Absolute on the Mound

8.

Monday, February 27.

A desperate Monday, after all the sweet holidays.

That day, Lee Jin-yong was living more relaxed than anyone else.

“Well, coffee smells good. I feel like a New Yorker. ”

With the freshly brewed coffee aroma deeply tasted, Lee Jin-yong who watched the 2016 Major League baseball relay on a tablet PC lent to a friend with rye bread and cheese beside him felt like a New Yorker at this moment.

Sounds like The New Yorker.

Of course, that feeling didn't last long.

What kind of New Yorker tastes like that? I'm busy looking for work to light up my eyes and make money to pay for expensive rent and more expensive kids. Real relaxed humans have a mansion in Miami, and they're thinking about surfing in the morning, or taking a yacht, or just partying at home. You know that most of New York's sales, not New Yorkers, are filled with tourists from New York?

Kim Jin-ho, who was watching the major league game video with Lee Jun-yong, didn't let that happen.

“Would you feel better if you broke the spiritual well-being and romance like that? I'm so nervous I'm about to announce the results. ”

What's there to be nervous about? It's a good thing, and you have to decide what to do next, when you shouldn't.

“Is that what you're telling the boss to get his severance package ready for the trial? ”

So it's unfair to die and do nothing but be pretty and tell a ghost that you're living with an ugly guy?

“What am I ugly for? He's handsome enough! ”

Looks like there's a real problem with your head. Maybe I'm hallucinating, like you said. I think you should get a proper psych eval. Oh, my God, I can't touch my phone. I'm sorry, I would have introduced you to a psychiatrist I know. Hey, what are you doing?

“I'm turning the ringer into a half-night-view. ”

As always, the two conversations that had become everyday went directly to a different topic.

“Do I have to spin the wheel when I really pass the trial? ”

Kim Jin-ho tapped his shoulder behind him after passing through Jin Yong Lee's question.

I told you, you have to paint in the long run.

Lee Jin-yong, he was currently not using the wheel pass and points obtained at the trial out.

2 Bronze Wheel Passes, 1 Silver Wheel Pass and more than 2,800 points.

Even though I could spin the wheel up to five times, I still had a thousand opportunities.

If you qualify for the trials, you'll need as much visible specs as you need to be a player right away. But if you drop out of the trial, it's reasonable to train again, get the best out of what you can, and then go and spin the wheel.

The reason was as Kim Jin-ho explained.

The effect of the wheel is clear. I can expect immediate spec-up.

And if you pass through a trial and become a member of Cat Stars, you need immediate specs.

If you become a Goyang Starz player, you will play again and again, making it easier to earn points.

But what if we don't make it through the triage?

At that time, Jin Yong should prepare again for the long term, rather than trying to figure something out immediately.

You have to be ready to earn points while working in social baseball.

However, the points gained from social baseball and the points gained from being part of the Independence League cannot be the same.

Because Lee Jin-yong and Kim Jin-ho currently know, the basic point for players who play baseball in a social baseball league is between 10 and 30 points.

Whereas players in Pro Baseball Group 2 are between 30 and 80 points.

Of course, it would be difficult to collect points after joining Goyang Starz, and in that case, it was wise for Jin to write points after pulling out what he had to the limit.

“Phew.”

Lee Jin-yong took a breath while reminiscing about the fact.

Boom!

At that moment, the smartphone that Lee Jin-yong uploaded vomited text messages.

Hey, it's texting!

“I know!”

Soon after checking the text, Lee Jin-yong and Kim Jin-ho shouted at the same time.

Hey, turn around!

“Yes, I will! ”

Jin Yong Lee joined the Cat Stars.

9.

“Huh."

I feel bad if I win the lottery once.

Mmm-hmm.

But if you win the same lottery twice, then you feel even weirder than before.

And if you win three times.

“Hey, this feels a little cheesy. ”

Hey, maybe we should do something really good. Why don't you find out? Or go to the temple and worship.

At that time, fear, rather than pleasure, begins to attack the entire body.

Lee Jin-yong and Kim Jin-ho's condition were like that.

4 Bronze Wheels and 1 Silver Wheel.

They immediately started spinning the Bronze Wheel with a total of five opportunities to spin the wheel.

The results were as expected.

[Increases Binding by 1.]

[HP +1.]

[Increases Binding by 1.]

Restraints increased by 3 and health increased by 1.

There was no silver or gold equivalent, but it was still quite meaningful.

No, I was relieved.

I felt fortunate to have been so far.

Moreover, the results were never a loss. The maximum restraint for binary is 122 kilometers.

That's why, when I turned the Silver Wheel for the first time, I didn't expect to be disappointed.

Naturally, when the silver wheel was activated, when the compartment grew from 100 to 200, only one of the compartments was illuminating in platinum, it never gave its attention to the platinum compartment.

I was caught in a platinum box.

[You learned a Daily Epic Skill.]

At that moment, Lee Jin-yong and Kim Jin-ho dared not spit out the cheerfulness of joy or just meaningless eunuchs.

That was it.

[Daily Epic]

Skill Rank: F

Skill Effect: One of the acquisitions becomes rank B. This effect lasts 24 hours.

Skill effects do not apply to spheres that are already B rank.

[Due to the Daily Effect, the Curve's Spherical Rank has increased to B rank.]

Daily Epic.

The newly acquired Platinum grade skill was enormous enough to stop even two mouths.

Kim Jin-ho woke up first.

So it's a skill that makes one of your shits rank B for a day? If Fastball was a B rank today, this is how the slider would be a B rank tomorrow?

Awakened Kim Jin-ho organized the effects of a Daily Epic Skill.

Kim Jinho was appalled after clearing it up like that.

Wow, this is crazy! What's different from eating one item every day? Where are these skills? It's like a cheek!

In Kim Jin-ho's words, Lee Jin-yong did not react as usual. No, I couldn't do it.

Rather, he had questions.

“What do I do? ”

What do you mean?

“No, I mean this skill. ”

As soon as I tried to spit it out, Lee Jin-yong woke up. With a deep breath, he relaxes again to his heart, which is now trembling violently as if he had understood the situation.

And I opened my mouth when I calmed down to some extent.

“Things seem to have changed. ”

Not much has changed. This is amazing. The crystal ball changes every day!

“The point is, it's not that bad. ”

That's right.

“Should I make a new repertoire for it? ”

Along with the horse, Lee Jin-yong looked at Kim Jin-ho.

I was embarrassed by the sudden situation, but I felt frightened, but my eyes flashed with aspirations for my dreams.

Kim Jin-ho smiled lightly in his eyes.

You know, the changeover is a B rank, so I don't mind, but I have to have all the fastballs, sliders, and curves ready for when it hits B. What do I have to keep in mind?

“If this had happened, my specs would still suck. ”

All right, let's start with the slider. Let's start studying what a pitcher with a good slider should do.

10.

Starting in March, Korean pro baseball begins a full season.

The Independent League begins its season with Cat Stars as well.

“We have finished notifying 3 winners. ”

“Well done.”

It was not that important for such a cat star to be recruited through a triangulation.

“Now we are going to start talking about the 2017 season. In 2017, our team had 36 interactions with the Future League team. ”

What was important was the 36 interactions that Goat Starz had with Future League teams, a league of professional baseball doubles, in 2017.

“You won 36 matches this year. ”

“I was surprised when I said it was reduced to 24 games, thank God. ”

It was a thousand-dollar opportunity.

The Independent League is literally a league that is independent from Korean pro baseball leagues.

Of course, Korean pro baseball clubs were under no obligation to play against their own independent league teams.

Nevertheless, Korean pro baseball teams allowed him to play against the second-generation teams and the Goat Stars because of all the officials of Goat Stars and the town of South Korean baseball officials cheering for Goat Stars.

“Thank you for all your hard work. ”

People who are treated like seniors in Korean baseball went to the town to ask for consideration for the future of Korean baseball.

Goyang Starz also visited the table officials during the off-season and bowed his head, robbed them of their money and offered them drinks, sometimes even kneeling, and even shed tears.

Nevertheless, there was nothing strange about the result of disappearing at any time.

As I said before, there is no legal basis for professional gangs to spend more time in independent leagues than they already have.

So it was a thousand.

What you have now may be your last!

“We'll have to check the other route first. ”

“There is only Park Joon-hyung in number 3. ”

Naturally speaking, the coaching staff at Cat Stars did not intend to waste that golden opportunity.

“The pro group 2 teams you are facing will also expect Park Joon-hyung to come out. There are 10 tables in the table that are going to stare at him. ”

“Even if it's not that, Joon-hyung is good in many ways if he is placed in number 3. Let's try to lead the game in some way. Most importantly, if the closest thing to a pro goes to a pro, the pro club will give us another chance. ”

“Kim Piljoong's balls are fine these days while he's pitching. In the good times, we do it in the late 140s. That's the problem with new boobs. But maybe it's different, so we can take it onstage in the Second World. ”

“The comet made the body right during the winter. You know, last year we got caught up in injuries, but this year will be different. ”

The Cat Stars Coaching Staff intended to present the best cards they could play in the match against the Pro Group 2.

I was going to make the stage a showcase for them.

He sent at least one more player to the pros, and that's how everyone at Cat Starz wanted to be recognized for their existence by the pros.

“Let's start with pitchers, then. It looks like Kim Piljoong will be selected for the match against Seoul Angels II, which was captured on March 10. I got a 1-Inning back in Angels, so I stopped it. I'm sure they'll come up with some kind of countermeasure, and you'll see what they're capable of. ”

Director Jeong Beom-seok was the same idea.

He did not intend to share the limited opportunity equally.

It was also a world of professionals.

A world where competent people, potential people, have more opportunities.

“So once the March and April schedules are sorted out, · · · · · ·. ”

In the story that began, the name Lee Jin-yong was actually mentioned after the story of the Futures League match was finished.

“How do you create a match entry with the Blue Dragons, a social baseball team that will be on March 6th? ”

“On March 10th, the battlers in the game with Angels will save the game and the pitchers will probably get injured, so it's more likely to be in the pen depending on the situation than the cast. ”

“The selection is problematic. Not to mention one inning of pitchers from one to nine, but a player who can digest 3,4 innings. ”

“What about Tae Joon? ”

“I recently had a slight ankle sprain at work. ”

“Young-seop?”

“Young-seop has less restraints than last year. I think it would be better to let it out if the weather was cooler than to overdo it. ”

“I don't think you deserve it. Don't you have anyone who can help you run the game? ”

“· · · · · · Then how about a player for Jin Jin? ”

It was Kim Jong-ho Tutsu, the coach, who brought up the name.

“Jin Yong Lee?”

“This is a nine-batsman back-to-back shooter on the first day of the trial. ”

In the description that followed by Coach Kim Jung-ho, the coaching staff were able to recall Lee Jin-yong's face.

In fact, most of the coaching staff at Cat Stars were not positive about picking binary.

On the contrary, it was not negative.

Definitely the test scores were good.

The basic fitness test showed an average level of results, and in the BL, it was a remarkable nine straight battles.

However, no one had any reason to be interested in pitchers whose expectations were only 120, even though Fastball restraints were released at the latest in their late 110s.

Only one person, Superintendent Jeong, cared about Lee Jin-yong and that was why he became a member of the Cat Stars.

“Yes. The restraints are slow, so if you send them out early, the pitchers behind you will see less virtue." The main weapon is a chain business, so you'll probably get a ball of land. It will also help check the condition of the beasts. ”

That's why Coach Kim Jong-ho brought up the name of Lee Jin-yong.

Kim Jong-ho Tutsuchi was not complaining that Director Jeong Beom-seok elected Lee Jin-yong.

Role is important.

The role of Supervisor Jeong is to recruit players and use them.

Lee Jin-yong was the pitcher's coach.

“Above all, don't you need to know how well he's going to throw? ”

Using the Blue Dragons, a social baseball team, Kim Jong-ho, he intended to better understand the pitcher, Lee Jin-yong, who should be raised from now on.

In the words of Kim Jong-ho Tutsu, the gaze of the left eye turned towards the overseer.

As I said before, the director's sole responsibility is to use the player.

“Not bad. Then, in the match against the Blue Dragons, Lee Jin-yong will be selected. ”

At that time, the supervisor signed OK.

“Inform yourself. ”
