episode_0157
by fnovelpia“hey! Ji Maengho! “Where are you going?”
The moment the top of the first inning ended and I was about to put on my gear and walk to the plate, Kim Su-ho called me.
“yes? “At bat?”
“Are you out of your mind? “You’re number 2 today.”
“Oh right.”
The lineup changed today, right? I guess I got too used to hitting number 1 because I kept hitting it number 1. Is this what muscle memory is? Since I wasn’t conscious of it, my body naturally went to the plate. Even unconsciously, this obsession with getting to bat. I was scared of myself too.
‘It’s just that I wasn’t concentrating.’
I ignored Rossby’s ridiculous tackle and headed to the waiting box. It’s something new since I’ve been at bat since the first inning. I also liked this episode. If I went in as the leadoff hitter in the first inning, I would lose money because I wouldn’t be able to see many pitches.
No matter how much you watch old videos through power analysis, the pitcher’s pitch changes depending on the condition of the day. It was also good to get the timing right by seeing it with my eyes.
‘But why did they suddenly change the batting order?’
I don’t know if he was trying to revamp the atmosphere or if he had some other intention in mind, but Coach Lee Soo-hyun changed the batting order as soon as he took office. What was fixed was the top batting order and cleanup trio. The lower batting order changed sometimes, but numbers 1 to 6 were fixed, so it was something new.
-AT Thunders! Batter number 1, Kim~ Suho!
The table setter starts with Kim Su-ho and continues with me. I think they chose this batting order because I have slugging power and Kim Su-ho has a good on-base percentage, so I moved Choi Jin-cheol up to number 4 and Boer down to number 5. It seemed like they were conscious of Boer’s poor scoring record.
Since Boer is suddenly in the scoring position, it is only natural to adjust the batting order. Personally, I thought it would have been a good idea to lower the bore further and raise the right tube type, but perhaps because the right tube type was old, I didn’t think I was going to raise it as a cleanup.
-Get a hit! AT Kim! number! like! Give me a hit! A! T! seaweed! number! like! Fly~ Fly~ Fly~ Fly~! AT Kim Su-ho!
Kim Su-ho’s cheering song resonates loudly today as well. Kim Su-ho’s cheering song was loud whenever he heard it, perhaps because he was the player who led AT’s batting line and struggled while Woo Gwan-hyung was sluggish. And Kim Su-ho’s cheering song always rang out almost to the end.
“Base on balls!”
The reason is, of course, because of Kim Su-ho’s batting style, which allows him to hit at least 4 balls.
‘My fastball is in the mid to upper 140s, I didn’t throw my slider, and my curveball control is a bit poor. Is it because it’s the 1st episode?’
And thanks to Kim Su-ho’s batting style, I was able to see the ball plenty of times. hmm… . The changeup is his strength, but when he faced Kim Su-ho, he didn’t throw the changeup. Is there something wrong with blocking the change-up against left-handed hitters?
What did they say during the power analysis… ?
-‘Baek In-hyuk is an orthodox right-hander. Everyone knows this, right? Last year, we didn’t perform well against Baek In-hyuk. Do you know why? Yes, as Kwan Hyeong said, Baek In-hyuk’s changeup has improved to a high level since last year. However, if you are conscious of the change-up, keep in mind that it is difficult to get good results and go to bat, okay? ‘Be aware, but don’t pay attention.’
I remember what the coach said during today’s power analysis. I’m not sure what it means to be conscious but not pay attention, but because I felt it, I knew what the director was asking for.
“hello.”
“… … .”
Is it because you suffered a lot from me yesterday? They don’t even greet me. Well, it wasn’t anything new since it was normal for umpires to not accept it, but it was funny that the catcher, who was muttering something yesterday, kept his mouth shut.
‘Well, that’s what happened to me yesterday. It won’t be easy to clean your mouth again.’
He shook the pitcher with a stolen base and even hit a timely hit with 3 RBIs. It was obvious that the catcher was sick of it. Hmm… . Shall we shake it a little?
“You could see the cheek combination yesterday, but did you change it up a bit today?”
“… … .”
The sound of the catcher’s face turning red could be heard up to here. I was curious about the catcher’s expression, but seeing the catcher at bat was a taboo in the baseball world, so I decided to hold back.
‘Fastball, low.’
“Hmm, is it a fastball?”
“strike!”
“If you knew, wouldn’t you have hit me?”
“Hey, if I wait a little longer, a better ball will come, so why am I hitting it? Haha, don’t you know that either?”
“This bastard… .”
Dude, you’re so angry. The fastball didn’t look much different from what it looked like from the outside. I was a little angry that they caught a low ball, but I thought that was because it was still my first at-bat and I wasn’t sure where the umpire’s strike zone was.
‘Slider, outside.’
“You’re going to throw a slider, right? I have to filter it. “It’s obvious, it’s obvious.”
From the moment the pitcher catches the ball and takes the set position until the ball comes into the mitt, he speaks like a rapper.
“cheek.”
“Wow, that was a real slider.”
“Just shut up and do it.”
“Hey, we’re not enemies, so we can talk about it.”
The time it takes to mix balls becomes longer. Looks like you’re worried.
“I didn’t have good control of the curve earlier. Is it about fastball today? “I just have to hit it when it comes into the zone.”
‘curve. low’
“Surely you won’t throw me a curveball for saying this? Well, how could you become a pro with a ball combination like that? Right?”
“cheek.”
“Oh, fuck! “What are you doing?”
“Oh, sorry. Talking to myself is a habit. But don’t swear, right?”
“Is this guy crazy? Did you eat too much rice? “Let’s go quietly.”
‘Fastball, towards the body. be careful.’
I just scratch it a little and it sticks to my body right away.
“Surely you won’t throw a threatening ball by attaching it to your body just because it’s like this? “It really doesn’t seem like it.”
The pitcher had a grip, but was not making a pitching motion. Do you change your sign? Well, if you hit it four times in a row, your head will break, right? Even though I thought he was stealing signs, I couldn’t help but think that the runner was on first base and the catcher was really an obvious ball mixer.
Moreover, catcher is a position that the creature is proud of. If there is a class in baseball, the catcher class is a slave class that everyone avoids. It was a position he couldn’t play without at least the pride of controlling the game with his ball combination. Being able to read ball combinations to such catchers is a situation worse than death.
‘Change-up. Outside.’
Throwing a changeup to the outside means pretending to go outside and then coming in to catch a strike. Since it was a two-ball, one-strike situation, the intention was to throw it across the border line and into the zone as much as possible.
‘Good? With this, I can also see changeups.’
Just by stimulating the catcher, he can reveal his hidden changeup. How can it be this cost-effective?
“If you hit me right, I’ll really run.”
Just in case, I planted the idea in the catcher’s head that I was conscious of the ball inside me. There is more to the game than just this at-bat. The pitcher assumes a set position. And he throws in his boastful change-up.
Perfect!
-Wow!
The batted ball passed the second baseman’s height and landed in front of right field. Kim Su-ho, who was a runner on first base, reached second base. Although it was a hit, it wasn’t particularly satisfying.
‘Fuck, what the fuck?’
No matter how I adjusted it, it went further out than I expected. If it was the changeup seen in the video, it should have rolled inward, but it didn’t feel that way at all. Is this why the changeup was sealed? I thought that if I had known this would happen, I would have endured it.
But it suddenly occurred to me that scratching the catcher like this might not be a bad thing. JT’s battery today didn’t seem to have any intention of throwing a change-up, but since I was talking as if I was conscious of the inside ball and made an outside change-up into a hit, it seemed like it would be quite burdensome to throw a change-up today.
‘Your head is spinning quite a bit, isn’t it? It looks like we’ve reached the level of pseudo-humans now.’
‘Oh, well, I played baseball for 10 years. ‘I think about this.’
Plus, I was pretty smart on the baseball team to begin with. That’s because Rossby doesn’t believe it.
“It was a good hit. It’s Meng Hao. “What did you hit?”
“It’s a changeup. But, the change is weaker than expected? Today’s changeup is really bad. I think there’s a reason I didn’t throw it to Suho. “At this level, it will be difficult for left-handed hitters to compete, right?”
“Okay, I understand.”
I told the first base coach who approached me what I felt at the plate.
-Hit No. 3! Ki~! Sangju!
-Wow!
And the situation with no outs on first and second base. When Ki Ki-joo came to bat, the cheers rang out loud enough for Jamsil to leave. It wasn’t like this yesterday, but I don’t know if it was because they won yesterday or because it was the first day after the coach changed, but the excitement in Jamsil today was amazing.
And as the heat of Jamsil grew, the battle between the batter and the pitcher began to heat up, and Ki Ki-ju swung his bat at a full count.
widely!
‘Fucked!’
From the sound, it’s a ground ball. I quickly ran towards second base.
“first!”
“out!”
Fortunately, the batting speed was slow so runners Kim Soo-ho and I were able to survive, but batter Ki Ki-ju was out. 1st and 2nd bases with no outs became 2nd and 3rd bases with 1 out. Still, the situation is better than before for scoring. Unless it’s a ground ball in front of the pitcher or a shallow outfield fly, 1 point is scored. Choi Jin-cheol came to bat.
‘Jincheol, try flying one!’
“Base on balls!”
But JT’s battery did not go down easily. A thorough external competition. Since yesterday, a thorough strategy to give Boer the right to score was visible. With one out and bases loaded. The batsman is Boer, who has moved down to number 5.
‘under… . If so, would 1st or 2nd base be better? Look, I’m not even expecting a hit, so let’s just hit an outfield fly!’
please… !
Perfect! High-floating direction. Ringing shouts and sighs.
-Wow!
-ah… … .
The shouts come from the third base side, and the sighs come from the first base side. As Boer’s batted ball floated high in the infield, the shortstop easily caught the ball. Now Woo Kwan-hyung comes in with bases loaded and 2 outs.
‘… If I can’t hit it here, I’ll miss the mark, right?’
‘Are you doing Baseball One Today? of course.’
1st and 2nd bases with no outs turned into 2 outs and bases loaded. If Baek In-hyuk couldn’t score at least one point here, Baek In-hyuk’s momentum would naturally increase, and there was a high possibility that Janson, who had been looking forward to it, would be thrown back to the ground. That means the possibility of losing the game increases.
I haven’t felt the difference since I’ve been on a losing streak these days, but I realized something when I won yesterday and had sex with Soyoung. Soyoung becomes sexier and more active when she wins a game. I want to taste active Soyoung again today. And today is Soyoung’s first game as the newly hired coach. How tired will she be? Just thinking about it made my mouth water. So I wanted to win!
‘Fuck, what was the cause of death?’
Was the fastball two fingers long? There were three breaking balls. That’s right… ?
‘Mr. Rossby. ‘What’s the cause of death?’
‘huh? why? ‘Steal a base when you’re full?’
‘no. I’m on second base, and if I want to win, I have to do it as long as I can.’
‘First of all, it was a fastball.’
If it’s a fastball, two fingers. I subtly put two fingers on my lap so that Woo Kwan-hyung could see them.
‘… … ?’
I make eye contact with Woo Kwan-hyung. I turned my eyes and looked down. It means look at my knees. Fortunately, Woo Gwan-hyung hasn’t suffered from presbyopia yet, as I see his finger resting on his lap according to my intention.
Please, trust me.
Woo Gwan-hyeong’s expression of doubt. Since JT used a new cause of death this week, power analysts said that JT’s cause of death was uncertain, so Woo Gwan-hyeong did not seem to believe my cause of death.
‘Have some faith!’
“cheek.”
The fastball is sucked into the catcher’s mitt. Fortunately, the referee’s decision was ball. But after getting hit once, I felt something different in the way Woo Kwan-hyung looked at me.
‘curve.’
‘okay.’
When I put three fingers on my knees, Woo Kwan-hyung trusted me and threw a breaking ball. See the results. With two, Woo Kwan-hyung would have been convinced by now, right? There is a big difference between believing and being confident, and in baseball, that difference determines whether it is a hit or a bad hit. In baseball, things can change by 0.1 second or 0.1 cm, but this difference was enormous.
‘Change ball.’
“cheek.”
In that way, Baek In-hyuk was in a three-ball situation and had to be placed in the zone. There, what JT’s battery chose was the fastball that the pitcher threw the most and was most confident about.
‘Fastball.’
‘I get it.’
It feels like we can hear each other’s feelings. Woo Gwan-hyeong’s confident swing split the ball thrown by the pitcher like a thunderbolt.
Ta – evil!
A light hitting sound, a hitting ball flying like a clothesline. Direction is the right fence. result… .
-Wow!!!!!
-Woo Kwan-hyung! Woo Gwan-hyung! Woo Gwan-hyung!
Grand slam home run. Jamsil was filled with cheers.
“and! Kwan-hyung, have you rejuvenated? What medicine are you taking these days? “What happened from yesterday?”
“Senior Kwan-hyung, I’m tired!”
“Bitch, what are you talking about?”
“Thank you, Mr. right.”
And the dugout got as hot as the stands. They only gave up 3 points in the first inning, but they turned things around in the very next attack, so it was impossible not to get hot.
And my dick seemed to get hot in anticipation of what kind of fun Soyoung would show today.
