel the presence of the catcher.
