soul of baseball

Chapter 34 World Series G1 (2)

Let me talk nonsense at the beginning, about the problem of English names~ I am really used to it, basically I can’t translate Chinese names, and I was still confused after searching for a long time last night!
For example, Suzuki Ichiro’s English spelling is ichiro, and Adam Wainwright’s Chinese spelling is Adam Wainwright, but his nickname is Waino. Now I’m struggling whether to write Wainwright or Waino?A little dazed.

There is also Carlos Beltran, a retired Puerto Rican player. The English translation should be Beltran, but the pronunciation in Spanish is completely different from English!So I'm really confused!
So I plan to start a big change in this chapter and try it out.Haha~ If everyone's reading is not smooth, I will change it back, and I hope you can give me more opinions.

(Pure nonsense, I am already modifying the Chinese name ~ Friends who read it later ignore this directly)

……

The Rangers' first hitter was little-known second baseman Kim Sile.

Even if Yuri tried his best to judge through various videos and limited battles, he still had too little information.

So it was very difficult.

It can only be estimated by the position of the hitter.

Jin Sile's position is very forward, which is the state of wanting not to miss the outside corner kick.

That being the case, cast the inside corner.Yuri gave the signal, and the old carpenter Carpenter nodded, and threw the ball over smoothly.

"boom!"

Bad ball.

The ball didn't land where Yuri wanted it, and it didn't trick the hitter into swinging.

The second ball still needs the inside corner!
"boom!"

Another bad ball!

Yuri's eyes narrowed behind his mask, and he was a little worried. Carpenter's ball control was very unstable today and he couldn't make the shot where he wanted.

As a catcher, sometimes you are so helpless, and you know how to scheme!See you again!As long as the pitcher can't hit the ball, everything means nothing.

But even if Carpenter's condition is not good at the beginning, Yuri still doesn't want to interrupt his pitching rhythm.He respects this old man very much. At this time, go to the mound to comfort him?Where is it needed?

Carpenter's mentality is the best among all the starters of the Cardinals. This is not only because of his baseball qualifications, but also because he has endured diseases that are unbearable for ordinary people, let alone baseball players.

As a right-hander, the old carpenter has undergone 6 major operations on his right arm, but even so, he still stands on the mound. He is a miracle of baseball!It is also a masterpiece of medical technology!What he is waving now is the right arm that is riddled with holes and has undergone 6 major surgeries!
How could this tough pitcher who had won the Cy Young Award not be moved?
Yuri believed him!St. Louis Cardinals fans believed him too!

Since you can't make a shot, it's better to earn a strike count for the strike zone that misses the shot.

Uri made a gesture, and the old carpenter was obviously relieved, and licked his fingers to increase the friction. Obviously, he also discovered his pitching problem.At this time, don't blindly pursue the inside corner kick with tricky angles, it will be easier for him.

Lift your legs, step across, and swing your arms!
The ball went straight and fast, but there was no joy on Carpenter's face.

Taller!

The ball is indeed high!

Jin Sile swung his bat hard and hit the ball.It's a coincidence that Carpenter's ball has a strong tail. Even if the ball is high, it is not easy to hit, but the ball just sticks to the third base line and goes out. The baseman Frith has already defended very far away, and still can't keep the ball down.

Jin Sile ran to first base!
"Surgery, reconstruction, competition! Carpenter has endured this pain six times!" Chen Jianbo's voice was a little choked up: "In the case that Wainwright was unable to play, his arm! It is the arm that can sustain at this moment!" One of the keys to starting the Cardinals, viewers, I hope you remember the name Carpenter! He is truly a hero!"

"The strongest willpower! And the deepest love for baseball made him." Ye Ping sighed deeply, silently hoping that Carpenter would not be under pressure.

Carpenter was actually not under any pressure at this time. It was quite normal for the ball to be hit, let alone a hit, even a home run was normal.

And compared to these, he can still stand on the mound and throw the ball. What is there to be dissatisfied with?Getting the next shot right is the key!
Yuri couldn't help laughing as he watched Carpenter relax and return to the mound. This big brother is really reassuring!

The next bat came to shortstop Andrews, and Yuri still matched the inside corner.

Andrews stands quite far away. Carpenter should be able to take such an inside corner kick with confidence.

Carpenter turned sideways.

"Whoosh~"

The ball went into the first baseman's glove.

Carpenter made a check, although he didn't catch Jin Sile who was about to steal a base, but it made the other party have some concerns.

Yuliping pushed his hand, indicating that Carpenter should not care, he was watching the stealing of bases.

bring it on!Inner corner!
"boom!"

The ball still didn't hit Yuri's desired position, but it also got into the inner corner and landed against the hitter's knee.Andrews didn't swing, but his body reacted naturally by taking a step back.

very good!Another inner corner!When Yuri was about to make a signal, he watched Jin Sile, who was too far away from the base, withdraw his hand, and tapped the glove on the position directly behind the home plate and close to the ground.The squatting action is also changed to a half-squat with the toes standing on tiptoe.

Carpenter glanced at Andrews, who was staring at him, knowing that Yuri was reminding himself that the opponent was going to implement a hit-and-run tactic!
What's the best thing to do at this time?Not a ground ball!
Of course, when there are no full balls, it is nonsense to say strikeouts!
The best way is of course to turn the opponent's hit-and-run tactics into a pure steal!Then directly blocked and killed!
Can such a thing be done?
Carpenter doesn't know if other people can do it, but the catcher in his team can!Who told someone to have a good waist and shoulders that can kneel and pass to second base from home plate in 1.74 seconds?
As long as you can vote!Words to avoid the batter's swing!It will definitely succeed!

No need for any change balls!At this time, just throw the fastest straight ball into the lowest angle!
Since the opponent is going to hit and run, Andrews will definitely swing no matter what the ball is!
"boom!"

Carpenter's pitch was small, and the ball went into Yuri's glove accurately and quickly.The latter's already squatting legs quickly sprung up.At the same time, Carpenter's body crouched down on the pitcher's mound.

Raise your arms and swing out!

"boom!"

The ball went straight into the glove of Cardinals second baseman Ponto with power and precision.

The speed is really too fast, but because of Yuri's well-known ultra-high blocking rate, his teammates have cooperated countless times this season!

This time, of course, is the same.

Ponto just swiped the glove sideways, and swept Jin Sile, who was sliding!

Kill people between first and second bases!

The referee clenched his fist and ruled out the game, and the audience applauded thunderously!
Yuri's blocking kill is really beautiful!
Not only the audience is excited!The momentum of the whole team has been driven up!
"yoyo!!!!"

Yuri waved his gloves at his teammates!Now is not the time to be happy!

——Try this chapter, whichever name reads smoothly will be used in the future~ It’s really embarrassing to write!I always have to switch names in my head hahahaha!After watching the game for so many years, I can't think about it all at once!
