Absolute on the Mound

10.

Triple play, a.k.a. triple kill.

literally holding three outcounts at a time.

It's obvious, but it's hard to see.

You can't leave your skills and see things without your luck. It's like winning the lottery.

There's nothing you can do just because you want to.

But this one is clear.

Lee! He finally did it. Charles Henry Barrett scored the 58th in 1944! Nine Nine Nine and 57!

That anyone who doesn't buy the lottery can never win.

Lee Jin-yong's record was like that.

It was a record that could never be achieved without great luck, but on the contrary, if binary dragons changed their hands at that moment to keep a record of consecutive innings, they would not have been able to come out if they had given up the challenge.

“Brilliant. Completely speechless. ”

As soon as Lee Jin-yong reached the record, the journalists who filled the press room all applauded.

Oh, my God!

Even those who did not trust Lee Jin-yong were willing to applaud the new atmospheric notes created by Lee Jin-yong.

Hwang Seon-woo was also the same.

Oh, man!

He also joyfully applauded the great waitlist Lee Jin-yong recorded.

Of course, Huang Seonwoo knew at this moment.

‘Here we go. ’

This waitlist for Jin Yong today is not the end, but rather the beginning.

11.

The first match hit at Mets' home field broke Charles Henry Barrett's 58th minimum helmet record and set a new record in more than half a century.

Of course, at the end of the game, reporters flocked like bees in the interview room even though Lee Jin-yong didn't announce that he was interviewing.

“You'll do the interview, right?"

“Of course I will. ”

Those who gathered so eagerly waited for Lee Jin-yong to come out of the interview room.

At that time, one Metz employee appeared.

And he said,

“Lee has no interviews today. ”

The journalists gave me a blank look.

What are you talking about? ’

"Why didn't you interview me when you broke this waiting list? ’

A historic moment where the protagonist doesn't interview?

The journalists who understood the situation became fierce and vicious. Reporters did not intend to take it lightly.

“For what reason? ”

“Why aren't you interviewing me? ”

“Is it the injury? ”

Questions popped up asking why you don't do interviews everywhere.

“That's... ”

In response to the question, Metz's staff tried to explain why with a slightly embarrassing look on their faces.

Of course, the journalists were already determined before they heard the reason.

It's my job not to do interviews on days like this! ’

What's the reason? You have to come out! "

For whatever reason, I'm here to hear about the new record through Jin Yong's mouth.

“We need to take a break to get into the game tomorrow," Lee said, "so we can't do the interview. ”

“Huh?"

“What?"

However, for the reason of the members of the table, all journalists had to make a blank face.

What are you talking about? ’

You're taking a break from the game tomorrow? ’

You threw nine innings today, right? But tomorrow's game? ’

"Nominator contest"? But not with the American League. ’

It was a moment when journalists' accidents stopped in the face of incomprehensible facts.

At that time, a man appeared in a corner.

A small size, but now the largest and greatest being in the Major League.

Lee Jin-yong, who showed up, stretched his arms out in front of the reporters.

“Surprise ~ z! ”

In Lee Jin-yong's appearance, reporters were still dumbfounded.

Lee Jin-yong smiled awkwardly with a slightly embarrassed look on the reporters' faces.

“Surprised I didn't do the interview? Just kidding. Just kidding! So let the interview begin. ”

The moment Lee Jin-yong sat down with the horse, and then Lee Young-yeon sat down, there was no change in the journalists' expressions.

Kim Jin-ho said something about it.

Hey, you want to bet? After this interview, are you going to be in the article on suspected mental illness or not? I'll bet all my money on it coming out.

In response, Lee Jin-yong only shed an awkward smile.

Then someone raises their hand.

I was a reporter in Hwang Seon-woo.

“Congratulations on achieving the minimum Helmet Completion record in advance of the question. ”

Hwang Sunwoo asked Lee Jin-yong in English, not Korean.

Thanks to that.

“Then let me ask you a question. Did you pitch for the minimum number of helmet fights today? ”

Reporters began to wake up to Huangseonwoo's question in English.

“Yes, I'm at least ready to finish the game with a few helmets. ”

By the time Lee Jin-yong's answer came out, he asked one or two questions.

The questions were common.

What was the quality of today's crystal ball, when was the hard time, how many innings were expected to be achieved, and how many triplets were thrown in the beginning of the 9th.

Jin Yong was lucky to answer the question, did his best, and gave the same bold answer.

The appearance of Lee Jin-yong's surprise caused the atmosphere of the interview room to change to the usual awkward atmosphere.

It was around that time.

“Why did you pursue a pitching style that reduced helmet counts while taking the risk of a score? Do you feel a physical burden? Otherwise, why did you change your pitch style? ”

Hwang Sunwoo asked the question, and Lee Jin-yong answered the question.

“I don't feel a physical burden. Nevertheless, we've changed our pitching style because we want to play more games. ”

No matter who sees it, it's ridiculous.

“Haha.”

“Lee likes this. I like jocks.”

Because of this, some reporters smiled at Lee Jin-yong's words and enjoyed the sound of Lee Jin-yong's jokes.

However, there was no smile or relaxation in Lee Jin-yong's face.

He looked more serious than ever.

Reporters who checked his expression could see that Lee Jin-yong's words were not a joke a moment ago.

That's why the journalists had to take it seriously.

‘Did you change your pitching style to qualify for more matches? Is that even possible?'

What Lee Jin-Long said really makes sense.

‘Lee is a pitcher who can throw 120 balls in a single match. What if he's throwing 70 rounds in a game? ’

The simple calculation is that a pitcher with the strength to throw 100 throws 50 throws? ’

The number of helmets with 50 spheres · · · · · · · · · long relief digests 2 to 3 innings. ’

‘Wait, so if we calculate simply, we can digest the selection rotation with a 3-day break? ’

Later, when the calculations were over, the journalists were looking at the frightened eyes of binary dragons.

Lee Jin-yong smiled and said with a satisfactory smile.

“See you next time, then. I hope to have this interview again soon. ”

That was the end of the interview.

12.

Lee, nothing is impossible for him!]

The day after the 57th arrondissement, naturally, the Major League was full of stories about Jin Yong Lee.

In 1944, the shock of updating the new Major League record, which was unbelievable at that time, was that big.

But the shock did not end there.

Rather, that was the beginning.

Did you hear why the Hou Man handles helmets?

I heard you manage helmets to fight.

I heard that when I ran in Korea, I only took three days off and registered.

Most pitchers don't survive a four-day break, but the guy who wins every match gets a three-day break and a backboard!

Major league fans had to forget about Lee Jin-yong's ability to manage his helmet in order to compete in more matches.

Of course, the Mets said:

[Mets, ‘I don't intend to publish Lee too much. ’]

[Colin says, 'The current Mets selection is at the top of the league, and Lee shouldn't be overdoing it. ’]

It's already the 1st place on Earth and the National League. I don't intend to use it too much while taking risks in the third place.

And that was normal and common sense.

Because of this, everyone just ignored what Jin Yong said to be happy.

However, Lee Jin-yong did not leave it as hazing.

[Lee, finish 80 against Phyllis!]

Lee Jin-yong, who won the 80-year race before and after Red, told reporters in the locker room instead of in the interview room.

“If any of our linemen are down, or if they're on the injured list for a while now, I'll fill that position at any time. I'm ready anytime. Three days off, two days off, I'm ready to throw as much as I can right now. ”

Lee Jin-yong unveiled her willingness to play more games in front of reporters.

It wasn't once either.

Lee, I'm still hungry!]

Lee Jin-yong repeatedly expressed her hunger and showed her why she had to starve through the match.

Lee, finish off the 79th against Marlins!]

[Lee, this time finish 72 against Braves!]

Lee Jin-young started managing the helmet.

Of course, the journalists immediately wrote it as an article, and the public also now began to take it seriously.

You really want to take a three-day break and climb back?

Why don't you give it a try? The Mets kids are a little tired, aren't they?

That's ridiculous. Even if you have fewer helmets, what if you get injured after three days of resting and throwing? Lee, it's your first major league season!

It's my first season, and I've already passed 200 innings. Another pitcher can't get over 200 innings the whole season.

It's a funny thing to mention to a Howman since it's his first season. So, it's your first season, so you won the perfect game twice in the game, finished the game on Coors Field, and you got the best shot at winning the best helmet ever?

1st place on Earth is enough. You don't have to overdo it.

You can let him out if you want!

Opinion also began a fierce disagreement.

I fought for opinions that I didn't have to take risks and overdo binary and opinions that I had to give the opportunity to challenge.

In such controversy, there was also a compromise.

I don't think it's a bad idea to run one or two finals, do you?

Mets, you're a little low on firepens these days.

It can't hurt to try, right?

It'll be funny when you're finished with the Howmen. When a Howman comes out of a bullpen, all of a sudden the atmosphere grows.

Of course, most people did not consider the compromise to be a compromise.

But he was different.

“This is good. ”

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you go on that weird website again and find out you were dirty? Hey, we'll see about that.

“No, not that. This one."

Lee Jin-yong showed Kim Jin-ho a column article of a baseball journalist she had seen with her words.

John Smalls.

Kim Jinho looked fat when he saw that column.

John Smalls.

A selected pitcher who led the glory era of the Braves and a great pitcher named after the Hall of Fame in the Major League.

There were three big symbols of such John Smalls:

One was that it had more than 3,000 desertions, the other an amazing performance in the post season, and the last was that it was the only major league with 200 wins and 150 save records simultaneously.

Of course, the 200 wins and 150 savings won by John Smalls were separate seasons. Specifically, 150 Saves was built as a finishing pitcher over the course of the team's four years, and in other seasons, John Smalls was a strong contender to aim for interviews at any time.

“What do you think?”

The column Lee Jin-yong was looking at, mentioning such a John Smalls, was an opinion in favor of the closing pitcher for Lee Jin-yong.

“Could we use John Smalls' example to persuade the director? ”

Kim Jin-ho replied to Lee Jin-yong's thoughts.

Jinyong, there's a better way.

“A sure way? ”

Yeah, if you don't go find Director Collins and finish me off right now, he's gonna take his pants off the mount and shit himself. Another pitcher will say that, but he'll believe you when you say that. You don't have enough to take a shit and sit there and stay.

In Kim Jin-ho's words, Lee Jin-yong smiled fat and refuted.

“Does that make sense? ”

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

“Yes, it sounds like you're about to wipe out a ghost. ”

It's disgusting to hear this, isn't it?

“That's a little dirty. Oh, I'm not saying Kim Jin-ho is dirty. No, it's not dirty. Anyway, I feel a little dirty. ”

That's exactly how I felt when you sang John Smalls to me a moment ago.

Lee Jin-yong silenced Kim Jin-ho's words, and Kim Jin-ho who saw him said with a smile.

It's already going according to plan. Don't overdo it.

Did it go as planned?

Lee Jin-yong nodded lightly in Kim Jin-ho's words.

In fact, I knew Lee Jin-yong.

Even if he completes every match at 50 points, Director Mets and Collins will not allow him to rest for three days.

I don't know if it's post-season, but there's no reason to risk it in Penn Trace.

Nonetheless, Lee Jin-yong was expressing his will to fight over and over again while managing the helmet.

All the Mets kids are running with this thing after August, right?

to stimulate colleagues.

Literally.

Lee Jin-yong did not insist on a backing board after a 3-day break. Every time he speaks, he puts up a clue.

If there is a hole in the selection rotation, it can be filled if someone leaves with an injury or if they leave with a loss.

And what about the minds of the pitchers who heard the story?

If I can't, Lee Jin-yong will take my place, so I can be reasonably comfortable, don't you think?

Or Ace, for that matter. I don't think I'm gonna get taken away by that crazy son of a bitch, do you?

I feel bad for Mets' kids, but I can't believe they're on the same team as this idiot.

Of course, the answer was the latter.

Mets pitchers, especially pitchers, were trying to play their best without being lethargic even in the second half in front of the stimulus given by Lee Jin-yong.

The result is the current odds of Mets.

Metz's odds of starting at the beginning of the second half of the world began to rise with the beginning of the second half.

Of course, the atmosphere started to warm up.

“But the atmosphere is good because of me, right? ”

There was no carelessness in the Mets that ran like that.

At the same time, Metz was instilling fear into the league's teams through overwhelming competitiveness.

I was able to watch the World Series enough without binary dragons.

This is normal.

And that was the right direction for Kim Jinho to think.

The World Series stage was not a small stage enough to reach the top of the Earth with the Post Season in mind.

This is how you go to win the World Series.

That's why Kim Jin-ho couldn't tell Lee Jin-yong that he was wrong.

I also did not have any doubts about my path.

“I really don't have much left. ”

Yeah, August's almost over. Only a month left.

Above all, they were now able to see the destination they wanted so badly.

Deny what you've done so far in such a situation, pause and take a breath?

At least Kim Jinho and Lee Jin-yong didn't intend to.

Yeah, you better be sure about this one.

“Are you sure?

You're with Cubs next week, right?

Using all means and means to reach the destination more clearly.

“Yes, I am going to compete in the final match of my four-year competition with the Cubs. ”

You might meet Cubs in the Championship Series, so make sure you step on it this time.

Lee Jin-yong smiled at what Kim Jin-ho said.

“Yes, I will make the cubs look like Kim Jin-ho's face. ”

Yeah, Cubs like my face. What?

“So miserable, it means that the viewer will be horrified. ”

What's wrong with my face?

“It's not worth paying 15 bucks to see. ”

Oh, come on!

“Anyway, I'm going to make the Cup look like Kim Jin-ho! ”

Shut the fuck up!

13.

On August 25, Cubs and Mets' fourth showdown in Wrigley Field began.

[1st in Eastern District Mets vs. 1st in Central District Cups Brawl!]

[Post-Season Warfare Opens!]

In the same match as the Earth's 1st quarrel and the post-season outbreak, the two teams did not have a slight retreat.

Both teams struggled with their post-season aspirations for victory.

Of course, it was hard to believe that the game was Penny Trace.

[Mets, Cups wins Wave 1!]

[Joe Jones, ending 11 home runs!]

From the 1st to the 11th time, the teams were so fierce that 10 pitchers had embroidered the mount.

[Cubs, get revenge against Mets!]

[Cubs, take down the Ninth Horse Mets!]

Furthermore, in World War II, the atmosphere was only heightened by the success of avenging his first defeat.

Even Cubs' vengeance was not just revenge, but an epic turn of events created by beating Metz's finisher, Rick Holland, and of course, Cubs' atmosphere rose to the ends of the sky, and he expressed concern in Metz's Bullpen, who recorded the two consecutive days of the blonde save.

[Cancel Cubs vs. Mets 3rd Wave Weed!]

In that situation, the third war was eventually canceled in front of the rainfall.

But I was not disappointed in that.

[Cups vs. Mets Wave 4, double header confirmed!]

There was a fourth war that took forever waiting for them.

< 59.00. Left hand only (3). > End
