“Look at the weather. “It’s musty.”

In the fourth week of June, the weather was hot and the humidity was quite high, perhaps because it was the beginning of summer.

“The weather is so hot.”

“Hyung, isn’t it hotter in Busan?”

“What do you say. What better place to live than Busan? “Have you never been to Busan?”

“What are you talking about? I resigned a few times. … ah! Fuck! “This spy is excited to be with Charlotte again.”

“Fuck! “I’m not a spy!”

Seongtae Yoon strongly denied it, but it was a meaningless denial to me as I already knew that he was Charlotte’s spy.

‘Should I tell the director to remove Seongtae Yoon?’

“mind! “What strange thing are you thinking about?”

“I didn’t think it was strange.”

“… “I think you did it?”

A quick-witted bastard. I ignored Seongtae Yoon and walked towards the air conditioner installed in the dugout. Players were already gathered in front of the air conditioner.

“It looks like it will be canceled today due to rain. Would you like to have a drink for the first time in a while?”

“Hey, wouldn’t that work? “I don’t think it’s that much?”

“Isn’t it raining yet?”

“Oh, is Meng Hao here?”

“Hey, the youngest ones have gotten better these days. “The youngest is coming to get some air conditioning.”

When my senior laughed and told a joke, I walked closer to the air conditioner and joked as well.

“Senior, I’m the only one with the skills, right?”

“Wow, you unlucky bastard.”

“Yes, if you look at his skills alone, Meng Hao is the best. hey! “Maengho, please give me some space so I can get some air conditioning.”

“Then I’ll just get some air.”

As the cold air from the air conditioner hit my body directly, I felt like I could survive.

“Meng Hao.”

While I was enjoying the air from the air conditioner, Woo Kwan-hyung spoke to me.

“yes.”

“It might rain during today’s game, so be careful. “Infielders have to be especially careful.”

“Hey, senior. Do not worry. “I’m Ji-maeng-hope.”

Would it make any difference if it rained? I ignored Woo Gwan-hyeong’s words without notice. After that, I spent a few minutes chatting with my seniors. A loud voice came from behind.

“there! there! The starting pitcher comes in. “Get out of the way!”

Park Jun-hyung, the mood maker of the pitching team, was massaging today’s starting pitcher Kim Chan-young’s shoulders and dragging him toward the front of the air conditioner.

“Ah, bro, I’m really fine.”

“Hey, Chanyoung. “The starters should be in air conditioning.”

In a baseball stadium, the starting pitcher is king. The batters, including myself, gave up our seats for today’s starting pitcher, Kim Chan-young.

“Senior Chanyoung. Since I gave up my seat, I need to throw well today. “I will believe it.”

“hey! Someone stop Ji Maeng-ho’s mouth! “What kind of pressure are you putting on the starting pitcher?”

“Hey, this is a huge burden. I’m not asking you to play a perfect game. Senior Chanyoung. Just give up 4 runs in 5 innings as usual. “I’ll give you 5 points.”

“hey! Where has Seongtae Yoon gone? “Tell Seongtae Yoon to bring this bastard out!”

“Haha, bro, I’m okay. It’s Meng Hao. “I’ll try to throw better today.”

Hmm… , It looks really weak. It’s because the pitcher doesn’t have this much spirit. Among the five players in our team’s starting rotation, the pitcher who seemed the weakest was Kim Chan-young, the fifth starter.

First of all, physically, he was not very tall, around 180 cm tall, and his body was a bit like an anchovy style. In addition, he was not mentally strong, but there were unusual cases where he pitched well and then suddenly collapsed in one inning and gave up the game.

‘I hope it doesn’t collapse today… .’

It was our first home game in a long time as we had been away to Masan, Daegu, and Gwangju back to back. That’s why I wanted to win today’s game.

‘Well, I’m sure it will take care of itself.’

… That’s what I was thinking before the game.

*

[Today’s game is unusual from the beginning, isn’t it?]

[Shortstop Seongtae Yoon’s throwing error! In the top of the second inning, the Charlotte Blue Mariners take the lead. The score is 1:0.]

-Is it already starting? What is a mistake lol That’s a mistake lol

I think I’m possessed by a ghost. Where should I apologize?

-Oh, fuck, Seongtae Yoon, that guy seems to have good defense, but he gets distracted sometimes.

ㄴㄹㅇ The defense war is high, but it feels bad.

ㄴㄴSeongtae has a wide range, so that bastard’s defense range is at the same level as Ji Maeng-ho’s, so he makes a lot of mistakes because he tries to catch everyone.

-Oh, I’m screwed. Kim Chan-young That bastard is going to be shaken again.

ㄴㅅㅂ. Where was Kang Hee-seok? Kang Hee-seok still had good defense.

no? Are you comparing Kang Hee-seok and Yoon Seong-tae? Seongtae Yoon already has 8 home runs at .277.

ㄴㄴ I want to kill all the fucking mammam cubs ㅅ ㅂ I can go to baseball this season.

Because of those idiots, you haven’t even been able to go to fall baseball games for 20 years, right?

The match between AT Thunders and Charlotte Blue Mariners opened with an error by Seongtae Yoon. Fans watching the game were enjoying the familiar feel of the game between AT and Charlotte, which had been a long time coming.

– Haha Ji Maeng-ho, look at this bastard glaring at Yoon Seong-tae haha.

ㄴㅇㅅㅁㅅ

ㄴㄹㅇ That guy doesn’t seem to be on the team or a senior or anything lol.

-Still, he’s a good band, but his personality is like an assholeㅡㅡ

-Did you just see Ji Maeng-ho’s expression? It’s disappointing to see that expression on your face just because you made a mistake.

ㄴI just happened to be photographed with that expression on my face, so please don’t criticize the player with a screenshot.

-Facial expression looking at a colleague who made a mistake.gif

(Ji Maeng-ho glares at Yoon Seong-tae, who is making a dumb expression after making a mistake.)

Hahahaha so fucking funny hahaha

The facial expressions are so realistic hahahaha

Fuck you, Seongtae! The defense was good in the 2nd team!!!!

Wow, pros make mistakes like this haha, it’s at leisure level haha.

ㄴMaybe it’s a striped volcano class hahahaha

Ji Maeng-ho’s facial expression was captured looking at Yoon Seong-tae, who made a mistake, as if he were trash, and the baseball community was a little on fire. Many fans debated the facial expression Ji Maeng-ho made. Fans who shielded Ji Maeng-ho countered that it was simply a capture of the moment, but the truth of the incident was that most fans looked at it like trash, as they expected.

‘You spy, here we go again.’

“… “Part of it is that he’s a kid!”

Yun Seong-tae denied Ji Maeng-ho’s cold eyes, but he couldn’t change Ji Maeng-ho’s mind.

“Brother, but isn’t it really strange?”

“What again?”

“When I play with other teams, I don’t often make mistakes, but I only make mistakes when I play with Charlotte.”

“… “He is my child.”

“I guess so.”

And the game resumed. This time, the batted ball flew towards Yoon Seong-tae. Seongtae Yoon, who had been leaning toward second base due to the left-handed batter’s shift, flew toward the batted ball this time. However, the runner on first base is already close to second base.

‘If you pull it out by hand, it’s too late!’

After making his decision in 0.1 second, Seongtae Yoon opened his glove and threw the ball toward second base. Although it went in the opposite direction, it was a throw that went exactly right. And before I knew it, Ji Maeng-ho was already waiting at second base.

“out!”

“first!”

“out!”

[This time, shortstop side! Seongtae Yoon! Super catch! Toss with your glove! Catch Ji Maeng-ho! 2nd base out! Out at first base! AT Thunders’ keystone combination that creates a double play with fantastic play!]

[ah! Seongtae Yoon! I canceled the decision. In fact, isn’t Ji Maeng-ho famous for his athletic ability? However, if you listen to club officials, it is said that Yoon Seong-tae also has very good athletic ability.]

-Major league level defense that just exploded.gif

What is it? Is this kind of defense available in Korea?

ㄴIt comes out sometimes haha.

Huh? Isn’t this guy the guy who came up earlier?

Yes, that’s right

-Why are these kids’ performances such a roller coaster?

ㄴStill not sure? You’re so cool haha

AT Thunders got two outs when Seongtae Yoon’s decision was canceled. But the game started now.

“cheek!”

“cheek!”

“cheek!”

“Base on balls!”

At the time when the AT players were thinking about blocking the next batter due to Kim Chan-young walking with no runners on two outs, one or two drops of rain were falling.

[A runner is out with two outs. Now with two outs and a runner on first base.]

[Kim Chan-young, the pitch he showed in the top of the first inning was quite good, so he just needs to forget about the first run he gave up due to an error and just throw like he does now.]

[See again! Kim Chan-young threw the ball five times in a row. Is it in bad condition? It appears that the zero point is not correct.]

[well… . Looking at his pitching form and velocity, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.]

[Kim Chan-young’s ball goes towards the body! I ended up adjusting it. A ball that fits your body! The Charlotte Blue Mariners are on base again.]

[Uhm, the ball fell out of my hand.]

[Kim Chan-young takes off his hat and hands out an apple. Yang Chan-woo signs that he is okay.]

Perhaps because he was shaken after a mistake, Kim Chan-young was not in control at all. And the 9th batter, shortstop Lee Ji-hoon, came to the plate.

[Lee Ji-hoon’s score is .204.3. 17 stolen bases. He is a very difficult hitter when on base.]

The AT Thunders infield became tense with the appearance of Lee Ji-hoon, who is not good at batting but is known for his quick legs.

Tick.

Jihoon Lee hit a surprise bunt from the first pitch.

“My ball!”

“I’ll catch it!”

However, perhaps because the bunt was too sudden, Lee Ji-hoon’s bunt ended up high. A pitcher and catcher running at a high ball.

“Catcher! “Brother Yun Cheol!”

Third baseman Kim Su-ho, who was watching the situation, shouted for the catcher to catch him, but Kim Chan-young, who had already given up a walk and a base hit, did not hear him.

‘I have to solve it.’

Kim Chan-young stretched out his gloved hand to catch the ball. And the familiar grip feeling inside the glove.

[Uh, uh. Pitcher and catcher!]

And an unfamiliar shock came over Kim Chan-young’s body. The body of catcher Jeong Yun-cheol, who took off his catcher’s mask and rushed at the ball, ended up hitting Kim Chan-young.

Usually, in situations like this, the catcher catches the ball that the catcher can catch. However, Kim Chan-young, who was already under pressure due to walks and pitches, was deaf, and an accident occurred where the catcher and pitcher collided.

[The runner on second base runs. Woojun Jang goes home! Home is empty! Kim Su-ho catches the ball quickly! Prevents a runner on first base from coming home. The score is now 2:0! Runners on second and third base!]

[Oh, it shouldn’t be a major injury. The club’s trainer enters the stadium to check on Kim Chan-young’s condition.]

[You can’t do this. Oh, the trainer sends an X sign to the dugout. It looks like Kim Chan-young is in very bad condition.]

This happened in the beginning of the second inning when the rain, which had been falling one or two drops at a time, began to gradually become heavier.
