[Uh, uh! You can’t do this! Players from both teams face off once again!]

[Ha, actually, starting on Friday, both teams were feeling very bad, right? In that situation, Kim Joo-yeop, the runner on second base, did something unnecessary.]

[Also, with the sand dunes coming out from the start today, the emotions of both teams were intense, right? Fortunately, there is no violence like on Friday, but the argument gets longer.]

“So, what is that!”

“what? bastard!”

“Are you squirming at second base and showing off that you’re stealing signs? Ha, indeed.”

“Do you have any proof? bastard! “Do you have any proof?”

“young? “Am I your bastard?”

“That one? Fuck, is it because it’s a club with no seniors? “The kids are rude.”

“Then that team has a lot of seniors, so did you beat them up? It’s ridiculous, the rookie is swinging his fist? Who is the rude team?”

“… … .”

“Hey, hey. “I didn’t steal your sign!”

“The whole club knows that you guys are stealing signs, but that’s bullshit!”

“Coach! “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Top of the 7th inning, a critical 1:1 situation. Hwasa pitcher Kim Pil-seung raised an issue with the movement of second base runner Kim Joo-yeop, and the two teams faced off. The bench clearing that started again showed signs of dissolving, but began to reignite as the coaches of both teams caught fire.

“hey! “Don’t play baseball like that!”

“[What are you saying, you fucking racist bastard!]”

“Fucking? Lacist? “Who says who is racist?”

“Director, calm down!”

“[Director Sands, you must not do this.]”

“Well, you got kicked out of America and are doing this here. Your life is worth knowing.”

“[What is that bastard saying now?]”

“[That’s an insult. There’s no need to listen to it.]”

“[What did you say, say it quickly! That’s your job!]”

Director Sands became angry and put pressure on the interpreter, and under that pressure, the interpreter had no choice but to tell the story exactly as Director Jeong Cheol-min said.

“[What, getting kicked out? You chinky bastard! Play baseball for the rest of your life! Can I even set foot in America!]”

“Chinky? Are you being racist now? This bastard was a raceist. “What is the afterword?”

Coach Jeong Cheol-min also asked the team’s interpreter what Coach Sands said, and Hwasan’s interpretation relayed the same message.

“이 개새끼가!”

[Uh, uh! This time, the coaches of both teams face off!]

[No, why are directors fighting among themselves! I can’t do this, right?]

Director Jeong Cheol-min, who heard those words, pushed Director Sands, and Director Sands grabbed Director Jeong Cheol-min by the collar.

“hey! hey! “Directors, stop it!”

“Try to stop me!”

[In the end, the referee orders the coaches of both teams to leave. With this, this game has become even more complicated.]

[The game was unfolding in a pitcher’s battle as both teams’ starting pitchers allowed 1 run in 6 innings. It was time for a pitcher replacement, right? The key point of this game will be what kind of pitcher replacement will be made.]

[The situation calms down and the weatherman comes to bat. Swing and miss and strikeout. The weatherman misses this ball.]

[Bohr’s lightning swing! The batted ball flies high! Hit this ball in front of the fence! in front! Caught! Chae Jae-hyun allows 1 run in 7 innings and records a quality start plus!]

In such a chaotic atmosphere, Hwasa’s starting pitcher Chae Jae-hyun pitched well, allowing 1 run in 7 innings, and AT’s starting pitcher Park Jun-hyung took the baton and took the mound.

[Choi Si-woo’s huge home run! Two home runs in a row! Fifth home run this season! Enter your name in the competition for home run king. We are chasing home run leader Ji Maeng-ho by one!]

[In the bottom of the 7th inning, the Volcano Falcons added 1 point with a solo home run. This inning will probably be the last, right?]

[That’s right. 7 innings, 2 runs allowed. We pitched the best game this season, so it’s a little disappointing that we’re on the verge of defeat.]

After clearing the bench, the important thing is how to set the mood. Especially in a close game situation like now, post-game follow-up was more important, and while AT was unable to maintain the opportunity of one out and second base, Hwasan took the lead with Choi Si-woo’s solo home run to control the situation.

And that atmosphere continued until the end of the game, and AT ended up having no choice but to taste the bitter taste of defeat at 2:1. And there were people who went to work even on Sunday to watch the game.

“1 win and 2 losses against Huashan? “It’s such a shame.”

These were the AT Thunders front office staff who were on fire. If it was a normal weekend, only a few people would have come to work in rotation and kept their positions, but now the team is in an emergency situation. Team leader level employees gathered in one place to talk about what happened today.

“hmm… , But it’s not a sweep and it’s a bit difficult to cut, isn’t it?”

“Yes, of course. Still, Director Sands’ actions this time seem to make sense. “It was confirmed that the word ‘chinky’ was used.”

Director Yoon’s expression frowns at the PR team leader’s words. Because racial discrimination was never something to be laughed off.

“under… . How should I report this to my boss? .”

As Director Yoon said that, his eyes turned to Operations Team Leader Cheon So-young, who was listening to the meeting with an expressionless expression and without saying a word.

‘A foreign director is racist. This is a huge blow. ‘I need to find a new manager quickly.’

A professional baseball team is basically a promotional tool for the image of a large company. For AT, a global company, this scandal was fatal.

“Are you sure you made a racist comment?”

“The same goes for the players’ testimonies. The KBA also launched an investigation. “Maybe so.”

“Captain. “Let’s talk about replacing it.”

“… Is that okay? “The penalty must be significant.”

“First, let’s list the coaches who are taking a break. “About two weeks at most.”

“Hmm, if Team Leader Cheon says that, then what?”

As we were deciding on the direction to replace the director, the head of the marketing team, who was checking public opinion, shouted out loud in the conference room.

“Captain! “The article has already been posted?”

“What did it say?”

“Racial discrimination due to assault on seniors, AT Thunders are more polite than baseball. … “The title of the article is a bit provocative.”

“I can’t help it when I hear things like that. under… . Ji Maeng-ho, he was swinging his fist there… .”

Cheon So-young’s eyes became cold as she listened to Director Yoon’s words, but Director Yoon did not notice at all.

“Captain.”

“uh? uh. Team leader Cheon.”

“Please report to the president about the change of director.”

“Me, me? Normally, Team Leader Cheon would do something like this… .”

“I’m sorry that I feel like I’m taking away the leader’s work for no reason.”

“No, it’s not like that at all… .”

“Captain.”

“… “I understand.”

Manager Yoon’s expression distorted once again as he had to speak alone with the president due to an unpleasant matter.

“Team Leader Cheon. “Then shall we publish a rebuttal article?”

“The rebuttal is… , I don’t think that will work. Still, let’s contact reporters who are close to the club and ask them to write articles in the most friendly way possible.”

“All right.”

“Then to Director Sands…” .”

“First of all, I think it would be best to stay still until just before making contact. “There is no need to shake up the players.”

“Then I will do that. “First, contact reporters.”

After the game ended, Coach Sands’ fate was decided.

-[KBA] The racism that covered the ground, what happened in the bench clearing?

ㄴJeong Cheol-min also did it, but it’s just so damn bad for AT lol.

Does it make sense for a foreign worker to be racist while receiving Korean money?

-Sans, just go away, we don’t need a racist director.

ㄴHe’s in last place, he’s terrible at it, and he’s even racist ㄹㅇ He’s a legend this season.

-[KBA] I lost the game and lost my manners! AT Thunders Endless Bog

ㄴThe first thing that started a fight was the volcano….

ㄴㄴIf you’re a kid, you should have won haha.

-It’s really heartwarming to see a team that’s struggling to win.

ㄴIt’s a race for first place in the Hell League?

ㄴThis is Kosi of Darkness.

-I feel embarrassed that I have supported a team like this for 20 years.

You might lose the game. I might not be able to play baseball. But things like hitting a senior or being racially discriminatory. I really regret seeing you like this.

Yes. Don’t cheer.

ㄴWe don’t need fans like you either.

-If Ji Maeng-ho were there today, it would have been worth seeing.

ㄴㄹㅇ Looks like the director is going to be blown away haha.

Siemens… I miss you… Are you watching from the sky?

-Hwasan director Jeong Cheol-min, “Director Sands’ racism is embarrassing. “This is an act of ignoring Korean baseball.”

… … In the top of the 7th inning, when the game was 1:1, a situation occurred. An argument between second base runners Kim Joo-yeop and Kim Pil-seung led to bench clearing. Kim Pil-seung claimed that second base runner Kim Joo-yeop saw the catcher’s sign and passed it on to the batter… … … , and eventually even the coaches of both teams faced off. While they were arguing, AT Thunders coach Sands was found to have called Hwasan Falcons coach Jeong Cheol-min a “chinky” comment, sparking controversy. … … (syncopation)… … . It is known that the KBA Rewards and Punishments Committee plans to impose a stern warning and a fine of 2 million won on Coach Sands.

ㄴI’m really embarrassed that this guy is the director.

A petition was submitted to the Blue House. Hwasan fans, please come and sign one by one.

ㄴThis is why you shouldn’t use foreign workers haha.

But didn’t Jeong Cheol-min also discriminate against racism on Friday? The atmosphere is so different

ㄴㄴIt’s Yang Bi-ron again.

ㄴWe boycott AT, a racist company.

That’s why I don’t use AT phones either.

“[I don’t want to be in this stupid country anymore.]”

“[Director, then… .]”

“[Mason, get ready too. I think it’s time to return to my hometown.]”

“[…] All right.]”

“[This is not an escape. I don’t think this country is ready to accept advanced baseball yet.]”

Bench clearing, sending off, and criticism from the media. In particular, criticism from the media shook Director Sands’ mind. Hwasan’s coach also made a similar statement, but he, a foreigner, was the only one who received intense media fire. Director Sands felt this was national racism.

“[I miss my family. Mason. I’ve been here too long.]”

“[So do i. After all, living in a foreign country is difficult. But is it okay to go like this?]”

Director Sands didn’t want to stay here any longer.

“[Well, how is it? It’s not a place I’ll come back to anyway. I’ve just been wasting time over the past three years.]”

Although he would not receive compensation for the remaining salary, money was not what was important to Director Sands. The reason I came to Korea in the first place was to build a career that would take me to the major leagues. However, looking at the team’s situation, it seemed obvious that he would be left with the stain of being in last place for the first time in his life.

“[Tsk, if I had known it would be like this, I would have quit last year… .]”

The team’s situation is falling off a cliff and the media is of low quality. There were no more regrets.

“[I’ll also tell Coach Smith.]”

“[Okay, let’s start over with the NCAA. Because this country cannot contain us.]”

At a time when the AT Thunders’ front office was contemplating to fire Coach Sands, AT’s foreign coaches, including Coach Sands, were preparing to run away at night.
