Ch 192

5.

The moment Lee Jin-yong stood on the mound, the MLB began to roar once again.

– Heavy rain appeared in Wrigley Field!

– Today is double downpour mode!

– I knew it.

The surprise of the crowd at Wrigley Field, who became an on-site witness of this absurd event, was bound to be even greater.

“No, why is it raining?”

“Pucking Howman!”

I feel like I’m under an absurd curse.

On the other hand, the Cubs hitters faced Jin-Yong Lee with eyes full of determination rather than eyes filled with embarrassment.

At the same time, the Cubs hitters coldly analyzed Lee Jin-yong.

‘He has to run in the next game. You can’t pitch excessively here.’

‘No matter how great he is, it will be difficult to show 100% of my ability without pitching the bullpen.’

We tried to estimate Lee Jin-yong’s intentions by grafting the data on Lee Jin-yong to the current situation of Lee Jin-yong.

Thanks to that, all Cubs hitters were able to get quick results at the same time.

‘It’s the right hand.’

‘I’m going to pitch with my right hand.’

In a situation where he has to appear as a starting pitcher immediately after this game, what Jinyong Lee brings out is pitching to catch a hit with his right hand.

‘yes?’

‘what?’

It felt like being hit in the back of the head when Jinyong Lee took out the glove he was wearing in front of them and put it on his right hand.

‘Your left hand here?’

Of course, the Cubs players were not lost in that one shot.

‘I’ll catch you for sure, right?’

No major leaguer doesn’t know that Jin-Yong Lee is a two-handed pitcher and his left hand is terrifying, and the Cubs, who are facing Jin-Yong Lee today, also analyzed Jin-Yong Lee’s left hand.

‘you can do it.’

‘Warrior 1st and 2nd base. You can pay as many points as you like!’

To them, Jinyong Lee told Chogu.

pop!

103 miles.

I told the Cubs hitters with that ball.

‘Yeah, if you want to hit, hit it.’

I didn’t know because I didn’t know.

6.

Randy Johnson.

A player who is the symbol of a left-handed fireballer.

Throwing up to a 102 mph fastball and a 90 mph slider, he was all that pitcher.

It was literally.

Hitters against Randy Johnson knew that the ball Randy Johnson threw was either a fastball or a slider.

Some hitters even knew that Randy Johnson had a habit of showing up before throwing a fastball and slider.

In other words, there were hitters who knew whether Randy Johnson was a slider or a fastball before throwing the ball.

Still, few of those hitters have hit Randy Johnson.

A left-handed fireballer was such an existence.

He doesn’t just throw a fast ball, he throws a ball that he can’t hit easily even though he knows what he’s going to throw.

That’s what Jinyong Lee showed everyone at Wrigley Field.

pop!

“Strike, out!”

How ruthless and unfair the existence of a left-handed fireballer who throws a maximum speed of 104 miles.

[You have acquired 412 points.]

– lee! He completes his mission 100% in a sudden climb and goes down!

Jinyong Lee, he showed why countless people in the major leagues want to bring a left-handed fireballer even from hell.

“downpour!”

Jinyong Lee, who looked like a beast like that, went down the mound with cheers.

“ah······.”

“That monster bastard.”

The atmosphere of Wrigley Field, which seemed to explode a while ago, began to cool down at the appearance of Jinyong Lee.

Of course, not all of the heat had cooled down.

“There are still 9 episodes left!”

Baseball was two outs at the end of the ninth, and the Cubs still had a chance to attack.

“The batting order is also from the second!”

Moreover, the batting order starting from No. 2 was an opportunity, not an exaggeration to say that it was God’s consideration.

“Yes, you can!”

At that fact, the Cubs fans once again thundered.

“Stop the ninth second!”

Of course, for the opportunity to counterattack, they had to maintain a 1 point lead without conceding in the ninth inning.

“Just keep this score!”

That’s why I gave as much encouragement as I could to the Cubs pitcher who would be on the mound in the early ninth.

Then someone said

“But who does the Mets come from?”

Someone answered that question.

“Isn’t that number 9?”

“Who is number 9?”

“Yes, of course…”

At that time, Jin-yong Lee, who had entered the dugout, appeared with a helmet, not a hat, and a bat, not gloves.

“Is it raining again?”

Jinyong Lee, he appeared as the lead hitter in the early 9th inning.

7.

The lead hitter’s role is important in many ways.

‘Cause there’s so much to do

I had to get on base, get the pitcher to throw more balls, and I also had an obligation to lead the mood.

From that point of view, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Jinyong Lee is the best lead hitter.

It didn’t sound like anything.

right!

– Another foul!

– Lee, that’s really scary.

As proof of that, Jin-yong Lee came out as the first hitter in the ninth inning and made the pitcher throw more balls.

– With this, Lee cuts the 12th pitch.

12 wards.

Because I had the finisher on the mound throw a whopping 12 balls.

– Lee’s bat control and pioneering eyes give me goosebumps. The falling ball is also being cut.

– Usually, close pitchers throw less than 20 pitches on the mound a day. In that sense, to a close, Lee’s appearance would be a monster from hell. If you can’t catch Lee here, there’s a good chance you’ll be eaten by that monster.

Jinyong Lee’s presence was like a terrible nightmare for a pitcher.

“Are you that fucking pitcher?”

“Introduce the designated hitter to the National League!”

If there was a designated hitter system, it would have been better for a hitter to come out instead of just a pitcher.

But it wasn’t the pitcher on the mound who experienced the real worst nightmare at this moment.

“I like the number 13.”

Cubs catcher Joey Cole receiving the closeer’s ball, it’s he who faces his worst nightmare.

“Is that right? It’s the devil’s number. Don’t you think so?”

Because the pitcher pitched 12 pitches meant that Joy Cole had heard from Jinyong Lee 12 times.

“Noisy!”

“Is it noisy? So, didn’t you deliberately filter it earlier? Then there is nothing to suffer like this, right?”

“Pucking Howman.”

Even Lee Jin-yong wasn’t just talkative.

“What? You want to hear the torrential rain? That’s why it’s bothering popular people. wait. I’ll tell you right away.”

Because Jinyong Lee knew better than anyone how to scratch the insides of others, and at the same time knew how to put it into practice more clearly than anyone else.

– hey! Shut up! I’m noisy! Ugh, Jinyong, why is this bastard talking so much? huh? If you are a man, you should be a little reticent! Damn, the guy who didn’t speak a word of English last year speaks better English than any local in this case?

It’s enough to make even ghosts lift cranes, so what more explanation is needed?

right!

In such a situation, when Lee Jin-yong cut even the 13th pitch thrown by the pitcher, Joey Cole felt like his eyes were turning yellow.

‘Fuck.’

And it felt like my stomach was filled with swearing.

“ah!”

That was the moment.

“It was a double header today. Oh, the story should end here. If we do everything here, we have nothing to talk about in the next game. is not it?”

At that moment, Jinyong Lee’s words made Joey Cole dazed.

It was literally. Joey Cole was struck so powerfully that for a moment he was dazed.

And it led to an accident.

‘ah! sign!’

Joey Cole, realizing late that he had to sign the pitcher, hurriedly started moving his fingers.

The sign from Joey Cole was none other than a fastball entering the strike zone.

It was better to get a hit than to let Lee Jin-yong walk like this, and above all, Joy Cole had no choice but to demand the most comfortable ball because he had neither the confidence nor the time to fight Lee Jin-yong.

The pitcher nodded immediately at the catcher’s signature.

The pitcher is also exhausted.

I had a feeling that the fastball might be dangerous, but I literally just felt like it, but I didn’t have the strength to think about it.

With just one sign exchange that was done, Jinyong Lee could predict what the sign was between the pitcher and the catcher.

‘If the autograph was sent in a hurry in a full count situation…’

The answer to Lee Jin-yong’s expectations was none other than the bat that Lee Jin-yong wielded.

Whoa!

– uh? uh? uh!

“downpour!”

Jinyong Lee, he hit his 10th home run of the season at Wrigley Field.

8.

It always is.

When putting out a fire, be sure to turn it off.

If you put it out clumsily, the remaining embers will eventually create a huge flame again.

Jinyong Lee’s home run was like that.

– lee! He hits his 10th home run from Wrigley Field!

The Cubs players all thought at the same time in front of Lee Jin-yong’s leading hitter’s home run, which had pushed the pitcher to the limit, and the score that had now become a two-point gap.

‘Oh, I don’t want to play baseball.’

I just want the game to end like this.

The moment you lose your will.

On the other hand, the will of the Mets, which had been fading in front of the Cubs, began to burn fiercely beyond words.

It already sounded different.

“right!”

“Did you see the Cubs? This is what a houm run is!”

The cheers emanating from the Mets dugout shook the entire Wrigley Field.

The climax was when Jinyong Lee finished his base run and entered the dugout.

At that moment, the Mets players shouted at Lee Jin-yong.

“like!”

Jinyong Lee answered that call.

“what? Are you all crazy? Why all of a sudden?”

At Lee Jin-yong’s honest answer, all the Mets players were frozen for a moment.

‘yes?’

‘uh?’

Because Lee Jin-yong’s honest expression was too sincere to be considered an act.

And in reality, the behavior of the Mets players was not normal from a common sense point of view.

At that time, Jinyong Lee said with a light smile.

“right!”

Then the Mets players smiled.

“I can’t take it!”

“After all, Lee, you’re a nerd!”

At that moment, the tension and pressure that gripped the Mets players’ bodies disappeared.

And there, victory or defeat was already decided.

It was impossible for the Mets players, freed from tension and pressure, to leave the Cubs with the fire of their fighting spirit extinguished.

Above all else, the Mets were now a strong team.

No. 1 in the district, now a strong team aiming for the top win rate in the Major Leagues beyond the National League!

‘Certainly finished.’

‘I’ll make you hate even the next game!’

In the end, the Mets could only give Cubs hitters a chance to finish Game 3 after plucking two more points in the early ninth.

Of course, there was no miracle at the end of the ninth.

– 9-6, the Cubs now have to score 4 points to win the match.

The score is 3 points.

– Lee comes up on the mound.

The pitcher on the mound is a major league monster with an ERA of 0.00.

“shit.”

On the other hand, the embers of the Cubs have been extinguished.

In a situation where even the god who could perform a miracle would ignore him, Jinyong Lee raised his left hand once more.

– The match is over!

And through a simple but ruthless pitching, he drew a three-way shot from the Cubs strike line at once.

[I recorded my first MLB save. Platinum roulette tickets will be paid.]

– lee! He recorded the first save of his MLB career.

The moment Jin-yong Lee wrote another major league legend, at that moment, Jin-yong Lee raised his thumb.

– What is that?

– You go into the dugout with your thumbs up? What do you mean?

It was the moment when Jinyong Lee’s warm-up was over.

9.

Ground maintenance began as soon as Game 3 of the Cubs vs. Mets four-game series ended.

The traces of the bloody battle of the previous 9 innings disappeared at once like snow falling on the asphalt.

“Let’s take Game 4 as it is!”

However, the enthusiasm for victory in Game 3 did not disappear, and the mood of the Mets team was heating up.

“downpour!”

More than anything else, the fact that Jin-yong Lee, who is the guardian of the Mets, is now playing made the Mets squad hotter than anything else.

The Mets dugout was colored with cheers for Jinyong Lee.

“downpour!”

It was as if he was praying to God, but in the midst of the cheers, Jinyong Lee was more calm than ever.

He was meditating with his eyes closed while wearing a jumper to keep his body from getting cold.

Even Kim Jin-ho was meditating with Lee Jin-yong with his arms folded, his eyes closed, and his mouth closed.

So the two continued meditating without saying a word.

“lee! This is the beginning!”

It was the pitching coach’s words that signaled the start of Game 4 that broke their silence.

At those words, Jinho Kim opened his mouth.

– Are you ready?

At that, Jinyong Lee said with his eyes closed.

“What preparation?”

Jinyong Lee tilts his head.

Kim Jin-ho said with a smirk at the sight.

– You thought I didn’t know? huh? It was me who taught you baseball, me.

Kim Jin-ho’s question brought a smile to Lee Jin-yong’s lips.

After that, Jinyong Lee opened his closed eyes and said.

“Then let’s go beyond Master.”

At those words, Jinho Kim also opened his closed eyes and said.

– Heavy.
