Ch 108
4.
Whoa!
As soon as the bat and the ball collided and made a sound, everything on the ground began to move busily.
‘Fuck!’
The batter who hit the ball sprinted towards first base while swallowing insults, and the runner on first base made a similar noise and sprinted toward second base.
‘OK!’
On the other hand, the shortstop caught the ball coming towards him with a smile and threw it to second base, and the second baseman who had already entered the second base cover caught the ball with a similar smile.
The second baseman, who had already touched the second base early, immediately turned to the first base.
What caught the eyes of such a second baseman was the first base runner who tried to slide towards him even though he was already out.
The second baseman was not embarrassed by that fact.
Rather, as soon as he threw the ball as if he had waited, he immediately retreated from second base.
The ball thrown by the second baseman went into the glove of the first baseman, which was barely hanging on the first base with the straight leg out.

pop!
The bustle of the ground ended with that.
“out!”
At the end of the 4th inning, it was the moment when the Doxes’ chance to score ended with a blow.
“shit! Get sick again!”
“No, what the fuck are you doing!”
“It’s the 3rd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment!”
In addition, it was the third one by Dox today.
1st, 2nd and 4th, three times.
“What do you do if you get a hit against Ho-woo Lee? I’m going to blow it all away!”
“Dogs patta bastards, calm down and play baseball!”
“Damn, it’s the first day I tasted Lee Ho-woo, and the Dogs are shoveling, shoveling!”
“It’s not the first time I’ve tasted Lee Ho. Did you have a taste to meet? Would a sane person do a heavy rain?”
In other words, it also meant that the Dogs got the batter on base in the 1st, 2nd and 4th innings today.
– Ho-Woo Lee gets a lot of hits.
– ㅇㅇ Lee Jin-yong looks like he has a scar. It looks like it will break without a score today.
– If I conceded a goal today, would Yoohyeon-seung admit it?
Of course, it wasn’t unusual to get a hit.
Even though it was Jinyong Lee, there were only two times that he led the game without giving a hit.
The problem is the content.
– Do you think Jinyong Lee’s condition is not good today?
B It’s not in good condition, but the referee’s decision is like a dog!
B Yes, only in the eyes of the Angels fans.
B No, the referee’s decision today is tough. But it doesn’t matter if it’s the Angels or the Dogs, it’s just a matter of time.
ㄴ Isn’t this really Ho-Woo Lee’s scoreless break?
Jinyong Lee felt like he was giving out hits easier than usual today.
– No, apart from the referee’s decision, isn’t it a problem that Hou Lee has only one strikeout today?
– Mr. eighteen just turned eighteen.
– The biggest problem is that there are fewer strikeouts than others.
Crucially, the fact that Jin-yong Lee only struck out one strikeout up to the 4th inning made the viewers, the Angels fans, and the players uneasy.
‘Is Jinyong a problem?’
‘The guy who struck out 18 in the last game was one strikeout in 4 innings…’
‘Isn’t this supposed to be taken down early without overdoing it?’
The players’ eyes, who harbored that anxiety, naturally had no choice but to turn to Jin-yong Lee, who entered the dugout.
The appearance of Lee Jin-yong reflected in their eyes was as expected by everyone.
As soon as he entered the dugout, Jinyong Lee immediately put on a towel and bowed his head.
Then he began to mumble in a small voice.
Truly a murmur that no other than a ghost could hear.
Therefore, the Angels players who saw it thought.
‘Ah, Jin-yong Lee seems to be having a hard time now.’
Jinyong Lee is in a very difficult situation right now.
‘We have to help.’
So now is the time for them to help Lee Jin-yong.
“Ah, ending the inning with a fatal blow, so there is less chance of a downpour. Today, there will be no 20 downpours. ah! I want to rain!”
– Shut up, I’m ashamed to hear you!
The moment a big illusion dominated the game in many ways, it was after a little more time that that illusion was broken.

Whoa!
As soon as the bat and the ball collided and made a sound, everything on the ground began to move.
But there was no rush in the movement.
It wasn’t that everyone’s actions were slow or procrastinating.
Those who moved were obviously doing their best.
However, the reason why I didn’t feel the rush was because it was a landscape I was used to.
No matter how busy you are, if you’ve seen it about five times, it’s hard to feel busy in the process.
That was the case with the one-four runner at first base at the end of the 7th inning.
“Damn, I’m sick again!”
“No, it’s already the fifth one!”
Dogs, they hit their fifth kill today.
“Damn, are you wearing a scar?”
It is often said
If you get three kills in one game, you can’t win the game.
From that point of view, five kills are literally a guarantee of defeat.
“What’s the matter? Is it a good fit for today’s bat?”
“Aren’t we the only ones who hit Lee Jin-yong like this?”
What made the Dogs even more irritable, irritable and irritable was that they showed a surprising hit against Jinyong Lee today.
Dogs hitters drew 5 hits against Jinyong Lee up to the 7th inning, while only allowing 3 strikeouts.
Of course, if a regular pitcher recorded 5 hits and 3 strikeouts in 7 innings, it could be said that he pitched well.
But Jinyong Lee is different.
Looking back at Jinyong Lee’s days of nonsensical throwing, it was like a miracle that he only contributed 3 strikeouts in return for pulling out 5 hits in 7 innings against him.
So, even though the Angels are leading the score now 4-0, the Dogs did not have any complaints about that fact.
“Fighting batters! Another chance will come!”
“You still have two innings left!”
Even pitchers applauded the fact that batters hit repeatedly rather than blaming batters who couldn’t score.
Furthermore, there were expectations.
“Damn, if I do my best, I think I can score one point today……”
“Whether you lose or not, you only need to pick one point. So today is a dinner party.”
1 point.
The expectation that he will be able to achieve something that no one has ever achieved from Jinyong Lee.
That anticipation was the only basis for Dox to fight in a match that was already heavily defeated.
– The team called Dogs is a good name. You run like a crazy dog, looking at only one point.
And the expectation they had was their weakness.
– Throwing feet caught, caught.
There is nothing as flawed as an animal that runs for the carrot in front of you just to score one point.
– The Dogs still don’t even notice that Jinyong is throwing a fucking ball.
It was Lee Jin-yong’s harness, not anything else, that even attacked the loopholes of such Dogs.
“It’s a fucking ball, do you really need to use that expression while leaving the expression ‘magura’?”
Jinyong Lee, he has used the current 7 harness skills up to the 7th.
The pitch that uses the harness skill is a two-seam fastball.
In addition, all the five balls that produced the Byeongsaltae were balls that used harness skills.
– It’s a fucking ball, right?
“Even if it sounds like a dick, it’s a bit naive…….”
– Okay, then let’s call it a ball like Jinyong Lee. Still, the Dogs don’t even notice that Jinyong throws a fucking ball like Lee Jinyong!
“Ah, really.”
But now, none of the Dox players were aware of the fact that Jinyong Lee threw the ball like a harness.
‘Well, it’s true that’s fucking true…’
Jinyong Lee, there were two types of balls he could make with his harness skills.
A ball that moves so absurdly that it makes a sound the moment you see it.
On the other hand, a ball with a subtle but clear difference that is indistinguishable.
The way Jinyong Lee used his wild skills today was the latter.
Two percent different balls.
That was the reason the Dogs players didn’t notice.
‘There is no reason to be in Korea if you hit a ball that is only 2% different.’
And that was Jinyong Lee’s goal.
If Jin-yong Lee threw a different and more powerful ball, regardless of who saw it, the dog hitters would have noticed the fact and responded to it.
A huge snake suddenly jumped out of the bushes, and there were no humans who could easily enter the bushes naked?
If that happens, dog hitters will not be hasty swinging the bat to Jin-yong Lee’s ball with careful consideration, and Jin-yong Lee’s pitching count will inevitably increase.
Conversely, a ball that differs only by 2% cannot be recognized.
It will happen without you even knowing it.
Moreover, Lee Jin-yong created a situation in which dog hitters could not care about his two minds.
‘I can see the goal score in front of the dog hitters, and there is nothing else I can see.’
Against no one else, Jin-yong Lee, the situation where Mr. Zero can get the first RBI from the scoreless man.
Even if your head tells you not to move, it’s a situation that makes your heart swing the bat.
‘The referee’s decision is rather weak.’
Further, the Dogs hitters knew the strike zone was in their favor today.
Lee Jin-yong’s ball that fits well today, an advantageous strike judgment, and even an opportunity to catch a dragon that surpasses the big word of Lee Jin-yong.
There was no reason not to hit aggressively, so all the hitters in the Dogs ran like crazy just seeing the fact that they wanted to be the one-run or one-run lead.
‘So I can’t even see my pitcher.’
By the end of the 7th inning, Jinyong Lee only pitched 61 pitches without any awareness.
Without knowing that they are already struggling in the trap Lee Jin-yong has made.
‘I wish I could go like this.’
Because of this, Jinyong Lee hoped that this situation would continue, and that the German hitters would continue to look at only one point as it is.
‘It can’t be.’
But Lee Jin-yong knew that it couldn’t be.
– Jinyong-ah, if you want to go to the bathroom, go now. The start of episode 8 will be very long.
“What kind of toilet is the bathroom all of a sudden?”
– Your face looks like a poopy expression. Oh sorry. You said that’s a heroic expression, right? Shall I sing you a song?
“It’s noisy.”
‘Now our batters are going to explode.’
Because the most dangerous thing right now was the Angels’ battalion, not anything else.
6.
In the beginning of the 8th, the Angels’ batting line exploded.
– Big! big! big!
– It’s over.
– Home run! Ho-Chan Lee’s Three Run!
In fact, it was a belated explosion.
– Finally, the Angels battalion exploded properly.
– Today’s Angels hitters have a good sense of batting, but it didn’t feel like they didn’t score well.
The Angels batting line felt good from the start of the game.
To be precise, the referee’s strike zone decision was made today, and the same was true when the Angels faced the Dogs.
Dogs’ pitcher was also unable to pitch properly in front of the narrow strike zone.
In other words, it means that he scored 4 goals up to the 7th inning even though the hitting didn’t work out well.
The power of such an explosion when it explodes is nothing.
– With this, the difference in score increases to 10-0.
In that way, the Angels scored a whopping 6 points in the beginning of the 8th inning, widening the score difference by 10 points.
It was a score that changed the atmosphere of the game itself, beyond the level of putting a wedge in the game.
“Ugh, it’s over now.”
“What kind of attack do you play like football?”
because it was too long
Due to the long attack, the tension of those watching the match had to be relieved.
It was thanks to that.
“Now, Hou Lee will come out.”
“Now that the match has been lost, the only thing Dox has to do is score a point against Lee Ho-woo.”
“Are you going to come out, Hou Lee? Are you flirting today? I’m going to score points, wouldn’t it be better to just end it here? Are you so right today? Seven scoreless innings is enough.”
Those who watched the game were finally able to see that fact.
“But you didn’t throw a few balls today, did you?”
“You didn’t throw 100 pitches, did you throw around 90 pitches?”
“Let’s see where… haha.”
“why?”
“Lee Jin-yong threw 61 pitches until the 7th?”
“What? 61 wards? No, really? 61 wards? Aren’t you gossiping?”
“What am I going to do with something like this? 61 wards!”
“Gura?”
“No, that’s not it…”
Jinyong Lee, it was only at the beginning of the 8th that I found out that he was showing ridiculous pitching.
“Oh My God.”
“Crazy, are you trying to get Greg Maddox to complete the 76th pitch? and! he’s crazy It looks like they are trying to break the Korean professional baseball record again!”
“uh? Wait, it wouldn’t be…”
“Come out!”
In such a situation, when Jinyong Lee walked towards the mound at the end of the 8th inning, no one was talking about a crisis for Jinyong Lee anymore.
gulp!
Once again, only the sound is filled with tension.
It was then that everyone realized.
Jinyong Lee, he’s a monster.
A monster that refuses to compare with anything else!
7.
The dugout is noisy. The sound of fans, players, coaches, and officials talking non-stop reverberates.
The ground is cluttered. It’s a stage where the fielders move and the hitters move.
Only the mound is silent.
– After all, the mound is the best.
Kim Jin-ho liked that fact.
– This feeling that something that wasn’t normally possible will be all over the moment you get on the mound.
The silence that occurs the moment you step out of the noisy dugout, through the cluttered ground, and step on the mound, and the five senses and concentration sharpened in the stillness.
– It feels like I can pull out 120% of my power?
Kim Jin-ho was able to pull out 120% of his bar the moment he climbed the mound, so he enjoyed being on the mound more than anything else.
And that was the most basic thing needed to become a ruler, a pitcher representing the league, and a legend.
The world of pros is not generous enough to give glory to those who can’t bring out even half of what they have the moment they get on the mound.
And it was the same with Jinyong Lee.
He also had a good mound.
“okay? You are a little different from me.”
– what?
“I think I can get about 150 percent of it.”
– Yeah, your shit is thick.
On the mound, Jinyong Lee seemed to be able to bring out more than what he had.
– So what are you going to do from now on? From now on, the Dogs kids are going to pay attention and watch the ball as much as possible, right?
Jin-ho Kim asked such a question to Jin-yong Lee.
– Even if you strike out three pitches against the remaining six batters right now, the number of pitches would be 18, then the number of pitches would be 79, and 79 pitches would be a shutout.
79 shutout wins.
This is an amazing and great record.
However, if he was going to be satisfied with that fact, there would be no reason for Jinyong Lee to be on the mound now.
– Three pitches short of Maddox’s record?
Isn’t this an opportunity to challenge Greg Maddox’s incredible record, nothing else?
Of course, Jinyong Lee was planning to take advantage of this opportunity.
He will surpass Greg Maddox’s record and further show the world what kind of pitcher Jin-Yong Lee is.
“We have to provoke him to swing the bat somehow.”
– How are you going to taunt me?
At that, Jinyong Lee laughed.
End
