Ch 185

One.

Everyone who knows anything about baseball says it.

The perfect game is not something that players can win on their own, but something that the God of baseball has given them to.

It’s like a gift from God.

But this time it was different.

[Lee, perfect game achieved!]

[Lee, the perfect pitcher!]

[Lee shouts torrential rain in the center of Fenway Park!]

Jinyong Lee, when he recorded a perfect game, none of those who watched the game thought it was a gift from God.

– Demonic bastard.

– You monstrous bastard.

– Howling bastard.

I just think that a monster more demonic than the devil stole the gift of the perfect game from God.

That was it.

In Jinyong Lee’s Perfect Game, everything was planned from one to ten to the extent that such a thought was taken for granted.

– I bet. Howman’s Perfect Game will be nominated for an Oscar.

– Sports is said to be a drama without a script, but Houman This bastard writes a script and even acts.

– But his acting skills are amazing.

One of the evidence was that Jinyong Lee acted to distract the Red Sox during the game.

Proof that Jinyong Lee intended and designed everything.

Lee Jin-yong’s overwhelming pitching had no choice but to shock the major leagues.

– Even Sale can’t catch Howman.

Furthermore, I felt a sense of despair that exceeded my shock at the fact that even Chris Sale, a pitcher representing the American League, had been beaten by Lee Jin-yong.

– So who’s left now?

– Aren’t Kershaw, Kluber and Scherzer left?

– Kluber is a member of the Indians, so he won’t have a match unless it’s in the World Series, and only Scherzer and Kershaw are left?

– Isn’t there one more series left with the Mets and Nationals?

– What do you do when you’re left, watch Howman pitching now. It’s different from the pitchers I mentioned now!

– If it wasn’t Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddox, or Kim Jin-ho in his prime, he wouldn’t be able to catch Howman?

ㄴ I don’t think Kim Jin-ho knows about it.

b yes Kim Jin-ho is different.

ㄴ It’s hard to find someone like Kim Jin-ho.

For the countless MLB fans who wished for Jinyong Lee’s downfall, there was nothing that could bring him down anymore.

Now, only the sight of a demon-like monster trampling the major leagues remains.

Of course, there were fans who liked that fact.

– Finally, a monster like this has arrived at the Mets!

– Kya, you’re in love with this taste!

For Mets fans, every day was a day of celebration.

It was around that time.

Around the time when fans except the Mets spit out sighs and the Mets fans spit out cheers.

[Lee, ‘I can throw the ball faster.’]

A new storm has begun to blow.

2.

Throwing a ball over 100 miles is something only people with a gift from God can do.

In terms of running 100 meters, it is equivalent to entering the 9th.

That’s great.

But the competition doesn’t stop.

Pitchers want to throw the ball faster, and the world is crazy about the faster ball.

But throwing the ball faster is not easy.

Even Nolan Ryan, the first major league baseball player to throw a ball over 100 mph, the 101 mph record has never been officially thrown, and the 102 mph is Randy Johnson’s highest speed, considered the best left-handed fireballer in the majors.

And 103 miles was a number that for a while symbolized the leader of the major leagues, Kim Jin-ho.

Lee Jin-yong, who has already officially thrown 102 mph in such a situation, said.

“What I said during the interview time back then was not a mistake.”

He said he could throw the ball faster.

“I say it clearly. You can throw.”

Jinyong Lee emphasized that he can do it in front of those who do not believe his words.

eventually declared.

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s good. I’m going to show you this clearly today against the Brewers. It’s good to look forward to.”

He was going to show himself that he wasn’t talking nonsense against the Milwaukee Brewers, who came to play after the perfect game that shocked Fenway Park.

Naturally, everyone was interested in Lee Jin-yong’s pitching.

– How did you throw 103 miles?

– I wonder if that’s possible?

So did the Brewers players.

“Did you see the interview before the Howman fight?”

“Of course I saw it.”

“The monster is trying to do something like a monster again.”

In a situation where they were facing the greatest monster in the major leagues, and even one piece of information was needed, the Brewers hitters had no choice but to be interested in Lee Jin-yong’s interview.

“I’m going to throw a fast ball, then I’ll often throw it with my left hand.”

“The fastball rate will be high.”

“We have no choice but to attack that part…”

Furthermore, the Brewers batters made plans to face Jinyong Lee according to the interview.

And in the match that started, Jinyong Lee showed.

– lee! He finished the game with a shutout once again!

With only 88 pitches, he once again increased his scoreless innings to 119 innings, a stunning shutout game!

But it wasn’t.

– what? Is it over like this?

– If you’re showing 103 mph, what strike are you hitting with an 80 mph slider?

There was no ball that exceeded the maximum speed mentioned by Lee Jin-yong.

It was a situation where expectations were betrayed, and there were not a few people who vomited their disappointment.

Of course, there were also those who understood the situation and defended Lee Jin-yong.

– No, how do people get the highest speed they’ll ever meet? You don’t come out because you want to take a picture, do you?

– You may be in a bad mood.

– Don’t you think the highest speed is said to give strength to the asshole?

Renewing the maximum speed is not only absurd, but even if Jin-yong Lee has such ability, it is not something the pitcher can do at will to update the maximum speed during the season.

– Even if the Houman makes a heavy rain, he does not gossip!

– If Houman can do it, can he do it?

Above all, Jinyong Lee was a man who made the impossible possible.

Therefore, there were no people who judged Lee Jin-yong with just one game, and Lee Jin-yong himself reiterated it decisively.

“Last time before the Brewers, I was in a bit of a bad mood.”

On the day he greeted the San Diego Padres at home after taking a four-day break after the Brewers game, he personally visited some reporters before the game and said:

“But today is different. Today I will show you for sure. You can also write the title in advance. Lee, the highest restraint update!”

This time I’m going to show you the real thing.

Reporters, who heard the story, naturally welcomed the article and made the story of Lee Jin-yong into an article as breaking news.

[Lee, once again announcing the renewal of the maximum speed limit!]

[Lee, this time is different!]

All MLB fans were excited about the article once again, and the Padres players who faced Jinyong Lee were naturally nervous.

“Today, I’m going to focus on a small and fast ball.”

“If you say this clearly, does it mean that you are in better condition than before the last Brewers?”

“Sheesh, I have no choice but to be fully prepared.”

This is how Jin-yong Lee’s starting game started.

Jinyong Lee won the match once again with a shutout.

However, as Jinyong Lee swore, no ball went over 102 miles.

Rather, on the contrary, Jinyong Lee faced the padless batters with a right-handed pitching, and the padless batters who expected Jinyong’s left hand fast ball stole the out without help, and in the end had to consecrate a shutout victory to Jinyong Lee in 83 pitches.

So at the end of the match, some fans raised their suspicions.

-Is you sell this baby?

– Aren’t you talking about renewing the maximum speed limit?

– You say you’re throwing a fast ball, but you’re pitching with a slow ball?

It seems that Jinyong Lee is doing something again.

It’s like they’re trying to hack the game raw.

After a five-day break after a game against the Padres, and before the match against the Cardinals at home, Jinyong Lee took the reporters back and said:

“You must have been in good shape last time, didn’t you? But I liked it so much that it became just a pitching hit.”

At that point, reporters were now asking questions as if they were suspicious.

“Can you really do it?”

“I can’t, but I’m not playing press, right?”

To that question, Jinyong Lee answered.

“Actually, in a moment of crisis against the Padres, if there was a conceding situation, I was planning to renew the maximum speed at that time, but as those of you who watched my game last time know, there was nothing that could be called a crisis situation. I am frustrated too.”

Jinyong Lee’s answering expression was the most unfair and frustrating expression in the world.

It was such a sincere expression that the reporters nodded their heads without knowing it.

“But today is different. Today I will show you clearly. Please believe me. Today we will make a new number on the signboard!”

That’s why the reporters believed this time.

I believed and wrote the article.

[Lee, this time I’m going to go beyond the real limit!]

And in the game against the Cardinals that started, Jin-yong Lee started pitching with his left hand from the start, and from the beginning of the first inning, Jin-yong Lee attacked the Cardinals batters with a ball combination centered on a fast ball.

In the first inning, the maximum speed was 100 mph, and only then did people have expectations.

– Are you really going to throw this time?

– Look, what did I say? Houman can rain, but he doesn’t say anything!

– Those who didn’t believe in Howman, repent!

Cardinals batters also watched Jinyong Lee’s pitching in the first inning and prepared with tension.

‘Today, I am determined and I am going to shoot the highest speed.’

‘It’s a fastball game. I’m only going to throw a fastball.’

‘Yeah, let’s aim for a fastball then.’

Let’s aim for Lee Jin-yong’s fastball, who is determined and only throws a four-seam fastball.

And when the second inning started, Jinyong Lee was still preparing for pitching with his left hand.

But there was no fastball.

The Cardinals hitters who waited and prepared for a fastball in front of a combination of a slider and a cutter had no choice but to pass the out count in an instant.

Even from the 4th inning, Jin-yong Lee increased the proportion of right-handed pitching as if it was natural, and threw only 86 pitches from the Cardinals to win a shutout.

Then the world realized.

– Houman This baby Guraman was.

that Jinyong Lee lied.

Rather, they used to break the maximum speed to trap the opposing teams.

“You can really throw over there today, right? James? Colin? ah! Reporter Hwang! Please write an article, I can really break the top speed today!”

Of course, no one believed Lee Jin-yong’s words anymore.

The first half of the 2018 MLB season ended with Lee Jin-yong becoming a shepherd boy.

[No. 1 in the Mets District!]

[Amazing Mets!]

The New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals to finish first in the National League East Division.

[2018 Season All-Star Game Begins!]

And the All-Star Game started.

3.

The significance of the Star Wars in the All-Star Game and Major League Baseball is much greater than you think.

First of all, major leaguers want to participate in the All-Star Game as much as they want to be on the World Series stage.

First of all, there were as many as 30 clubs in the major leagues compared to the limited number of seats in the All-Star Game.

It was also a stage where no matter how excellent one’s skills were, they couldn’t climb unless they were loved by the fans.

Some reporters with the right to vote in the Hall of Fame even cited the number of times they participated in the All-Star Game as a condition of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

[lee! Participate in the All-Star Game!]

Jinyong Lee participated in such an All-Star Game.

It wasn’t strange.

For the first half of the season, he won all games by shutout, recorded two no-hit games and one perfect game, and no star shines more brightly than a pitcher who conclusively finished all of these games without conceding a single goal.

Moreover, in the All-Star Game, fielders are selected through fan voting, but in the case of pitchers, they are selected by the manager’s recommendation, so there was no reason why Jin-yong Lee should not be selected.

Even if it was a fan vote, the possibility of Lee Jin-yong being eliminated was low.

– Please let Howman go to the American League next season!

– American League bastards need to know how much the Howeman is.

– American League bastards, take a look at the heavy rain.

For fans of the National League club, I wanted to give American League players and fans who avoided the matchup with Lee Jin-yong a taste of what they suffered in at least one match.

Naturally, in the All-Star Game, everyone’s attention was focused on Lee Jin-yong.

In front of that attention, Lee Jin-yong proudly said.

“I will update my top speed in the All-Star Game.”

In this All-Star Game, I promise to show myself beyond my limits.

Of course, no one believed it.

– Houman, that bastard is grouchy again.

– You don’t get the same strategy three times in the game, how long has this bastard been doing this?

– I think I’ll do this until I get it, can’t you just use the speed gun and throw it at 103 mph?

– I wish I could start with Chapman in the ninth inning and let Chapman shut his mouth with a 105 mile ball.

The reason why Aesop’s fables have a story of a boy with a shepherd isn’t because he’s bored.

“No, how can you not believe what people say?”

Lee Jin-yong, who saw the reaction of such public opinion on his smartphone, made a blunt expression.

With that expression on his face, Jin-yong Lee said while looking at Jin-ho Kim.

“Do you believe in me, Jinho Kim?”

At that question, Jin-ho Kim raised his thumb to Jin-yong Lee and said.

– Of course I believe. The fact that you are the next generation that will go down in history.

That was then.

A text message arrived on the smartphone that Jinyong Lee was holding.

Jinyong Lee saw the text and smiled.

“It was my debut as a closing pitcher in the All-Star Game.”
