-[AT Thunders] New coach Lee Soo-hyun’s bold ambitions!

… … AT Thunders’ new coach Lee Soo-hyun expressed his strong ambition to make AT Thunders a strong team again and lead them to their heyday… … …

ㄴSuhyun! Why are you here now?

Wow… I finally became a director. I cried when I was kicked out of the team.

Hey, are you standing there?

Do you see that? ㄹㅇ That’s wrong.

Aren’t you going to escape rather than being kicked out of the team? Lee Soo-hyun and Hyun-seong did better haha.

Of course, he is the one who created the Talet effect.

– Ji Maeng-ho, an ambitious rookie, the secret to being number one in home runs is muscles?

Wow, that’s some muscle.

See how he subtly asks a woman to touch him. Is that the life of an alpha male?

Do you think Ji Maeng-ho is like you? How many women would you like to meet?

-Ball on the body? If you can throw it, throw it. I can’t stand it either.

… … … … He responded that he would do the same thing in the future when he throws a bean ball, which is becoming a hot topic among fans. … … … …

ㄴHonestly, I wish it was so refreshing ㄱㅊ!ㅋㅋ

ㄴㄴHe’s at the level of fans of that team haha. Then we have nothing to say even if we slap Woo Gwan-hyung, right?

ㄴㄴㄴㅇㅇPlease soak it so I don’t see that mold.

Fuck, the kids are young so they stay quiet even if their senior hits them. They are doing a good job by throwing out all the veterans.

ㄴㄴAre you the one who was kicked out? Rebuilding is going well haha.

ㄴIf you do something like that while playing with my team, I really won’t be able to stand it lol.

-Wonhyeong Lee? Who is that? A cocky rookie who has lost his spirit of partnership.

… … … … Even the bare minimum of courtesy towards people in the same industry… … . Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho is causing controversy because he said he has no intention of visiting the hospital in the future. … … … …

Look at the ridiculous headlines being pulled. I just don’t remember the name well, so I fabricated it.

It’s a fact? Is there anything wrong with that?

B If you really play this chew, soak it once ㅅㅂ

Wow, I’m pissed too, but how pissed are Hwasan fans? Haha.

ㄴReal personality ㅅㅂ

ㄴEven if you give it to a player like this, you don’t get it.

If a second baseman with a .400 hitter and a leader in home runs is offered to join the team, you bow down and accept it, right? I swear because I’m jealous.

ㄴㄴㄴ ㅇㄱㄹㅇ

Shame on you haters. Ji Maeng-ho proves it with a home run.

-Hello AT Thunders front desk staff. I have a hard time sending you an email.

Sender: This is AT fan.

… … … No matter how bad our team’s performance is right now, do we really have to use players who are so rude and violent? No matter how good Ji Maeng-ho is, I think there is a problem with hiring a player right away without internal disciplinary action. What will a young athlete learn from this incident? Is AT Thunders a team that is so rude and doesn’t even know its seniors? … … … (reluctant)… … …

Click. After finishing the ridiculous email, Soyoung closed all the Internet windows she was viewing. Of course, I turned off the internet not because of this email but because the game was about to start, but I couldn’t help but feel dizzy.

‘Oh my, my head.’

Soyoung didn’t like the fact that the director was running away and emails like this were piling up due to Meng Hao’s explosive interview.

‘Then you guys are looking for a second baseman the size of Ji Maeng-ho.’

Ji Maeng-ho’s current performance is 0.429/0.559/1.024/1.583, and although he has not even had 60 at-bats yet, he has surpassed MVP level and is blowing up the league. Regardless of his love for Meng Hao, not using a player with such performance was disqualifying as a front office member.

“Team leader, are you okay?”

Seeing Soyoung like that, an employee from the operations team approaches her and asks how she is doing.

“yes. it’s okay.”

The tone was cold as usual, but the employee did not give in and continued talking.

“I want you to hold my head. “Have you seen the article?”

“yes.”

“Haha, Ji Meng Ho is a bit hot, right? Director Lee Soo-hyun’s article was also buried. It’s good for us. “It’s better to have one player tanking than for the coach to run away and have issues like this.”

“… … .”

Soyoung’s face grew colder at the employee’s words. However, it was natural for someone who did not know Soyoung well to notice the difference since she had a cold expression anyway, and the staff of the operations team also did not notice the cold expression.

“But Ji Meng-ho, doesn’t he need some education? really. Even if it ruins the image of the club, it is oily. How do we conduct character education separately? Well, I feel like baseball players haven’t learned much. really… . “And then they get so crazy during salary negotiations.”

“Chief Kim.”

“yes?”

“Just do what you have to do. “Your salary is what the players earn.”

“… sorry.”

“This is your only warning. Be careful what you say. And don’t bring up anything other than work.”

“… … . sorry.”

I just want to lighten the mood… . Manager Kim, who could not resist the urge to talk to a third-generation chaebol, and a girl so pretty and young that it made his eyes water, did not know at the time that his path to promotion was blocked.

And with Manager Kim’s words, the atmosphere in the operation team became cold. However, this cold atmosphere and the reason why the employees of the operation team cannot leave work even after 6 o’clock. That was because the new coach’s debut was held today.

Of course, the front desk employees came to work a little later than regular office workers, but it was rare for everyone to gather together like this to watch the game. This is because, if possible, he maintains his position through rotation.

That’s why today’s game was an important game for AT’s front office.

‘Ha, Ji Maeng-ho, you were embarrassed for no reason because of this bastard. ‘Just try not to play today, you bastard.’

As the man’s curse was dissipating, the AT Thunders’ game began.

*

“Hi, Mr. “Why are my ears itchy?”

“What?”

“Brother, did you curse at me?”

“What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”

“Mr. Ai, then who is it? “Do you think someone swore at you?”

“There are one or two people who will criticize you. “Just concentrate.”

Concentration… . I need to concentrate. Because today’s starter is Jansen. He is our team’s proud mercenary pitcher who appeared in three games, gave up 12 runs in 16 innings, and recorded an ERA of 6.75!

Moreover, this kid was a terrible grounder, so the problem was that the ball would often hit the infielder.

‘But today will be a little different, right?’

In fact, shortstop Kang Hee-seok, who had appeared in Janson’s games until then, was not a player who could be said to have a wide defensive range. Well, his glove quality and throwing accuracy were better than mine, but his arm and defensive range were poor, so his compatibility with Janson was the worst.

However, Seongtae Yoon had a fairly wide defensive range and good arms, so I had a hopeful thought that Jansson would also show a different side.

‘Well, if it doesn’t work out today, I’ll have to pack my bags.’

Jansen also knew this, so he looked tense from today’s training.

“Play ball!”

The game started with the referee’s signal.

‘Janson, try your best!’

Perfect!

Fuck! It’s on my side. The batted ball rolls between first and second base. I quickly ran towards first base and dived. It feels like a batted ball is caught in my glove. I quickly closed my glove, but the ball had too much spin and ended up bouncing out of my glove.

I stood up with my right hand on the infield and looked for the ball, but I couldn’t see the ball bouncing off my glove.

“Next! “My side!”

After listening to Yoon Seong-tae’s words, he found the ball near second base, but JT’s first hitter was already close to reaching the base. I couldn’t throw the ball.

“Tsk. “It was a waste.”

“Hey, I followed that. “I thought I was going to fall in.”

“sorry. “I should have caught it.”

ha. The number one hitter was aiming for the first pitch, but it was such an ambiguous ball. I glanced at Janson on the mound and saw that his pupils were shaking.

“Sorry, sorry!”

“[are you okay. Catch me next time.]”

You say it’s okay with your mouth, but it doesn’t look okay on the inside? Oh, fuck. They say that if you play against Jansen, you will definitely be unlucky.

And when these unfortunate situations arise, Janson’s pattern remains the same.

“cheek.”

“cheek.”

“cheek.”

“S~Trike!”

“Base on ball!”

Now with no outs and 1st and 2nd bases. It wasn’t easy to go comfortably today. With no outs on first and second base, third hitter Jang Hyun-ho comes to bat. Jang Hyun-ho’s performance yesterday was 0 hits in 4 at-bats. All that’s left now is to pray that Jang Hyun-ho’s hitting feels like yesterday.

“now! Let’s go slowly. Hey, Jansson! Calm down! Slow, slow! okay?”

“okay.”

Choi Jin-cheol encouraged Jansson at first base, but Jansson’s voice was still crawling through the ground. And baseball is a sport of momentum. When an unstable atmosphere is exposed, a bad ending is always waiting.

Ta – evil!

-Wow!

“Wow, Hyunho Ham, the batting was crazy.”

Jang Hyun-ho’s fifth home run of the season was decorated with three runs along with Yoon Seong-tae’s muttering.

“hey! “Let’s get together!”

And to break the bad trend, Jeong Yun-cheol summoned the infield.

“Tsk, you know that Jansson’s ball power changes depending on his mood, right? As you can see from watching me during training, I am not a kid who can’t throw. “Let’s make it easier for the pitcher.”

Is this sniping at me? Fuck. I had nothing to say because I lost the ball.

“… sorry.”

I can only say I’m sorry.

“No, no. You did well just by following along. Considering the condition of Kwan’s shoulder, I think he could have given him second base, right? Anyway, let’s think that the game has just started and do well from the beginning, okay? Jansen, it would be nice if he showed half his self during practice. Tsk.”

When Jeong Yun-cheol spoke to us before the interpreter came up, Janson looked very curious, perhaps because Ji’s name came up a lot.

“[What are you saying?]”

“[Janson, think of it as your first time and do your best. okay?]”

“[I get it.]”

“Oh, Meng Ho speaks English? Well, I even said something to Director Sands. Kids these days are definitely smart. “In our time, we didn’t even have time to learn English.”

“Dude, even when I went to Australia, he was just talking to himself.”

“I’m a student studying abroad in the United States.”

“Study Abroad? you?”

“I’m studying abroad in Miami for a week.”

“Oh, WBC?”

“You crazy bastard.”

Well, is it a success? Seeing that Kim Su-ho also ate it up, doesn’t it seem like he was successful? Fortunately, my joke seemed to ease the mood of the players except Jansson.

“What should I say?”

“Tell Jansen to take his time and go from the beginning. Because hitters can easily score around 3 points? Are you all confident?”

“of course.”

“Yes, Meng Hao. You must hit a home run. “Because I made one mistake.”

I heard you did well just by following along earlier… . Of course, if I had caught that ball, the atmosphere of the first inning would have been different. It was a little disappointing.

“[They said don’t worry, the batters will score points.]”

“[Okay, okay. I’m fine, so please don’t worry.]”

“Janson is fine.”

“good. Then, let’s put our energy into it again and let’s go. invincibility!”

“AT!”

*

[Fortunately, Jansson finds his original pace. Jansen strikes out the fourth batter, William Bell.]

[Park Dae-hyuk’s hit! JT doesn’t lose momentum. Now, 1 out and 1 base!]

[This batted ball by Ryu Young-jae! Infield, infield! Exit! Both the second baseman and the shortstop threw their bodies, but were unable to catch it! Creates a chance for 1st and 2nd bases with 1 out!]

[Now the 7th batter, shortstop Baek Min-seok, comes to the plate. Baek Min-seok’s first pitch hit! This batted ball is headed to second base, to second base! Ji Maeng-ho catches it this time! Calmly pass through shortstop and all the way to first base! 4-6-3 double play! Inning over! We are over a turning point. Jansen gave up 3 runs to end the 1st inning, but there were no more runs. Now we will return to the AT Thunders attack in the bottom of the first inning.]

-Wow, I thought today was going to be a mess again.

Damn it, release Jansen.

ㄴIt’s such a shame that that bastard is eating up team slots just because he’s a mercenary.

-It’s disappointing that I scored 3 points in the first inning against Janson.

ㄴㄹㅇㅋ It’s an herbal medicine that everyone else uses, but I have to extract this much.

-Ji Maeng-ho, look at that bastard making a mistake after shaking his mouth.

A mistake? I’m glad I got it, I don’t know.

Yes, if it had been another Park Cheol-young, he would have been saved, right?

ㄴㄴㄴThen suck on Silla, you bitch.

-Wow, Jang Hyun-ho is completely blown away haha. I’m sick of the Talet effect~

ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ Why has this good hitter never hit 20 home runs? Payson has 40 home runs this season haha.

ㄴIt would be great if the second Choi Jin-cheol was born haha.

ㄴI guess it’s because I received the energy of Lee Su-hyun, the original Tal-et effect, that I hit a home run. Thank you, Goddong Lee Soo-hyun haha.

-But will our lineup change? Isn’t Ji Maeng-ho number 1?

ㄴㅇㅇ changed

Haha, why the fuck are you messing with a kid who is doing so well? It’s not like changing the batting order when you’re playing well.

ㄴㄴㄴㅋㅋ I’m just erasing the color of Sans.

ㄴㄴㄴBut I’m good at it so I’m in last place? Lee Soo-hyun knows baseball better than you, so shut up and watch.
