-[KBA] AT Thunders! Sweep in Suwon! Maintain 1st place!
… AT Thunders maintained first place with a sweep win over JT Gold Eyes. The Huashan Falcons, who were competing for first place, recorded 2 wins and 1 loss in this series…
ㄴKk, let’s keep it like this and become number 1 on the regular!!!
Ah, I should run now when the mood is good, but the rainy season starts next week.
-Isn’t it advantageous to have a good volcano as a starter during the rainy season?
ㄴGulkin don’t do it ㅅㅂ
ㄴStill, I don’t know what will happen since the Olympics have been pushed back. Because all the important pitchers of Hwasan were taken away.
ㄴㄴPhew, we’re glad the pitcher wasn’t taken away.
Are you glad that happened? ㅅㅂ The team competing for the championship does not have a national pitcher. ㅅㅂ
-[Photo News] Continuing rain, ‘Hyung, do you want a drink after?’
… Watching the rain falling at the stadium, AT Thunders’ Lim Jun-hoo gestures to Ji Maeng-ho for a drink.
ㄴKkotbaemhu That bastard asks a woman to go out for a drink even after getting burned like that ㅅㅂ
Is that kid out of his mind?
ㄴThey were just playing around with each other, but they took the picture so maliciously. They said they were targets because they were popular for no reason.
ㄴㄴThere was an incident like that in the first place, but playing pranks like that is a problem.
No? Are players not allowed to drink on their days off? It’s ridiculous haha
-AT Thunders 13:2 win over NV!
… The match between AT Thunders and NV Rex held in Jamsil was held in an underwater match. It was the AT Thunders, led by a strong batting line, that won first…
ㄴThe volcano won again, stop following me ㅅㅂ
-[Professional Baseball] Gocheok JT-Silla game and 4 other games canceled due to rain.
… Due to the impact of the rainy season that fell across the country, it was announced that all games except the match between Shilla Triggers and JT Gold Eyes held at Gocheok Dome Stadium were canceled due to rain.
ㄴㅅㅂ Why are these two teams in the remaining games? ㄴㅈ
ㄴㄴㄹㅇㅋ
-[Professional Baseball] Sunday game results.
…
AT Thunders 7 – 3 UG Overlords
…
…
-The KBA league had fierce competition for rankings. Who is the brightest star in June?
… Many candidates have been named as MVP candidates in June, but the most likely candidates are Seong Hyun and Ji Maeng-ho.
First, looking at the batter candidates, there were several prominent candidates including Joo Seung-cheol, Kang Han-beom, and Lee Yong-gi, including Joo Seung-cheol, who hit 10 home runs in June and was named as an MVP candidate, but Ji Maeng-ho was listed as a batsman candidate. .
Ji Maeng-ho played in 22 games in June and recorded 0.392/0.536/1.152/1.688 in the order of batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage/OPS, with 31 hits in 79 at-bats, 16 home runs, 28 runs, 30 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases. Ranked first in all batting categories except hits. Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho achieved a new record by winning the monthly MVP for four consecutive months from April to July of the 2023 season.
The leading MVP candidate facing Ji Maeng-ho is Hwasan Falcons’ pitcher Seong-hyun. Seong-hyun showed close to perfect pitching in the month of June, proving why he is Seong-hyun.
Seong-Hyun’s performance in the month of June was 5 games, allowing only 1 run in 33 innings, recording an ERA of 0.27, 40 strikeouts, and 0.67 WHIP (on-base percentage allowed per inning). During this period, Seonghyun’s number of wins was 5, leading Hwasan’s upward trend.
Seonghyeon and Ji Maeng-ho. Attention is being paid to who among the two players will be the monthly MVP.
What are these two? Are people sexual?
Wow, it’s difficult.
ㄴHonestly, isn’t Ji Maeng-ho the winner? 16 home runs is a truly crazy record.
ㄴㄴBut it’s not that surprising because it’s Ji Maeng-ho haha
ㄴㄴIf you think about it like that, what are Seonghyun’s grades?
To be honest, Ji Maeng-ho’s record is only possible for Ji Maeng-ho, but isn’t Seong-hyun’s record something that MVP-level pitchers sometimes record?
Why is this a debate? Didn’t Ji Maeng-ho shave the dog in the last match?
No, it’s May
ㄴㄴHe’s been untouchable since then haha
ㄴㅅㅂ Even if it wasn’t for Philately, it would have been a landslide victory.
ㄴㄴㄹㅇ I think I would have accumulated more stats if I hadn’t done philately
ㄴㄴI might have messed up haha
Do you really think that?
ㄴI don’t think it would be strange no matter who it is haha
-AT Thunders 1 win and 1 loss in the game against Charlotte! The ranking is… ?
… AT Thunders tied the series with 1 win and 1 loss, excluding one game that was canceled due to rain. … Meanwhile, the Hwasan Falcons lost the game that day, and AT succeeded in maintaining first place by one game.
-Ji Maeng-ho, achieved 30-30!
… Ji Maeng-ho hit his 30th home run of the season in a game against the Mirae Buffaloes on the 5th, succeeding in achieving the milestone of 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases for the second consecutive year. AT Thunders won thanks to Ji Maeng-ho’s performance…
ㄴㅇㅅㅁㅎㅅ
ㄴㄴㅇㅅㅁㅎㅅ
ㄴㄴㅇㅅㅁㅎㅅ
Well, this is natural
ㄴYou bastard, don’t make articles about the 30-30 fierce warriors. If this continues, even your breathing will be covered in articles ㅡ

-[KBA] Who will be the June monthly MVP? Seonghyeon, a powerful pitcher who allowed 1 run in 33 innings!
… On this day, Seonghyun was selected as the June Monthly MVP, beating out Ji Maeng-ho, who was a strong candidate.
Meanwhile, Seonghyun, who was selected as the monthly MVP in June, will receive a prize of 2 million won and a XX Bank gold bar worth 750,000 won.
Wow, I’m tired of The Return of the King haha
Wow, it seems like a lot of Hwasan fans voted because they said they could smell fall for the first time in a long time haha
ㄴㄴIs it just a grade you deserve?
In your eyes, do those look better than Ji Maeng-ho’s grades?
ㄴㄴㅇㅇ If you compare a batter and a pitcher, of course it’s the pitcher
ㄴㅋㅋㅋ cut of their own genius batsman!!!
Inferiority complex.
What an inferiority complex. It’s just your baby who doesn’t bite and sucks. Sunghyun is also a dick, but what about the majors? Anyway, if you go to the majors, guys like Ji Maeng-ho are all over the place. I don’t know how you can expect to win in Korea, but if you go to the US, it’s just a missed swing machine. Haha. This guy and Inseong will be a mess, so you won’t be able to go anyway haha
ㄴㄴCost-effectiveness in three words haha
ㄴㄴ got beaten by this bastard fierce tiger?
-[KBA] Last game of the first half, which team is smiling?
… AT Thunders, who are currently in first place, will play the final game of the first half of the year against Hyunseong Madcats in Jamsil.
Meanwhile, this season’s All-Star Game will be held earlier than usual, as announced by the secretariat before the season starts. The reason is because of the upcoming Olympics, and in line with the national team’s departure schedule scheduled for the 18th to participate in friendly games before departure and to adapt to the time difference in the United States…
ㄴLet’s watch for first place until the end!!
ㄴBut is it possible to have an All-Star Game when it’s raining like this?
Wow, you damn bastards don’t fall off
*
“Has anyone seen the monthly MVP coming out today? Did you see Seonghyun’s grades? Do seniors think these grades make sense at this age?”
“Anyhow. Hey, did you see Sunghyun’s debut? “It was worse back then than it is now.”
“No, the grades don’t make sense.”
“Then do your grades make sense?”
“… “I am different.”
Anyway, people called seniors. I vented my frustration at losing the monthly MVP, but there were no seniors who took my side.
‘So, this is living your life alone, right?’
What a good thing I have done so far! I dedicated myself to the team! This is what comes back.
“What do you think, Jincheol?”
“Huh? Didn’t Hyun-i deserve it? What if you give up 1 run in 33 innings? And didn’t you hit .400 last month?”
“That’s because pitchers avoid winning! “Keep looking, looking, looking.”
“Ah, the current manager is unreliable, so walks aren’t worth it, right?”
“I’m sorry, Meng Hao. Because he is an unreliable senior.”
“Well, that’s not the story… Senior! “If you keep doing this, I won’t be a batting pitcher in the Home Run Derby?”
“… Anyway, Seonghyun, this bastard is old and just took away the juniors’ records.”
This is it too. I felt slightly better when Choi Jin-cheol, who had asked me to be a batting pitcher ahead of the upcoming All-Star Game, took my side.
‘I don’t know why you asked me, but people should live good lives.’
For reference, Choi Jin-cheol was likely to be the home run king of this home run derby. Players selected for the national team decided not to participate in the Home Run Derby because their batting ability could be ruined. In other words, I didn’t hit 17 home runs in last year’s Home Run Derby.
“Wow, Jincheol, I guess he has no pride.”
There were some comments from some seniors who were jealous of me, but it didn’t really bother me. Because I was used to jealousy.
“Uh? “The manager has arrived.”
As I was chatting with my seniors, the person I had been waiting for arrived. The reason we were so upset in the dugout was simple. Because of the rain that shows no signs of stopping. And what I mean is that the manager came at this time…
“Director, today is canceled due to rain.”
The words we’ve been waiting for come out of the manager’s mouth.
“Did you hear everything? Don’t cause accidents and rest quietly at home.”
“Yes!”
“I’m off work!”
“The guy who just yelled at me to get off work stays and gives me a special hit and leaves.”
“… Yes.”
Everyone started getting ready to leave work except Seongtae Yoon, who shouted without notice.
‘Tsk, I want to play more games, but the rainy season is driving me crazy.’
If I had played a few more games in June, I could have won the monthly MVP, but the rain was disappointing. It was a shame that the batting flow was cut off because of the rain. Well, it was nice to have a day off.
‘Ah, it ended a little early. It’s difficult to go to a club.’
It was nice to leave work early, but it was an awkward time to do anything. Since the rain was pouring from the sky, I didn’t feel like going outside at all.
“Meng Hao!”
When I changed my clothes and was about to leave the locker room, Park Jun-hyung called me.
“Brother? “Why?”
“Would you like to go to the cheerleading team dinner today?”
I heard you’re perfect at things like this.
“How are you so close to the cheerleader?”
“So you don’t like it?”
“… Of course, it’s a call.”
*
“They’re just fucking around.”
In a dark car, a man with bleary eyes from staying up all night pressed the camera button. With a clicking sound, Ji Maeng-ho and the woman are captured on the same screen in the camera.
“Wow, I finally got it. “This bastard is so good at meeting women, so why is it so hard for her to take pictures?”
The man who captured Ji Maeng-ho’s image on camera was reporter Choi of Xcatch, a media outlet that is quite famous for various gossip and scandal articles in the entertainment industry.
There is only one reason why an entertainment industry reporter followed Ji Maeng-ho for about a month. When popular idol iBlack was making a comeback, I was following iBlack to see if there was any news, and I filmed iBlack’s youngest members, Joohee and Ji Maengho, talking.
After that, the two people got into their respective cars and although it seemed like there was nothing missing, the reporter had a feeling that the photo might be worth money. Reporter Choi, who smelled money, contacted a senior reporter in the sports world and asked about Ji Maeng-ho.
And when he found out from his senior that Ji Maeng-ho had quite a bit of trouble with women, reporter Choi slapped her on the forehead. The senior warned Ji Maeng-ho’s agency because it was well-known in the sports world, but it had nothing to do with him as an entertainment reporter anyway.
‘Do you think this could make some money if I tie it up with Joohee? Also, was it Sehee? It seems like there was a scandal with that actor as well. Wait, Joohee and Sehee were in the same agency, right? If I touch this well, I can make some money.’
After that, reporter Choi investigated Ji Maeng-ho. Through Xcatch’s unique following. For one month, reporter Choi’s daily life was simple. During the day, he follows celebrities around as usual, looking for news stories, and at night after the baseball game, he chases Ji Meng-ho around. If he goes home, he stops reporting and goes home.
And what I found out was that, as a senior who worked in the sports field said, Ji Maeng-ho was fucking with women. Unfortunately, the majority were ordinary people. And today, we finally succeeded in capturing Cheerleader and Ji Maeng-ho, who are well-known to the public, on one screen.
It would have been a better story if he had had a girlfriend as well as meeting many women, but as a result of waiting in front of Ji Maeng-ho’s house all day every day when there was no baseball game for a month, Ji Maeng-ho was never seen going out, so there was no infidelity as expected. It was the same.
“Well, if you don’t have it, you can make it. Joohee and Sehee, club. “I think it will sell well if we make something like this.”
You have the ingredients, so all that’s left is to cook the dish and sell it during the times when it will sell the most. And that time zone had already been decided. The Olympics were the time when the entire nation focused their attention.
If the baseball team does well, it does well, and if it does poorly, it does poorly. A business with nothing to lose. Reporter Choi was looking forward to the Olympics where he could showcase his cooking.
