Chapter 843 – Episode 829. 2027 ALCS. (1)
[This batted ball! Let’s go! In the top of the 7th inning, Trout followed up with a home run, making the score 3:2! The Angels still have Trout!]
[Wow, this fall’s Trout is scary, isn’t it? He has already hit a home run in three consecutive games.]
[… Ji Maeng-ho’s two-run home run! Bottom of the 7th inning! Drive a wedge! Score 5:2!]
[Ah, in this case, it can be said that the Yankees almost took Game 2, right?]
[… Mason Miller on the mound in the top of the 9th inning. He has appeared in 57 games this season, posting a 2.35 average and 45 saves. … Mason Miller concedes 2 points but preserves the win! Score 5:4! The Yankees take two games at home!]
*
-Yankees, take the win! 2nd consecutive win in the series!
… Meanwhile, Trout struggled by hitting home runs in three consecutive playoff games, going 1 hit in 4 at-bats, 1 home run, and 1 RBI, but the Yankees had Ji Maeng-ho. Ji Maeng-ho led the Yankees’ batting lineup with 2 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 home run, and 2 RBIs, and the Yankees won 5:4 thanks to Ji Maeng-ho’s performance…
*
[In the bottom of the 5th inning, down 5:2, Trout has the opportunity to load the bases with one out. Trout’s performance today was 2 at-bats and no hits. … Trout’s batted ball! Second baseman in front! To first base! You can’t come back! The New York Yankees count two outs at once!]
[Ah… Looking at Trout’s momentum these days, it seemed like he would solve this chance… Angels fans will be disappointed.]
[… Ji Maeng-ho’s batted ball! Let’s go! Ji Maeng-ho drives a wedge! Score 6:2! Hit a home run in 3 consecutive games! … Stanton’s batted ball! Let’s go! Two-run home run 8:2! This score is big! … Game over! Score 9:2! The New York Yankees advance to the Championship Series by putting to rest the sensational LA Angels!]

“Senior, you worked hard. Uh? Are you crying?”
“Why are you crying, you brat?”
“No? “It looks like you’re crying?”
“I’m not crying!”
“But, are you going back to Korea now? Or retirement?”
Senior Joo Tae, whom I met after the game, had slightly red eyes. He vehemently denied that it was him, but anyone could see that he looked like he was crying.
Well, it didn’t look particularly ugly though. Joo-tae senior is also a short hitter, but he did his part enough to hit .400. Perhaps, he instinctively felt that this fall was his last fall.
“Bitch, what kind of retirement is this when I get paid 12 million dollars? “I have to stick around until I poop.”
“… “How long does the contract last?”
“28 years. It ends next year, so I’ll have to stick with it until the end. Hey, my brother is an Angels legend in his own right.”
“… Fighting.”
… Although it seemed a little ugly to say that he would stick to the major leagues without even exceeding 0.7 OPS.
While I was talking with senior Joo-tae, Trout, who had talked with Cole and Judge, walked towards me. I wanted to talk to senior Joo-tae, but Trout extended his hand to me.
“Ji. He was good at it. Haha, if we had a hitter like you on our team, we could have risen further…”
“Well, you’re good at that too, aren’t you?”
Actually, Trout did a good job. In today’s game, he was 0-for-4 and hit a double play on a chance, but in the previous two games, he showed such a scary performance that I even flinched a little.
Did Trout prove why he was Trout? Well, it is also like Trout that he has never won a championship with this kind of skill.
“Haha…”
And Trout laughs bitterly at my words. Trout probably also knew that this fall was an opportunity that could never come again. It was unusual for the batting rhythm to be aligned in the fall like this.
Moreover, the team that cannot be guaranteed to come in the fall next year is the LA Angels…
“Someday, Trout will have his chance. Well, maybe after I retire. Argh! Senior! Why are you hitting me?”
“Bitch, you and Mike are over ten years older than me, and I’m not making fun of anyone. Mike, let’s go.”
Indeed… Even if you give me a compliment.
Seeing that senior Joo-tae was not using his heart kindly, it seemed like it would be wrong for Trout to win in this life. Ah, there was one way.
“Then, come join our team next year. I’ll let you win once. “I can request a trade after the season.”
Well, since we’re still looking at center field, he’ll be much better than Verdugo or Kelnick.
“Haha, that’s a joke…”
Trout laughs at my words. Anyway, seeing as I couldn’t take it even if I was given a chance to win, it seemed like I wasn’t the type of person to win in my life.
“Joo. Let’s go back.”
“Okay. Ah, Meng Hao. And congratulations on being the Division Series MVP.”
For reference, I heard that there was a new division series MVP starting this year, and although the results haven’t been released yet, the winner was, of course, me.
I hit 4 home runs in 3 games, but it was strange for other players to get it, so is it a natural result?
“Yes. Senior, please go back to Korea and win a championship. “It will be easy because I won’t be there.”
“This bastard until the end… Ugh… It’s done.”
That’s how Joo-tae and Trout return.
Trout, who dominated the major leagues, and Joo-tae, who left a mark in the major leagues by hitting .300 for four consecutive years and hitting 1,000 hits in the major leagues, are looking so lonely…
Especially when I see Trout like that, one thought comes to mind.
‘… ‘I will never go to the Angels.’
As soon as Mr. Rossby met me, I felt like I could understand why he told me to go to a good team.

-The New York Yankees defeat the LA Angels and advance to the Championship Series!
… The New York Yankees, who recorded 121 wins and 41 losses this season, the most wins and the second-highest winning percentage ever, defeated the LA Angels as experts predicted…, At the center of it all is Ji Maeng-ho, who hit .406, 7 runs, 4 home runs, and 8 RBIs in 3 games…
Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho, who hit .467/0.500/1.333/1.833 with 4 home runs and 8 RBIs, was honored with the newly established Division Series MVP award from this season…
-LA Dodgers defeat Cincinnati Reds to advance to championship series!
… The Dodgers won a landslide victory with 7 home runs and 24 runs scored, and the LA Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds with a 3-0 series score… Meanwhile, transfer student Fernando Tatis Jr. Was honored with the newly created Division Series MVP award.
Fernando Tatis Jr. Hit 0.545/0.667/1.455/2.122 with 3 home runs and 5 RBIs in 3 games of the Division Series…
-Atlanta Braves defeat the Philadelphia Phillies and advance to the Championship Series!
… The Atlanta Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0… Meanwhile, Atlanta Braves’ ace Sandy Alcantara earned the honor of Division Series MVP by posting 1 win with 11 Ks in 7 scoreless innings…
As a result, the three teams with over 100 wins this season, the New York Yankees (121-41), LA Dodgers (118-44), and Atlanta Braves (110-51), all defeated their opponents 3:0 in the division series…
Meanwhile, the game between the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros, fighting for the final spot in the championship series, ended 2:1 as the Red Sox, who had suffered two losses, won one against Houston…
┗There’s definitely a reason why we surpassed 100 wins haha
┗The teams that are supposed to go up have gone up haha
┗So who do you think will get the trash can and trash can?
┗┗Houston seems to be on the rise haha
-Red Sox! Balancing the series!
… The Red Sox, who prepared for Game 4 with Trilling, who rested for three days, won 5:4 thanks to Valdez’s walk-off hit…
┗Reverse sweep!!!!
┗ㅋㅋㅋ Will the trash can fall?
-Altube! Dramatic home run! Houston wins a ticket to New York!
… Meanwhile, Houston succeeded in turning the tables with Altuve’s two-run home run, and Houston maintained a two-point lead and took the final spot in the championship series.
Jose Altuve (0.409/0.435/0.682/1.117, 1 home run, 5 RBIs), who hit a dramatic home run in Game 5, received the honor of Series MVP…
The New York Yankees and Houston Astros, who faced each other in the 2026 Championship Series, will face each other again this year… Houston won last year’s championship series…
┗Revenge!!!!
┗ㅋㅋㅋ Revenge match Jiriㅋㅋ
┗How are you going to stop the fierce god of defense?

“Hey, Kim Won-ho. It’s bad, it’s bad. Are you following me here too?”
“Hey, my girlfriend is here, can’t we just lose one game?”
“Huh? Did I come more? “I also brought the kids.”
“No, ha… I get it. But kids? Wasn’t there just one crew member?”
“… Uh? Ah, the baby in the stomach is also a baby.”
“Well, that’s true. Anyway, let’s do well today.”
Wonho, who was selected as the starter for Game 1 of the championship series against Houston, cried as soon as they met. It seemed like dealing with us was a burden.
‘Well, that means the team trusts me that much.’
Wonho’s performance this season is 4.19 ERA and 11 wins and 8 losses in 156.2 innings in 30 games, which is a respectable record in Houston. There was a reason he came out as a starter in such an important game.
Although Houston’s ace was Hunter, Hunter had 14 wins, 8 losses, and a 4.26 rating, and the next-best player, Urias, had 13 wins, 11 losses, and a 4.58 rating, so in some ways, Wonho was no different from Houston’s ace.
Well, Valdez, who returned from injury, recorded 11 wins, 1 loss, and 3.31, but he only pitched 84 innings.
It wasn’t strange for Wonho to hear Ace.
And Wonho proved himself in the second game of the division series against Boston, allowing only 2 runs in 7.2 innings.
However, I felt a little sorry for Wonho when I said this, but as long as I heard that Wonho was the 1st or 2nd starter, I could see that the power difference between us and us was quite large.
Houston had eight batters hit double-digit home runs, and its main lineup of Altuve, Tucker, and Alvarez all recorded an OPS of 0.9 or higher, making Houston a team that had built its wins based on a strong lineup.
If the Angels are a team that feels like a practice partner, then Houston is a team that smells like a strong team?
However, the opponent was bad.
Although I messed up the average OPS quite a bit, the average OPS of our batting lineup are around 0.9.
The only players exceeding 1 were 3, including me, Judge and Soto. And Stanton was also around 0.9, and except for center field, all other positions were over 0.8, so we were being told that we were the strongest batting line in Major League history.
In addition, the pitching staff was almost overwhelming, with Rodon, the worst, being the opponent’s third starter with 15 wins, 6 losses, and 4.61.
In other words, Houston and we had a perfect hierarchical relationship.
“Wonho, I’m sorry. “I’ll go up again this time.”
Every time we meet in the fall, I feel like I’m the only one going up, but I still can’t lose.
“… It won’t be easy, right? “I’m in good condition today.”
“But I don’t think it would be that difficult? “I’m also in good condition.”
“Useup…”
“If you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of Mr. Jesu, if possible, filter me out. No, even with bases loaded.”
“Wow, look at your confidence. “I’ll shake off the dog today, look forward to it.”
Is it because of my mood that I seem to lack confidence in Wonho’s voice saying he will shake off the dog? Well, I think we met two or three times in the fall, and each time the dog got robbed, so it was natural that Wonho lacked confidence.
‘But I’ll finish it 3-0, so we won’t meet again, Wonho. This is my brother’s last consideration.’
