soul of baseball

Chapter 49 Assembly and Selection
In the 11th inning, it was the hitter's turn to the hero Frith who tied the score in the 9th inning.

Three balls are bad and one is good!
The whole place was silent!

"Bang!" The ball got into the glove, and Frith swung his bat to go to first base. It was obviously a bad ball!

"nice shot!"

"?" Frith turned his head in disbelief, the referee is blind?Just kidding, such an obvious bad shot!
But don’t say that questioning is useless. Don’t be punished if you come forward to talk nonsense at this time.Frith obediently returned to the strike zone.

And the referee was booed a lot, and he bent down indifferently, forgetting the doubts in the lounge.

In fact, it is Frith who is the least annoyed. He is in a very good state now. What are you afraid of when the number of goals is leading!bring it on!Head-to-head confrontation!

Frith's fighting spirit is high!The Rangers are just the opposite!
The pressure is too much!Nervousness is inevitable, especially on the road!
The cheers from the Cardinals fans simply made his ears roar!
"Boom!" The ball was thrown, and it was hit hard by the bat. It was obviously a very ordinary collision sound, but at this time, it was like a reminder to the pitcher's ears!

The white ball is flying very high!far away!

The outfielder backs away close to the home run wall and gives up, too far!

The Rangers got the championship trophy!Get away from them again.

The sea of ​​red boiled, and Frith was surrounded by his teammates, and his shirts were torn in cheers!But no one cares about these, they only care about today, they won the chance to win again!
This is hope!

A player came up with a huge drink bucket and poured it on everyone's heads. For a while, melon seed shells and drinks were mixed with each other, which made Shen Qin's eyes very hot.

This is where he is most confused about American baseball culture. Major league players seem to be eating and drinking all the time!Those who eat melon seeds are called heroic, throw a handful into their mouths, and then slowly spit out the melon seed shells.That mouth is simply an automatic sheller.

If you don't eat melon seeds, then the players are definitely chewing gum in their mouths, and they don't stop anyway.

It's fine if he's really a child, maybe he'll blend in, and he'll be eating happily beside him, or he can spit all over the sky with a lot of drooling.But he is an adult in his heart, and a doctor with a slight obsession with cleanliness. What's wrong with this?

Every time I slide the bases, I will think of the saliva all over the floor!This is really a double torture of psychology and physiology.

So when the drink was used for the celebration, Shen Qin couldn't help but shudder, and immediately felt the sticky feeling on the ground after the drink dried up.

Even now everyone is shouting with excitement!
Of course Shen Qin is also very excited!Very happy!But it's still itchy!no more!He's going to take a shower!He broke out in a cold sweat abruptly in this cold weather.

Fortunately, the Cardinals players have to interview afterward, and the game will be played the next day. Afterwards, the team will arrange massage, relaxation and other adjustments, so Yuri will not go home today, and Shen Qin can also hurry up and talk to Ji Jia go home.

It wasn't until after taking a bath that Shen Qin felt alive, but it was obviously very late but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

It seems as if every nerve is excited and clamoring!

Scenes on the court were replaying in my mind, especially Yuri's expression of loss and self-blame.

Although today's match was won, Shen Qin knew that although Yuri would be happy, if you talk about his mood, it would definitely not be much better.

Shen Qin knew that Yuri looked carefree, but in fact he was definitely an extremely arrogant person.On the baseball field where he does best!In such an important game!Doing nothing and still lagging behind?How could this put him in a good mood?
But... how interesting!What a thrill!

This is the most amazing game Shen Qin has ever seen. He never imagined that compared to the fast pace of basketball, slow-paced baseball can be so exciting!You can chase me to such an extent!
Maybe it's because I'm a newbie?
But Mengxin can only think that this game is exciting, but he doesn't know that the game is more exciting than he imagined. How many old fans have never seen such a heart-stimulating game in their lives, and they always give you some hope when they are on the verge of death , and then kicked down again, and finally when everyone gave up, there was another big turnaround!

Simply incredible!
If the heart is not good, it will fly up.

……

For the seventh round of the World Series, the whole of St. Louis is on vacation. As for whether Arlington, Texas, where the Rangers are located, is on vacation, it is unknown, but there will definitely be a lot of people skipping work and school to watch the game in St. Louis. .

Although it is a holiday, since the game is at night, Little League has to practice during the day.

But today is a bit different, this is the official day after Shen Qin was pulled into the 15-man list.Although he was also excited, he didn't want to dance and dance, but Xiao Min solemnly said congratulatory words to him, which made Shen Qin a little embarrassed.

This time the 15-man roster includes 1 catcher, 5 pitchers, as well as the remaining starting fielders and substitutes, in addition to shortstop Nori Kominato, "master" Coach, whose position is yet to be determined, and left fielder Shen Qin.

Shen Qin was very speechless and asked Kou Chi: "Just one catcher? How can this be played?"

"It's the children's game!" Coach, who thought he was older, raised his chin proudly: "The division of labor in this group is not detailed, and everyone has not yet finalized. It remains to be determined what position the older players will play in the future."

"For example, if the catcher is tired and the fielder who has nothing to do can step in, or if there are not enough pitchers, anyone with some ball speed can step in! In short, there is nothing to say about scheduling, just step in if you can!"

How can it be like this! ?Shen Qin's eyes widened. This is the first time he heard of this. Although in some major league games, if the score is really too big, the coach will sometimes send the fielder to the field in order to save the loss of the bullpen during the garbage time. Voting, but the kind of casualness is different from the casualness here, so I asked Coach about this doubt, after all, compared with myself, he is definitely an expert among experts in this regard!
Sure enough, Kou Chi was very helpful to Shen Qin's "modestly asking for advice", and explained seriously: "How can it be the same, you watch less, I have a lot of videos at home, you can watch them when you have time, before entering the big league, Many players also came out of the Little League, and they didn't necessarily play their current positions at the time. For example, many players who played in the center line later became pitchers, and some pitchers with first-class arm strength became famous catchers, or infielders became outfielders... Even players from other sports become professional baseball players... In short, children's baseball is a process of groping, and what will happen in the future will gradually become clear during this process!"

Shen Qin ignored Kou Chi's mouthful of one child at a time!And this "big friend" is still carefully popularizing Shen Qin: "Oh, speaking of video tapes, this is my hobby, and I recorded a lot of garbage time! Haha~ many fielders have beautiful pitchers~ curve balls~ Both! They might have pitched in Little League! Speaking of which, if we don’t have enough pitchers for a game, I’ll volunteer!”

Shen Qin absolutely believes that Kou Chi is telling the truth!Because this man has a flamboyant temperament, and he has to be convinced, his shoulders are also very strong!
