Chapter 778 – Episode 765. A Pitcher’s Grave? (1)

“Kwaaaaa at my legs! My legs!!”

Ugh, I can’t fucking hit this…

It was very disappointing to see him rolling on the floor, clutching his legs like this.

‘Hehe, rolling on the floor looks good on you. After all, bastards are better at this than baseball.’

‘Mr. Rossby too… People are hurting.’

‘People?’

‘Ugh…’

‘But it’s a strange thing. I can’t believe you care about the guy who got hurt. Has the gorilla finally learned the human mind?’

‘It’s not like that, I should have hit him directly, it’s such a shame. This bastard needs to be beat up directly. There’s nothing I can do if I’m lying down and rolling around like this.’

‘…’

As I was squatting down next to the guy who was rolling around like that and talking to Mr. Rossby, Volpi came up and spoke to me.

“Hey, Ji! Are you okay? “Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine…”

“Oops. It’s completely broken.”

Volpi, who checked the condition of the guy lying down, frowned as if he saw something he couldn’t see. It was definitely not a good thing to see. Furthermore, it looks like a bone is sticking out.

‘Ai, that’s gross.’

As someone with a tender heart, it was difficult to keep watching that scene, so I turned my head to check my surroundings and saw Detroit coaches running towards me and an ambulance coming in from afar.

‘Anyway, this bastard is a no-brainer and causes trouble to many people by strangely tackling him for no reason.’

While I was inwardly cursing the fallen guy, Coach Mattingly approached me and spoke to me.

“Ji! For now, let’s leave today’s game to this point. It looks like a big shock…”

“Yes? Am I okay?”

“No. Something like this happened, and even if my body was fine, it couldn’t have taken a toll on me mentally. For now, get your mind together.”

He seemed worried that I might have been shocked by this. It was really nice, but the hand waving here seemed odd, so I accepted Mattingly’s favor. When I returned to the bench with Mattingly, Mattingly opened his mouth again.

“Ji, you know those guys have been a little strange since yesterday, right? Let’s take a break from this series. I think we can just say that you hurt your ankle when you landed.”

“You don’t have to go that far…”

“Hmm… Even if it wasn’t intentional, a player was taken away two days in a row… Maybe empty balls will keep flying at you. That’s better than getting hurt for no reason.”

It seemed like he was wary that the situation would get more serious.

Well, it wasn’t an incomprehensible judgment. Even if today’s incident was caused by an unexpected accident and the opponent started it first, I could have provoked the opponent if I continued to stand on the ground in this situation.

In that case, other players could get hurt.

“Well, if you decided that way.”

“… But it wasn’t intentional, right?”

“… Of course.”

“… I see. I get it. For now, rest in the locker room today.”

I felt a bit resentful because it seemed like he didn’t believe me when I said it wasn’t intentional, but I held back my resentment and went into the locker room.

‘Ah, fuck. I was the only one who was suspected because of that idiot.’

New York Yankees win 6:4 over Detroit Tigers!

… After the clash between Badu and Ji Meng-ho, the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium became chaotic, but it was the Yankees who calmed down first. … Judge and Soto each had 2 RBIs…

┗Wow, I saw Badu injured, and it was terrible

┗┗It’s unfortunate that he got hurt, but it seems like Badu went too far into the tackle.

┗Is Fierce Tiger God okay? Even Meng Tiger was replaced right away?

┗┗I think you hurt your ankle? There was an article saying that it might not come out tomorrow

┗Hmm… I guess you didn’t step on it on purpose?

┗┗Ah, no matter how fierce the god of defense is, how can he predict a runner coming in like that? This seems like just an accident.

-Badou is out for the season due to a fractured shinbone.

… The unfortunate accident occurred in the top of the 5th inning, when the game was still tense. Badu, who produced a double hit, ran to second base, and when Badu’s deep tackle went in, Ji Maeng-ho avoided the tackle and landed…

┗I hope there are no serious injuries…

┗In heaven, I hope you transfer to the Yankees

┗┗Are you kidding me when something like this happens? A person got hurt

┗Wow, I watched the video, and it was really terrible

┗But honestly, isn’t it a good idea to be self-employed? I heard the tackle was too blatant

┗┗ㄹㅇㅋㅋ It’s not because I’m Korean, but if Maeng Ho-shin hadn’t reacted to that, I think Maeng Ho-shin would have been out of the season

-Detroit, “MLB Secretariat must investigate Ji Maeng-ho!”

… Meanwhile, Detroit, which had two players out for the season due to unexpected injuries in two games, requested an investigation into whether Ji Maeng-ho’s actions were intentional…

┗LOL He got injured while playing bass and got injured while making a killing tackle, and DEET is so shameless.

┗┗But I think I’m going to be upset haha. We’re fighting for first place on the planet, but the starting second baseman and left fielder are out due to injury, so the country is probably going to be upset as well

┗When I go to Detroit, I think I will have to wear a bulletproof vest haha

┗┗ㄹㅇ If you go to Detroit, won’t you get shot? Haha, isn’t the security there a mess?

-MLB Secretariat, “Ji Maeng-ho, it doesn’t seem intentional.”

… Meanwhile, the MLB Secretariat said, “It is unfortunate that two players were injured, but after investigating, we did not find any intentionality in Ji Maeng-ho’s play.” … According to the secretariat, Keith’s injury was an unfortunate accident in which his foot got caught between the base and the tackle during a normal sliding process, and Badu’s injury occurred while avoiding a sliding tackle…

Detroit Tigers’ outfielder Green strongly criticized Ji Maeng-ho, saying, “Dirty play that forgot the spirit of teamwork.” However, in one community in the United States, the mainstream opinion is that although it is unfortunate that he was injured, Badu’s tackle may have gone abnormally deep. It seems to be.

Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho is not responding in any way to Green’s criticism…

┗It certainly didn’t seem intentional, neither the sliding nor the landing.

┗But from what I saw, it looks like Badu was trying to make a fierce warrior and got the reverse. Haha,

┗┗Honestly, Badu’s tackle was deep haha

┗┗I think American kids felt the same way?

┗ㅋㅋ I watched 150 years of baseball there, so of course I noticed it

┗It’s not like the fierce god didn’t dip it once or twice, and it doesn’t react to things like that haha

┗┗If you’re a fierce protector, you’ll probably forget everything and just have sex at home.

-Ji Maeng-ho, ankle injury, “I will take a break for one game and see how it progresses.”

… Meanwhile, Coach Mattingly said, “Yesterday, I received a report that I felt something wrong with my ankle during the landing process. In addition, because something big happened, we decided to take a break for Ji Maeng-ho in today’s game in order to manage the player’s mentality.”

On this day, the Yankees had Volpi (shortstop), Judge (left fielder), Verdugo (right fielder), Stanton (designated hitter), Kelnick (center fielder), Ohapi (catcher), Vientos (third baseman), Sujeisi (first baseman), and Scantlebury (second baseman). This is the starting lineup.

┗Ha, only the fierce god is absent for no reason because of one asshole ㅅㅂ

┗┗ And the harsh criticism ㄷㄷ, the player was injured ㅅㅂ

┗┗If you have a mental breakdown and your grades go downhill, that bastard will take responsibility, right? Honestly, getting hurt like that is a nuisance to the opposing player as well

┗┗This is a serious review haha

-Detroit wins 5:1 over the Yankees!

… Detroit won against the Yankees thanks to Olson’s 6.2 innings of 1-run pitching and Green’s three runs…

┗Wow, those DEET bastards are disgusting. They soaked it so that it couldn’t show up as fierce warriors and won the game haha

┗┗If anyone sees it, they’ll think we’re the ones who did it. We’re the ones who got injured.

┗┗But isn’t it true that they got hurt because of their mistake? Injured while hitting the base, injured while making a murderous tackle. You guys are the perpetrators

┗If only the fierce god of defense had appeared, we would have won ㄲㅂ

-Triple Crown Challenger Ji Maeng-ho! Heading to the pitcher’s grave!

… Meanwhile, the match between the New York Yankees and Colorado Rockies is attracting attention.

Coors Field, the home stadium of the Colorado Rookies, is notorious as a graveyard for pitchers, and Woodruff, who won the NL Cy Young Award by pitching 210.2 innings in 31 games in 2025 and recording an ERA of 2.09 and 18 wins and 3 losses, is a pitcher this season. He signed a four-year contract worth $180 million, but recorded an ERA of 3.78 in 81 innings while using Coors Field as his home…

Currently, with a batting average of .403, 38 home runs and 84 RBIs, Ji Maeng-ho, who is likely to achieve the Triple Crown in 15 years since Miguel Cabrera in 2012, will perform at ‘Coors Field’, which is called the graveyard of pitchers…

┗If you are a fierce defender, if you hit it at Coors, it would be a home run haha

┗┗Because it’s 3 games, I think I’ll hit about 10 home runs haha

Ta – Aak!

“Wow…”

The batting ball pitcher opened his mouth wide at the batted ball that seemed to have flown about 160 meters.

Of course, I was equally surprised.

‘Wow, it doesn’t seem like I hit it very hard, but it flies all the way there? Is this Coors Field?’

Although I didn’t know much about major league stadiums, I knew to some extent that Coors Field was an extremely hitter-friendly stadium, and I was a little dizzy to see such good distance. Does it feel like you can hit a home run just by timing it right? No, even if the timing was wrong, the taste of the mulberry that went over the fence was enough to drive people crazy.

‘Fuck, should I have gone to Colorado?’

‘Tsk, if I had used this stadium as my home, Ruth would have been at my feet.’

‘I would like to refute it if possible, but it seems like it really was like that. Wow, the ball just goes straight out?’

Coors Field was such a perfect hitter-friendly stadium that even Mr. Rossby expressed his disappointment over not being able to play in this stadium.

‘If you came here, wouldn’t you have hit 100 home runs?’

‘That’s right. I never imagined it would be like this. Tsk.’

For a moment, I regretted coming to the Yankees because I felt like I could really hit 100 home runs if I used this kind of stadium as my home, but I quickly erased the regret from my mind because I didn’t think my rating would increase if I used this illegal stadium.

As I came out of the cage after batting practice, feeling the air of Coors Field, Judge, who had been waiting for his turn, approached me.

“Ji, you look in good condition? Looks like you’ve managed it well. Yes, there are accidents like this when playing baseball.”

From what I was saying, it seemed like Judge was under the illusion that I was shocked because I broke my leg. Well, in the last game against Detroit, out of consideration for Mattingly, he didn’t come to work, so it wasn’t particularly strange to have this misconception.

“Yes, that’s right. “It happened during the game.”

Of course, there was no need to correct Judge’s illusion, so I nodded at what he said.

“Yes, hitters like us have to relieve ourselves by banging like this. Even if I’m not feeling well, everything gets better when I come to Coors Field. It’s a shame I can’t come next year.”

“Why can’t you come next year?”

“We take turns traveling home every year with National League teams. Until a few years ago, interleague…”

“Oh, Judge, we need to train quickly. Jason is waiting.”

“Ah. Anyway, it was an unfortunate accident, so don’t worry too much about it. His expression was dark the entire time, but he told me to shake it all off in this series. Haha.”

I quickly cut off because I thought Judge’s talk was going to be long. He patted my shoulder and comforted me, as if he was still worried about me. The reason my expression was dark was just because I was tired from having sex so much yesterday, but Judge seemed to think I was going through some kind of trauma.

‘It certainly seems like the person is okay.’

With that in mind, let’s watch Judge’s batting for a few minutes.

Ta – Aak!

Ta – Aak!

Judge also seems to hit lightly, but most of the balls he hits are well over 150 m.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Jersey that boasted such incredible distance. Both Soto and Stanton made batted balls that went over as soon as they were hit, and Stanton even made a batted ball that flew almost 170 meters.

“Fuck. I can’t believe I have to throw the ball again in this stupid stadium…”

Although he felt sorry for today’s starter, Gerrit Cole, his heart began to flutter at the thought of burying Colorado’s pitchers in the pitcher’s grave.
