soul of baseball

Chapter 976
The rest room of Chubby Panda is different from the benches behind the front chairs of the major leagues. It is much wider here, with a total of three rows of benches.

"Hot food is not allowed!" Castia took the two of them to eat something to fill their stomachs, and then went to the field and walked around the home run wall and the out-of-bounds guard to get familiar with it. Brought back to the lounge: "Everyone has just formed a team now, so the warm-up before the game is special. The integration practice of inside and outside field will be longer and will be carried out directly on this field."

Shen Qin was very surprised, let alone a professional team, even when they were in college, they would not do a complete infield and field defense practice with their teammates on the field before the game.

Castia explained to him: "Recognize the face and familiarize yourself with the position. You should also remember the tactical card and the coach's habits. The professional code is much more complicated. After all, amateurs are changed according to these simplifications, so Use your brain more, how is your memory?"

Peipei and Shen Qin looked at each other and shook their heads silently. Being low-key is a blessing!
As expected, Castilla was full of love: "Then you have to learn it hard. I will repeat it to you later. Well, the coach will explain it, and it is not complicated to use. If you don't understand, I will tell you."

"Okay, thank you!" Pepe hehehe, to be honest, he doesn't think this is any difficulty for Shen Qin. He has been playing for so many years, and he has never seen anyone who is more troublesome than him in this aspect!

There are actually many newcomers who officially reported today besides Shen Qin and Yu Peipei. The coach probably also considered this, and specially gathered for a meeting to talk about the habits of their coaching staff. After a long talk, they let everyone go to practice.

Fake 'vintage' jerseys on Saturday.

Not only the arms are exposed, but also the black and white color scheme, which makes Shen Qin, who is used to bright yellow, a little hesitant, please, I don't have those arms to photograph at all!

Pepe looked amused at the dazed man standing in front of the locker. He knew exactly what this guy was thinking: "Nuo Qinqin, those kids over there have thin arms and legs. You are much better than them."

Shen Qin snorted, and pointed to another group. If that group of kids were ribs, then the other group would be all muscular guys!I am completely at the middle and lower level!

"Haha~ Lines are the most important thing! You are stronger than when you first entered university."

"Really?" Shen Qin squeezed his upper arm, feeling nothing!

"That's right! Besides, is strength and arm thickness really proportional? So far this year's major league season, which of the players competing for the home run title has a thicker arm than yours except Trout? They all look a little thin player!"

Makes sense!Shen Qin felt relieved, Pepe was indeed the cutest!So the hand that reached for the sleeved lining moved to the sleeveless one!

What a joke, of course the sleeveless retro jersey should be matched with the sleeveless lining!

Seeing him taking off his clothes, Pepe gained a little more confidence while secretly laughing: "It looks like he's really stronger, have you gained weight?"

"No!"

Before the topic got to the point of bragging, Castile next to him added another sentence: "We are not allowed to cut linings in our current class."

"Ok?"

"It's not expressly stipulated that it is not allowed, but these are not unlimited free supply, because players come and go quickly, understand what I mean?"

"Understood, saving is the first, unless you buy it yourself!" "Yes!" Castia was a little relieved, he was afraid that these two people would occupy a higher signing bonus than most players and waste it at will, which would be troublesome , No matter what aspect of the minor league, it is easy to be excluded from the group before proving yourself.

"But don't we need to introduce each other? Everyone?" Pepe was a little confused, why are they all in groups of two or three?

Castilla pointed in one direction: "Qin went to the capture area over there. There was no need to interact with anyone else. Everyone dispersed quickly and will be assigned to different places. Once they don't live together, it doesn't matter. Opportunities for contact, whether we know each other or not doesn’t mean much now.”

Pepe is helpless, it can still be like this, isn't it more advantageous to play together if you are familiar with it?

"Everyone is still figuring it out now. We are in the stage of being polite to each other. This is the best way, and it is not easy to have conflicts."

Shen Qin wanted to laugh a little. The kid had quite a lot of professional experience, so he hurriedly put on his jersey and went to the bullpen. He would be the second catcher in today's game.

Pepe shouted from behind: "Don't you go outside to fight first?"

"No, wait until I go to the tunnel to play the machine, it's still early."

Shen Qin answered happily, but he still felt a little embarrassed. Although the coach said that there would be no starters and everyone would take turns, this was really the first time for him to come on as a 'substitute', so he really warmed up. There's no need to do it in such a hurry, now it's time to go to the bullpen and recognize the person first.

There are a lot of short-term 1A players, and there are naturally many shots and catches. There are three groups practicing in the bullpen now, and there is a catcher wearing leggings and carrying a face shield standing beside him.

Seeing Shen Qin coming over to pick up the young catcher, he smiled and nodded at him: "Why are you wearing protective gear so neatly? You don't have to do this in the bullpen. You see, we all have leggings and a face protector. That's enough."

Shen Qin understands this, most of those bullpen catchers are like this, but he is not a bullpen catcher!
Well...the mentality is about to change!I have now changed from an amateur starter to a professional substitute!

After entering the major leagues in the future, this situation will definitely account for the majority. Just like Xi Chuan said at the beginning, you must get used to sitting on the bench!
Well, the benches are all taken, what's the point of sitting in the bullpen a little more?

"Didn't you come here with your bags?"

Shen Qin shook his head, and the young man came over behind Shen Qin with his face shield between his hands and helped him unbutton the chest shield: "Then you can let me go first."

"thank you!"

"My name is Nigana."

"My name is~"

"I know you, I have watched you play since I was a child!" Nigana tilted his head with a smile: "I have watched you play since I was very young!"

Shen Qin was choked, he was very happy to hear the first half of the sentence, but the second half was really a bit... This man can be seen to be a young man, but your big beard... "How old are you? "

"17, I'm Irish."

Wow!Shen Qin's eyes widened in astonishment, Irishman?That's amazing!There are so few Europeans in MLB, let alone Irish, he wondered if this one was the only one in front of him!

No, no, the problem is not here, but... "You are 17 years old? How could you have watched me play since childhood?"

"Hahaha~ What I said is true. I came to play at my aunt's house in the United States. Her house is in Williamsport. It happened that you played there. Well, I watched it often later on!"

Williamsport~ Shen Qin blinked, this was really a long time ago.
