Chapter 364 – Episode 356. A World Line Where AT Picked a Good Mercenary Hitter? (2)

“Hey, isn’t your batting order a joke?”

“Is it that much?”

“Real, I thought you were going to throw up.”

Drinking with Wonho after a long time after the game. As soon as Wonho got drunk, he started grumbling.

“Fuck, your pitch today was disgusting.”

“Hey, I got a quality start today, dude.”

“A quality start is 6 innings and 3 runs, right? Wow, the pitchers really play comfortably. Even if I give up 3 runs in 6 innings, they give me a name and suck it up? “If you give up 3 runs in 6 innings, isn’t that an ERA of 4.5?”

Kim Won-ho’s performance today was 3 runs in 6 innings. When Junhu, who was the starter, gave up 3 runs in 5 innings, he came off the mound and erased the loss, but it was not a performance he could boast about.

“… “Please refrain from pack violence.”

Wonho must have known that, too, as his face turned red, and he remained silent for a moment. Then, as he thought of something to excuse, he took a drink and opened his mouth.

“Hey, but honestly, it’s your batting lineup that gave up 3 runs, and I’m currently in the 2-point range these days. Honestly, your batting line is so deceptive. Sangju senior, Jincheol senior, and Suho senior. These three are last year’s goal-level hitters, plus you, last year’s MVP. “There is no batting line to take a break.”

I think today’s game was really difficult. When I see you complaining like this.

“Seongtae there? That person also has a room. “Senior Jeong Jin is in his 30s now, right?”

“Yes.”

As Wonho said, our batting order was definitely organized. The 4th starting pitcher was also working well, and except the catcher, all of them were showing pretty good batting skills.

“And Jeong Hwi-cheol? Is that him back then? “We met in the finals.”

“Do you even remember that?”

“Of course I have to remember that. It’s the last finals of high school. “You hit a home run and won.”

“Baby, you have a good memory.”

“He was hitting like a bad guy back then, but he eventually made it to the first team and is hitting .300. Anyway, then you can’t even recruit mercenaries, and even mercenaries are hitting 40%. Fuck, Williams, if it weren’t for that bastard, today would have been easy. “Didn’t I do a good job of stopping you?”

“He’s good at blocking. “If it weren’t for Jamsil, you know we would have passed today, right?”

“Blame Jamsil. It’s just that I was pressured by my stomach. Ha, fuck. So why go to AT? Just do it in moderation and play for Silla with me.”

“What Silla? “I haven’t even won the championship.”

Shinra Triggers was a truly amazing team. As far as I know, it was a team that had never failed to advance to fall baseball since 2013, but they never won a championship during that period. All the players are good, and there are even players who advance to the majors occasionally, so why is there no championship?

‘I guess it’s because good players go to the majors and S-level free agents aren’t recruited, right? To be honest, it would have been difficult for us last year if we didn’t have any of the three seniors Sangju, Jincheol, and Jangyoon.’

In particular, when I was completely tied, I was able to win because seniors Sangju and Jincheol gave me strength. Well, I couldn’t deny that I was at the center of it all. Thinking about winning last year, I felt a little excited.

‘After all, winning is always a good thing.’

“Yes, it would be nice to win last year. Under. But it looks like you’re on track to win this year too, right? “How can we stop mercenaries since they are so good at defeating them?”

But the good feeling slowly subsides as Wonho mentions Williams.

“Williams… “He plays well.”

I’m not sure, but considering what I saw today, Williams was a bastard who couldn’t let down his guard. Do you think we need to look at it carefully in the future? I felt uneasy about something.

“You said your team’s mercenary is good, so why do you look like that? Really, jealous? Hey, no matter how well I hit, will I hit .400 like you?”

Even though his team was robbed today, he still cares about my feelings. As expected, Wonho was a good friend.

“Hey, let’s stop talking about baseball and go meet some girls. Come out.”

“This guy has a girlfriend. Even if you’re really wrong, I don’t know. “With Hyuna’s personality, I don’t think she’ll just watch.”

“Baby, don’t worry… I take care of my girlfriend. Just come out.”

“Aren’t you criticizing me for no reason?”

“I heard it’s okay.”

“You really are trash.”

Even though he said it was trash, Wonho stood up from his seat.

“Hey, but if a girl asks you out without me, just tell me.”

“Why is that?”

“Bitch, I still have to look at it. What if a strange girl sticks to me? You know Junhu, right? “I stopped that bastard from meeting strange women.”

“I get it, dude.”

After Wonho’s last words, we left the room to find women to enjoy the day with.

‘If I go on an expedition to Daegu, I’ll go out and have fun, so I’ll have some fun today.’

-AT lineup. 8 Jeong Hwi-cheol, 4 Ji Maeng-ho, 7 Ki Sang-ju, 3 Choi Jin-cheol, 5 Kim Su-ho, 6 Yoon Seong-tae, 9 Baek Jeong-jin, 2 Kim Hyun-seong, D Han Sang-gyu. Williams is said to be on standby today as a pinch hitter due to thigh pain. He said that although running the bases is difficult, he can also come out in critical situations.
ㄴHa, Williams played well, but he broke again after one game.

ㄴStill, I’m glad that Meng Hao-ra is back. I almost cried when both of them weren’t there.

Wow, there are a lot of injuries this season.

ㄴHan Sang-gyu is selected because he is a hawk

ㄴJimaengho Gazua escaped from Jamsil!!!

-“The hospital said there was nothing wrong…” Director Lee Soo-hyun sighs deeply at Williams.

“The test results say there are no special abnormalities, but what can I do if the player himself is sick?” This was what coach Lee Soo-hyun said before the game against Hyunseong Mad Cats. After winning 2 wins and 1 loss in the series with the Shilla Triggers, they rose to a tie for first place, matching the winning percentage with the first place Hwasan Falcons, but coach Lee Soo-hyun expressed his disappointment with Williams prior to the game.

After the return of Ji Maeng-ho, last year’s league MVP and the team’s leading hitter, on May 5, AT Thunders coach Lee Soo-hyun, who seemed to be cruising to first place with momentum, also had concerns. Players who left the team due to injury.

Kwan-Hyung Woo, the ‘Man with 3,000 Hits’ who is known as the heart of the AT Thunders, was injured in last year’s semi-playoffs and left the team, and catcher Yun-Cheol Jeong, one of the main players in last year’s championship, also suffered a hamstring injury and is undergoing training in the rehabilitation group. .

In addition, Williams, a mercenary hitter who was expected to end the AT Thunders mercenary hitter’s brutal streak with a batting average of .402.5, also suffered a hamstring injury and missed about five weeks. And yesterday, in the game against Shilla Triggers, he returned and performed well with 2 RBIs, but again felt something wrong while running the bases and was replaced with a pinch runner.

Williams underwent a medical examination today, but the results showed that there were no abnormalities, causing a headache for coach Lee Soo-hyun.

Coach Lee Soo-hyun joked to reporters, “It’s good to hit well, but you have to show up in the game,” And lamented the mercenary hitter’s injury. In addition, he expressed his faith in Williams, saying, “If we have a good situation today in scoring position, I plan to use him for at least one at-bat.”

Fortunately, the AT Thunders are missing many of their key hitters, but Ji Maeng-ho returns to the batting lineup after the assault incident and provides great strength, saving the day. The AT Thunders’ batting lineup will meet Hyunsung’s ace Choi Jung-hoon in today’s game.

Meanwhile, Woo Kwan-hyung and Jeong Yun-cheol are scheduled to return in June.

ㄴIsn’t Williams a trickster? It’s so fucking suspicious.

ㄴHa, if you’re healthy, you won’t be able to hit, and if you’re not going to be able to hit well, you won’t be healthy. Batting part scout team, do your job properly

ㄴBut it looks like Williams is worth the wait. If you look at him hitting, this kid is real haha

No, you still have to come to the game.

Hmm… What will the batting lineup be like when Woo Kwan-hyung returns?

ㄴㄴWoo Gwan-hyung is older, so he should serve as a pinch hitter. Honestly, Jeong Hwi-cheol and Baek Jeong-jin are both playing really well, so Lee Soo-hyun must be worried too.

There is no need to worry because when Woo Gwan-hyung returns, another person will get hurt.

ㄴLet’s step on Hyunseong and rise to first place!!!! Honestly, Hyunseong’s condition hasn’t been good lately, so I think I’ll have to sweep him here and go.

*

“Hoya, I miss you. “I didn’t know that the real Gaga was like that.”

“Hey, senior. Are you okay? “I’m still worried about it.”

“Ha, that little bastard even reached out to our son. Ha, Shiva.”

“Did you?”

First trip to Daegu after returning. During a break during training, Park Jung-hyun, the national team catcher and Hyunseong’s starting catcher, approached me and repeatedly apologized. But what about our children? Could it be that that bastard also reached out to Hyeonseong’s pitchers?

“Right. Under… Shiba, so I’ve been researching it for a few months now. It shouldn’t be. Shiva, this is a long time ago.”

Well, they also played a trick on Jun-hoo in Seoul, so would the main camp have been in a terrible situation in Daegu?

“So, did you really do it?”

“My son says it’s a kid, but I’m not sure because he received pocket money a few times when he went to play there. The house keeps calling me a child, so I have to wish for a child, why should I cry?”

“But what gangster did he get his allowance from?”

And Park Jung-hyun’s answer was shocking. After tricking him into giving him free alcohol, he said he had to report it to his superiors, so he deposited money and then used the money to buy alcohol for the player. This was becoming a problem because there was a deposit record of him receiving money from that bastard.

“This is why you shouldn’t eat anything carelessly.”

Women or whatever. After all, free stuff is dangerous.

“Anyway, sorry. Let’s play well today.”

“Yes, good work to you, senior.”

And Park Joong-hyun passes away lonely. Judging by the fact that he had aged a lot without even seeing his face, he seemed to have suffered quite a bit.

‘So Hyeonseong’s grades were bad? Somehow, this is not a team that will be shaken by just having one closing pitcher, but that doesn’t mean they’re in 10th place. The team looks like a mess.’

We won’t know until the results come out whether there was real match-fixing or not, but I was worried to see a team like Hyunseong being shaken by how many players were being investigated.

Hyunseong Madcats is a club that can be considered the most prestigious team in the KBA League, winning the combined championship for four consecutive years from 2011 to 2014, winning the refit from 2020 to 21, and missing the postseason from the 90s until now. It was a strong team. In particular, since 2002, when we went through a dark period, Hyunsung has never failed to advance to the postseason until this year, so the team was also called ‘Reverse AT’ until we won the championship last year.

However, seeing the team fall to the bottom due to one or two players being investigated in such a club, I realized that the team atmosphere is important.

Also, there was one guy on our team who looked like a loach who would ruin the team atmosphere. It’s not as serious as Hyunseong’s, but it feels like if left alone, it will ruin the team spirit to win the championship?

‘Williams, if that bastard is really faking it, he’s after me.’

If Williams was really faking it, I felt like I had to step in to help the team maintain discipline and win the championship.
