Absolute on the Mound

10.

There are days like that.

The day something goes so well, the day you get drunk on the fact that it just works.

Lee Jin-yong's day was like this.

‘Excellent.'

We need to be David who fights against giants like Titans and Goliath, who committed the ruthless massacre.

Even in that situation, Lee Jin-yong did not feel any fear.

Rather, I was more confident than ever before.

‘I think Strike Zone is right in front of me. ’

The source of his confidence was a ball that made a difference.

His confinement of the Fossim Fastball was only in the late 120s, but when the ball began to become properly controlled, it felt like an incredibly great weapon.

Son of a bitch, you're drunk.

So I was even more drunk.

Well, I feel more worthwhile than I've ever been treated with garbage, so I have to get drunk.

The restraints that had always been his flaw seemed more reliable than ever before.

That's why Jin Yong spit out more today.

Baaak!

“Oh, it worked! ”

The moment you get two strikes in a heartbeat, aiming only at the narrow course outside the Strikezone, and then throw a well-chopped two-center fastball to get a groundball.

“Shooter!”

As soon as the ball flies in front of the striker, the striker throws the ball to the first runner in a heartbeat.

[You have earned 122 points.]

And as soon as the baseball manager confirms the outcount.

“Hooray!”

Jin Yong shouted louder, louder and more provocatively than usual.

“You son of a bitch! ”

At that moment, I was angry for the first time.

Yeah? Yeah.

"Huh?

Lee Hyeong-seop, who retreated to the ground ball in front of the shooter, started running to the mount.

11.

Lee Hye-seop from Mad Dog.

He's been famous since high school.

Since high school, I have been involved in several violent incidents, and even after I came to the program, the blood has flowed into and out of the ground.

There were many anecdotes.

The opponent who defended his Rough Ruins and Lee Hyung-seop has been a pro for six years. The work that was said.

When a disgraced fan turned pro after asking for autograph, it almost spread to violence while cursing at the fan.

Other than that, there were cases where he couldn't count on two hands to hear a crazy dog.

At the beginning of the fourth round, people were surprised when he came out as the lead batsman and ran to the mount as soon as he heard the cheer of Jin Yong.

"How could he endure this?" ’

How could that filthy bastard endure four times?

In other words, no one questioned the fact that Lee Hyungseop ran to the mount.

It finally exploded! ’

I knew it! ’

The Titan's bench that blew him up in the first place, as well as the Angels bench.

Furthermore, in Titan's view, this bench clearing was intended to turn the tide, and Angels was also trying to unravel what had happened for two days through bench clearing.

“Get out, all of you! ”

That's why as soon as Lee Hyung-seop jumped out of the bench, the players started coming out.

“Dis Iz Jamsil, Titans! ”

“Hey, Angels, flip them over! ”

That's how the bench clearing started.

At the same time, there was a battle between Lee Jin-yong and Lee Hyung-seop, which could be called an outpost.

You're dead! ’

Of course, it was Lee Hyung-seop who blew up the propaganda.

“You son of a bitch! ”

His fist flies toward the face of the binary dragon, holding his gloved hand for the blow.

It was out of line. It was dangerous.

However, Lee Jin-yong was too small compared to Lee Hyun-seop, who was 183 centimeters tall and strong.

It means that one punch is not just one punch.

How dare you!

Even Kim Jin-ho from the Major League was frightened.

Boom!

However, Lee Jin-yong instead moved her lower back and avoided pulling her head back.

“Sii?”

Oh, my God.

In fact, Lee Hyung-seop was embarrassed that he reached out his left hand this time, but Lee Jin-yong avoided even his fist lightly tapping his head to the side.

Boom!

Several of them blinked at binary movements, such as a class boxer.

"You don't look like much of a pushover. ’

"What the fuck is that? ’

At that moment, Lee Jin-yong who avoided Lee Hyung-seop's second attack shouted.

“Get out of my mount! ”

The work over the shouting.

Lee Hyung-seop stared at Lee Jin-yong for a moment, and Lee Jin-yong stared at Lee Hyung-seop very fiercely and coldly with furious eyes.

His eyes look like a dragon attacked by disgust.

“Hey, take those two off! ”

“Get in between! ”

In the meantime, both team players running off the bench pushed them apart like waves between Jin Yong and Lee Hyung-seop.

The bench clearing was over.

12.

After all the commotion, the ground is still.

The only place horses come and go is Mound.

“Jin-yong, are you hurt anywhere? ”

“Yes.”

“You're okay with pitching, right? ”

“Yes, I can throw as much as I want. ”

“If there's a problem, call me. Don't overdo it. ”

After finishing the conversation with Tutsu Coach Lee Jin-yong, the silence began to fill the ground even darker.

In that silence, Lee Jin-yong looked down and saw the stage he was walking on.

It was a messy stage.

A messy stage full of players' footprints.

Jin-yong.

Kim Jin-ho said to Lee Jin-yong.

Feels dirty, doesn't it?

Lee Jin-yong didn't answer.

I didn't need an answer.

Yeah, that's what the Titans are after.

Kim Jin-ho couldn't have known that, so he kept talking even though he didn't have an answer.

You don't think it's the only thing running around like a rabid dog, do you? Yeah? Yeah.

Kim Jinho speaking stepped forward.

Soon, Kim Jin-ho, standing next to Lee Jin-yong, said, looking at where Lee Jin-yong is looking at.

Let's get caught up in the face of the pitcher, not the cocksucker named Lee Jin-yong, and let's turn the mood by stirring up the bench once before seeing the wicked.

In the place where Kim Jinho looked, there was Park Joon-dong, the third batsman, preparing to stand on the floor after Lee Hyung-seop, who was given attention by God and caused a commotion.

The problem is, the atmosphere has really changed. This bench clearing was meant to be, and Titan's strike coach would have told the batsmen by the time the bench clearing was over. Stay awake and play baseball. Calmly look at the pitcher's ball and attack it. Let's start with one point.

Such Park Joon-dong stepped towards the batter box, wielding a golden bat.

It's time to start the game.

Kim Jin-ho said just in time.

Did I ever tell you about my first time on a bench with a professional debut? Against the Cubs?

A smile was drawn on the mouth of Lee Jin-yong who had just become stiff.

A bitter smile.

Kim Jin-ho, who saw that smile, said with the same smile.

Do the same.

“Yes.”

13.

The situation of the first company at the beginning of the 4th period.

After the commotion caused by Hyungseop Lee on the 2nd batsman, Park Joon-dong, the third batsman on the masonry, did not look at the pitcher on the mount while standing on the masonry.

I looked at the bench instead.

The striking coach of Titan again sent his autograph to Park Joon-dong.

Be calm and hit.

‘Yes, let's face it. ’

In fact, before the start of today's match, Joon-dong Park's mind or Titan's bench order was simple.

Let's carry on with the two days of senseless strikes!

His mind was still on the tarmac, and Park Joon-dong was willing to swing the bat at a ball he thought he could hit.

All of Titans' batsmen did.

As a result, Titans hit only one Anthaman during three innings.

At first, it was more absurd than anger.

‘If we keep doing this, we'll only end up getting beaten up. ’

However, as soon as he changed the atmosphere through bench clearing, Park Joon-dong accepted the reality.

You acknowledged that you had to take a hit to score against that little pitcher.

At this moment, of course, Park Joon-dong did not intend to make an active and aggressive battle against Jin Yong Lee.

I just want to strike calmly, one by one, and hit my stone legs.

‘I see the outpost. ’

Park Joon-dong naturally wanted to keep an eye on Lee Jin-yong's cornerstone for the first time today.

I wanted to see the pitcher's ball in front of me.

That's why.

Boom!

“Phew.”

Why Park Joon-dong just watched the Fossim Fastball thrown in the middle of the Strike Zone.

Even that ball wasn't just a Fossim Fastball.

“What?”

“Joon-dong Park, what is he doing? ”

“Why the fuck are you staring at that ball? ”

The incarceration on the lighting board is 119 kilometers.

It was a ball that provoked the batsman beyond the thrust of the batsman.

It was more than an Taunt.

That son of a bitch! ’

Da-da!

Park Joon-dong heard this grinding sound from his mouth.

‘· · · · · · · No, relax. ’

But Park Joon-dong tightly suppressed the boiling anger at that moment.

‘Let's not be provoked. No, maybe it's just a scrub. ’

I listened to myself.

‘Yes, it is. It's weird to be good at throwing a ball after a bench. He's a good guy, isn't he? If a guy who's haunting Strikezone's perimeter today throws a ball like this, he's gonna be a jackass. ’

He was a daredevil and blinked his eyes sharply at the same time.

‘Since you threw your appetizer, you must have thrown two. ’

I set boundaries and doubts like a hedgehog.

‘The ball in the middle is a trick. Aim for the edge rather than entering John. ’

Then, Lee Jin-yong threw 2 balls at him.

Boom!

Heave!

The ball was also a foam fastball aimed at the center of the Strike Zone, like the ball that was just thrown.

“Strike!”

In addition, detention is 122 kilometers.

The ball was too obvious and too slow, making it impossible for the bat to come out easily.

At that moment, Park Joon-dong could no longer remain calm.

“Son of a bitch. ”

Given the strength Lee Jin-yong showed during the game today, there is no way to throw the ball twice in the middle of the Strike Zone.

That means that both the balls you threw before were aimed at the ball, not the hammer.

A batsman like you, Park Joon-dong, was a ball that was small enough to throw a ball like this.

‘Come on, let's do it. ’

Then, Lee Jin-yong who was standing on the mount threw the third.

The ball is in the middle of the Strike Zone again.

‘You're dead.' ’

However, the quality was different.

Splitter the sphincter.

Whoo-hoo!

“· · · · · · · · Billion! ”

“Swing, strike out! ”

It was the perfect ball to get the batsman to swing.

14.

“Joon-dong, if you're going to play like that, fold the baseball. ”

The 4th rider in the waiting seat, Kim Tae-yong said, Park Joon-dong who retreated to Samjin lowered his head.

Kim Tae-yong no longer paid attention to Park Joon-dong. I stood on the pavement facing only binary dragons on the mount.

That's how Kim Tae-yong stood on the tarmac started calculating in his mind.

"You're going to put a postage machine in the middle of John and stab him in the face? ’

Based on the pitch that Lee Jin-yong showed against Park Joon-dong a while ago, what pitch would Lee Jin-yong do against himself?

Actually, I was expecting it and I wasn't sleeping.

If you wanted to go for a fastball, you'd throw a splitter. ’

The pitching for Jin Yong was simple.

Fossim and Splitter.

It was a pitch against the batsman using only two balls.

A pitch where a batsman aims for a foam fastball draws a Hut swing with a splitter and, on the other hand, throws a foam fastball against the batsman aiming for a splitter to take away the timing.

‘Little bastard. ’

It was a double-edged pitch.

If you read the batsman's psychology correctly, you can catch a triple swing very simply, but if you read the number to the batsman on the contrary, there's nothing odd about that pitch being hit by a big hit at that moment.

"How dare you imprison me." ’

Because of this, this style of pitching was usually available for pitchers with league-grade fox fastballs and a fox fastball restraint of at least 145 kilometers (145 kilometers) on a Korean pro baseball basis.

‘I'll definitely take my breath away this time. ’

In other words, it was a style that was never suitable for pitchers like Jin Yong Lee.

Right now, Tae-yong Kim is the only batter who beat up Jin-yong Lee today.

The second time he came out as the lead batsman, he made the low ball that was thrown by Lee Jin-yong and, in a way, the ball that escaped the Strike Zone into an antenna that hit the fence on Kim Tae-yong's Jamsil Stadium.

I was fenced because it was a dungeon, but it would have been a home run if it was a different field.

‘Coming.’

That's why Tae-yong Kim swung the bat without hesitation as soon as Lee Jin-yong threw the first ball, the moment she thought the ball was aiming for her Strike Zone.

Whoo-hoo!

Bat breaks the wind with his heavy body.

Whoo-hoo!

That was the only way to break the wind.

Boom!

“Swing, Strike! ”

At some point, the identity of the falling piece of paper was a splitter.

‘Son of a bitch.'

Taeyong Kim's temples twitched.

However, here, Tae-yong Kim did not express anger.

One strike situation anyway.

It was a ball that could have been a strike, and it would have been better to just swing the bat to watch it.

‘You throw a splitter, and then of course you throw the bait. ’

At the same time, he prepared the following:

Calmly and willingly swing the bat when the ball comes that you think you can hit.

Then, Lee Jin-yong threw second to him.

The ball draws a trajectory that resembles the one you threw earlier.

Splitter?

However, the moment I saw the ball, the calculation started in Taeyong Kim's mind.

"No."

The pitcher on the mount is clever and fights hand-to-hand.

That's why it looks like I'm throwing a splitter again, but I'm actually going to throw a foam fastball or a two-center fastball.

‘Fossil.’

At the end of the calculation, Tae-yong Kim's body moved in line with the calculation.

Whoo-hoo!

And Kim Tae-yong did it in vain.

“Swing Strike! ”

Two spheres were splitters.

“Don't!”

In fact, Kim Tae-yong's anger appeared between his thick lips.

At the same time, Tae-yong Kim's eyes, looking at Lee Jin-yong, began to glow fiercely.

However, Lee Jin-yong did not give her eyes to Kim Tae-yong's eyes.

He stared at the catcher and immediately prepared the third time without hesitation.

And the 3 that were thrown was also a trajectory similar to the 3 that was thrown to Taeyong Kim and 2.

Splitter!

Tae-yong Kim thought the ball was a splitter, and of course he swung with power accordingly.

We're going to blow it! ’

Lee Jin-yong did a swing to target the splitter shown earlier.

It was literally a perfect swing.

The swing that Lee Jin-yong threw just before is not lacking to send the splitter over the fence, maybe to the outside.

The problem is that the splitter thrown by binary is different from the splitter thrown before.

It's a bigger drop than the previous one, and it's a faster splitter.

Whoo-hoo!

In fact, Tae-yong Kim's bat only split the air.

"Ah!"

Kim Tae-yong's head turned white.

In Tae-yong Kim's white head, there came a fourth attack by Jin Dragon.

“Hooray!”

Jin Yong Lee declared war on Titans.

Damn, it's been a long time since I've had a memory like this.

In Kim Jin-ho's way, no one else!

Fifteen.

Kim Jin-ho.

Like the so-called owner of the Major League, there were many anecdotes he left behind in the Major League like the stars in the sky.

Did you tell him about the first time I got benched?

The story was also one of his many anecdotes.

You didn't? Then you have to do it.

One of the myriad anecdotes Kim Jinho gives to Lee Jin-yong to make fun of his mouth without rest.

My first Benkel experience was my second year in the Major League. Must have been the third year in America. It was before the Cubs.

From Kim Jinho's point of view, it was just an anecdote that started to tell Lee Jin-yong a funny story.

You know the relationship between the Cubs and the Cardinals? Don't you know? Well, in a nutshell, Angels and Devils are just the neighborhood kids. Anyway, during the game, my team batsman got hit by a ball. The bench coach came up to me, didn't tell me, just cut his head off with his thumb. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Of course, as soon as I got on the mount, I shoved a ball up my ass against the first batsman. Oh, that's when I got the Cubs batsman Sammy Sosa.

Oh, come to think of it, he was a junkie, too, wasn't he? Fucking junkies!

It didn't mean anything more.

After clearing the bench, I hung up Sammy Sosa headlock and put some honey balm in my head, and then I stood back on the mount and looked at the mount, and the mount was so messy. And I thought to myself,

At least it was for Kim Jinho himself.

If my castle is trampled and I ride like I always do, how will they see me? I don't know how to look at it, but it's ridiculous. I made a decision there. Let's make sure I don't let them trample on my mount again. From that moment on, Fossil and Splitter, they threw two.

But it was different for the listener.

“Why did you only throw a splitter and conceit? ”

Imagine if you were a typewriter and the pitcher on the mount only threw a splitter. So, what do you want to do?

“They'll go for the Fossim or the Splitter. ”

But what if I get a triple?

“I feel like shit, so what happened? ”

Lee Jin-yong, to him, Kim Jin-ho's story was not just a story that he heard and spilled with his ear.

That day, I set a major league tie for the 10th straight. By the way, do you know who's got three straight pitchers ahead of me? Tom Seaver. Pretty cool, huh?

To Lee Jin-yong, it was a piece of advice from the best pitcher he could remember.

“What do you mean, 10 consecutive triangles? ”

It's not possible and it's not sleeping. Retribution for those who would trample my realm. If you had a similar experience with me, you'd know what I mean.

So there was no doubt.

At the beginning of the 5th round, Lee Jin-yong willingly threw the ball in Kim Jin-ho's way.

I threw the Fossim Fastball, Split Finger Fastball, and only two of them were thrown at the batsmen.

There was no fear of being right.

The only thing I'm afraid of is being trampled on because I think I'm shallow.

[You got 103 points.]

[I've got Trijin. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[I caught the Triangle. Bonus points will be awarded.]

“Hooray!”

Yay! Good job, good job!

So, Lee Jin-yong caught three strikes against the first 5 times with only two spheres.

[You got 111 points.]

[You caught the Trident. Bonus points will be awarded.]

“Hooray!”

Yeah? Yeah.

The second batsman that followed immediately captures the trident.

[You got 85 points.]

[You caught the Trident. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[You have captured a trident of five in a row. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[If you catch the 7 Consecutive Triangle, you will get your first bonus.]

And as soon as he captured her against the last batsman, Lee Jin-yong once again said to the Titans:

“Hooray!”

Don't ever think about stepping on my mount again.

Kim Jin-ho, standing next to Lee Jin-yong, said as he looked at the Titans who were retreating to the Triangle in a row.

Strange. Why is it so easy to get a triple digit? It's not supposed to be like this. Usually when you mix balls with a fox and a splitter, you're supposed to get hit with a bat or a ball of dirt. Damn, that felt right all of a sudden. You can't be.

At that moment, Kim Jin-ho had a hunch.

You'll get hit soon enough. Yeah, maybe six times. Of course not. There's no way we can get a seven-consecutive tripod with a stage pitch like this.

I feel a little sick to my stomach today.
