Chapter 477 – 469. Ready for the 2025 Season. (2)

-Volcanic Falcons! Shocking playoff elimination! What is the fate of director Jeong Cheol-min?

… After the Hwasan Falcons, who were aiming for the Korean Series with Seong Hyun, who returned to Korea this season, lost to the Hancheol Grizzlies led by Joo Seung-cheol, the future of the Hwasan Falcons’ head coach Jeong Cheol-min is attracting a lot of attention.

Director Jeong Cheol-min’s guaranteed term ends this year. Coach Jeong Cheol-min’s contract renewal seemed natural as he was recognized for his contribution in raising the Hwasan Falcons, who were ranked 10-9-10-10-9 at the end of the regular season, to second place.

However, the performance shown in the playoffs was disappointing, and an article came out that the club’s leaders were considering renewing coach Jeong Cheol-min’s contract.

Many baseball fans are paying attention to whether the Hwasan Falcons will renew manager Jeong Cheol-min’s contract or hire a new manager…

┗Jeong Cheol-min They are good at rebuilding, but honestly, considering the power, shouldn’t we have gone to Kosi? I am against it.

┗ㅉㅉ I made the last place team into 2nd place, but they didn’t know how grateful they were and tried to cut them off. They have to go back to last place to come to their sensesㅡ

┗┗Honestly, if you look at its power, isn’t it capable of competing for first place? Sung Hyun, Chae Jae-hyeon, and Kim Min-jun were the three domestic starters, and the mercenaries were also selected well, and Shin Su-ho was the best in saves as a finisher. In addition, catcher Lee Yong-gi and first baseman Choi Si-woo were reinforced with center fielder Kim Joo-yeop. It makes no sense to be eliminated from the playoffs

┗┗The key players were in their first playoffs. What does a coach do when his players self-destruct?

┗┗But I still have to change it. Jeong Cheol-min is good at rebuilding, but honestly, his strategy is terrible. Even when he faced AT for first place, he was kicked like a dog, but this guy just doesn’t know how to throw a game.

-AT Thunders! 2nd consecutive loss in the Korean Series!

-Woo Kwan-hyung, the ‘King of the Unofficial’, is now the MVP of the Korean Series.

-Woo Kwan-hyung, retirement implications? What is the fate of the Korean Series MVP?

… 2024 Korean Series MVP Woo Kwan-hyung spoke of retirement in an interview the next day. Woo Kwan-hyung expressed his intention, “Wouldn’t it be right to step down gracefully from the top position?”…

Meanwhile, Woo Kwan-hyung is a KBA legend who played for the AT Thunders for 23 years, appearing in 2,768 games and recording 3,149 hits, 399 home runs, and 400 stolen bases…

┗Hyung Kwan, please don’t retire ㅠㅠㅠ I think I can still do it for 2 more years

┗Honestly, it would be cool to retire after winning the Korean Series MVP, haha

┗Don’t get worn out hyung ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

┗It’s not a retirement-worthy performance haha. There were no home runs this year, but the batting average was 0.315 and the ops were 0.771, which weren’t bad, and the RBI was also pretty good.

┗Hyung Kwan Ham, let’s hit 400 home runs and retire haha

-Hwasan Falcons appoints ‘winning contractor’ coach Moon Ki-taek!

… The Hwasan Falcons have appointed Moon Ki-taek, who had two wins and four runner-up finishes in the UG Overlords, as their new coach. Coach Moon said, “The Hwasan Falcons are a team that can aim for the championship at any time. He expressed confidence, saying, “With my experience and the players’ abilities, we can win the championship.” …

┗In the end, Jeong Cheol-min was fired haha

┗ Wow, Moon Ki-taek is here haha. At this level, even Dol Cheol-min is acceptable haha

┗Moon Ki-taek to Falcons? ㄹㅇ I sharpened my teeth lol

┗ㅋㅋㅋ The league is going to be fun. To be honest, there was no expulsion last year, so I didn’t enjoy watching it.ㅋㅋ

┗┗ㅇㄱㄹㅇ

┗Honestly, it’s fun to talk about nerves with Meng Hosin haha

┗┗ㅋㅋ I think I’m still laughing at the fact that I got kicked out by the fierce god of martial arts. LOL

┗┗But looking at Fierce Protector’s performance, maybe it’s the right strategy? This time, I hit a home run at Kosi at 705%.

┗┗If it wasn’t for the disciplinary action, I think Meng Ho-shin would have won MVP.

-Teams that succeeded in cracking down on houses, there was no large-scale movement!

-2024 KBA League MVP, there were no surprises. Ji Maeng-ho’s second consecutive loss!

-2024 Golden Gloves, who will be honored?

-Sports star J, colliding with L?

… Meanwhile, according to rumors, there was a small conflict between sports stars who appeared on the same entertainment show. Although they are different sports, the two players who won MVP in each league collided after filming the entertainment show… Meanwhile, Mr. L, who is confirmed to advance to the EPL this winter, was seen with red cheeks the day after filming…

┗ Mr. J and Mr. L, no one can tell that you and Ji Maeng-ho are different people, so if this is going to happen, why are you posting anonymously? Haha,

┗Nowadays, even jokes are posted as articles haha

┗The bastards are crazy about the number of views and are fighting over soccer and baseball haha

┗If you look at Byeolgram, they say you just fell while drinking?

┗┗How do I fall and hit the ball like that? Anyone can see that it looks like he got kicked in the face haha

┗┗Let’s hear some rumors. Celebrities commit suicide because of assholes like you.

┗┗It’s funnier to commit suicide after getting hit with a few slaps haha

┗What doesn’t make sense is that it makes sense to attack Ji Maeng-ho based on his physical appearance? Haha. When I saw him, I thought he could make it to UFC if he just learned a little bit.

┗┗Anyway, it looks like the UFC is screwed when it comes to lifting athletes, haha

┗┗If you look at the bender, the punch is so clean, you don’t know it’s a hot topic?

┗┗The nose worm delusion is disgusting haha ​​Ji Maeng-ho is just doing it physically, this guy is cut from the featherweight class haha

┗But it seems like it stuck. Looking at Meng Ho-shin’s personality, there is no way he would leave the kid who shot him alone. If you look at Usabu, he’s secretly scratching you, right?

┗┗Hey, he wasn’t a brat, so he really fought?

┗┗If you are a fierce tiger, it is possible haha

– Joo Seung-cheol and Otani in one pot! Join the ‘LA Dodgers’ for 5 years and $100 million!

Joo Seung-cheol hit the jackpot. After this season, Joo Seung-cheol, who applied for posting, joined the Los Angeles Dodgers on a five-year, $100 million contract that included minor league veto rights after negotiating with numerous clubs. The teams that competed with the LA Dodgers until the end are known to be the New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and Texas Rangers.

The LA Dodgers said, ‘We are happy to be able to recruit the son of Seung-cheol Joo, a player we have been watching since his debut, and Hyung-jin Joo, who was with the team from 2003 to 2009. Having his father and son join the same team is a special experience for both the team and the player. He was delighted with the recruitment of Joo Seung-cheol, saying, “If Joo Seung-cheol shows here as well as he did in Korea, he will be loved by fans.”

Joo Seung-cheol said, ‘It is an honor for me to play for the team that was with my father in his prime. The experience of following my father to Dodgers Stadium when I was young still remains a fantastic experience for me. Just like the glorious history that the club has had so far, I am also ready to create new glory here,’ he said, expressing his feelings about joining the LA Dodgers.

Meanwhile, the Hancheol Grizzlies received a basic posting fee of $9.375 million (about KRW 12.8 billion) and an excess of $6.75 million (about KRW 9.2 billion) as a posting fee, hitting a jackpot of about KRW 22 billion.

┗Wow, so your annual salary is $20 million? How much is this?

┗┗Approximately 26 to 27 billion won

┗Freeman, Betts, Ohtani and Joo Seung-cheol haha ​​the line-up is a mess haha

┗Gukjeos is crazy hahaJjongpo TV is laughing so hard haha

┗But is Joo Seung-cheol available as a starter?

┗┗I think it’s possible? I don’t think they would have given me 20 billion won in annual salary to use me as a bench

┗┗I don’t think it will go down because there is a minor veto.

┗Wow, how does it feel to play for the team that Romantic Jiri’s dad played for?

┗┗So you should have come to Hyeonseong, but why did you go to school in Seoul because you were involved in variety shows at the time?

┗┗After coming from the U.S., I went to school in Seoul.

┗But if you’re on the same team as your father, isn’t there also Texas?

┗┗Joo Seung-cheol is also in a hurry to win haha. If it were you, would you want to play for Cheeksass haha

┗If Joo Seung-cheol is worth 100 million dollars, I’m really curious about how much Ji Maeng-ho is worth. LOL

“Wow, so you’re dating the instructor too?”

On the last day of his personal training, after successfully completing the training, he gathered with the kids and was having a light drink, when Hwi-cheol asked a question about Jo-eun with an envious look in his eyes. Looking at Hyunseong with interest, he seemed to be curious because Jo Eun and I were sharing a room at the hotel.

Well, it was understandable to be curious. Jo Eun sometimes went to District 2 to take Pilates classes, so she knew these people, and they also taught Pilates during this training.

“Well, you can think of it that way.”

There was no need to lie, so when they answered yes, their expressions became mysterious.

“But, instructor, do you know that you hang out like that?”

“I know, but why?”

“And… “Is the instructor a Bodhisattva?”

“Bro, are you trash?”

Hyeonseong’s expression looked serious when he asked if it was trash, so I thought about feeding him honey chestnuts, but then I decided to tell a good story to motivate my juniors.

“You guys. If you guys are good at baseball, you can make friends with 4 to 5 people at a time like me, so play hard at baseball.”

“Five people?!”

“… ?”

When I tell my story, their expressions turn into surprised expressions. Was it because my eyes opened slightly when I was drunk, and it turned into a mess?

“Wow, I’m dating five people, and it’s amazing that we go out at night every time we go on an expedition.”

“Bro, what’s your secret?”

“I should have learned this, not baseball.”

“Hyung, then is it true that the article talked about cheerleaders?”

“Wow, in middle school, girls would kick me when they confessed to me, but now I’ve completely broken the seal.”

“Brother Mengho, were you popular in middle school?”

“Well, he only played baseball back then. How did people change like this?”

“Shut up, bastard. “Have a drink.”

When Hyunseong, my middle school junior, tried to tell a story about his time in middle school, I covered his mouth. Because middle school was an embarrassing experience for everyone. To be honest, as Hyunseong said, I was slightly popular in middle school. At that time, I was so good on the baseball team that the high school offered me a scholarship and asked me to enroll. … The appearance wasn’t bad either.

But, at that time, I rejected the confessions of those women. At that time, I thought it was cooler to focus on baseball.

‘Fuck, if I knew sex was this good, I would have been doing it from then on.’

“Hyung, then are you dating Hyuna? What about the Asian Games? I think there were a few articles published?”

“How do you know Hyuna?”

“What are you talking about? Hyuna went to middle school with us. Hyuna’s older sister was very popular…”

Oh, that’s right. Hyuna also made a name for herself on the middle school volleyball team. Because she was tall, good-looking, and talented for the volleyball team.

“Well, I guess that’s the case.”

“Wow, it’s geography.”

“Bro, what’s your secret?”

“Baseball, looks. And…”

When Hwicheol asked what his secret was, he answered with a small smile. But they seemed to know what the final answer was just from my smile.

“But… Mengho has grown so much since middle school.”

“Wow, but I’m really jealous. “Brother, can I become like you?”

“Let’s work hard at baseball first.”

“Yes!”

The guys seemed clearly motivated by my words. Hwicheol and Hyeonseong were both important players when considering the composition of this season’s team.

Once senior Gwanhyeong was removed from the starting lineup, Hwicheol was the replacement to fill his spot. The same goes for his performance of hitting over .300 this season,

And catcher Hyunseong was also quite important. Although Jeong Yun-cheol lost the starting catcher position after returning from injury, he gained a lot of experience last year, and from this season, there was a high probability that he would split the position with Jeong Yun-cheol and become a catcher.

The most important thing when defending is the center line. There was no need to worry because we had myself and Seongtae in the infield, and if Hyeonseong or Hwicheol improved a little more, we could have won the league three times in a row.

The three-game losing streak in the league is a record that has only been granted to two teams in history. The Buffaloes of the 80s and the current Mad Cats of the 2010s. Both teams were prestigious clubs ranked first and second in history. AT Thunders was also a fairly popular and fundamental team, but it had a long dark period and a low winning record, so its performance was a bit disappointing for a prestigious team.

Moreover, the two teams were on the cusp of their dynasty by not only losing three games in a row, but four games in a row. I also had two years to go before going to the United States, so it wasn’t strange that AT Thunders would be in the same prestigious league as the other two teams if they won the championship during that time.

And in order to do that, it was important for other colleagues to perform the same way. No matter how good I was, it was impossible for the team to win on my own. I wasn’t worried about the seniors, who were the core of the team, but I thought this season would go smoothly if the juniors played a little better.

“Okay, Hwicheol, let’s work hard and become like Mengho.”

“I wish I could date at least one person properly. “To a pretty woman.”

As expected of men in their early 20s, their eyes sparkle when they hear what I say.

‘Wow, is this the feeling of senior Kwan Hyeong, who took me, a rookie, to training? I’m proud.’

With this level of leadership, Senior Kwan Hyeong will be able to retire without worry after this season.

“Oh, and wash my workout clothes before you go. Turn on the dryer. Kim Hyun-seong, if you use any other fabric softener like last time, you will really die.”

“… Fuck you, you old bastard.”

Bah!

“Ahh! Brother! Stop! Stop! Evil! Brother! “I will report this as violence!”

“Report it, you son of a bitch. I spent a lot of money on him exercising and gave him expensive drinks…”

“Yep! Brother! Stop! Stop! I’m sorry!”

… Sometimes good leadership requires fists. Mr. Rossby also said that.

After all, I felt like I could be a good leader.
