Episode 239: Problematic Typing (7)

[San Francisco Giants 0 VS 1 Chicago Cubs.]

[(NLCS) The Cubs are just one win away from advancing to the World Series.]

[Cubs Yandy Franco, pitches 7 shutout innings with 9 strikeouts after 3 days of rest. ‘I’m glad I helped the team win.’]

└There are still people spreading fake news like this.

└Right, at this point, aren’t you a novelist rather than a journalist?

└You guys don’t know, but what do you mean by a novel?

└There’s no way Yandy would say something like that about helping the team win;;;;

└Go watch the video ㅋㅋ Because what he said was true ㅋㅋ

└???????

└Is this a deepfake video?

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Kingly Godsim

└What did that kid eat wrong?

└Right

└I thought you were just a guy who gave lip service;;

└I don’t think I’m very good at it even now~

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└It’s really hard to say something I don’t meanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Yandy, you weren’t threatened by Hanjei, were you?

└That makes sense

└Look at him staring at me from the side lol. Yandy’s face is going to be pierced

└It seems like they are preparing to shut your mouth as soon as you say something

└ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Now that I look at it, why are Han Jae’s eyes so vicious?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[‘Game-winning hit machine’ Han Je-yi, the reason his solo home run in the top of the first inning left a lasting impression on fans.]

└Hanjay! Hanjay! Hanjay! Hanjay! Hanjay! Hanjay! Hanjay! Hanjay!

└Shit honestly it was cheap;;;;

└That kid is just good at baseball;

└If you look at short-term output, isn’t there any baseball player who surpasses Han Je-yi?

└Hmm, that’s the right answer

└What the heckㅋㅋㅋ Does the all-time #1 in WAR and OPS look like shitㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└I want to slap those bugs on the cheeks;;;

└If you get hit once, you’ll come to your senses right away

[‘Super Rookie’s Simple Wish’, Han Je-i is smiling.]

└Wow

└ㅅㅂ

└Crazy guy… crazy guy… … .

└Look at what that kid is saying, seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└There’s a reason why Cubs fans are so obsessed with Han Jae-yiㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└That’s a bit;;

└Lip service? The Agari Wind-blown Wizard has a different ‘class’

└ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Even among the educated lip service one-tool Yankees, Han Jae-yi is truly extraordinaryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Ah, Han Jae-do is also a Yankeeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ Even if it’s a real joke, you have to admit that much

└If I were in that position, I would have gone home crying and said, “The Walsh Trophy is so simple.”

└Really specialㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Do you think that wouldn’t happen;;

└I’m not crying, sob

└This is too much, stop it… Don’t fight with deadly facts

└You are the most excessive… … .

Usually, the MVP of a game is chosen from one pitcher and one batter. So it wasn’t strange that Yandy and I were chosen as MVPs for Game 4. One was the starting pitcher who pitched seven scoreless innings, and the other was the batter who recorded the winning hit.

But there are other unsung heroes of the game besides the two of us. The bullpen pitchers who took over the mound from Yandy are one of them.

Yandy expressed his desire to pitch a complete 9th inning yesterday, following Game 1, but the manager did not let him go that far. To be exact, the pitching coach, who heard the manager’s opinion, took charge of traffic control.

‘I get what you’re saying. Then I’ll send Wheaton out for Game 1 of the World Series instead.’

‘… … .’

‘Choose one of the two. Either come down now, or pitch until the 9th inning and come up for Game 2.’

In fact, it is rare for a coaching staff to hold a pitcher during a game and explain it to him like this. There is no reason for the coaching staff to ask permission to manage the players.

However, considering that Yandy showed a particularly strong determination to win even among pitchers, that the batters only scored one point, and that Yandy was the team’s ace, he showed kindness. Yandy also knew this and accepted it without saying anything.

Well, I don’t know if it’s because he understands the coaching staff’s feelings or because he doesn’t want to lose his spot as the starting pitcher for Game 1 of the World Series.

Fortunately for everyone, the bullpen pitchers that followed saved Yandy’s win. Kurt Green and Nick Tracy combined to throw one inning, and Dennis Washington, who had allowed a walk-off home run the day before, took the mound to end the game.

The opportunity to make up for a mistake is not given to everyone. Only someone who is a permanent closer for a team can get such an opportunity.

Dennis Washington also seemed to know this, as he pressured the Giants batters harder than ever and finished the last inning of the game with three batters.

However, that doesn’t mean that the manager unconditionally trusts the players. He has openly said before that he will use the most powerful and in-form players in the post-season, and he is a person who puts his words into practice.

“Strike! Out!”

One of them, Garlicman, lived up to the expectations of the manager and fans and showed stable pitching until the 6th inning. Strictly speaking, he has not known Johnny for that long, but the rapid growth of the young player makes the viewers feel proud.

“Garlic! Garlic! Garlic!”

“Johnny, today was great! Keep it up!”

“We’re lucky to have you on our team!”

In the bottom of the 7th, Garlick, who recorded the first out, came down from the mound to applause from the crowd.

In fact, there were already other pitchers in the bullpen, so it would have been okay to leave Garlick to pitch only until the 6th inning. However, the manager insisted on replacing the pitcher after Garlick got the first out count in the 7th inning, and made sure that all the spotlight was on Garlick as he came down from the mound.

“Good boy. Now let the other pitchers take care of the rest.”

“Uh, yeah!”

At the director’s words, Garlic smiled awkwardly and nodded his head exaggeratedly.

Well, I can’t read all the manager’s intentions. He may have just wanted to spare the pitcher for no particular reason, or he may have done it intentionally to instill confidence in the introverted Garlick.

The latter may be an over-interpretation, but there is no such thing as an operation without any basis. And whatever the reason, it is certain that Garlic will not forget this day for a long time. I never thought that the saying, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ would be used in baseball…

“Damn, the heavens are such a fucking mess!”

Anyway, along with Garlic’s shouts, the other players also did their part.

Taak-!

Victor was Victor, alternating between a ground ball and a timely hit, every time I walked on an intentional walk, but Casey’s two-run home run put the finishing touch to the game.

Taaaaah!

It was a perfect home run, without a doubt. The swing was clean, the low curveball was clean, and the ball cleared the fence despite the sea breeze blowing in from McCovey Bay.

It was a pretty cool scene.

“Hey, what did I say! I told you to wait! What do these super-smart people know?”

I’m sure it would have been a lot cooler if Casey hadn’t been jumping up and down and screaming the whole time he was circling the bases.

You crazy person… … . If it’s a tick, it’s a tick. What the heck is a super tick? … ?

San Francisco Giants.

Fans of the National League West Division’s traditional powerhouse and one of the league’s biggest market teams loved their home stadium, Oracle Park.

It is located along the San Francisco coast, which is famous for its beautiful beaches in the United States, and was once the front yard of the monster Barry Bonds, and was known as the most beautiful ballpark in the league.

Giants fans used to feel proud of their home stadium whenever they saw other ballparks that were built the same way.

“Hey, hey, hey, you fucking motherfuckers-!”

The stadium that had been like that was now in shambles, thanks to none other than Giants fans.

Crumpled beer mugs and nacho bowls flew at their precise targets, and the security guards, who had been on alert, each reached for the Taser gun on their waist. On a day like today, it wouldn’t have been surprising if there had been a few bloodsheds.

“What good is a baseball player who can’t play baseball!”

The sound of one angry Giants fan’s howl summed up the game’s outcome.

The final score was 7 to 2. This meant that the Cubs had finally defeated the Giants and advanced to the World Series, and that the Giants’ season, which had been plagued by the Cubs all season, was finally over. And that too at the hands of the unlucky guys who had tripped them up at every crucial moment.

“haha.”

After the game, the Giants’ general manager sighed as he watched the Cubs and their players run wild, roaming Oracle Park like it was his own home.

“Who just hit me in the back of the head?”

“Hmm, well.”

“Casey, are you?”

“Huh? Me? Why am I holding Victor’s head… No, I’m not done talking yet. I’m not done talking-!”

“I’m not done yet, so come here!”

I found myself quietly holding my head as I watched Casey Martinez running away with her tail between her legs and Victor Arouswell chasing after her.

It’s hard for things to go this badly. Somehow, this season seemed to be a series of the worst-case scenarios I could imagine.

The outfielders he didn’t draft blossomed in the Cubs and came back like a boomerang, laughing at the sophomore jinx by posting the best performance of all time.

And what about Victor Arouswell? Didn’t he do a great job of being a veteran of the team, making people’s worries and mocking gazes seem meaningless?

“Shit.”

Anyway, the season is over now. There was no way to turn back what had already happened, no matter how much I regretted it. It would be much better for the team and myself to prepare for the next season.

The Giants general manager calmed down his complicated mind pretty quickly. But, that night.

“You bastards… I can’t help but curse.”

Reading the interviews and articles about the Cubs players made me feel uneasy again.

[Cubs Hanjei, ‘The Giants were a good enough opponent. But the Cubs were stronger. Sometimes in the world of sports, this obvious fact changes a lot.’]

[Cubs manager Sean Tillaherty, “I didn’t do anything. I just trusted the players and showed them my trust. A successful house will run on its own even if the manager takes his hands off.”]

“You must be foolish. Yes, I guess so.”

The commander raised both palms to the side of his head in a surrender sign and sneered.
