soul of baseball

Chapter 518 The most capable Sherzer?

"Yeah, I'm nervous! I'm also a little scared." Salvador's voice was very low, only looking at the empty stadium: "It's too quiet."

ah?Pepe blinked suspiciously. Which one of them didn't grow up playing in an empty court?Of course, children can’t watch baseball. The stadium is small and there is no auditorium at all. It’s just a circle around the city with a fence. Why do you get nervous: “Don’t you like rain? Or is it a problem with this venue?”

"Neither! I was just wondering what it would be like to play in a stadium with tens of thousands of people."

"Ah, that's pretty scary. I've been to the Tigers' American League Championship game before. I was terrified of the atmosphere in the ninth inning. My ears were buzzing with the cheers from the whole stadium~ How to describe it What? I felt that even if there were gunshots at that time, I couldn’t hear them.”

El Salvador was a little helpless: "The university's home stadium has seats for thousands of people. I am worried that our team will encounter great trouble when we wait for the regional championship game."

The so-called regional competition is a process in which a division competes for qualifying places to advance to the next level. Each district selects a certain number of teams to qualify according to size. For example, Shen Qin's current US East Division has 2 places. UMBC must It takes a top-two finish in 32 games.

The championship game will be held in a large stadium. Although everyone can qualify, the winner has the home court advantage. No one wants to decide the outcome in the opponent's territory. The roar of the fans is terrible.

Most of the championship games will be held in their stadiums when professional teams go away.And the stadiums that win the major leagues often have 4 seats and go up.

El Salvador's worries are not unreasonable. For example, two teams are playing a game, and the stadium is full of opponent's fans. As soon as their own players come on the field, they are booed by the crowd. To be honest, people with no experience really can't stand it.How many newcomers just fell on it?

After all, a group that rarely interferes with each other like Cardinals fans is very rare.

Pepe bit off her sticky gloves and asked, "Qin Qin is not a big problem, is it? And Xi Chuan, they have all played WBC."

"That's not necessarily the case. You know, the United States doesn't pay much attention to the WBC, so the number of spectators is not large. Isn't it full of people during the championship game? I can rest assured that Xichuan is from Japan. Come on, the baseball atmosphere over there~ uh~ How should I put it, noisy? You can get used to it after hearing it.”

"Actually, if it's at the home court of the Baltimore Orioles, it's okay, but if you go further back, if you happen to encounter an indoor court, it's really unbearable. Wearing earplugs doesn't work, so I'm always worried, especially After seeing such a quiet game tonight."

~
How quiet is today's game?It was so quiet that someone roaring at the cowshed could be heard on the resting side, and when there were fewer people, the empty echo came out.

The wooden stick can make the sound of a metal stick!

~
And Nolan, who has just been dealt with at this moment, is about to explode in embarrassment~
He has never played a changeup like this before, and as soon as he catches up with the speed, he starts to change again, either slow or fast!
"Is there such a thing, the changeup can still adjust the speed? There are three changeups in a row! Isn't this contemptuous!"

El Salvador will probably take on the job of comforting the ambassador today: "Don't worry, wait for the next round, just don't forget about this situation."

"Where can it be?" Nolan rolled his eyes, but his heart was a little frightened: "Who is this man! It's too..."

"Too good? Our pitchers are also very good. Maybe in their eyes, they will also think why we have such good pitchers as Porcello and Scherzer? Don't think too much."

When it came to Porcelo Nolan, he asked, "He said he had severe diarrhea, are you okay?"

"I called, it's okay." Salvador looked at the field, but tapped the guardrail with his fingers.He always leaves at the latest in every game. That day he saw Porcello and Shen Qin sneaking out. However, Shen Qin has always had such and such problems. He thought that there might be some little secrets, so he didn't ask. Tian Pocelo asked for leave and left the team, who knows what happened.

Since everyone said it was diarrhea, let’s just treat it as diarrhea for the time being!

……

Scherzer was nervous on the court. The first two teammates who were not easy to be struck out were all knocked out by K, so I...

It is true that I am good at penalty kicks, but there is no one on the base right now!
Only the opponent didn't intend to throw a changeup at all, and the stick could only feign to stand up!Two fastballs swish into the strike zone~
I can't swing the stick!too fast!
There is also some strange feeling in my heart. The speedball looks like it is hitting its own ball. It is so interesting. Does it look like this in the strike zone?
Fastball, what will happen when you throw this kind of high-speed fastball by yourself, will the ball have a curve?

Yes, it is right in this position!Falling!Falling!

Order or not?
The hand that wanted to slide to the top of the stick did not move~
no order!

The stick was swung out heavily!It is in this position!

Pong!
Scherzer hit the bases correctly, but it really wasn't a big deal.

He can't be blamed for this. Since he entered college, he has rarely practiced his swing. At most, he just swings a few times when he is bored in the hit game.

Whether it is the distribution of strength or the driving of the body, it is not perfect~
The ball hit hard in front of him!It bounced high!
run!
run!run faster!
The pitcher's physical coordination ability is nothing to say, and with his slender body, he does not run slowly, and he rushed straight past the first base pack!
He skimmed it!The first baseman didn't make the catch!
safe!
ha!Catch up!
Speaking of which, luck was more involved in this ball. After hitting the ground, it bounced too high, and it took a while for Scherzer to run to the base after it fell.

But Scherzer was happy to bump the fist with the first base coach, and he found a loophole in the fastball!
Hey~ If the home plate is not covered with a rain cloth, the ball must be stuck on the ground at this moment.

Tell you not to change the speed, even if you click it well, you may not be able to hit the base!If you miss the first two bats, you will be the one to give points, okay?Be so careful!
In fact, Harrison is also a little helpless. They can't use variable speed for a batter who has made it clear that he is going to come up for a bunt.

I looked up, and sure enough, the guy on the mound was blushing, he was angry!It’s a bit superstitious to say it, he likes three ups and downs in the first game, so he will be in good shape in that game, and if he doesn’t win the first game perfectly, he will definitely lose points later.

This is the same as the most powerful left-handed pitcher in the major leagues. He is usually as perfect as a god. He can make it to the playoffs. As long as he reaches the seventh inning, he can drop as many points as he wants!
