Cheat Hitter Eats It All 392

Chapter 392 – Episode 384. Embers.

“Oh, I missed it…”

The atmosphere was definitely good when I hit the tying home run… In the top of the 8th inning, Wonho, who was on the mound, ended up having an accident. Even during a practice game, he was unable to adapt to the Major League official ball, and after hitting a three-run home run by Gregorius, he came down from the mound.

After giving up 3 runs, Shin Su-ho, who came on the mound, blocked the inning and the offense and defense took turns, but there was silence in the dugout.

“Sorry…”

In that atmosphere, Wonho opened his mouth.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. “The game isn’t over yet.”

Seniors and coaches comforted Wonho, who bowed his head and said he was sorry, but Wonho’s head did not rise up. The others may have thought that it would be better for Wonho to be alone, so he moves away from Wonho’s side. However, as Wonho’s best friend, I couldn’t stand to see that happen.

“Hey, just do better next time.”

“Under… I’m sorry, Meng Hao. How did you get your score? .”

“Are you okay. Because this is my first time representing the national team. “Couldn’t you be nervous?”

Even though I had been through the WBC, it was Wonho’s first time on such a big stage. He is said to have experienced the Asian Games, but in fact, the Asian Games were of a lower level than the league, so it was natural for him to be nervous at the Olympics. Dutch hitters are not easy.

“Under… “I wanted to do well.”

Wonho’s voice drips with regret. I tapped Wonho’s shrunken shoulder. The slight tremor felt in his shoulder tells us how Wonho is feeling right now.

When I was in high school, I felt a little heartbroken seeing Wonho, who had comforted me during difficult times, like that. At the time, I was too busy being jealous of Wonho without feeling comforted, but now that I see Wonho trembling, I can see how he was comforting me.

“Bitch, things like that happen in life. Anyway, even if we lose one game, we will still rise to 3rd place. “Two of the three third-place teams are moving up, so why can’t they move up?”

“Third place, third place… Under…”

But my comfort seemed not to have reached Wonho’s heart, as he covered his face with both hands. His appearance was obscured by his hat, so when he lowered his head and looked at Wonho, tears were welling up in the corners of his eyes.

“Hey, are you crying? Are you crying? No, I’m crying because I hit a home run.”

“… “Shut up.”

“Bitch, I’ll do it for you.”

If it was our friendship, we could have done that much. 3 points? At about 3 points, it was possible because the score was tied with one three-run shot.

Perfect!

“Get out! Get out! Ah… Grab this.”

“Aren’t the Dutch kids crazy today? “You’re so fucking good.”

… It might seem a bit difficult.

Since 9th batter Kim Jeong-hyun was out, it was now my turn to stand by.

“Hey, I’m watching. “I will erase your defeat too.”

Before leaving the dugout, I leave a last word to Wonho and walk to the waiting box. Wonho, I will help you this time.

“Brother Joo-tae! Please hit me once!”

As I shouted loudly from the waiting stand, a smile appeared on Choi Joo-tae’s face as he was looking at me. It means you clearly understood what I said.

Ta – Aak!

And as if that smile wasn’t pretentious, Choi Joo-tae’s batted ball cuts through left-center.

-Wow!!!

-Choi Joo-tae! Choi Joo-tae! Choi Joo-tae!

Choi Joo-tae steps on first base, accompanied by the voices of Koreans who came to watch the game. And Choi Joo-tae running toward second base.

“Safe!”

“Nice!”

As expected, Choi Joo-tae! A change of atmosphere was needed, but the starting shortstop in the major league seemed to have lost his sense of humor and hit a double to lift the mood.

‘Okay, if you do this, you get at least 1 point!’

I didn’t think I couldn’t hit it, so as long as I got at least one point and told him the pitch from second base…

‘Why do you like it?’

‘Yes? The team hit a double, so of course we should be happy. A double hit… ‘A double?’

My heart flutters at Rossby’s words. No way… ?

“[I will skip it. It’s automatically intentional.]”

“[What are you doing? I didn’t walk anywhere intentionally.]”

“Oh! Fuck!”

The anxiety was not wrong. The Dutch guys filtered me out, probably because they had analyzed it perfectly, and I had no choice but to walk to first base.

Now the next batters are Ki Ki-joo, who has 1 hit in 3 at-bats today, and Kang Han-beom, who has no hits in 3 at-bats. My heart, which had been heated by Choi Joo-tae’s double, began to cool down.

‘Fuck…’

Still, the only thing to look forward to is the weather forecast that recorded a hit today. I couldn’t solve it when I ran to third base, but if I had the contact ability of a meteorite, it was enough…

Ta – Aak!

‘This is it!’

The weather note’s batted ball soars high and quickly toward left-center. This is a batted ball that Willie Mays cannot catch even if he comes back alive!

‘You’re not dead yet, idiot!’

When the batted ball hit the wall, he was already on second base, and Choi Joo-tae, the runner on second base, was running toward home.

‘To home?’

“Stop! Stop!”

As the third base approaches, you hear the third base coach’s call to stop at third base.

‘Mr. Rossby!’

‘Run!’

Third base coach and Rossby. If you ask me which of the two I should trust, my answer would be Mr. Rossby. After he circled and stepped on third base, he ran toward home without slowing down. As home gets closer, the catcher turns around.

‘Damage!’

Rossby’s words to avoid. At those words, he instinctively slid and twisted his body to the right. The feeling of the dirt and base brushing against his gloves. … And the feeling of the meat that cannot be felt.

‘It’s done!’

“Out!”

“Oh, shit! You dog-eyed bastard! Video! Coach! Video readout!”

As soon as the umpire called out, I immediately stood up and loudly shouted for the video review.

“What? The timing was out? Didn’t you reach it?”

“Yes. “I couldn’t tag you.”

As I was chatting with Joo-tae Choi, director Geum-hyeon Lee personally came out and requested to review the video he had saved…,

“… Safe!”

“Nice!”

The reading didn’t take that long. 2 points for this! The score is 5:4. In addition, Gyeonghaeju went all the way to second base. It seemed like the wind passing through my body was telling me that it was the beginning of a reversal.

“Jitterbug! Strike! Out!”

… It was the same.

“Oh, fuck!”

After striking out, fourth batter Kang Han-beom broke his bat,

“Base on balls!”

Although Joo Seung-cheol got on base with a walk, Kenley Jansen, the Netherlands’ closing pitcher and the player with the most saves in Major League Baseball history, took the mound early,

“Out!”

Our offense in the bottom of the 8th inning died down as quickly as it burned. And the price of missing the opportunity late in the game was high.

“Are you okay! All you have to do is win the remaining two games! “You know you can get up to third place, right?”

‘Fuck… Lose to the Netherlands?’

The remaining countries are Panama and Cuba. In theory, even 1 win and 2 losses could advance to the next round, but because there were complicated rules regarding multiple points or goal difference, the remaining games had to be won.

*

Dodger Stadium after the game. The faces of Asians leaving the stadium were divided into two groups. People smiling happily and people trudging along with gloomy expressions.

The people trudging along with gloomy expressions were, of course, Koreans, and the people smiling joyfully were, of course, people from all countries other than Koreans. Such as Japan or China.

And here.

“Ah, senior! Did you see the article I sent you? Please upload it tomorrow morning. About before the game starts? It will be good when the lineup comes out. I was spilling some crap on social media. … Yes, … Yes. It’s nighttime in Korea right now, so it’s time to get a little excited. Yes. All right. I will also be working on it.”

There was a man who left the stadium with a bright smile even though he was Korean. Of course, that man was reporter Choi of Xcatch.

‘Wow, from the mistake to the base hit. Thanks. ‘It’s Meng Hao.’

I was just hoping to lose, but when Ji Maeng-ho made a mistake, I couldn’t help but laugh.

As a reporter with over 10 years of experience, inserting mistakes and misspellings into an article was easier than breathing, and I thought, ‘Did you lose strength after having sex yesterday?’ ‘I stopped thinking about them…’ It wasn’t even a task to include a short sentence like ‘.’

When I added the details of today’s game to the finished article and sent it to Korea, I felt relieved.

‘If this is the case, the team leader will think that the travel expenses have been covered… ?’

All that’s left is to wait like a fisherman waiting for a bite. Reporter Choi did not lower the corners of his mouth in the near future.

‘Let’s see what public opinion is like in Korea?’

-[Official] Korea loses its first game.

Fuck you, you’re doomed haha

┗ㅅㅂ Come swim and get robbed by a team like the Netherlands lol There are 3 professional leagues in the world ㄹㅇ They’re legends

┗┗ㅈㄹㄴ Taiwan also has a professional league, Australia also has one, and there are many in Europe. The Netherlands also has a professional league

┗┗I’m proud of this, you leisure junkies haha. They play for an annual salary of 20 million won. Can’t they beat that? In fact, even the baseball team of society couldn’t win.

┗┗Bogaerts’ salary is more expensive than the combined salaries of the Korean players?

┗┗Yes~ I wish I had a lot of excuses haha ​​I’m full of leisure time~~!!!

┗ㅋㅋㅋ After crossing the Pacific Ocean, there will be no more baseball, so let’s compete as a swimmer~~!!

┗Leisure bugs are happy that they won the Asian Games, but eventually they get better after going to the Olympics, right? LOL

┗┗Leisure athletes are welcome. Because I paid money to see it haha

┗Even though these pigs and dogs are good, I will watch the fucking bar after the Olympics haha. Why do I watch KBA with no skills and only a high salary?

┗┗That doesn’t stop me from watching Gary LOL

┗┗? I’m not a renovation fan?

┗┗No, there are more than 10 pages of text in the remodeled gallery

┗Honestly, I heard that you were the runner-up in the WBC with a bang, but aren’t the skills of those Leisure kids going anywhere? It’s amazing that it’s so popular.

┗┗Italy was also eliminated from the World Cup, but soccer is very popular?

┗┗Italy won the Euros, bitch

┗┗We also won the Asian Games and were runners-up in the WBC?

┗┗Just live your life beating the daughter of the past like that haha

┗Honestly, I don’t know why they maintain a professional league in a sport that has no skills, bad personality, and is a disgrace to the country haha. People who aren’t even at the level of Dutch members of society earn hundreds of millions of dollars in annual salary? Haha, it’s not a charity project

┗┗Real charity work is renovation that collects tax money.

┗┗The level of Dutch members of society is damn haha. Right now, the only major starters are Bogaerts, Propa, Gregorius, Scoop, van den Berg, and Jensen. There are 6 players and a lot of minor leaguers, and Bogaerts and Jensen are guys aiming for great games.

┗┗I told you not to lose if you tried to trick me haha

┗Why are there so many people supporting Leja on soccer game sites?

┗┗When did the soccer game site change? LOL

-Still, a number of cases remain. Anyway, even if we finish 3rd in this Olympics, there is a possibility because two teams will advance. Just look at the number of goals scored and the goal difference

┗ㅅㅂ It’s embarrassing to even think about the number of cases.

‘There was an uproar. I’m so obsessed with playing ball. Ji Maeng-ho: Let’s see what public opinion is like.’

– Ji Maeng-ho, this bastard is said to be the best of all time and is so high in potential, but he makes mistakes and runs on base haha. Those bastards who watch Fuck Bar are sucking for this bastard?

┗Honestly, Ji Maeng-ho did everything he could today? 2 hits in 2 at-bats, a double, a home run, two walks, and two stolen bases. What more should I do?

┗┗I made a mistake haha

┗┗I was trying to avoid making mistakes. Those idiots who don’t even know what they’re talking about are so damn stupid

┗┗Yes. In the first inning, I went from no out to a base hit and lost the mood.

┗┗If you look closely, your hand touches it first. Ji Maeng-ho is not at fault

┗┗You bastards will protect Ji at all costs haha. Ji Maeng-ho is responsible~

Public opinion was 50% on Ji Maeng-ho. Since he lost the game, he was biased towards the bad side, but public opinion in his favor was also somewhat mixed.

-Ji Maeng-ho, it was a waste today.

┗Just do well in the next game. Still, they are talented players, so they will not be eliminated.

– Let’s cheer instead of making fun of one game!

┗Fighting national team!

┗It won’t fall, right?

┗┗With this rule, two teams will advance to third place and will not fall.

-What is the home run today? How did I get over this position?

┗Not just a person. Gorilla Lime

┗To be honest, Van den Berg is also a major-leaguer, so this is enough for him to be a fierce defender.

┗But didn’t the batters vomit today?…

-Hehe, the day has come when Korean baseball is destroyed. Well, it was planned.

┗The national team is destroyed ㅡ The fuck bar is fine

Although the atmosphere on sites where people enjoy watching baseball tended to be largely supportive.

‘It’s not enough, it’s not enough.’

This level of public opinion was not enough for his article to have more explosive power. However, if it is lacking, you can fill it up. Reporter Choi sometimes went in and logged in using the ID he had created to create public opinion.

-But it looks like Ji Maeng-ho just hung out at the Olympic village. I work at a restaurant near the athletes’ village, and he comes here every night with a woman…

┗SY Agency will sue for false information. Be careful what you say.

┗Is it true? Ji Maeng-ho I know there are people in Korea who are aware of the women’s issue… I hope not.

-ㅋㅋ If only I had less sex, I would have lived on third base…

┗What does that mean?

┗┗He is famous for having sex with these bastards near the athletes’ village haha

┗┗If you look at the outline of the fierce god of defense, white horses would be amazed haha

┗┗It’s everyday life for an alpha male like a fierce warrior. Hehe…

-I knew I was going to lose. I work at a restaurant in LA, and even the day before the game, he came over for a drink.

┗Who?

┗┗He is a very famous player in Korea.

┗┗Typography? Pitcher?

┗┗Let’s type. The kid who made a mistake today

┗┗The only mistake today is Ji Maeng-ho?

┗┗I don’t know much about baseball, so I don’t know who he is. But after listening to people around me, I heard that he was a national baseball player. Today I came out and watched it on TV and he appeared. I also make mistakes.

Mr. ┗┗, Please delete this as this will be accused of false information.

┗┗It’s not false. There’s nothing to be scared of, so why am I deleting it?

‘Good. At this level, there will be some response when the article comes out.’

After completing his work, reporter Choi put away his cell phone with a satisfied look on his face. He’s lit the fire, now all that’s left is to wait for it to flare up. It was a day I was looking forward to tomorrow.
