Ch 182

4.

On June 5, war began in fifteen places on the vast American continent.

[Interleague kicks off in June!]

[Starting a full-fledged ranking competition!]

Now, the moment you are eliminated from the ranking competition, a fierce battle has begun in which you have to promise the next season.

However, there was only one place that MLB fans focused their attention on.

Fenway Park.

The world’s attention was focused on the first game of a two-game match between the Red Sox and the Mets there.

I had to concentrate.

– So who will win?

– If you simply look at his presence, he’s a Howman.

b yes Because there has never been a pitcher without a score in 101 innings in MLB history.

ㄴ It would be disappointing if 11 batters struck out in a row.

ㄴ No-hit 2 game added!

ㄴ Why was the pitcher’s first hit for the cycle removed?

B Yes, a home run in four consecutive at-bats in one game.

The fact that Jin-yong Lee will start in the first game, already half of the world’s baseball fans, had no choice but to watch the game.

Moreover, this time the opponent was different.

– Still, if it’s a Chris Sale, you won’t be beaten by Howman in terms of strikeouts.

– Nothing. He’s the only pitcher to strike out 300 last season!

– This season, he is also second in the league with strikeouts after Howman.

– In the last game, you struck out 19 in a game. If he had caught one more, it would have been the tie record for most strikeouts in a game.

– Good defense. I’m staying at 1.85, if not as much as Howman.

– If it’s 1.85 in the American League, it’s as low as 1 point in the National League!

Chris Sale.

He was the most strikeout pitcher in the American League and Major League Baseball last season, and one of the best pitchers in the American League right now, he was one of the few pitchers who could hold Lee Jin-yong today.

– We can finally catch Howman!

– It’s Houman Memorial Day!

– Please, I hope Houman loses this time!

In the current situation where there are more people hoping for Jinyong Lee’s defeat, the appearance of Chris Sale was like a hero appearing in front of a monster.

It was not a simple analogy.

To most people in the world, Jinyong Lee was a monster.

A monster among monsters that ruthlessly crushes all clubs except the Mets!

If left as it is, a monster that will eventually devour even the World Series!

[Red Sox, attack Lee!]

[Is Lee finally reaching the limit?]

[Lee, is the goalless streak over?]

Naturally, the media did not hesitate to treat Lee Jin-yong as a monster in order to attract more people.

It seems like he’s trying to shake Lee Jin-yong even a little.

Even the public opinion and the attack of the media did not stop on the day Lee Jin-yong started as a starter.

– Yeah, what do the media know? Jinyong, I know this bastard is just a venomous and savage monster.

“You don’t want to hear that from a ghost, do you?”

– So what do you do when you’re treated like a monster?

“How do I do it, I have to show it to people who think I’m a monster.”

Of course, Jinyong Lee did not care about that fact.

It wasn’t that I didn’t care. Jinyong Lee was willing to live up to the expectations of the world.

“What a terrifying monster I am.”

5.

Jinyong Lee vs Chris Sale.

There was only one thought in everyone’s mind as soon as the matchup between the two players was caught.

Who will strike out more?

However, the two players did not comment on that part.

“I just do my best to help the team win.”

Chris Sale, he left only dry comments in front of reporters’ questions about the strikeout.

It was the same with Jinyong Lee.

“I haven’t been able to interview for a while, but I would like to do an interview this time. That’s all.”

Jinyong Lee also did not directly interview that he would strike out more than Chris Sale.

Because I knew what they were thinking the moment the match started.

– Strike out a swing! Chris Sale hits out with just three strikeouts against four batters in one inning!

Chris Sale, who stepped on the mound at Fenway Park, pitched in the beginning of the first inning of the first game between the Red Sox and the Mets.

– The number of pitches per inning is 18.

– Yes, it’s a lot for one episode. Thanks to you, I can see clearly. Chris Sale’s idea of hitting more strikeouts somehow.

I’m going to try to strike out more than Jinyong Lee today.

I will show you who the owner of the Green Monster is.

In response to Chris Sale’s answer, Lee Jin-yong, who followed him on the mound, also responded by pitching.

The moment he struck out the first hitter with a swing and strikeout, he most clearly informed that Jinyong Lee had come to Fenway Park.

“downpour!”

And even at the moment when the second batter struck out with a swing, Jin-yong Lee gladly shouted.

“downpour!”

Finally, the moment the third batter retreated with a floating ball, Jinyong Lee said through a deep silence.

– Is it raining only when you strike out?

– Strike out heavy rain mode!

– Today, it’s only downpour in strikeouts!

Today, he also said that he would only have meaning for the strikeout out.

So the two pitchers strikeout race began.

6.

There are a few things you need to do to strike out more.

One, a fast ball with a pitch that can overwhelm the batter.

Two, a decisive ball that can catch the batter in a two-strike situation.

Third, a heart that is willing to throw the ball when it wants to strike out.

In other words, pitchers who know how to strikeout pitch a cool pitch no matter who you look at.

That’s why baseball fans love and cheer for a pitcher who strikes out more.

pop!

“Swing, strike ooh ooh!”

wow!

And that’s why the Red Sox fans, who now fill Fenway Park, rave about the pitching of their ace, Chris Sale.

Moreover, Chris Sale’s pitching today was different from usual.

Chris Sale’s pitching today was different.

– 4 innings and 10 strikeouts!

– Sale is crazy!

4 innings and 10 strikeouts.

Chris Sale, who struck out all but two outs in four innings.

It was the most surprising and powerful pitching that Chris Sale has shown since his debut.

It wasn’t even just a good catch.

“No matter how many pitches you have, you’re just trying to strikeout.”

The feeling of burning yourself all down to strike out.

“Because he has already pitched 77 pitches in four innings.”

“If you look at the feeling, it seems like he was planning to hold out until 9 innings even if he threw 150 pitches today, right?”

As proof of that, Chris Sale is currently pitching with no pitching management.

That fact forced the Mets hitters to stick their tongues out.

‘My head hurts.’

‘It won’t be easy.’

At the same time, the Mets hitters were concerned.

‘It will be more difficult for Lee.’

‘It’s a strikeout competition against a pitcher like that…’

The adverse effect of Chris Sale’s pitching on Lee Jin-yong’s pitching.

In fact, Jinyong Lee’s expression looking at Chris Sale’s pitching wasn’t the best he’d seen since his major league debut.

“Whoa.”

The repeated sighs and frowns, and the nervous scratching of his head with each strikeout from Chris Sale was like watching an active volcano about to explode at any moment.

The problem is that at present, Jin-yong Lee has struck out six without getting on base as a single batter until the third inning.

It was definitely not a good thing to be unsatisfied with the fact that you pitched great.

‘Dangerous.’

‘It’s an overface to try to do something more than this.’

‘If you do something wrong, the worst accident may happen.’

Naturally, the expression of the Mets and coaching staff had to harden at Lee Jin-yong’s appearance.

On the other hand, the Red Sox dugout, seeing Jinyong Lee like that, was getting hotter than ever.

“Did you see his face?”

“I’ve seen it if it’s a shit-chewing expression.”

It was because Lee Jin-yong, who had only seen flaws in the meantime, began to show his flaws.

Because the Red Sox’s attack was slowly destroying the monster named Jinyong Lee.

In particular, the Red Sox’s No. 1 hitter Xander Bogartz, who went out as the lead at the end of the 4th inning, surprisingly did not feel any pressure at this moment.

I didn’t think Lee Jin-yong was an easy opponent.

‘It won’t be easy to hit him or get on base.’

No matter how shaky Lee Jin-yong was, his skills were the best in the league.

‘But that’s not what we need right now.’

However, at this moment, Xander Bogartz did not want to get a hit or walk against Jinyong Lee.

‘You just don’t have to strike out.’

The only goal is to avoid strikeouts.

In other words, Xander Bogartz wanted to be satisfied with just finishing the inning with a hitter at this moment.

Now all the fans of the Red Sox wanted it too.

“Boggats! Ground ball is good too! Hit it any way you want!”

“Blow one with a fly!”

“Even if we are just three-bent out, we will cheer for you!”

All of the Red Sox hitters felt that their shoulders were lighter than ever.

“You can get applause with just a ground ball, that’s amazing.”

“I think it’s the easiest day to play baseball since you got into the major leagues?”

The end of the 4th inning started in that situation.

Xander Boggats, who came up as the No. 1 hitter, swung his bat right at the outward ball thrown by Jinyong Lee.

right!

The ball hit the bat with a never good sound and rolled in front of the shortstop very smoothly, and the ball passed through the shortstop’s glove and into the first baseman’s glove.

“out.”

And the referee showed an out by clenching his fist at Xander Bogartz, who was still walking towards first base.

Xander Bogartz shook his head at the fact and sighed.

I avoided strikeouts, but I still can’t say it’s really good for the #1 hitter to come out as the lead and step out.

The feelings of the other still remaining made him sigh.

‘yes?’

At that moment, Xander Boggats, who was heading to the dugout, met Jinyong Lee’s eyes on the mound.

‘What?’

At this moment, Jinyong Lee was staring at Xander Boggats with eyes full of dissatisfaction and irritation with his mouth shut so tightly that the corners of his mouth were twisted.

‘Look at this?’

That fact brought a smile to Xander Bogartz’s lips.

It made Xander Bogarts smile that his batting devastatingly wounded a pitcher on the mound and the best pitcher in the major leagues today.

Naturally, Xander Bogartz wanted to share the joy he felt.

Xander Bogartz spoke to bat 3 Mookie Betts coming into the standby bat.

“He’s getting annoyed.”

At those words, Mookie Betts looked at the mound and saw Lee Jin-yong nervously trampling the mound’s soil with his feet.

Mookie Betts’ eyes shone sharply.

In his shining eyes, Mookie Betts began to assess the scenario for today’s match once again.

‘Today’s game doesn’t need a lot of points. One point wins.’

The Red Sox should aim for only one point against Jinyong Lee, and if they score that point, today the Red Sox could do something that no other major league club could have done this season.

‘Then it’s best to shake Lee as much as possible now and then promise later.’

So Mookie Betts knew what was the best thing he could do against Jinyong Lee at this moment.

What makes Lee Jin-yong even more annoyed.

‘You just don’t have to strike out.’

Mookie Betts smiled at that.

7.

right!

With a dull sound, the ball hit Mookie Betts’ bat and floated high in the sky.

The floating ball immediately crossed the foul line on the first base side, and the first baseman came down quickly, took a stance and waited for the ball.

pop!

The moment the ball entered first baseman’s glove, Mookie Betts, who was at bat, shook his head once briefly.

– out! Liga ends the fourth inning with a triplets.

tripartite resignation.

It was the moment when Jinyong Lee cleaned up the 4th inning, which started from the 1st batting order of the Red Sox.

However, Lee Jin-yong did not show the slightest cheer for the fact.

– There were no strikeouts.

Rather, it was the Red Sox fans who cheered.

“right!”

“Get four with this!”

“It’s over! Sale won!”

It was cheering for the situation in which Chris Sale struck out four more strikeouts against Jinyong Lee in a situation where pitchers from both teams played four innings.

Amid the cheers of the Red Sox fans, Jinyong Lee went down the mound with his mouth shut and the cheers he had never uttered.

Such Lee Jin-yong’s expression was immediately broadcast to the world through broadcasting.

– Four cars, effectively a sale win.

– How can the man not be able to rain?

– Hey, Sale finally catches Howman!

– Look at Howman’s face.

B You look like you’ve lost your rain!

Online enjoyed Lee Jin-yong’s hard expression.

That was then.

– uh?

– uh!

Lee Jin-yong, who came into the dugout, nervously threw his glove onto the bench, and it was broadcast through the air.

The most obvious expression of anger.

– How Man has evolved into Angry Man!

– Angry Heavy!

It was like oil poured into the heat generated by the Red Sox fans.

The Red Sox fans who saw the video are now starting to shout.

“downpour!”

“downpour!”

Heavy rain calls began to ring in Fenway Park.

At that sound, Jin-yong Lee, who sat on the bench, covered his face with a towel and bowed his head.

The mood in the Mets dugout is heavier than ever.

In the worst atmosphere, no one dared to approach Jinyong Lee and offer words of encouragement or consolation.

– Hey, Jinyong, are you okay?

Jin-ho Kim, the only person who comes to Jin-yong Lee is to say a word of consolation.

Of course, it wasn’t a sincere consolation.

– So, why do you say you’re going to break my record on the topic of pitching garbage? If you are polite, modest, and live an upright life, this wouldn’t happen, just like me. is not it?

Jin-yong Lee did not even respond to Kim Jin-ho’s consolation, only hiding his emotions expressed through facial expressions through the towel.

‘It’s as planned.’

A feeling of joy that comes out of nowhere.
