Chapter 408 – Episode 400. Before the Finals.

[In the top of the 9th inning, America’s last attack while trailing by 1 point. On the mound stands South Korea’s closer, Ko Young-hwan. Oh, and defender Park Cheol-young entered second base.]

[It appears that Ji Maeng-ho was injured as he was out after hitting a ground ball that he did not normally hit. When I looked at his batting form, his knee didn’t look that good, but he got it replaced too. I think he got injured on defense in the top of the 8th inning. It shouldn’t be a major injury…]

[I hope Ji Maeng-ho is not seriously injured. Now, Arena is at bat too. … Out! Number 6 hitter Freeman comes to bat! … Strike! Out! There is only one count left until the finals! Go Younghwan! You must be strong! Here is America’s pinch hit operation. Pinch hitter Bryce Harper comes to bat.]

[You need to be strong. Younghwan Go. It’s hard, but you have to do it!]

-Please, please! If you catch just one batter, it’s the final. Just stop it at all costs!

-Am I the only one who can’t watch the game because I’m nervous?

┗I can’t see it either

-Let’s just block one out!

There is only one out count left until the finals. The pitcher is Korea’s closing pitcher Ko Young-hwan, and the hitter is Bryce Harper, who overcame an injury to join the national team in 2023. Although Harper is not at his prime, he is a hitter who can hit at any time, and he was a hitter who won the MVP award as recently as 2021 before struggling with injuries.

A match where one cannot let one’s guard down, American fans watching the baseball game prayed for Harper to tie the game, while Korean fans watched the game praying for Ko Young-hwan to end the game.

[Go Young-hwan, nods his head. First pitch!]

Perfect!

And then Harper caught Ko Young-hwan’s first pitch. A full swing that seems to have been aimed firmly. However, the batted ball flew high, boasting an enormous launch angle.

[Park Cheol-young waves his hand. A sign that he will catch it! Hit the ball! Catch it! Go Young-hwan treats Harper with a fly ball! 4:3! The end of a fierce match! Korea will advance to the finals after defeating the strong contender for the title, the United States! Let’s release Han, who was ranked runner-up in the WBC, here! We advance to the finals!!!]

[Ugh!! Korea! Advance to the finals! I’m so proud of my juniors! Awesome! I really want to praise Kang Han-beom. It was a really burdensome situation, but in the bottom of the 8th inning… Wow, this is really amazing. Strong Beom!]

[Kang Han-beom’s solo home run in the final was decisive. Kang Han-beom finally managed to land a decisive blow in an extremely poor performance of 1 hit in 18 at-bats! In a moment, there will be an interview with Kang Han-beom, the number 4 hitter of the Republic of Korea who sank the United States. So far…]

-Fuck!!!!! Advance to finals!!! Let’s go for the gold medal!!!!!

-Wow, we beat the United States haha, this is sex.

-Hehe, no matter how good the players were, they couldn’t overcome Garrout’s dark energy.

┗Cowardly Korea! You should have included Woo Kwan-hyung in the entry too!

┗┗Woo Kwan-hyung didn’t win last year?

┗┗It’s a shame that no one acknowledges it because it doesn’t include the cosi entry.

-Garrout, give America back her Olympic gold medal! It’s all your fault.

┗If Gerrit Cole hadn’t been as bad as Gerrit, the U.S. Would have won comfortably.

-Who is the opponent?

┗Japan is beating the Netherlands

┗┗Game ends, Japan wins.

┗┗Then is Otani the starter?

┗┗ㅇㅇ Ohtani vs. Jang Woo-ju

┗┗Ah…

– Wow, Hanbeom is crazy about ham. I can’t believe I’m watching Joo Hyung-jinㅋㅋㅋ

┗Hey, it’s ham. Ham isn’t dead yet

┗Han Beom-i Ham C DA C

-But is Fierce Protector injured? It shouldn’t be an injury…

┗It doesn’t seem to be a major injury. I heard he was running around fine after the game haha

-Hmm… Are there any bad guys who won but are in a bad mood? Of course, Korea won the game, but our ‘big brother’ country, the United States, was eliminated from the Olympics because of us. I feel sorry for not doing our duty as a country.

┗The ROK-US alliance is acknowledged

┗┗ㅎㅁㄷㅁ

┗┗ㅎㅁㄷㅁ

┗Ha… I don’t feel comfortable either, so what can I do? Still, Japan, the ‘little brother’ country, remains. In the finals, let’s do our duty as a country.

-I’m Ji-maeng Honde, I’m grateful for your support, but I quit Byeolgram because of you guys. Damn. And I will find and kill the bastard who sent me a picture of his dick. Thank you always for your support and I will work harder in the future. Please look forward to the second half of the year. [25612 total comments]

┗ㅇㅅㅁㅎㅅ!

┗I lost a home run today. It’s Meng Hao. Don’t get sick and come back to the team.

┗Meng Hosin, your dedication saved Korea today. ‘Ji Maeng-ho’, the eternal GOAT in baseball history

┗ㅋㅋㅋMaengho, what are you tricking me into todayㅋㅋㅋ

┗┗ㄹㅇ When I held my knee, I was scared because I thought it would break.

┗Maeng Speed ​​exceeds 25,000~~~!! Let’s work hard and surpass 30,000!!

┗This guy 100% threw the bat on purpose. His personality is so fucking shit.

┗┗ㅋㅋAre you a traitor? It is just the ‘patriotism’ of fierce warriors.

┗When is this kid going to become a major? Please send it to me quickly and stop destroying the ecosystem in the fucking bar.

┗Fighting fierce defense!! Let’s give it a shot in the finals too!!

┗AGAIN 2008!!!

-Am I the only one who cried during today’s game? Although it’s my habit to watch baseball as I get older, I was really moved by the fighting spirit of the players. Like Seonghyun and Kang Han-beom, the youngest players in 2008 are playing so well as the oldest players in 2024. It really makes me cry.

┗I shed a few tears tooㅠㅠㅠ

┗You just have to trust the players haha. They will win this time too.

┗I can’t help but praise Ji Maeng-ho. A young player is out there shaking things up like that, but he continues to do well.

┗┗Hmm… Still, I hope to put character first before baseball. It’s hard to become a big player if you play like that.

┗┗So this is where you hear old people talking. All you have to do is be good at baseball. Ruth, Mantle, and Jeter met a lot of women. And it’s hard to become a big player? It’s already the best sun sundae in Korea.

┗┗Not the best player yet. There is Seonghyun, and there is Joo Hyungjin. Must be verified by major.

┗┗That guy’s major verification lol Didn’t you see him hit a home run against Gerrit Cole today? Even in the major leagues, he is at least an MVP contender.

-Joo Hyung-jin vs. Joo Seung-cheol vs. Ji Maeng-ho. Who do you think is the best hitter in Korea?

Hyungjin Joo wins the Beijing Olympics. A total of 599 home runs between Korea and the United States, 28 home runs and 100 RBIs in one major season.

Joo Seung-cheol hit 0.529 with 3 home runs at this Olympics, 30-30 for 2 years in a row, and 3 consecutive goals since his debut.

Ji Maeng-ho hit .529 with 6 home runs at this Olympics, last year’s MVP hit the world’s first 6 home runs in a row, hit .400, etc.

Looking at Joo Seung-cheol’s performance in the Olympics, he seems to be good enough to play in the majors. Who is Korea’s best hitter?

┗LOL Did you post this as a question? Of course, it’s Joo Hyung-jin.

┗┗With last year’s .400 hit with 60 home runs, it can be said that Ji Maeng-ho surpassed Joo Hyung-jin in just one season.

┗Why is Joo Seung-cheol here? To put it bluntly, Joo Seung-cheol couldn’t even surpass Choi Joo-tae or Kang Han-beom.

┗┗Still, Joo Seung-cheol and Ji Maeng-ho have a rivalry.

┗┗Honestly, it’s an unreasonable rivalry. Because it’s the same season as at. I’m struggling a bit this season, but Joo Seung-cheol isn’t there yet.

┗Ji Maeng-ho’s one vote

┗Ji Maeng-ho.

┗I still watch Joo Hyung-jin.

┗ㅋㅋㅋ It’s just Ji Maeng-ho. Even if Joo Jia sees him, he’ll probably say it’s Ji Maeng-ho, right?

┗┗Who is Jia Joo?

┗┗Baseball iTuber. This is Joo Hyung-jin’s daughter. Don’t you know ZIA Tube? He must be the most famous among baseball iTubers…

┗┗Ah. I don’t watch iTube,

┗┗Ah, Joo Ji-ah is the father and the older brother, so wouldn’t you choose Joo Hyung-jin or Joo Seung-cheol?

┗┗ㄴㄴJi Maeng-ho is just better.

“What kind of cell phone are you using when you come all the way here?”

“Aya!, Ah, oppa! “I was just leaving a comment because there was an interesting article.”

After one session of sex, take a short break. Jia, who was rolling around naked, was smiling happily while looking at her cell phone, so I slapped her small and attractive buttocks and asked her. It looked like she was surfing the Internet.

“Is that that much fun?”

“You talk about your brother a lot. Most of them are compliments. “I ate this man. There is such a sense of satisfaction.”

The first time we had sex, Gia was in tears, but she was so happy she posted my name on the internet. I felt good watching it all.

The day Zia came to the United States was the day of the quarterfinals against Dominica. She hasn’t had time to meet since she’s been busy appearing on various programs both in Korea and the United States, but she still managed to find time today.

When I was young, I followed Joo Hyung-jin and occasionally appeared on TV, from public broadcasts to iTube appearances. Although he sang a lot on baseball-related programs, his schedule was almost like that of a celebrity, so he didn’t have much time, so it was fortunate that we met now.

The room was fully air-conditioned, and I was sweating and feeling a little cold, so I laid down next to Jia, covered myself with a blanket, and stretched out my arms, and Jia naturally laid her head on my arms.

“Jia, but I have to be more careful now.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Seungcheol and Joo Hyungjin look at me in unusual ways.”

I was a little scared as I was able to get to Jia’s accommodation without getting caught by the two people.

“Really? Dad and brother? … What should I do? Should I just say we’re dating?”

“No, you don’t have to. “If you say you’re dating, a lot of your fans will fall off your iTube.”

“Under… The reporter brought me a strange article. “I’m avoiding it for no reason.”

What was the reporter’s name? Choi… Whatever it was, I was quite grateful that I enjoyed a comfortable sex life, but Jia seemed to be displeased with the reporter, perhaps because she thought she had been harmed.

“But, well, I came out today without being caught.”

“But brother, the selection for the finals is Ota, is it okay for you to stay with me like this? I was a little worried…”

Before having sex, we were just busy greedily exploring each other’s bodies, but once we finished, Jia seemed worried about me. Do women also have a wise person’s time? Well, it wasn’t any of my business, but I couldn’t let Jia keep worrying.

“Jia, didn’t you watch the WBC last year? “I told you off about Otani.”

“… Still. “It’s ‘Otani.'”

That ‘Otani’… In Jia’s words, there was an underlying message that I shouldn’t be with Otani. I can worry because I know baseball well… Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. Ohtani was now challenging Babe Ruth to become the greatest baseball player of all time.

To be honest, I also recognized Otani. According to what I heard during the power analysis class, last year he recorded 58 home runs and 13 wins, winning the American MVP unanimously, and this year, after moving to the Dodgers and completing the first half of the year, he is the best pitcher with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses and an earned run average of 2.25. He was showing a step-up as well.

What’s scarier than the pitcher’s record, competing with Sandy Alcantara for the Cy Young Award in the National League, is his batting performance. He hit 38 home runs in the first half of the year alone, recorded an OPS of 1.127, and was a monster with a wRC+ (adjusted run creation ability, 100 is the average and the most accurate batting stat among Saber stats) around 200.

But even if I was such a monster, I couldn’t bear the idea of ​​’my woman’ thinking that Otani was higher than I. And to even worry about it. My pride as a man does not allow it.

“Jiya.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t worry. “I’ll show you tomorrow.”

“… Yes.”

My confident expression made Jia’s expression look much better than before. An expression of trust rather than worry.

‘You made my girl look like that, Otani, you bastard is gone tomorrow.’

As I was making that promise, there was a knock on the door.

“Uh? What? There’s no one to come visit you, brother? Dad? For now, oppa, just hide!”

Jia hurriedly put on the short sleeves and dolphin pants that were lying on the floor and covered me with a blanket. And Jia runs to the door.

“W-who are you…” ?”

“It’s me.”

A familiar woman’s voice. And that voice was a familiar voice to Jia as well/

“Me? Surely, Hyuna?”

“Open it quickly. “What are you going to do if someone sees it?”

At the sound of Hyuna’s voice, Jia opens her door.

“Ah, the smell. Have you already had a round? “Oh, look at how her nipples are erect too?”

“Huh, sister? Where are you touching!?”

“Surprise~!”

When I walked up behind Jia and started talking to her, the look on her face as she looked back at me was quite a sight to see.

“Ah! Brother! Not even talking… !”

She had tears in her eyes because she really thought her dad or her brother had come.

‘But if I’m going to face Otani tomorrow, I’ll have to replenish my energy.’

It’s been a while since we had a threesome. I felt like I should do this to feel at ease in preparation for facing Ohtani, the best baseball player alive.

*

“Everyone ready?”

“Yes!”

“The opponent is Japan. If you lose, be prepared to swim back. “Understand, right?”

“I know!”

… And then the day of the finals dawned. My condition is excellent now. My knee, which felt slightly painful until yesterday, no longer feels any pain, perhaps thanks to the good time I had yesterday.

‘Phew, I’m in good condition.’

The person who will become the best baseball player of all time is me. The thought of driving that fact into Otani’s mind today made my lower body tingle.

‘Bitch, that’s because you had too much sex yesterday.’

‘… ‘Shut up.’
