Chapter 340 – Episode 332. Juji Daejeon. (1)

-Ji Maeng-ho of ‘The Return of the King’ hits 4 hits in 4 at-bats in the Futures League!

… Ji Maeng-ho, who was suspended for 30 games, adjusted his batting skills in the second team. In the game against Sangmu that day, Ji Maeng-ho proved that there were no problems with his condition by recording 4 hits in 4 at-bats, 2 home runs, and 6 RBIs.

AT Thunders coach Lee Soo-hyun commented on Ji Maeng-ho’s performance, saying, “Even during the break, we trained together and continued to check Ji Maeng-ho’s condition. He answered, “I will call up Ji Maeng-ho for tomorrow’s game,” And Ji Maeng-ho’s return to the first team was confirmed.

…

ㄴMaengho! I was bored while you were gone

ㄴFinally back!!!!!!

ㄴㅅㅂ I’m getting tired of waiting

ㄴFerocious Tiger… I was waiting only for you.

Oh shit, I should have stepped on those bastards before Ji Maeng-ho came.

-Today’s lineup is out!

Baek Jeong-jin – Kim Su-ho – Ki Sang-ju – Ji Maeng-ho – Choi Jin-cheol – Yun Seong-tae – Han Sang-gyu – Kim Hyun-seong – Jeong Hwi-cheol

ㄴㅅㅂIt’s miserable compared to this time last year.

Ah, where is my brother? When will he come back

ㄴThe foreign worker is gone again due to injuryㅅㅂ

ㄴㄴOur batsman is one of two things. Either he is so bad that he goes to the 2nd group, or he is sick and goes to the rehabilitation group.

ㄴStill, Jeong Hwi-cheol seems to be doing well these days

It’s better than nothing, but it’s a shame Williams was hitting .400.

ㄴLet’s throw away development like last year’s Children’s Dayㅅㅂ

*

Children’s Day gives dreams and hope to children. And on that Children’s Day, the importance of the Children’s Day Series, which is held every year with the Jamsil Rivalry, was painful to say the least. Because we were able to give a moment of life to the children who came to watch the game together with their parents.

Besides, I also had good memories of Children’s Day.

‘Last year, I had a fight with Hyejin in this locker room.’

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen this year. Perhaps because it was my comeback game, I was called to various events and didn’t have time to rest. When I think about it, I thought that Soyoung was the head of the operations team last year, so she seemed to take great care of my convenience.

“Hey, I guess you had a lot of fun during your break? Huh? Even his facial expressions brighten.”

“Oh, it’s not like that.”

It seemed like I couldn’t control my facial expression because I was thinking about having sex with Hyejin. Well, actually, it wasn’t wrong. During my break, I just had sex and rested a lot, and Hyuna returned to her original state.

“Well, you’re not nervous or anything, right?”

“Of course not. “I’m Jimaenghope.”

“Yes, Ji Maeng Hoji. Let’s win today and end with a winning result.”

Our record in games held on Friday and Saturday was 1 win and 1 loss. It was an important game that could lead to a winning series if we win today. Moreover, apart from the winning series, the team’s current record was in a difficult situation with 14 wins, 16 losses, and 1 draw, so a change in atmosphere was needed.

The reason our team is currently in 5th place is because of our poor bullpen. I was the only one who could solve this problem. If the bullpen is on fire, the batting lineup can give up more points.

Unlike the pitching staff, which continues to be on fire, the current batting lineup is pretty good. Kim Su-ho, Ki Ki-ju, and Choi Jin-cheol were performing well as veterans, and Yoon Seong-tae and Baek Jeong-jin were also performing similarly to last year. It was a bit disappointing to see the form of Han Sang-gyu, who replaced Woo Kwan-hyung as the designated hitter, but it was unavoidable since not all 9 players could play an active role.

Moreover, Jeong Hwi-cheol is hitting .300 to make up for the absence of Don Williams, who was hitting .400 just before getting injured, so if I were to join this lineup, I could at least cover for arson.

“Hyung, congratulations on your return.”

“You are not a nobleman either.”

“Yes?”

Jeong Hwi-cheol, who greeted me, responded with a dumbfounded expression.

“… It’s done.”

In fact, this guy, Jeong Hwi-cheol, was a guy I didn’t really care about. Is there a motivation for the draft where I just came in as a reported player? However, when I talked to him during spring camp, I was a little concerned because he was also a guy who sat on the bench throughout high school and only started playing in his third year.

I heard that Soyoung, who came to watch me in the finals, picked this guy. As Soyoung, who has a good eye for seeing, picked this guy, judging from his training, he seemed to have some potential. Joo-yeop, who left the team, seems to be better at defense than his older brother.

Maybe if I hadn’t met Mr. Rossby he would have ended up like this guy? No, he still appeared in a few games in his third year, but since Lee Ki-cheol wouldn’t have played until the end, I might not have been able to enter as a reported player and ended up like a bastard like Kang Ho-cheol.

‘Fuck, I’m getting mad just thinking about it.’

“Brother? “You don’t look good. Would you like me to bring you a drink?”

Dude, you’re quick to notice. Is it because he is a reported player? Or did you become more perceptive while on the bench in high school? Anyway, this guy was sincere and polite, so he was quite annoying.

‘Compared to a clumsy bastard like Junhu. … After all, this is a junior.’

“It’s okay. “You bastard.”

Well, aside from the fact that I was nervous, he didn’t really suit my style, so I sent him away. He’s sincere, so I guess he’s not the type of person I’d particularly want to get close to. He would have taken care of someone like Jun-hoo. For reference, Junhu was mentally broken and was still resting in District 2.

I can’t believe this guy has a mental breakdown over something like that. He couldn’t understand. Since ancient times, men control women with their cocks, and when he returns, I felt like he would have to teach me more about women from the beginning.

“Now. Everyone gathers together.”

While I was thinking about this and that, Coach Lee Soo-hyun came into the locker room and gathered the players.

“There’s no need to talk about today’s game, right? Go and win.”

“Yes!”

“Invincible!”

“”AT!””

The coach’s locker room meeting ended briefly and abruptly. This was something everyone gathered here knew. Today’s game doesn’t need much talk, it’s a game where you just have to win.

‘Okay, all the chicks for the season have been searched.’

[Hello! Hancheol Grizzlies and AT Thunders held in Jamsil, Jamsil rivalry between AT Thunders and Hancheol Grizzlies, which team of children will be able to give the joy of the winning series? The final game of the Children’s Day series will be held on Children’s Day. The attack begins in the top of the first inning with the away team, the Hancheol Grizzlies.]

[These two teams shared 1 win and 1 loss last Friday and Saturday, right? But no team will want to lose today’s game. Of course, there is not a single game out of 144 that is not important, but today’s game is especially important, right?]

[You’re right. Because there is something special about Children’s Day. I still have a clear memory of holding my father’s hand and going to the baseball stadium on Children’s Day. Now, let me explain the Hancheol Grizzlies’ lineup. 1st hitter Kim Dong-jin, 2nd hitter Kim Jeong-hyun, 3rd hitter Joo Seung-cheol, 4th hitter Thompson, 5th hitter…]

[Hancheol Grizzlies. We had some ups and downs at the beginning of the season as starting catcher Lee Yong-ki left as a free agent, but now it feels like we’re rebounding, right?]

[And this batter was at the center of that rebound. From ‘the son of a hero’ to a new hero. This is Joo Seung-cheol.]

[Seung-cheol Joo is leading Hancheol’s rebound by appearing in 31 games and posting a batting average of .404, 7 home runs, and 28 RBIs, taking first place in many areas.]

[So you’re looking forward to today’s game even more, right? Today’s game is that player’s return match.]

[You’re right. Ji Maeng-ho, who caused social controversy due to an assault controversy at the beginning of the season, returned today, Children’s Day, after serving a 30-game suspension.]

[Ji Maeng-ho, who debuted like a comet last season and recorded a batting average of .401.3, 60 home runs, and 58 stolen bases, and achieved 7 batting awards excluding hits, is today! I am returning.]

[It will be very interesting to see what kind of performance Ji Maeng-ho, the king who dominated the KBA league last year, will show this season.]

[The battle between Ji Maeng-ho, the king of the KBA, and Joo Seung-cheol, who goes from being the son of a hero to becoming a hero! I think child fans are also looking forward to it. Now, let me explain AT’s defensive position. Battery of pitcher Bellingham and catcher Kim Hyun-seong. Starting from first base, the infield is Choi Jin-cheol, Ji Maeng-ho, Yoon Seong-tae, and Kim Su-ho. The infield that dominated last year’s KBA league came together as a complete team just one month after the start of the season. And the outfield consisting of Ki Ki-joo, Jeong Hwi-cheol, and Baek Jeong-jin are guarding Jamsilbeol’s outfield.]

A Children’s Day game with a full crowd. Aside from the special nature of being Children’s Day, this game was attracting the attention of quite a few baseball fans. Because of the confrontation between Joo Seung-cheol and Ji Maeng-ho.

The carry battle between the two players, who had a hot batting battle in last year’s semi-playoffs, ignited a fire in the hearts of baseball fans, and after Seung-cheol Joo hit a home run and held a sniping ceremony in the semi-playoffs against the AT Thunders, their relationship became like a rivalry. Was formed.

Of course, the fans of Ji Maeng-ho, who recorded overwhelming results throughout the year, were dumbfounded and asked why he was rubbing Joo Seung-cheol, but in the eyes of other fans, the relationship between the two players was quite attractive.

A similar age, a key player on a rival team using the same home stadium, one of the best looks in the league, and the style of Hotajun Jok, who can easily score 30-30 based on his natural physical strength, were also good factors to compare. In addition, the life he lived was also contradictory, attracting the attention of baseball fans.

Joo Seung-cheol, who was born as the son of national hero Joo Hyeong-jin, made a name for himself as a top prospect in middle school and went on to success, and Ji Maeng-ho, who lost his parents in high school and went through difficult times, proved himself with his skills.

These factors combined made it impossible for the two players to be compared based on their performance alone, but as Joo Seung-cheol achieved results reminiscent of Ji Maeng-ho’s performance last year during the month of April, this rivalry, so-called ‘Juji Daejeon’ among baseball fans, It burned brightly between us.

And now, the first meeting of the two players this season has taken place.

[One out, situation! Kim Jeong-hyun hits a hit. Now, third hitter Joo Seung-cheol is showing his keen hitting ability at bat. … It’s Joo Seung-cheol! This hit goes far! High! Over the fence! It flies! Bellingham lowers his head! 2:0! Joo Seung-cheol scores the first run in the top of the first inning! Now, from a hero’s son to a seasoned hero! Joo Seung-cheol gives a great gift to Han-cheol’s young fans!]

In the first match, Joo Seung-cheol hit a home run and scored the first run, as if to show the fans that he was Ji Maeng-ho’s rival, and AT’s fielders had no choice but to stop the moment the ball hit the bat.

‘Fuck, why is that guy like that? Are you taking the medicine right now? My grades don’t make sense? Under…, If this is the case, do I have to do it again?’

And Joo Seung-cheol’s home run began to stimulate the competitive spirit of Maengho, who had been dormant after taking a month-long break from the game.
