Chapter 448 The House of the Persian Cat

UMBC's school's starting lineup for the opening game has been finalized. In American school baseball, players' numbers are not distributed according to their defensive positions, but rookies are allowed to choose among the remaining numbers.

Pitcher Porcello (No. 12), catcher Salvador (No. 35), first baseman Nolan (No. 1), second baseman Pepe (No. 2), third baseman Nishikawa (No. 9), shortstop Ramos (No. 20), center field handkerchief (No. 29)...

Shen Qin, No. 41, did not grab the starting catcher position, because he had never cooperated with the current ace Porcello, and his qualifications were very young, so he became a DH!

The school's opening match will be played by the UMBC Hounds against the Banana Bears of the University of Maine, a super school in the East Division! (My love! Change nickname)
The Banana Bears are very, very strong. They have made it to the NCAA D7 World Series seven times.

NCAA D1 is the first level of universities in the United States. This year, a total of 287 universities compete for the championship. There will be dozens of series in the regular season of the division, including cross-league games.

UMBC is part of the US East Division, which includes seven teams from nine schools.Great Dane at UC Albany;
Panda at Binghamton University;
Hartford Eagles
banana bear in Maine;
Lowell's River Hawk;

SBU Seagull;

The Banana Bears are actually the pride of the US East Division. Outside of them, this is actually a pretty miserable area.

So Kara, who is usually "not caring", is also very entangled this time. This game is divided. If the series in the opening game is not played well, the players' mentality will explode.

Therefore, the current starting defensive practice has been put on the agenda, with additional training time.

So Shen Qin had nothing to do except hang out in the batting cage and the gym, and his resentment almost became real; Scherzer, who also lost the election, was not jealous at all, anyway, the trump card would be his in the summer.

Hard practice is the only way to stop doing it~ Scherzer decided to go outside to buy 'Shar Pei Ice Cream' to eat after taking a shower~ I heard that there is a new flavor.

Take your coat and open the door~
"Hiss~ You don't make a sound!" It was so scary!Did the guy with messy hair at the door really chased him to the dormitory?
"I~" Shen Qin handed over a lemon and strawberry cone: "I came to play with you!"

look!Scherzer raised his chin, as expected to find every opportunity to cling to himself!But such a shy guy on the inside came to find me gently, uh~ what is he going to do again?

He took the ice cream with a snort, and licked it sourly: "Why don't you buy the Shar Pei one? I like sweet ones!"

Shen Qin was taken aback: "I can't eat that, my piggy looks like that!"

Huh? "Do you raise pigs? Pet pigs? My family has a lot of them!"

"Mine is a dog. It was very fat when it first came to the house, so it was called Little Pig!" Shen Qin excitedly took out his mobile phone and showed the dog to the other party: "Is it fat? Is it round?" He really is Surprisingly, Scherzer actually raises pigs?
Scherzer leaned over to look, and saw that Yuri and his wife were hugging Shen Qin in the photo, and Shen Qin was hugging the fat bulldog: "Tsk, so fat!"

"Cute, right?"

Where is it cute? !After all, Scherzer didn't tell the truth under the expectant eyes, and only responded indiscriminately.

Shen Qin leaned over happily: "Where's the pig? Show me your pig!"

"What's so nice about pigs?"

"Look at it!"

Hiss~ The big man is acting like a baby!Sherzer shook off a lot of goosebumps, but in the end, she turned out the photos on her phone...

Shen Qin looked at it and was silent~
"Hey, what expression do you have? Tell me! Aren't you fat? Aren't you cute?"

Shen Qingan smiled. He wanted to see a pet pig that he had never seen in reality because he was curious, but he never expected that the so-called 'pet pig' was an ordinary big pig that would be delivered to the dining table at last. Fat pig!And this silly doll is still holding, holding~
"Fat, it is indeed fat! But why are you holding it?"

"It's called Baibai! When I was a child, I still hugged it to sleep!"

Shen Qin blinked: "Do you like it very much?"

"Of course!"

Curious ~ "Why?"

"Because it's delicious!"

The thunder is rolling!Shen Qin was stunned! "You you eat for nothing?"

"Otherwise? The law allows the addition of clenbuterol, so I can only eat home-raised food! And I grew up on a farm, and I feel sorry for pigs, so I will starve to death."

The farm~ Shen Qin rubbed his nose. Although he had lived through hardships before, he had never been to the mountains or the fields, so he couldn't help being very curious: "Is your home on the farm? Is it fun? Is it a farm?" A lot of small animals? Or just raise pigs?"

Scherzer hadn't been back to the farm for a long time, so she missed her so much, so she sat down and showed Shen Qin the photos on her phone while talking: "I didn't go to high school until high school, because there is no school near the farm. Homeschooled."

"Look, this sheep is called Mian Mian. I made it very fat, and then the meat didn't taste so good."

"Cow, I've been milking for years."

"I also dug toilets and installed culvert pipes, all by myself. Look at the red roof, I did it."

"We have eight months of winter!"

Shen Qin tilted his head. It turns out that Persian cats are so talkative?Huh? Why do you want to add the word 'wild'?

No, no, that's not the point. He knows that Persian Cat's house is very good. After all, private education is too expensive, so he can afford it~ "What, what is eight months of winter?"

Speaking of this, Scherzer is still quite proud: "Our saying over there is that there are only two seasons in a year, winter and summer! Winter is so long that we randomly set eight months."

"Where is it?" Shen Qin, who has been living in the south, really likes snow very much.

"Polar Park in Alaska (changed), but that was a long time ago. I moved to Juneau not long after I went to study abroad in high school." When I turned around, I met Xing Xing's eyes and scratched my neck: "Look at me like this do what?!"

"Envy! Isn't it beautiful? Where is Juno? A big city?"

"The state capital of Alaska, things are expensive and rare, there are no roads, and the ground is full of bears!"

Shen Qin has heard a lot about bears, there are bear skins in Kou Chi's house, but what is the concept of bears everywhere...

"Really a lot?"

"Anyway, there are more than people. After all, it's so normal to be so close to the Yukon. I used to spend more time there in the northern part of the polar region, and I shot several of them."

Bragging!Shen Qin couldn't believe it. This kid looks gentle and quiet, and he shoots when he goes out?
"Really!" Scherzer yelled, "If you don't believe me, go back with me during the holidays and show you videos! Photos! Or take you hunting! I have a share!"
