Chapter 632 – Episode 619. There Should Be Days Like This Too.
-Hyunseong regains second place by defeating the powerful AT!
… Hyunseong Madcats wins series against AT Thunders…
┗What is a no-hitter?
┗┗They scooped it up so much haha I think I would have skipped it if it wasn’t for Jamsil
┗┗But even with a no-hitter, he reached base twice with an intentional walk.
-Volcanic Falcons! Sweep over AT!
… With a perfect starting mound of Seonghyun, Tinie, and Chae Jaehyun, they defeated AT and took first place…
┗Si-eup, if Meng Ho-shin hits two more home runs per game, we can win.
┗┗ㄹㅇ It’s a fierce Protector’s fault for only hitting one hit haha
┗ Wow, it looks like Chutaek is going to show off this guy’s fierce fighting spirit, so it’s Joji’s intention to throw it right away haha
┗┗The 9th place team is being singled out
┗┗?: AT survived? Then I have to die again
┗┗Chuntaek seems to have a grudge against this bastard AT
┗┗Wouldn’t it is like you? I got fired from UG because of AT and being an asshole haha
-Ji Maeng-ho, explodes with 4 home runs! Break AT’s 4-game losing streak!
… The AT Thunders, who were in danger of losing their fourth game in a row, had Ji Maeng-ho. Starting with a home run in his first at-bat, Ji Maeng-ho hit three more home runs in the bottom of the 3rd, 5th, and 8th inning, recording a total of 9 RBIs, breaking the team’s 4-game losing streak. Ji Maeng-ho said in an interview, “Maybe because he came from playing in Munhak, the feeling of hitting was a little vague, but now he seems to have gotten it back. “It took a long time to find the feeling of hitting because there were a lot of intentional throws, but I think fans don’t have to worry anymore.” …
┗LOL Somehow, I pumped it up a lot last week LOL
┗┗My swing has really grown haha. Still, I’m glad I got the hang of it again after a week.
┗Excuse ㅆㅂㅋ
┗Wow, but Maeng Ho-shin already has 21 home runsㄷㄷ I was a little worried because his performance was worse than last year
┗┗There was an umbrella effect last year haha, but the class didn’t go anywhere

“It’s an automatic intentional decision.”
“Intentional Work!”
‘Oh, Mr. Did I hit too many home runs yesterday?’
Was it because he hit too many home runs against NV pitchers yesterday? At the bottom of the first inning, he went to bat with two outs and runners on first base, but as soon as he entered the batter’s box, he was called for a hit and had no choice but to step to first base.
‘No, that’s still true. The intentional throw on first base with two outs is a bit…’
You’re skipping me at first base with two outs. NV seemed very scared. The judgment was so quick that Sangju senior must have planned an automatic intentional throw even before hitting the hit.
When I glanced at Seongtae, I noticed that Seongtae was also scrunching up his ugly face, probably because his pride was hurt.
‘Don’t just crush my face, hit me.’
To be honest, every time I went out like this, I tended to solve the problem to some extent, but compared to seniors Sangju, Williams, and Jincheol who have been behind me all this time, I think it would be a little disappointing.
He was showing good performance for a shortstop with a batting average of .284, an OPS of 0.876, and 8 home runs, but he couldn’t help but fall short compared to KBA legend hitters.
‘Tsk, if it had been Sangju or Williams, it would have been a double, and if it had been Jincheol, it would have been a home run…’
In times like this, the best solution is not to have expectations. Even though I had high hopes, my appetite only got the best of me, so I stood at first base and watched Seongtae hyung’s at-bat.
“Jitterbug! Strike!”
And Seongtae-hyung, who swings coolly from the first pitch curve…
“Ugh…”
A sigh automatically came out of my mouth. If Seongtae had seen this scene, he would have known the meaning of my sigh and reflected deeply on it, but it was really unfortunate that he couldn’t see me because he was a left-handed hitter…
Ta – Aak!
… Everything?
“What? Did you go? Did you go? And! Seongtae Yoon! What is it from episode 1?”
With the first base coach making a fuss, Seongtae-hyung’s batted ball quickly passed over the right wall.
“It’s strange that if you don’t expect anything, you play well.”
It was an unexpected situation, but a home run is a home run. I happily started circling the bases. After reaching home, I gave a high five to Seongtae, who scored 3 points.
“Mind! “Did you sigh?”
“Yes? Isn’t it?”
“I saw it all, dude. Did you see it? Hitting a ham home run. “If you sigh on the wall, you’ll fall behind, really.”
“… Exorcism. As expected, I trusted Seongtae Ham.”
“Seongtae, Meng Hao. Let’s go quickly and stop the bullshit. The pitcher is glaring.”
“Yes!”
He got an intentional walk from his first at-bat, but thanks to Seongtae-hyung’s home run, the score was 3 points lower. The atmosphere was good from the first episode.
‘… Also, it seemed like the number of intentional phrases had increased since before UG, so I hope this will bring things back to normal.’
The reason for the increase in intentional pitches is, of course, that the batting lineup is not the same as last year. There were Seongtae, who had risen to the ranks of the league’s top shortstops since last year, and Kim Sangmin, who was growing little by little with my help, but the weight was still lower than last year’s batting lineup, which achieved the best record of all time, and the number of intentional walks was increasing day by day. Br〉
What is important to prevent that is the growth of the hitters behind. I wanted to bat in front of Sangju senior, but then the batting lineup would not be able to do anything, so I had no choice but to hope that the batters behind me would hit a little better like they did just now.
Two outs in the top of the third inning in such a situation.
Perfect!
Today, Sangju senior hit two hits in a row as if he had caught the day,
“Safe!”
In important situations, Sangju senior would stop at first base even if it meant sacrificing his own record because I was behind him. However, after confirming that he would skip even with 2 outs and 1st base in his first at-bat, Sangju senior ran all the way to second base.
“… “It’s an automatic intentional decision.”
“Intentional Work!”
… And an automatic intentional phrase declared as if it were obvious.
“Hey, Shiva. “I wasn’t good at swinging the bat today.”
With two consecutive automatic intentional errors, I could definitely feel that today’s business was a success.
“Base on balls.”
And this time, Seongtae calmly picks off the ball, creating a situation with bases loaded and 2 outs. So Seongtae got on base with a walk, and I was on second base.
‘Fuck, try this too. Mr. Rossby!’
It was already a shitty situation, but a perfect situation was created.
‘… Tsk. It’s a slider.’
‘Sangmin! It’s a slider!’
How many times have I delivered a pitch to Kim Sang-min, hoping that he would feel at least 1/10th of what I feel now.
Perfect!
Kim Sang-min’s missed ball passed the second baseman’s height and landed in front of right field. When the ball hit the ground, it was two outs, so I had already passed third base after running from the moment the ball hit the bat.
“Nice!”
The right fielder could not even throw the ball home and scored 2 RBIs. The score immediately becomes 5:0.
“Out!”
However, Baek Kyung-ho, the 7th batter, was out and the inning ended.
“Guyungho, please be careful! I’ll never miss something like this again. Okay? “You know the opposing pitcher is an asshole.”
“Okay, I’ll do my best!”
“Let’s give it a 10-point lead today.”
The bottom of the third inning began after encouraging Kyung-ho, who was frozen after being called out.
“Strike! Out!”
Perhaps because starting pitcher Diaz was scratched, he continued his streak of 7 batters in a row. Diaz, this kid still had his ups and downs, but my sincerity that I showed him on Children’s Day must have seemed to resonate, and he showed good pitching by recording 7 scoreless innings in one of his two subsequent appearances.
And I was relieved because the pitching he was showing today looked better than that day. After that, he put one batter on base, but blocked the next batters and got three outs.
‘Are you really lucky today? Wow, there have to be days like this.’
I felt it ever since Seongtae hit a home run in the first inning, but today it really felt good. Does it feel like I can win even if I don’t do anything? The same goes for the score of 5:0.
The score of 5 runs remained until my third at-bat in the bottom of the 5th inning,
Perfect!
Once again, senior Sangju hit a single, creating a situation with one out and first base.
“… “It’s an automatic intentional decision.”
“Aren’t you getting tired of it? I think it’s time to stop skipping it.”
“Stop talking nonsense and walk to first base.”
“Ugh, I got 5 points, but I’m so anxious to know what to do.”
“Ji Maeng-ho. “Don’t provoke me for any reason and go to first base.”
“Yes.”
I wanted to scratch the catcher a little more, but the umpire intervened in the middle, so I arrived at first base without regret. But that regret did not last long.
Perfect!
Seongtae hit the first pitch right away and Sangju senior went home, and I stopped at second base. And today, NV’s starting pitcher, who gave up 6 runs in 4.1 innings, leaves the mound and is replaced. Normally, I would have run to third base and aimed for a sacrifice hit, but it was a 6-run lead anyway.
What you need to do to prevent yourself from being unreasonably filtered again is to score a lot! I quickly received the pitch from Mr. Rossby and delivered it back to Kim Sang-min.
‘Fastball. ‘Aim for the new pitcher’s first pitch, okay?’
Perfect!
“Mr. Ai.”
But unfortunately, Kim Sang-min’s hit was a fly to right field. Seeing that I couldn’t play even when I told him, I wonder if I can sympathize with what Mr. Rossby was thinking when he looked at me?
‘Aren’t you running? I think I’ll make it to third base.’
‘Really? It would be better to just hand over the autograph here. Running doesn’t increase the number of stolen bases.’
Since we were aiming for many runs anyway, a second baseman who could deliver a sign appeared. And just like he did to Kim Sang-min, he delivers the autograph to Baek Kyung-ho.
‘It’s a curve.’
‘Okay.’
“Ball.”
Baek Kyung-ho’s at bat started by picking out the first pitch.
Ta – Aak!
It ended with a home run by Baek Kyung-ho, who accurately hit a fastball. Could it be a home run that completely puts a dent in the game?
“Oh, sir! It was great!”
“… Okay, was it okay? “I, too, do this much.”
’10 points in 5 innings. If this is the case, you won’t be so blatantly filtering in the future, right?’
After that, I went to bat once more in the bottom of the 7th inning, but the losing pitcher’s control was completely shaky, and I got a walk,
“Meng Hao, the game is almost over. Let’s take a break.”
“Yes.”
Following the coach’s decision, I walked to the dugout. If you get hit by an empty ball or get injured while playing in a game where the score is over 10 points, it would be a huge loss.
‘Phew, if I do this, I’ll be able to compete properly tomorrow.’

-14:2 Great victory! AT Thunders wins 2nd straight win over NV Rex!
… Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho appeared in 4 at-bats and recorded 3 intentional walks, 1 walk, and 3 runs…
┗LOL The fierce god of defense is so damn good.
┗Wow, AT batting lineup seems to be improving a bit?
┗┗It wasn’t that bad last week?
┗┗The opponents were Hwasan and Hyeonseong, the 1st and 2nd place teams. They are currently the 1st and 2nd ranked team in pitching ability, so of course they are being pushed out
-7:3 Shinseung! AT Thunders sweep in 40 days!
… AT won a sweep thanks to Park Jun-hyung’s excellent pitching, allowing 2 runs in 7 innings… Meanwhile, in this series, the batting lineup, including Ji Maeng-ho, exploded evenly, lightening the shoulders of the pitchers. In particular, at the center was Ji Maeng-ho, who hit 4 home runs and 9 RBIs in Game 1 of the series, 4 walks and 3 runs in Game 2 of the series, and 1 hit and 2 walks, 3 runs, 3 RBIs and 2 stolen bases in 2 at-bats in Game 3 of the series. Recording…
┗ㅋㅋㅋ The fierce god of defense caught me
┗┗He looks angry after being robbed by a volcano haha
┗But the biggest difference in points is the second game where Ji Maeng-ho was skipped haha
┗┗AT batting lineup seems to be slowly improving
┗┗Looking at the runs allowed, it seems like the pitchers are slowly coming up, and it looks like they’ve found some balance now.
┗┗It certainly seems like Choi Jin-cheol was the blood slayer? With Choi Jin-cheol missing, the batting line seems to have improved a bit. Seongtae Yoon is doing well, and Sangmin Kim is also alive
┗┗ ㅅㅂ In the first place, if that bastard Kim Sang-min hadn’t made a mistake in the opening game, he would have been competing for first place
┗┗AT Miracle Run Gaza!!!!!
