[You have acquired Skill Up (A).]

[You have acquired the Skill Master.]

[You have acquired the Bad Ball Heater (E).]

Jinyong Lee began to worry about two things the moment he received the results from the 10 batter strikeouts recorded for the first time in the major leagues, the two diamond roulette tickets he received as a new record for strikeouts in a streak in the major leagues, and the platinum roulette that he spent points on.

– Oh, damn it! Another fucking trash game! huh? Jinyong-ah, why aren’t you raining?

One is the question of how to make fun of Kim Jin-ho more reliably.

‘How do I catch Bumgarner with this?’

The other was to make sure that Madison Bumgarner and the Giants, who would soon have Lee Jin-yong, be defeated.

– Jinyong-ah, why? suddenly anxious.

“I’m thinking about it.”

– worry? what are you worried about?

“How can I make Kim Jin-ho more angry?”

Jin-ho Kim exclaimed at the words of Jin-yong Lee, with a serious expression on his face.

– Oh, really! I’m the one to worry about!

“And what do we need to do to make sure that the Giants with Bumgarner are trampled on?”

However, at Lee Jin-yong’s next words, Kim Jin-ho stopped getting angry and looked at Lee Jin-yong with slightly startled eyes.

– You want to trample Bumgarner?

“How is Bumgarner’s current form in the eyes of Jinho Kim?”

Jin-ho Kim answered Lee Jin-yong’s question without hesitation.

– The best. Even if I call him Kim Jin-ho, left-handed, there is not enough.

At that, Jinyong also nodded his head.

“Excluding the fact that Bum Garner is more handsome, taller, has a better personality, has a better personality, has been in a relationship, and even got married, it can be said that he is left-handed Kim Jin-ho.”

– You naughty bastard, how come you don’t get past one?

That was the highest compliment Jinyong Lee could give to another pitcher.

Jin-yong Lee thinks that the best pitcher was Jin-ho Kim, and being on a par with Jin-ho Kim meant that Madison Bumgarner’s form was the best.

– Anyway, it’s true that Madison Bumgarner’s form is at its peak.

Naturally, it was not easy to imagine a scene where Mets batters would score properly against Madison Bumgarner like that.

– To the extent that it is possible to win a shutout against Mets batters as well as play a no-hit game.

Rather, all batters, including Jinyong Lee, scored 9 innings without scoring against Madison Bumgarner.

– Not to mention, Bumgarner, who had a shutout victory on the World Series stage, is not afraid that a pitcher will come out.

What if Madison Bumgarner and Jinyong Lee get together?

The picture most of them imagined was the same.

0 to 0.

Both pitchers will pitch clean in 9 innings, and the game will eventually go into overtime.

– Well, you’re throwing a little too much now, so there’s a good chance it’ll end in a no-decision if the two of you stick together.

With no decision, no winners and no losers, Jinyong Lee and Madison Bumgarner were highly likely to secure the match next.

However, Jinyong Lee did not intend to be satisfied with such a result.

– Naturally, the match will be scheduled for the next one, and if you look at the future schedule, there is a high possibility that the next postseason will be.

We didn’t know when we would face Madison Bumgarner again, and if we met next time, it was highly likely that the stage would be a postseason stage rather than a pennant race.

‘This time, we have to see the match for sure.’

That is why Jinyong Lee wanted to make a clear decision in this matchup.

‘Sure enough to scream the moment you see me in the postseason.’

I wanted to instill fear so clearly that the Giants, who faced Jinyong Lee in the postseason, had Madison Bumgarner to play in the second game to avoid Jinyong Lee.

So what is the way?

Then, Jinho Kim said.

– I’ll tell you how. Jinyong, you hit a home run against Bumgarner after you use your skill-up and skill master to make the slugger master rank! Jinyong-ah, you can do it!

At Jinho Kim’s words, Jinyong Lee nodded and said as if he had remembered something.

“That would be great.”

Jin-ho Kim said, reflecting on Lee Jin-yong’s answer.

– That’s right? right? Would you like my method? huh?

Jin-yong Lee said to Jin-ho Kim.

“Yes, I think it would be great.”

– boy! Yeah, I’m not going to tell you to fuck me? Hitting a home run against Bumgarner! Master the slugger! Before you change your mind quickly, try upgrading your slugger skills.

In front of such Kim Jin-ho, Lee Jin-yong immediately used skill-up and skill master items.

[The skill rank of the switching skill has increased to A rank.]

[The skill rank of the switching skill has become the master rank.]

– yes? Jinyoung? what are you doing?

“Are you solving a problem?”

– worry?

“How can I make Kim Jin-ho even more upset? That is the question. Voila! It’s done!”

– Fuck real!

Kim Jin-ho is terrified.

Looking at him, Jinyong Lee smiled.

At this moment, Jinyong Lee found a way.

‘If we can’t see the game in the ninth, we’ll have to put Bumgarner on the mound in the 10th.’

A picture was finally drawn in Jinyong Lee’s mind.

‘If I say I will throw with only my right hand, the Giants and Bumgarner will definitely try to kill me, and if I enter the 10th inning in that state… Oh, would you like to try that? Oh, I wish the Giants fans would boo.’

A painting that turns AT&T Park into a nightmare.

And the picture became a reality.

6.

In the beginning of the ninth, Madison Bumgarner’s pitching on the mound of the Giants didn’t change anything.

– Bumgarner! He ended up keeping it in the ninth without a score!

9 innings and 17 strikeouts.

He pitched 112 pitches.

It was a perfect pitch with no flaws anywhere.

The Giants fans applauded for Madison Bumgarner’s pitching.

“It’s also Bumgarner!”

“The Legend of the Giants!”

“The great ace is back!”

At this moment, before the eyes of Giants fans, Madison Bumgarner’s performance on the stage of the 2014 World Series shone.

The most ecstatic memory they can think of has made the hearts of Giants fans crazy.

But that feeling didn’t last long.

– Now Lee is on the mound.

As soon as a small pitcher came up after Madison Bumgarner, the Giants fans stopped applauding and started booing.

Whoa!

The boos from all directions filled the ground at once.

suffocating.

In the end, the booing sound let out a sigh.

“Whoa!”

A sigh escaped from Garcia’s mouth, the 5th Garcia of the Giants, who was now facing Jinyong Lee for the fourth time, not on the mound.

That was unavoidable.

‘Damn it.’

At this moment, Garcia didn’t have the confidence to repay the huge expectations of the Giants fans.

Jinyong Lee’s pitching was just that.

‘That monstrous bastard.’

Even major league hitters now treat him like a monster.

‘I’d rather the left hand, that right hand….’

In fact, there was no gap in Lee Jin-yong’s right-hand pitching.

The pitching between the strike zone boundaries created based on a knife-like control made me feel like I was playing something other than baseball.

‘Yeah, I just have to be patient this time.’

The only comfort for Garcia in such a situation was that it was the end of the ninth inning.

‘If you pass this time, it’s over.’

Jinyong Lee could appear in the 10th inning, but Garcia will be at the plate in the 11th or 12th.

‘Even if it’s the 10th, it’s probably not going to come out in the 11th or 12th.’

You’ll never see this monster again.

Garcia’s attitude was passed on to the catcher and to the pitcher on the mound.

– Thank you for eating, I guess.

Naturally, Jinyong Lee pitched relentlessly towards Garcia, who has now given up everything.

After getting strikes by stabbing Garcia in and out of the body, he threw a splitter for the last time and caught a swinging strikeout at once.

“Swing strike, out!”

The moment she struck out in a swing, Garcia’s expression felt rather refreshed.

“like!”

Even Lee Jin-yong’s voice was like that now.

‘yes?’

However, as soon as Jinyong Lee’s screams stopped without continuing, Garcia began to have doubts.

That was then.

Whoa!

The boos of the Giants fans tapped Garcia’s ears.

‘Stand, maybe?’

At that moment, Garcia looked at Lee Jin-yong with a surprised expression.

Then I saw Jinyong Lee smiling as if he had been waiting for a boo.

Even the sound of booing was now seen as a part of his cheers.

Seeing this, Garcia said without realizing it.

“Crazy bastard!”

And after a while everyone in AT&T Park spit the same words out as Garcia.

pop!

“Strike, out!”

As the Giants’ 7th hitter Jackson retreated with a looking strikeout, Jinyong Lee, who was on the mound, raised his hand high into the sky and shouted.

“like!”

A short, bold cry that was different from usual.

AT&T Park responded to Jinyong Lee’s cry.

Whoa!

It was a hoot.

A very deep hoot.

But those who watched the match knew.

– Wow, just kidding the Giants fans, kidding them.

– He seems to be the only one who uses the sound of booing like that.

– Amazing downpour.

The Giants fans who visited AT&T Park know that they are being teased by Jinyong Lee.

The fact that Giants fans would be terrified if they saw today’s game again.

Of course, the Giants players knew this.

couldn’t know

In order to attack Jinyong Lee, it was their job to catch even the sound of his breath.

“That damn bastard!”

“Pucking Howman!”

Of course they were outraged.

They couldn’t help but be angry at the fact that they and even their fans were being teased.

That was the reason.

The reason nobody stopped Madison Bumgarner from taking gloves and a hat to get to the mound in the 10th inning.

‘There is only you, Bumgarner.’

‘request.’

‘Cut that damn bastard’s mouth.’

Because at this moment, only Madison Bumgarner could shut Jinyong Lee’s mouth.

Even the coaching staff couldn’t stop Madison Bumgarner.

Giving up on a game like this after being like this was because the pride of the team with the most wins in the major leagues, regardless of win or loss, fell to the bottom and into the gutter.

– ah! Bumgarner! He’s on the mound in the 10th!

The moment Madison Bumgarner came out of the dugout, all the Giants fans at AT&T Park stood up and started applauding.

clap clap!

AT&T Park was quickly filled with applause.

The applause even stained the Mets dugout.

clap!

Jinyong Lee, he gave a sincere applause to Madison Bumgarner, who came up on the mound.

– Whoa.

Jinho Kim let out a long sigh as he looked at Jinyong Lee and the black two-handed pitcher glove placed next to Jinyong Lee.

– After all, my first disciple is like this…

So the aces’ overtime began.

8.

Often, when classifying pitchers with good physical strength, 100 pitches are taken as a standard.

If a pitcher who throws 100 mph throws a speed in the mid-to-late 90s after throwing 100 pitches, that pitcher is evaluated as a very good pitcher.

Naturally, the pitcher who threw more than 110 balls in nine innings had to be slower than usual.

Madison Bumgarner, he couldn’t be free from that.

This was Posted in koreanmtl.online

pop!

92 miles.

At the beginning of the 10th inning, his speed of up to 96 mph was now so far away that 92 mph was the limit.

“Swing, strike out!”

Nevertheless, Madison Bumgarner finished the inning without a score while conceding only one walk on the mound.

He struck out the last out.

At that moment, Madison Bumgarner shouted, raising his left hand to the sky.

“downpour!”

It was revenge.

The perfect revenge for the Giants fans who have suffered 9 innings so far by Jinyong Lee.

clap clap!

At that fact, the Giants fans applauded more than delighted.

– Mad Bum!

– It’s also Bumgarner!

– Bumgarner, you are the best pitcher!

Online also praised Madison Bumgarner.

Madison Bumgarner, who was on the mound in the 10th inning to protect the pride of the team, was not lacking in being a hero.

But this time too, the excitement and applause did not last long.

– Howman is coming?

– That bastard isn’t an ordinary guy either.

– Wow, it’s finally coming.

Jinyong Lee, like Madison Bumgarner, he was heading to the mound to block the 10th inning.

Of course, that was somewhat expected.

By the 9th inning, Jinyong Lee had 103 pitches, which was very well managed.

Because he showed consistent pitching from the 1st to the 9th.

– yes?

– uh?

What I found different from Jin-yong Lee was the moment when Jin-yong Lee changed his hat while standing upright on the mound.

Jinyong Lee, he changed my hat with his left hand instead of his right hand.

“what? Why are you left-handed?”

“You say you only throw with your right hand?”

This fact shocked not only the audience but also the reporters in the press room.

Of course, Hwang Seon-woo was not surprised.

Because now I knew for sure.

‘Yeah, I said I’d throw with my right hand until I got the last out in the ninth. I wrote the article after reviewing it four times just in case.’

What is the meaning of Jinyong Lee’s words in the interview?

‘Then the ninth inning is over, so you don’t have to throw your right hand anymore.’

As a left-handed pitcher, Lee Jin-yong appeared on the mound and AT&T Park began to clutter.

‘Left hand?’

‘here?’

The Giants players also looked at Lee Jin-yong with surprised eyes.

Among them, the 8th batter Alex, who faced Jin-yong Lee, stood at the plate with an almost half-frozen expression on his face.

‘You’re left handed, here?’

“Play Ball!”

Even when the referee announced the start of the match, Alex was still on his mind.

He was like a mannequin.

A mannequin that instinctively couldn’t even swing a bat.

To him, Jin-yong Lee, of course, threw a ball that penetrated the center of the strike zone.

pop!

The moment Jin-yong Lee threw the ball into the catcher’s mitt, the clutter of AT&T Park disappeared in an instant.

“101 miles?”
