A Clean Sweep (2022–2023): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
MONSTERS VS DUKSOO
1ST ROUND IN GOCHEOK SKY DOME
-Go!
-Run!
THANKFULLY, THE MONSTERS STILL PLAY WELL
(SCORING 2 POINTS EASILY)
HE THROWS LIKE HE ISN'T RETIRED
A CLEAN DOUBLE-PLAY DEFENSE
It flies to the outfield.
A REFRESHING HOME RUN
(JAW-DROPPING)
WE ARE THE BEST!
(SIGHING)
THE MONSTERS TAKE THE FIRST VICTORY
THE 2ND MATCH WITH DUKSOO CONTINUES
WE'LL WIN NO MATTER WHAT
JANG WON-SAM IS THE STARTING PITCHER
IN THE 2ND MATCH
DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL
IS LOOKING TO REDEEM ITSELF
It bounces into foul territory.
LET'S KEEP GOING LIKE THIS!
BUT IT'S NOT EASY
TO JUMP OVER THE WALL OF THE MONSTERS
CK Monsters.
THEY DOMINATED
THE FLOW OF THE GAME COMPLETELY
AS EXPECTED, THEY'RE THE BEST
CK MONSTERS
MIXED FEELINGS…
THEY ENCOUNTERED
UNEXPECTED DIFFICULTIES
THE STARTING PITCHER
JANG WON-SAM IS INJURED
HE IS HAVING A HARD TIME WARMING UP
HOW WILL THIS GAME
PLAY OUT?
Timeout!
HE REQUESTS A TIMEOUT
-Manager Lee is coming up.
-Will he be switched?
These legendary players
haven't played for a while,
-so we were worried about this.
-That's right.
His elbow isn't doing well.
Can we have some time?
He needs to be substituted.
AN URGENT PITCHER SUBSTITUTION
Song Seung-jun is
warming up his shoulders.
SEUNG-JUN WARMS UP URGENTLY
SIGH…
BUT HE CAN'T LEAVE NOW
-Come up and…
-Yes.
You have to throw one.
-Yes.
-If he's injured, can the trainer come?
-Yes, please.
-Yes.
Mr. Oh.
All of a sudden?
Usually…
What usually happens?
Once he comes in, he has to throw.
-He must throw one?
-Yes.
You're up, so you have to throw one.
THAT'S A GIVEN
Jae-hyeong, you'll get on base!
WON-SAM'S CRISIS IS
DUKSOO HIGH'S OPPORTUNITY
He came over, so he has to throw one.
So?
-I'll just throw lightly.
-Throw lightly.
Let's just practice once more.
ONE MORE PRACTICE PITCH
-I'll throw like this.
-Don't overdo it.
DON'T OVERDO IT, OKAY!
He's going to pitch. Manager Lee leaves.
He has to throw for the first batter
-before he's subbed.
-Yes.
WON-SAM IS ON THE MOUND
WITH A BIT OF PRESSURE
Jang Won-sam has thrown 22 pitches
until the second inning.
He's up against batter eight,
Kim Jae-hyeong.
The first pitch. It's a ball.
IT'S MUCH WEAKER
BECAUSE OF HIS INJURY
I pitched for him to hit.
I wanted to throw as little as possible.
Gosh, this isn't good.
FEELING SYMPATHY
TROUBLED…
EVERY PITCH IS TROUBLESOME
-Second pitch.
-He can't pitch hard.
THEY FEEL BAD FOR HIM
Darn it. Come on.
HE'S MORE FRUSTRATED THAN ANYONE
Why does it suddenly hurt?
CHOKING UP
I hope it's not too much pressure for him.
HE MUSTERS HIS STRENGTH
Jang Won-sam is covered in sweat.
JUST ONCE MORE…
IT'S A HIT!
Hey!
It's a hit. A sharp hit.
The left fielder moves and catches.
Jang Won-sam pitches and makes
seven batters hit an easy fly in a row
including Kim Jae-hyeong.
I wanted to throw well
and show what I got.
BITTERSWEET
IT'S TIME TO STEP DOWN
-Good work.
-Good work. Are you okay?
I hope it gets better. I'm sorry.
-You got two innings.
-Yes, I'm sorry.
I'M SORRY…
I became irritated on the mound
when it started to hurt.
We didn't even have enough pitchers.
I had to throw many innings for them.
I felt bad for the other pitchers
who had to throw after me.
I was irritated at myself.
-Great job.
-Why does it suddenly hurt?
Why is it like this?
HE FEELS ENDLESSLY SORRY AND GUILTY
This is frustrating.
HE BEGINS TO BLAME HIMSELF
-This is irritating.
-Good work.
-It didn't hurt that much, right?
-No, it didn't.
I've never been in so much pain.
WILL HE BE ABLE TO DEFEND WELL?
Seung-jun.
-Don't overstrain yourself.
-Okay.
You'll throw for a while,
so maintain your condition.
What's the signal?
GOING ON THE MOUND
WITH A SENSE OF PRESSURE
The second pitcher,
Song Seung-jun is on the mound.
There are only four pitchers.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop
can't help but be anxious.
-He must have a lot on his mind.
-Of course.
Seung-jun has to pitch
at least four innings.
So I told him
not to use too much strength.
I told him to control his power.
-This is why we need a lot of pitchers.
-Exactly.
-We need six.
-We need six or seven.
DRINKING STRAIGHT FROM A CAN
This is so annoying.
I'M SO ANNOYED
WHAT AM I DOING…
What am I doing?
I was annoyed with myself.
I wanted to show them how good I was.
But I had to step down.
WON-SAM HAS TO CHEER FOR SEUNG-JUN
WITH MIXED FEELINGS
Why does it hurt all of a sudden?
Song Seung-jun is up against
batter nine, Baek Gye-ryeol.
Seung-jun has a lot on his shoulders.
The first pitch is a ball.
2 BALLS
Both balls missed
the strike zone by a lot.
After Won-sam stepped down,
I had to pitch
when I wasn't warmed up yet.
Anyway, if I step down
before the fifth inning,
there could be a problem.
So I felt a lot of pressure
thinking that I had to throw a long time.
I'M NOT WARMED UP YET,
BUT I MUST DEFEND MY TEAM
He hits the ball sharply.
The right fielder follows it.
THE BALL FLIES
TOWARD THE RIGHT FIELDER
DONG-WOOK, WE BELIEVE IN YOU
He hits the ball sharply.
The right fielder follows it.
The right fielder catches it!
NICE CATCH
2 OUTS
Seo Dong-wook fields the ball.
Now, it's two outs.
SUDDENLY HE LOWERS HIS HEAD
Dong-wook's leg isn't well.
-Look.
-Dong-wook's leg isn't well.
-Right.
-He's limping.
Actually, my leg wasn't feeling well
when I entered the field
in the first inning.
WHEN HE SCORED
IN THE TOP OF THE 1ST INNING
JEEZ
DONG-WOOK WAS IN PAIN
DURING BASE RUNNING
GROANING
COLLAPSE
Go play defense. If it keeps hurting,
-then we'll tape it.
-Yes.
Okay? To protect it.
You need to play defense.
We're short of players.
I had a spasm because I strained my leg.
(BRAIN SPASM)
WON-SAM'S ELBOW,
DONG-WOOK'S LEG, SEONG-HOON'S SIDE
We're in trouble.
What does Duksoo have to do now?
Starting with the first batter,
they have to get on base.
-Of course.
-The first batter
needs to make a three-base hit.
(YOU'RE THE 3-BASE HITTER…)
-Strike!
-A fastball at 135km/h.
(JEALOUS OF THE FORCE
AND THE PITCHING SPEED)
He threw lightly,
but it was still 135km/h.
He's like a buffalo.
The second pitch was at 138km/h.
It was 138km/h.
DID YOU SAY 138KM/H?
NICE
IT'S NICE, BUT…
Jeez.
CRITICAL
Eui-yoon! I'll stay close to Dong-wook.
OKAY!
IT'S GOOD TEAMWORK!
-Yong-taek.
-I'll have to play defense.
-If worst comes to worst,
-Yes.
-the pitchers will have to bat.
-Yes.
I think so.
We're five points ahead.
The pitchers will have to bat.
-But they--
-They have to. Forget about the line-up.
STERN
PLEASE DON'T HIT IT THIS WAY…
DONG-WOOK, DON'T WORRY
MONSTERS 6 : 1 DUKSOO
He swings and misses. A strikeout.
SEUNG-JUN FINISHES THE INNING NEATLY
Good job, Seung-jun.
Good job.
You're reliable.
THERE'S NO NEED
TO WORRY ABOUT SEUNG-JUN
BUT HE'S A PROBLEM…
This is really bad.
-Do you want a substitution?
-I'll do it until I can.
Do you want to?
I don't want your leg to get worse.
You have to play the next game.
-I tried to swallow the pain.
-Yes.
-That made it worse.
-Take a break.
-Don't run too much, okay?
-Okay.
-Jog only.
-Yes.
-Yong-taek, you have to play.
-Yes.
How will we play the field?
Can any of the outfielders pitch?
If one more player gets injured,
we can't play.
I had a lot on my mind. I was worried.
The top of the fourth inning will start.
The batters will want to score
as many points as they can.
-All you can think about is a called game.
-Yes.
A CALLED GAME IS THE ONLY ANSWER!
THE FIRST BATTER KEUN-WOO
IS AWARDED FIRST BASE
The batter walks. No outs.
Number two hitter Seo Dong-wook is at bat.
DONG-WOOK IS INJURED AND AT BAT…
Seo Dong-wook seems like he's hurting.
We'll see how he'll bat
as the second hitter.
-Yes.
-Yes.
-Strike!
-It's a breaking ball.
It's nice!
NICE PITCHING
Four balls and a two-base hit.
The previous two hits were perfect.
HE HITS!
It's a push hit!
It's another hit.
-Jeez.
-Again.
DONG-WOOK DID IT AGAIN!
IT'S YOU AGAIN…
Stop!
Jeong Keun-woo runs at full speed
as he checks.
He's running!
NO!
Jeong Keun-woo touches third base
and reaches home plate.
MONSTERS 7 : 1 DUKSOO
4 POINTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
A timely hit by Seo Dong-wook.
The Monsters score another point.
They're the best as usual.
HE CAN HIT EVEN WHEN HE'S INJURED
-He isn't a person.
-He can really hit.
Seo Dong-wook is such a great hitter.
-He hit it so well along the line.
-Yes.
He couldn't run fast though.
I don't think I can run to third base.
Don't hike your leg up when you run.
Dong-wook said his leg was really hurting.
But nobody could relieve him.
Today, I saw our team's state.
Give me a helmet.
WHY DOES HE NEED A HELMET…
A helmet.
TRYING IT ON
Will you be all right?
WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE…
Can you run? Are you all right?
Let's switch.
SWITCH?
NO WAY
Timeout.
I'LL
SWITCH WITH HIM
-It's Manager Lee Seung-yuop.
-Now,
Manager Lee Seung-yuop
is going in as a runner
for Dong-wook who hurt his leg.
NATIONAL HITTER
LEE SEUNG-YUOP IS A PINCH RUNNER?
I never thought he'd go on base.
PINCH RUNNER LEE SEUNG-YUOP…
What?
IS THIS FOR REAL?
I've never seen Lee Seung-yuop
as a pinch runner.
When he ran toward me,
at first, I thought
he was coming to check me.
-But he asked for my helmet.
-Give me your helmet.
-What's going on?
-There's no other choice.
-Thank you.
-Well done.
It's an unusual sight.
I wonder how many times
he played a pinch runner.
He was always the key player
and sometimes a pinch hitter.
I've never heard
of pinch runner Lee Seung-yuop.
HE'S ON BASE AS A PINCH RUNNER
It's a rare scene.
Managers want to protect their players.
He probably felt bad for Dong-wook
when he saw him running.
When I'm watching this show,
-I'm touched by it.
-Yes.
They really became one team.
For Dong-wook who injured his leg,
Manager Lee Seung-yuop put on a helmet
-and went on second base as a runner.
-It's true.
Hey, Dong-wook.
GOOD JOB, DONG-WOOK
DONG-WOOK DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY
I was serious.
Why did my leg
have to hurt at that moment?
I didn't want to miss out.
I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS OUT
LEE SEUNG-YUOP PINCH RUNNER
When your team faces a crisis,
someone has to step up somehow.
It's a natural process for team play.
THERE'S NO PLAYER
GREATER THAN THE TEAM
How will he affect today's game?
Yong-taek has to go on the outfield
and pitchers have to bat.
Do I have to bat?
Yes, we have to bat.
What's going on?
HE'S FORCED TO BAT…
-There are no designated hitters.
-What's going on?
Park Yong-taek.
THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO SCORE
AND WET TAEK IS AT BAT
HIT
He pulls.
Seung-yuop runs to third base.
Second baseman catches the ball.
First base runner is out.
1 OUT
-I bat for the team.
-Good.
-Batting for the team.
-Batting for the team.
Batting for the team.
It's a classy play.
(I DIDN'T ASK)
Park Yong-taek did a great job.
He hit a ground ball to second base.
Second base runner went on to third base.
He hit perfectly for the situation.
That's right.
HE DIDN'T FALL,
SO THE TACTIC WAS SUCCESSFUL
I'm crying. I almost fell.
What will you do if your legs give out?
Seriously, I almost fell.
It's one out. The runner is on third base.
It's Manager Jung Yoon-jin.
-Hyeon-u, was it a good experience?
-Yes.
How was it? Were you nervous?
I was in a hurry.
-It's okay. You did well.
-Thank you.
You can go in.
SUBSTITUTION
Duksoo will have Shim Jun-seok play.
He's back on the field.
It's Shim Jun-seok.
Do you want me to hit his pitch?
Why does he have to throw
when we're at bat?
This is wrong.
The major league
is paying attention to Shim Jun-seok.
-He's in.
-Yes.
AVERAGE PITCHING SPEED 150KM/H
THE FASTEST PITCH WAS 153KM/H
BUT JUN-SEOK WAS SUBSTITUTED EARLY
BECAUSE OF HIS POOR CONDITION
I think I let them score too easily.
I'll make up for my mistake.
I'll show the Monsters what I got
and rip them apart.
BAM!
-Jeez.
-I can't hit that.
His pitching speed is 147km/h
during the warm-up.
He threw 152km/h at me.
VICTIM OF THE FASTEST PITCH
He threw 152km/h at me.
-Was it very fast?
-It was like a bullet.
It's already seven to one.
They're six points behind.
-Right.
-They can't lose a point.
-So they're going strong.
-Yes.
MONSTERS 7 : 1 DUKSOO
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
MOVING
Jeez.
It's caught by a checked swing.
A slow hit. Second baseman catches it.
To first base. The runner is out.
The pinch runner
Lee Seung-yuop enters home plate.
CK Monsters scores another point.
It's eight to one.
3 POINTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Good job.
-It's a party.
-Nice, Seung-yuop.
We saw the national star
Lee Seung-yuop's first win
-and first score.
-Right.
What else do we need to see?
His first hit and home run.
-There are lots to see.
-Yes.
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
He misses the first ball.
THE PITCH IS STILL FORMIDABLE
ASTONISHED
-What?
-It's a bullet.
It is fast.
A fastball at 149km/h.
Lee Taek-keun is moving too slowly.
Yes.
He's still throwing at 149km/h easily.
FOUL
It's 151km/h.
THAT'S JUN-SEOK!
WE CAN'T LOSE!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
HE HITS!
-Jeez.
-It's a slow hit.
Third baseman throws it to first base.
The runner is out on first base.
Three outs.
3 OUTS
NICE DEFENSE!
But CK Monsters scored two points.
It's eight to one.
The pinch runner is out.
Yes, I'm out.
Yong-taek is the left fielder.
Jung Eui-yoon is the right fielder.
-The pitcher will replace me.
-Okay.
PITCHER AND BATTER SONG SEUNG-JUN
HE'S PLAYING DEFENSE AFTER TWO GAMES
Let's end it in the seventh inning.
WE MIGHT BE FINISHED
IF WE DON'T END IT BY THE 7TH INNING
They won't call me to play, will they?
To pitch?
If they're short of pitchers,
you'll probably have to get ready.
You have to keep the ace until the end.
Okay.
It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
Lee Sun-woo is at bat.
SUN-WOO, NICE TO SEE YOU
He swings and misses.
Uncaught third strike. The ball
is thrown to first base. He's out.
One out.
NEXT BATTER IS JUNG-HWAN
STRIKE!
NICE BALL!
-He's like a rock.
-Song Sam-bong!
SONG ROCK, 43, ADAMANT
He misses.
Song Seung-jun's pitch.
He plays with the batter's timing.
Yes.
He got two strikes with two pitches.
Swing with confidence.
(BE CONFIDENT!)
EVERYONE HAS A PLAN
He misses. It's a strikeout.
Nice!
He strikes out three batters in a row.
A high schooler's 137km/h pitch
and our 137km/h pitch are different.
Defense for an hour
and offense for three minutes.
-Strike!
-The first pitch is a strike.
One more thing.
It's as if he's saying,
"I'll pitch as long as I can
for Won-sam."
The players are looking out
for each other.
He swings and misses. Two strikes.
-Seung-jun's every pitch is a strike.
-Yes.
He's pitching a lot of strikes
because he's trying to throw less.
He threw only eight pitches
at the bottom of the third inning.
It's flying high.
HONG-KU FOLLOWS THE BALL
-He follows it.
-Hong-ku, go in!
He can't catch it.
No high schooler can hit stronger
than Baek Jun-seo.
Seung-jun throws it right away.
The previous batter was struck out.
What about this one?
-Strike!
-Another strikeout!
HE RIPPED THE BOTTOM
OF THE 4TH INNING!
It's KKK!
None of the batters could beat Seung-jun.
You killed it!
Go back to Lotte.
-Nice!
-Jeez.
-Nice.
-You still have it.
Don't throw breaking balls.
Jeez.
Outfielders, keep it up!
Three more points to a called game.
LET'S SCORE 3 POINTS
AND END THE GAME
Everyone's unwell, so just three points.
It's the fifth inning.
Lee Hong-ku will bat first.
TOP OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
Hong-ku is doing so well that
he's making us forget the previous game.
Two at bat and two hits.
STRIKE
THAT WAS FAST…
-It was 149km/h.
-He couldn't hit it.
His swing was too slow.
-Jeez.
-A ground ball.
This happens to batters.
-When they're in a bad condition,
-Yes.
the pitcher suddenly throws well.
It's really interesting.
Shim Jun-seok threw
a breaking ball all of a sudden.
ACQUIRED LEE HONG-KU BUFF
149KM/H FASTBALL
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
WE NEED TO SCORE 3 POINTS…
NEXT BATTER HYUN-IN
Left fielder moves and catches the ball.
Two outs.
JUN-HO TRIES TO STEAL A BASE
The ball is thrown to second base.
-He's tagged out on second base.
-Out!
He failed to steal a base.
Still seven points ahead.
It's the bottom of the fifth inning.
-Let's go.
-Defense.
THE TOP OF THE 5TH INNING ENDED
LET'S GO, DUKSOO!
-Duksoo!
-Duksoo!
LET'S CATCH UP IN THE BOTTOM
OF THE 5TH INNING!
-Let's go!
-Duksoo!
It's the bottom of the fifth inning.
Duksoo is at bat.
Song Seung-jun is back on the mound.
This is Seung-jun's third inning.
He probably has less power.
Duksoo has to keep it up.
-That's right.
-Yes.
I'M TIRED AFTER THROWING 21 PITCHES…
-Go!
-Go!
It skips off the bat and flies high.
-Okay!
-Outfield!
WHO IS THE 1ST BASEMAN?
It's foul ground. He follows it.
First baseman Lee Hong-ku catches it.
I can't see it.
He's a good first baseman.
He needs to change position.
FINALLY FOUND(?) HIS MAIN POSITION
Lee Jun-seo is at bat.
Song Seung-jun's most famous nickname
is Song Sam-bong.
A pitcher is credited a shutout
if he pitches the entire game
and doesn't lose any score.
Seung-jun did that three times in a row.
He's really amazing.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
-Good!
-Nice!
You killed it!
SEUNG-JUN IS THE BEST
Speed isn't everything
when it comes to baseball.
He steals the batters' timing.
-Yes.
-Yes.
He's really pitching.
He's pitching, not just throwing.
Yes.
Kim Hyeon-tae is at bat.
NEXT BATTER IS KIM HYEON-TAE
He swings and misses.
The batters can't hit his splitters.
What will happen next?
Seung-jun will throw a four-seam fastball.
Watch.
WILL SEUNG-JUN THROW
A FOUR-SEAM FASTBALL?
SEUNG-JUN, PLEASE THROW A FOUR-SEAM…
SPLITTER…
He hits. The ball flies high.
-Run!
-Run!
RUNNING WITH SHORT STRIDES
-That's it.
-Jeong Keun-woo takes care of it.
Three consecutive strikeouts.
Song Seung-jun struck out
three batters and ended the inning.
I was wrong.
INJURED PRIDE
Please edit it out.
-It was toward the body though.
-Still…
Editors, please…
Please edit the last part out.
TOP OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
DANCING
KYEONG-BEEN, KEUN-WOO,
THEN SEUNG-JUN
-Do you want the elbow guard?
-Yes.
-Batting gloves too.
-Okay.
How do I wear this? I forgot.
How do I wear this?
STRUGGLING
-Are you going to hit it?
-How? I can't hit that.
How can I hit his pitch?
Don't be greedy. Take it easy.
THE PITCHER JUST HAD TO BE SHIM JUN-SEOK…
He often throws toward the body.
He does. Stand afar.
If he hits me, I might kill him.
I'M DEAD SERIOUS
He's swinging.
HE'S JUST PRACTICING HIS SWING…
-Don't do it. Don't swing.
-He's practicing.
Songtani.
It's the top of the sixth inning.
Shortstop Han Kyeong-been
is the first batter.
The score is eight to one.
CK Monsters are seven points ahead.
But I can assure you
that the Monsters are facing a crisis.
Why?
Jeong Seong-hoon
was injured before the game.
Jang Won-sam injured his elbow.
Seo Dong-wook injured his thigh.
A lot of the players are injured.
CK Monsters don't have any backups,
so it's a crisis.
Right. That's why
they need to score three points.
Let's get three points!
KYEONG-BEEN GETS ON BASE
AFTER FOUR BALLS
-Good.
-Good!
Number one batter
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
-Seung-jun, you're next.
-What?
Next.
Put a helmet on and get ready.
Gosh, he's scary.
Song Seung-jun is getting ready to bat.
Number two batter is a pitcher.
How am I going to hit his pitch?
Seung-jun and I
played for Montreal before.
We practiced batting.
You have to bat in Triple-A.
But he isn't as good as me,
so don't expect too much from him.
MR. SONG SAM-BONG
I'LL MAKE YOU REMEMBER THE STATES!
-He's good.
-How can I hit that?
FOUL
It's a foul. It's a fastball at 147km/h.
Jeong Keun-woo is hitting his back.
Because we're the exclusive commentators,
every time we see that,
-we get worried.
-I'm very worried.
(NERVOUS)
Duksoo must not let them score.
The Monsters must score three points.
-Yes.
-That's right.
SURPRISED
It flew toward the head.
HE'S WORRIED, BUT HE REACHES BASE
Did it hit you?
FORTUNATELY, NO
THE NEXT BATTER IS INTIMIDATED…
Seung-jun is nervous.
I need to wear it.
HE WEARS EXTRA GUARDS IN A HURRY
SEUNG-JUN IS REALLY READY TO BAT
Runner is on second base.
KEUN-WOO HAS ANOTHER CHANCE
IF HE CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM,
WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
Shim Jun-seok struck out Jeong Keun-woo.
Now, it's Song Seung-jun's turn to bat.
He's like Ohtani.
Let's go! Song Seung-jun!
SONGTANI, LET'S GO!
TIME!
-They're changing.
-That's good.
This is it for Shim Jun-seok.
The pitcher is substituted
before Song Seung-jun bats.
-It's good.
-That's good.
WE'RE GLAD
I got scared.
Seriously, I was scared to death.
Pitcher Im Jeong-hun is on the mound.
He's the fourth pitcher of Duksoo.
Duksoo is having an all-out war today.
SWINGING
I'm looking forward
to Seung-jun's batting.
Yes.
He looks like a monster hitter.
It looks like he'll hit a big one.
HE HITS!
He hits!
It's a hit.
LEFT FIELDER!
He hits! The ball flies high to the left.
The center fielder.
The left fielder catches it.
-He hit the first pitch.
-He's good at batting.
SONGTANI HIT THE FIRST PITCH!
I TRIED MY BEST, BUT I LOST!
Nice try!
-Baseball genius.
-Songtani.
Baseball genius.
RESPECT
You hit it though.
The ball came too slow.
He swung too fast.
It could've been a good hit
if Shim Jun-seok pitched.
I should've swung a little later. Too bad.
It was close.
-He reminds me of a fastball pitcher.
-Yes.
-He's out!
-He got caught!
2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE
BATTER PARK YONG-TAEK
WHAT DO PARK YONG-TAEK
AND 2 OUTS MEAN?
-He's out!
-He got caught!
CHECKING 2ND BASE,
RUNNER IS TAGGED OUT
Three outs.
Han Kyeong-been is tagged out.
The inning is over.
CK Monsters couldn't score
in the top of the sixth inning.
Good job.
GOOD JOB!
Duksoo is so organized.
-They were perfect.
-It means they practice a lot.
(MOVING)
TURNING!
THE PITCHER AND SHORTSTOP
REACTED INSTANTLY
It's the bottom of the sixth inning.
Seung-jun is back on the mound.
It's like this.
There was a base running mistake
in the previous inning.
So Duksoo made momentum.
Duksoo is focused
on scoring points for four innings.
HE HITS!
The ball passes
the third baseman and shortstop.
Kim Jae-hyeong hit.
-Kim Jae-hyeong!
-Let's go!
NICE KIM JAE-HYEONG
When you look at the scoreboard,
there's one point
and only two hits.
The first batter in the first inning
and Kim Jae-hyeong in the sixth.
Only two batters hit.
Song Seung-jun did a great job of pitching
for many innings.
It's time to substitute Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Manager Lee must be thinking about it.
-Yes.
You have to pitch
for the eighth and ninth innings.
Seung-jun threw 35 pitches.
-I'll standby in the seventh inning.
-Yes.
-Start warming up.
-Yes.
-You might have to go sooner.
-Yes.
-You won't pitch today.
-Okay.
The season is long.
There are 28 games left.
Pinch hitter Kim Tae-hyeong is at bat.
BALL
-The ball is high.
-That scared me.
When the ball starts to float,
-Yoo Hee-kwan has to--
-He has to get ready quickly.
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
ANOTHER BALL!
He swings.
SEUNG-JUN SEEMS TO BE FALTERING
Yoon Jun-ho is good at blocking.
-Yes, he's a fascinating catcher.
-Yes.
He's speedy.
-Yes.
-He's very fast at blocking.
HE CHECKS THE RUNNER QUICKLY!
CALM
-Good job.
-Good job, Jun-ho!
STRIKE
Nice.
He's framing the baseball.
His glove doesn't move.
He's framing to make a ball
look like a strike.
LEE HONG-KU, CHIEF CATCHER
(HE'S PRETTY GOOD…)
Lee Hong-ku is on first base.
LEE HONG-KU, 1ST BASEMAN
(HE'S PRETTY GOOD…)
MR. HONG-KU
I'M PRETTY GOOD TOO!
The runner starts to run.
AFTER A NICE BLOCKING
Okay!
GOOD JOB STEALING BASE!
Nice!
Base-stealing catcher!
I'M A CATCHER STEALING BASE!
Duksoo has to move actively.
They did a great job.
Kim Jae-hyeong reached second base.
It's a crucial moment.
He isn't getting any out counts.
Song Seung-jun.
Run!
RUNNING
Shortstop catches it. First base.
A perfect throw. One out.
-Hey.
-Okay. Good.
Good job.
Kim Jae-hyeong reaches third base.
If you don't get to home base,
it'll be a called game.
Whether it's a single or a double,
come in. Stay alert.
Two more steps.
Second baseman Lee Seung-won is at bat.
He was the only one who had a hit
before the fifth inning.
Stop him.
HIT!
He hits!
WHY DID HE HIT LIKE THAT…
-First base.
-It's going.
Lee Hong-ku catches it.
I GUESS I'M SUITED FOR 1ST BASE
Seung-won, why were you in a hurry?
WHY DID YOU HIT THE FIRST PITCH…
If it's a fastball, run.
RUN IF IT'S A FASTBALL
Pinch hitter Woo Jeong-an is at bat.
He has to hit the ball
and make it fall slightly at all costs.
But Song Seung-jun, the pitcher
with 100 wins, is on the mound.
-It's toward the body.
-It's like this.
That pitch was a setup.
He did it on purpose.
He did it to throw a splitter.
You're saying that
it was the groundwork for the next pitch.
-It's high.
-It's another four-seam.
-It's high.
-It's another four-seam.
I'm making a lot of mistakes today.
I'm sorry.
He threw a fastball.
-Let's just watch.
-Yes.
Maybe he'll throw a splitter this time.
(THAT'S ENOUGH)
-Okay.
-He swings. It's two and two.
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
Good throw! Nice!
Pitcher Song Seung-jun
with 109 winning games
may lose a point to Duksoo High School.
Runner on third base. Only one out left.
Everyone's eyes
are on Song Seung-jun's shoulders.
Get ready!
HE THREW!
-Toward the body. He caught it.
-He wasn't fooled by that?
GOOD BATTING EYE
Really good eye.
That was a really good one.
It's a full count.
All counts are lit up.
-One more!
-Twenty-seven meters.
A runner on third base
is in scoring position.
The best pitcher
versus the best high school team.
WHO WILL BE THE WINNER?
Toward the body.
It was precise. Strikeout.
THE BEST PITCHER SONG SEUNG-JUN WINS
HE'S THE REAL THING
Jeez.
Jeez.
Toward the body.
It was precise. Strikeout.
Duksoo can't beat Song Seung-jun yet.
-His pitch astonishes everyone.
-Jeez.
-Nice ball.
-He's still Song Sam-bong.
Jeez, you're amazing.
You should make a comeback.
You're my hero.
RETURNING IN GLORY
Jeez, I'm tired.
I'M TIRED
I'm super tired.
Goodness.
They need to score
to make it a called game.
TOP OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
It's the top of the seventh inning.
3 POINTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
THE MONSTERS HAVEN'T HAD A HIT
IN 10 AT-BATS
MUST SCORE 3 POINTS IN THE 7TH INNING
The first batter Park Yong-taek is at bat.
Yong-taek!
Three points!
We need to score!
We came to a state of pause.
I had to go on base.
PARK YONG-TAEK, WET TAEK
TO STOP A CALLED GAME
LEFT-HANDED PITCHER
WITH TOP BALL CONTROL, IM JEONG-HUN
STRIKE
A good pitch.
JEONG-HUN PITCHES
A STRIKE COMFORTABLY
It's a ball.
We had to finish the game
in the seventh inning no matter what.
Whether I hit the ball or get hit by it,
I decided to get on base at all costs.
I MUST REVIVE THE SPARK
HE HITS!
He pushed.
Third baseman catches it.
He turns and throws it to first base.
First baseman catches it.
1 OUT
YONG-TAEK FAILS TO GO ON BASE
Third baseman Park Sang-heon
showed good defense.
Park Yong-taek is out
due to a ground ball.
NO HITS IN 11 AT-BATS
-No, we have to score three points.
-We have to score.
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
DUKSOO SUDDENLY CALLS FOR A TIMEOUT
-I can stop them.
-We have a match with Choongam.
-I threw less than ten.
-I know. It's for Choongam.
A SUBSTITUTION AFTER TWO BATTERS?
Duksoo's pitchers change again.
ALREADY?
Why?
Lee Ji-hwan is on the mound.
He took the mound in the first match.
Last time, he pitched for five batters
and didn't lose any points.
JI-HWAN GOT EUI-YOON WITH A FLY BALL
THEY'RE FACING
EACH OTHER AGAIN AFTER A WEEK
The players were facing
a difficult situation.
So I was determined
to hit or to go on base.
He hits a breaking ball.
Toward the shortstop.
He throws it hard to first baseman.
Two outs.
EUI-YOON, INFIELD, GROUND BALL
2 OUTS
THE FOURTH HITTER'S PAINFUL SILENCE
-We'll play the eighth inning.
-A called game isn't easy.
A SERIES OF SMALL AND BIG INJURIES
TO MAKE THINGS WORSE
-Does it hurt?
-No.
SEUNG-JUN'S ELBOW IS HURTING
I felt sorry.
Because ending the game
in the seventh inning
would protect the pitchers.
Now it's Lee Taek-keun.
TAEK-KEUN IS THE ONLY ONE TO TRUST
There are more players on the team
who are injured than not.
I felt the pressure to hit
because there weren't enough players.
CAN TAEK-KEUN GO ON BASE?
FOUL
It hit the end of the bat.
THE MONSTERS CAN'T GET
THE RIGHT TIMING
(TAEK-KEUN, LET'S HIT ONE…)
You'll hit it.
-Strike.
-Outside.
Good pitch!
Outside. Low pitch.
SHARP STRIKE
ONE STRIKE LEFT
TAEK-KEUN, PLEASE…
A CALLED GAME IS FADING AWAY
SIGHING
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
Two strikes. It's an unfavorable count.
Lee Taek-keun!
-Hit it!
-Hit it!
LEE TAEK-KEUN
HIT IT!
THE AUDIENCE IS CHEERING HIM
TO GO ON BASE
WILL TAEK-KEUN GRANT
THE AUDIENCE'S WISH?
Lee Taek-keun!
-Hit it!
-Hit it!
WILL A CALLED GAME GO UP IN SMOKE?
BALL
He threw a killing pitch,
-but Lee Taek-keun had a good eye.
-Yes.
SIGHING
CK Monsters' fifth batter Lee Taek-keun.
HE HITS!
He hits the ball! It's flying high.
He hits the ball! It's flying high.
It goes behind the left fielder.
The ball hits the fence and falls.
FINALLY HE GETS ON BASE
Lee Taek-keun goes on second base.
Finally, he hits a double hit today.
HE FINALLY HIT AFTER 13 AT-BATS
TAEK-KEUN'S FIRST HIT OF THE DAY
TRUSTWORTHY TAEK-KEUN
The pitcher needed a strike.
-But he hit the ball.
-Yes.
LEE TAEK-KEUN IS ON 2ND BASE
AND IN A SCORING POSITION
LEE HONG-KU 2 HITS 3 AT-BATS
-Let's go, Hong-ku.
-Hong-ku!
EXPECTATIONS GO UP
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
BALL
GOOD EYE!
It falls low.
AFTER A HIT, JI-HWAN IS FALTERING
It's okay.
THE BALL COUNT IS
UNFAVORABLE TO JI-HWAN
HONG-KU IS IN HIS BEST CONDITION
-What?
-Go!
2ND BASE RUNNER TAEK-KEUN DIDN'T RUN
-Taek-keun didn't move.
-He didn't run
because of the score of eight to one.
Right.
With two outs,
he can't score from a sacrifice hit
even if he's on third base.
-Right.
-Yes.
THE BALL COUNT IS
ABSOLUTELY FAVORABLE
BATTING COUNT!
-Come on, Hong-ku.
-Here it comes.
WE DESPERATELY NEED A HIT
-Let's go.
-Go.
I'LL HIT NO MATTER WHAT!
Lee Hong-ku.
FOUR BALLS
It comes in low. Four balls.
He goes on first base.
You did it!
I thought he'd throw a fastball,
but he didn't.
When Taek-keun goes in, you go in too.
Okay.
2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST, 2ND BASES
CK Monsters want to end the game
in the seventh inning.
WE SEE HOPE
The CK Monsters'
three young guns are up next.
THE 3 YOUNGEST CK MONSTERS
YOON JUN-HO, RYU HYUN-IN,
HAN KYEONG-BEEN
Ryu Hyun-in will be at bat.
He has to hit. This is a great chance.
-If he hits, he'll be the MVP.
-Hyun-in, hit a home run.
AFTER 2 OUTS, 2 BATTERS WENT ON BASE
THEY NEED A HIT DESPERATELY
We got the momentum,
so I thought it was doable.
HYUN-IN, PLEASE HIT ONE!
He pushes. It's a foul ball.
FOUL
SIGHING
The young guns know
that they need to score quickly.
They probably want to do something
because everyone else is injured.
They want to solve the problem.
They probably want
to make it easier for them.
-That's right.
-Yes.
It falls low.
BALL
1 BALL 1 STRIKE
Ryu Hyun-in, hit it!
-Second base.
-It didn't work.
THE CATCHER GAVE A SIGN
THE BASE IS EMPTY?
-It didn't work.
-It didn't come in.
THE BALL ROLLS TO THE CENTER FIELDER
-Go!
-Go!
It didn't come in.
The runners can move one more base.
HONG-KU GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND BASE
The pitcher read the catcher's sign.
But the shortstop
and second baseman didn't.
Then, with one hit,
they can score two points.
CK Monsters need only three points.
Yes. They're in scoring positions.
There are two runners
on second and third bases.
Hyun-in, let's go!
THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO SCORE
With one hit, they can score two points.
Third baseman Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
DUKSOO IS FACED WITH THE WORST CRISIS
The senior players were having a hard time
because of the injuries,
so I thought I had to hit.
HE HITS!
He won't let them have it easy!
It's a hit inside the line.
RELIABLE RYU HYUN-IN!
DON'T LOOK BACK AND RUN
Yes!
RYU HYUN-IN IS THE FUTURE
3RD BASE RUNNER TAEK-KEUN
HOME IN
THE FAIR BALL ROLLS
ALL THE WAY TO THE FENCE
Third and second-base runners
can all come in.
2ND BASE RUNNER HONG-KU IS IN TOO
MONSTERS 10 : 1 DUKSOO
-Good job.
-Okay.
-Hyun-in!
-Yes!
-The batter reaches second base.
-Yes!
Ryu Hyun-in's two-run hit.
PROUD OF THE YOUNGEST PLAYER
-Good!
-Hyun-in!
THAT'S MY BOY
Jeez.
MIXED FEELINGS
Jun-ho and Kyeong-been will end the game.
It's ten to one.
Only one point left.
The runner is in a scoring position.
RYU HYUN-IN ON 2ND BASE
IS IN A SCORING POSITION
He's one of the three young guns.
Catcher Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.
Today, he showed a great play.
CATCHER HAS
THE MOST INVISIBLE POSITION
HE SUPPORTS THE PITCHERS QUIETLY
HE CHEERS THE TEAM UP
HE'S THE HIDDEN CONTRIBUTOR
WHO LET DUKSOO SCORE ONLY 1 POINT
THE MONSTERS' DREAM CATCHER
YOON JUN-HO
NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE OFF
THE CATCHER'S MASK AND BAT
He's in a scoring position.
He needs to concentrate.
BATTER YOON JUN-HO
I don't think
I had a chance to show myself off.
The senior players were injured
and they were in bad conditions.
I thought I should finish the game
as the youngest player.
CK Monsters are desperate for one point.
It's high.
Please. Let me score
to make it a called game.
I'll end it no matter what.
HYUN-IN IS READY TO RUN ANYTIME
WITH ONE HIT,
HE CAN MAKE A CALLED GAME
WILL HE MAKE A CALLED GAME?
OR WILL HE STOP A CALLED GAME?
WHICH WAY
WILL
JUN-HO'S BALL GO?
He hits! Left and center fielders.
It drops perfectly.
THE INJURED PLAYER IS RELIEVED
That's it!
ANOTHER INJURED PLAYER IS RELIEVED
MOM, I DID IT!
He scores one point they needed!
RUNNING HOME
MONSTERS 11 : 1 DUKSOO
The three young guns.
Ryu Hyun-in and Yoon Jun-ho
finally made the ten-point gap.
YOON JUN-HO IS TODAY'S BEST PLAYER
JUN-HO IS THE BEST
-Good job!
-Nice!
-You did it.
-Nice.
-We did it.
-Good hit.
Now, CK Monsters
can finish the game in the seventh inning.
Yoon Jun-ho's hit
was a really great one.
THE BALL CUT ACROSS
THE LEFT AND CENTER FIELDERS
I'M THE BEST TODAY
Pull him down. Next pitcher.
DUKSOO CHANGES PITCHERS
Pitcher substitution.
Closer Lee Ye-hak is going on the mound.
One point to a called game.
He has to stop them by all means.
Yes.
Now, Han Kyeong-been is at bat.
YOUNG GUN HAN KYEONG-BEEN IS AT BAT
Kyeong-been, let's go!
-One more!
-Yes, you have to hit.
LINE DRIVE!
2ND BASE RUNNER YOON JUN-HO
Han Kyeong-been
will have Duksoo's closer Lee Ye-hak.
What will Han Kyeong-been be like?
The ball bounces outward! To third base.
The runner Yoon Jun-ho reaches third base.
Score one more point!
Come in, Kyeong-been!
ANOTHER CHANCE TO SCORE
IT'S THE OLDEST YOUNG GUN
KYEONG-BEEN'S CHANCE TO SCORE
FOUL
He hits. It flies high. It's foul.
Han Kyeong-been is nervous
because Ryu Hyun-in and Yoon Jun-ho hit.
Right.
He'll want to show them too.
COMMENTATOR KIM SUN-WOO
2 BALLS 1 STRIKE
FEELING THE PRESSURE TO HIT
FEELING THE PRESSURE TO STOP HIM
FOUL
KYEONG-BEEN'S TIMING IS OFF
In the front!
It's a strike!
-Strike!
-Jeez.
GOODNESS…
GOOD JOB, LEE YE-HAK
A strikeout without a swing.
The seventh inning is over.
CK Monsters managed
to make the ten-point gap.
Will they be able to guard that score?
-One inning.
-Let's go!
Let's go.
LET'S GO AND DEFEND
Play like Duksoo. Okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Okay! Go!
It's the bottom of the seventh inning.
BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 11 : 1 DUKSOO
Yoo Hee-kwan is on the mound.
(EYES SHAKING)
1ST MATCH WITH DUKSOO
FASTBALL
BREAKING BALL
EEPHUS PITCH
HEE-KWAN STOPPED DUKSOO'S BATTERS
We have a lot of injured players,
so I will do my best
to stop them from hitting.
I came into the mound to defend the inning
with three pitches.
It's 11 to 1. A 10-point difference.
To make a called game happen,
Yoo Hee-kwan must not allow a single run.
For CK Monsters,
they must finish the game
in this seventh inning.
That's right.
HE'S ANXIOUS
THREE OUTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Jung-hwan is the first batter.
JU JUNG-HWAN, SHORTSTOP
WON BONGHWANGDAEGI MVP
THE ACE PLAYER OF DUKSOO
CAN'T ALLOW THE FIRST BATTER
TO GET ON BASE NO MATTER WHAT
He hits a breaking ball.
HITS THE FIRST PITCH
It's a fly ball.
It goes behind the left fielder.
It goes to Park Yong-taek.
He catches the ball.
HE LAUGHS
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN
NICE CATCH
-Yes!
-Nice!
JUNG-HWAN IS OUT
AFTER HIS FAILED STRATEGY
2 MORE OUTS UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Baek Jun-seo is up now.
BAEK JUN-SEO, THE 4TH HITTER
There's one out with no runner.
Two more outs are needed for Hee-kwan.
I CANNOT ALLOW A SINGLE BASE
STRIKE
-Strike!
-Goes into the zone.
HE'S AMAZED AT THE PITCH
-Nice pitch!
-Nice!
GOD DIDN'T GIVE ME SPEED,
BUT HE GAVE ME COMMAND, BY HEE-KWAN
THE BALL HITS!
It's a ground ball. Shortstop gets it.
He throws it to first base! And it's out!
Two outs!
NICE DEFENSE!
THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME IS OURS
One more out left.
1 MORE OUT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Hey. Go on the mound.
THE GAME ISN'T OVER YET
LET'S GO DUKSOO
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING WITH 2 OUTS
THE 5TH BATTER,
PARK SANG-HEON IS AT BAT
Just one more out left.
IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER
Hee-kwan is against Sang-heon.
THE VERY LAST OUT
BEFORE IT'S A CALLED GAME
THE FIRST HIT GOES OVER
THE FOUL TERRITORY
STRIKE
CONTROL AND COMMAND
EQUALS YOO HEE-KWAN
Manager Jung, who was determined
to win the game.
The expressions of both managers
are very different.
It's out of the zone.
HE MANAGED TO HOLD HIS SWING
WITH ALL HIS MIGHT
SANG-HEON'S WILL TO GET ON A BASE
HE'S SURPRISED SANG-HEON HELD BACK
Try your best!
URGING HIM TO TRY HIS BEST
UNTIL THE END
A BREATHTAKING TENSION
The count is one and two.
He pitches it near the batter's body!
WIN BY CALLED GAME
Strikeout! The game ends here!
The game is called due to mercy rule,
like CK Monster wished for.
They make this possible in two games!
Nice pitch, Hee-kwan.
A PERFECT FINISH BY HEE-KWAN
Well played!
THE YOUNGEST PLAYER IS HAPPY
Well played, guys.
-Well done!
-Well played!
-We did it!
-Yes!
Good job.
Nice job.
-You're going to make a clean sweep.
-Thank you.
-You will.
-I truly hope you win next time.
Thank you.
Well done. Nice game.
-Good job, guys.
-Well played.
HIGH FIVE
WITH ALL THE DUKSOO PLAYERS
Well done, guys.
SWEEPS TWO GAMES AGAINST DUKSOO
Good job.
THE LAST PIECE OF MEMORY
WITH THE DUKSOO ATHLETES
BOUGHT THIS WITH OUR MONEY
(WE WELCOME SPONSORS)
-What's your name?
-Kim Hyeon-tae.
-Hyeon-tae?
-Yes.
-Tae?
-Yes.
TO HYEON-TAE
Seung-won, you can do this!
Don't be sick, stay healthy,
and choose well.
Never give up.
Shouldn't I get their autographs?
They'll become famous.
I believe I'm privileged
because not everyone can play
against them.
Although they're retired,
they showed persistent plays
despite their age,
and they kept the rules and manners
while playing the game.
They are the things I learned
and will practice
when I become a pro athlete.
MANAGER JUNG LOOKS RELIEVED
AFTER THE GAME
I really think
they're going to make a clean sweep.
They've been retired for a while.
So I thought it was going to be
a close match with my team.
I think they showed a good example
to the young athletes
with their passionate attitude and plays.
It was a precious opportunity
that the Duksoo players will never forget.
Thank you. You've done well.
It was very difficult.
Seo Dong-wook and Jang Won-sam
probably had issues with their injury.
I thought really hard
to play the game out well.
A VALUABLE VICTORY
THROUGH COOPERATION
When managers do interviews,
they always say,
"This is thanks to the athletes."
Now I understand why.
CK MONSTERS 11 : 1 DUKSOO
As expected, Hong-ku.
THE GAME FINALLY ENDS
-The MVP is Hong-ku today.
-That's not true.
-Walk in proudly since we won.
-Yes, we did!
Let's applaud ourselves!
SELF-APPLAUDING
WE DID A GOOD JOB TODAY
They aren't even happy about our win.
It's like they expected this.
-Goodness.
-Nice job running for me
In your second game,
you got a victory by mercy rule.
-Nice!
-Nice job!
We did it!
CONGRATULATIONS
ON CK MONSTERS' VICTORY
We didn't expect this to happen.
They changed after the first game.
This is what you call a pro.
HE'S SUDDENLY SO ARROGANT
-Yes. This is a pro.
-Indeed.
Totally.
We did win,
but there were dangerous situations.
WHEN THERE'S LIGHT,
THERE'S ALWAYS A SHADOW
Dong-wook. Why did you suddenly…
I'm not sure. I think I overdid it.
I think I have a sore muscle.
HOW HARD WERE YOU TRYING?
-You tried too hard shooting the teaser.
-That's true.
YOU TRIED HARD SHOOTING THE TEASER
THAT'S TRUE
TEASER SHOOTING HAPPENED
THE DAY BEFORE
I can't run anymore.
We're done, right?
It's because of that.
-The teaser?
-Yes.
-They made me sprint.
-Someone else was injured.
Won-sam was injured.
I've never been injured when I was a pro.
This never happened to me.
I'll be fine in a week.
-I see.
-You don't have to worry so much.
-He's overreacting.
-No one's worried about you.
DON'T WORRY
NO ONE IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU
-He's worried that he'd get kicked out.
-Goodbye, then.
WHATEVER, I'LL JUST KICK YOU OUT
There are lots of pitchers
from Major League.
Well played, everyone.
I'll announce the MVP for today's game.
Manager Jung, Manager Lee,
and the commentators
chose only one player.
A UNANIMOUS VOTE ON A SINGLE PERSON
A unanimous vote.
Game Two between Duksoo and CK Monsters.
THE SECOND MATCH!
The MVP today is…
A HIT THAT LEADS TO MERCY RULE!
IS IT ACE JUN-HO?
A SUDDEN APPEARANCE!
IS IT SEUNG-JUN WHO PITCHED WELL?
IT'S UNPREDICTABLE
The MVP is…
Songtani!
It's Song Seung-jun!
THE ONLY MVP OF GAME 2 WITH DUKSOO
SONG SEUNG-JUN
They acted like you weren't the MVP.
-Song Seung-jun!
-Song Seung-jun!
CALL OUT HIS NAME, SONG SEUNG-JUN!
Hee-kwan! Well played today.
HEE-KWAN JUST PLAYED WELL TODAY
Manager Lee, please grant
this award to the MVP.
THE AWARD IS GIVEN BY THE MANAGER!
MORE REWARDS TODAY
FOR THE ONE AND ONLY MVP
-There's a doll.
-A doll?
THE MVP MEDAL
IS FINALLY AROUND HIS NECK!
It's a bit heavy.
-You put this on.
-Okay.
-The doll is cute.
-There's a doll?
A DOLL THAT LOOKS LIKE SEUNG-JUN
SEUNG-JUN JUNIOR
Please come here and say a word.
If Won-sam pitched
until the fifth or the sixth inning,
it would've been the best.
I think that Won-sam will be
the MVP next time.
I'm only receiving this on his behalf.
And I want to be
the MVP just five more times.
HIS HUMBLENESS WAS A FAKE
You're good at faking.
Congratulations.
5 TIMES? I WANT TO BE THE MVP
AT LEAST ONCE
HIS SPEECH MADE PEOPLE SMILE
All right.
I'll reveal the next stage right now.
I'm so curious.
THEY'RE CURIOUS
-Who could it be?
-If you look…
You edit the videos so the opponents
seem like the world's best.
That's so true.
The video makes you afraid.
MAXIMUM PRESSURE
-They're good.
-It's Choongam High School.
IT'S CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL!
Analyze quickly. Look at their pitches.
My ERA is 1,78 on 76 innings.
With 95 strikeouts.
My batting average
at a junior high competition was .700.
He's like Park Yong-taek.
I know. There's another .700 batter.
IS BEING A .700 BATTER A TREND?
I'm confident I won't allow a run.
Losing doesn't feel good.
I think we'll be able to beat them.
GULP…
-They're good.
-Choongam.
-I think they play with more strategy.
-Really?
-Duksoo is…
-They strategize more than Duksoo.
Choongam players use their brains a lot.
They're really fast.
They're pretty loud.
CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL
-They don't seem easy.
-Now the players.

A STRONG PITCH
FASTEST PITCH, 145KM/H
-Wow.
-Dear me.
The southpaw and this guy are good.
-He's pretty good.
-His ball is going to be good.
I think they're better than Duksoo.
THEY THINK CHOONGAM IS BETTER
THE 4TH HITTER
KIM DONG-HEON
POWERFUL SWING
STABLE BLOCKING
CHOONGAM'S CAPTAIN
-Go!
-Go!
Let's go!
-They're cool.
-How do you feel?
-Well. It was fun.
-It was.
THEY'RE LUKEWARM
-It's easy.
-Just skip the video.
Everyone is relaxed now.
-They're different.
-They're more confident.
HOW THEY FELT 2 WEEKS AGO
WATCHING DUKSOO
HE'S NOT HOLDING HIS TEARS BACK
Now comes the interview with the manager.
CONTINUE WITH
THEIR MANAGER'S INTERVIEW
-It'll be unique.
-Manager Lee Young-bok.
-He's been a coach a long time.
-He's a legend.
He's so scary.
Are you better than Duksoo?
Of course. I believe we are better.
I asked the same question to Duksoo.
They say they're better.
What do you think?
Well…
There's nothing I can do to stop them
from thinking like that,
but as for us,
we're definitely much better than them.
WE ARE "MUCH" BETTER
We'll know when you see us play.
-I see.
-Yes.
I think Choongam will be better.
You don't think so?
TRYING TO HIDE THEIR EXPRESSIONS
I'll show you the players on my team.
REVEALING THE PLAYERS
Yes. They're strong players.
-What was that?
-He didn't even read it properly.
AT LEAST READ IT PROPERLY
How do you think
they'll do against Choongam?
No need to ask. We'll win.
Some players here retired years ago.
They'll lose to
the young, high school energy.
We have strong players.
WE'RE BETTER
HE LAUGHED?
CAN HE LAUGH UNTIL THE END?
Man. This is nuts.
What's your chance of winning?
We'll most likely win
two games out of three.
How about out of ten games?
At least seven games.
-Seven games.
-Yes.
-Seven games.
-He really likes seven.
I GUESS IT REALLY IS A TREND
Duksoo guessed they'll win eight games.
Really?
Then, we'll go with ten games.
We'll win all.
If we go easy, maybe seven games.
But if we play seriously, I'm confident
we'll win ten games out of ten.
You'll know when you face us.
(GOODBYE, THEN)
THEY'RE PROVOKED
Yes. They're no match for us.
"No match for us"?
-Fun video.
-I must practice a lot.
How do you feel?
I was pretty exhausted today.
But I feel competitive
and energetic again.
HE GETS COMPETITIVE AGAIN
You saw today that they got injured.
I was worried
because they aren't young anymore.
But they played with so much passion.
And two consecutive wins.
I really have to
think again about this at home.
You guys are doing so well.
I hope two wins will become three.
Let's gather and chant to end the day.
Dear me.
THEY'LL DIE
BEFORE THEY KILL CHOONGAM
We're definitely the best.
We have no enemies.
Let's prepare well for the next game.
Let's do this.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
WAIT FOR ME, THREE CONSECUTIVE WINS
MONSTERS VS CHOONGAM
WILL START NOW!
-Let's go!
-Yes!
2 GAMES 2 WINS 0 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE A THOUSAND
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello, sir.
-Oh, dear.
-Hello.
-I feel so heavy.
You just heard my groan.
Why are you guys all here in Busan?
My shoulder isn't well.
Same for my elbow.
For the first time in his career,
he came into the dugout
because he was in pain.
I'm fine everywhere else.
But I didn't expect to hurt my elbow.
He said he can't even throw 18,44 meters.
Then I'll get kicked out.
HE'S GIVEN UP
Watch your mouth.
Do you want to get kicked out?
Seung-jun. You can pitch
until the day after tomorrow.
HE'S VERY RELIABLE
So we're going to have an ultrasound test.
-To look at the inflammation.
-Yes.
-They check your condition.
-Then you get treated?
-You might get a prescription.
-Or find a way to exercise.
LET'S GET CHECKED FIRST
-Please sit.
-Okay.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
When your MCL is damaged,
you can't flex like that.
There's a big bone chip right here.
I see. I had this bone
around MCL for a long time.
-Really?
-Yes. I already had it.
You can't see the MCL
because it's shattered.
The ultrasound can't read it.
We may have to examine it more thoroughly.
Let's do an MRI.
Right now?
MRI RIGHT NOW?
HE'S SURPRISED
Just get tested now.
How will you wait until next week?
This is making me depressed.
It might be okay.
You already had the bone there.
I don't think it's acute
because it's not swollen.
Let's check just in case.
AS THE WAITING BECOMES LONGER
I've never been in this much pain before.
HE SEEMS ANXIOUS
THE MRI FINALLY STARTS
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULTS?
EXAMINATION COMPLETE
Oh my gosh.
TIME TO CHECK THE RESULTS
-This is fascinating.
-Why?
About 80 percent
of the ligament became a bone.
-What?
-It became a bone.
-The ligament?
-Yes.
-What does that mean?
-Maybe it's stiff.
Part of your MCL becomes like this.
-It's calcified.
-That thing over there.
-Is that bone?
-Yes. About 2,5 cm.
HE MUST'VE USED HIS ARM
COUNTLESS TIMES
But when the MRI showed that
part of your ligament is sprained.
There's a bit of inflammation.
-Inflammation?
-How should I put this?
This part on the top of the ligament.
-That's the ligament.
-Yes. And it turned white, right?
Yes. a little bit.
That's how you know
there's an inflammation.
It's not that serious though.
Rest for a week before pitching.
-It's fine.
-Okay.
Then no need for treatments?
Yes. Just pitch a week later.
CLAPPING IN RELIEF
Thank goodness.
I think so. I'm stiff here too.
My biceps are stiff too.
MUSCLE BECAME STIFF DUE TO LONG REST
I never knew.
MOVEABLE RANGE BECOMES
WIDER WITH PAIN
Over there.
I MUST ENDURE!
THEN I'LL BE STRONGER!
Darn it!
It's like all my muscles are
sending me signals.
"You're starting again."
GROANING
MY CELLS, WAKE UP!
You think I can use my shoulder tomorrow?
That stings!
Are you crying?
YOU CRYING?
I have to endure.
Do I have to take it this far?
When I'm throwing…
You can't do it like that.
That really stings!
GOCHEOK SKY DOME
-Hello!
-Hey!

THEY HAVE NO SECRETS
Let's shoot this again!
THE PRODUCER IS

I'll announce the starting players last.
And there's good news today.
GOOD NEWS?
The production crew got us two players.
THEY DECIDED TO ADD 2 MORE PLAYERS
They recruited two more.
So I met them yesterday.
They'll be a big help to this team.

KIM MOON-HO, THE DEAREST
A WELL-ROUNDED PLAYER
WITH GOOD SWING
GOOD DEFENSE
AND EXCEPTIONAL BASE RUNNING,
THE PERFECT BATTER
THEY'RE GOOD REINFORCEMENTS
These two players came today.
Also they played a game yesterday,
and they were fit.
So they'll be playing today. No practice.
-Today.
-You tested them, right?
Of course. I tested them.
-It's been a while.
-Hello, sir.
-Dae-eun. My first time seeing you.
-Hello.
It's the first time, right?
The game tomorrow is important. So…
You guys are welcome to join the team.
(DAE-EUN IS CONFUSED)
It's a free pass for the pitchers.
There aren't any pitchers left.
So for Moon-ho, I want to see him swing.
So get ready.
EXCLUSIVE TEST BEGINS(?)
Darn. It's flying.
Do you want to hit this way?
HE HITS THE OPPOSITE WAY
HE'S EXHAUSTED ALREADY
-Darn.
-One more. Last one.
I WANT
TO BE A PITCHER TOO…
WHATEVER, JUST SWING THE BAT
YOU'RE NOT THERE YET, NEWBIE(?)
SWINGING WITH RAGE
HE'S GETTING HIS TOUCH BACK
PLEASE GIVE ME A PASS!
HE'S ABOUT TO FAINT
He can stop. Looks good.
Yes.
Moon-ho. Congratulations on joining.
No money for signing the contract.
AN EVIL MANAGER
-The cap is small.
-You look like a guide.
HE LOOKS LIKE A TOURIST GUIDE
In Thailand.
SENOR TAEK, MEXICAN GUIDE(?)
Look at him. Do you see?
ON THE OTHER HAND,
THE CAP SUITS HIM WELL
THEY'RE CLAPPING
Why don't you take a photo?
Jun-ho, take the picture.
Dae-eun is a rapper,
and Moon-ho is a guide.
So true, right?
You have your banana boat, right?
A PHOTO FOR RECRUITING
A RAPPER AND A GUIDE(?)
I'll announce today's lineup.
ANNOUNCING THE LINEUP AGAIN
TAEK-KUN, CF
KEUN-WOO, 2B
Number six is…
THEY EXPECT TO GET CALLED
Number six is…
-Moon-ho.
-Okay.
6TH BATTER, KIM MOON-HO
-Me?
-That's right.
You may get kicked out
if it doesn't work out today.
-Number seven, Jun-ho.
-Yes, sir.
-Catcher.
-Okay.
Number eight, Hong-ku.
Yes, sir.
Why are you disappointed?
-Because you're number eight?
-No, sir.
You surprised me, Hong-ku.
HE WORRIES EASILY
-His response was…
-He thinks he's a catcher.
-Again. Number eight, Hong-ku.
-Yes.
-First base.
-Yes, sir!
-Number nine, Hyun-in.
-Yes.
-Shortstop.
-Yes.
SHORTSTOP, RYU HYUN-IN
Today's starting pitcher.
It's Song Seung-jun.
THE MVP OF THE SECOND GAME!
We'll have to discuss it today,
but I heard Soo-chang is okay here,
but not here.
-I'm fine now.
-You are?
So for today,
-Seung-jun will pitch first.
-Okay.
Dae-eun will be the second.
Okay. I think we're done here.
Before we go out,
since there are new players here today…
-We prepared something.
-Really?
Encouragement money?
Something that'll cheer us up?
Encouragement money!
A table is coming in.
Isn't it the mascot?
It's Park Dong-won.
PARK DONG-WON (?) IS COMING IN…
I thought we were just cutting cakes.
-Tuna!
-Tuna?
It's what you like, right?
WHAT'S WITH THE TUNA?
Why do we have tuna all of a sudden?
It's the 40th anniversary
of Korean professional baseball.
So we collaborated with Dongwon tuna.
All the teams are on here.
The team logos are there too.
-This looks good.
-It smells so good.
I can't eat tuna though.
But there's plenty of protein in tuna.
May I try one?
-Try it.
-Yes. Let's eat it.
-Thank you for the food.
-Everyone, try it.
-Which one should I eat?
-Where's my red pepper tuna?
My red pepper tuna.
MUNCHING
-This is good.
-It is?
Yes. It is.
-It's delicious.
-Which one did you eat?
-How come you can't eat this?
-This one is good.
TUNA WITH PROTEIN IS
THE BEST BEFORE BASEBALL!
Inside the tuna…
YOO HEE-KWAN WHO LOVES CAPITALISM
I know it's delicious,
but we have a game to play.
The tuna disappeared so quickly.
Let's go.
LET'S PREPARE FOR THE GAME!
10 MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME STARTS
CK Monsters are on a winning streak.
They face yet another strong team.
Hello. Welcome
to the third game of CK monsters.
We have Kim Sun-woo
with us as a commentator.
-Hello.
-Hello.
CK Monsters managed to get two wins
against Duksoo High School.
Now, they are facing another strong team,
Choongam High School baseball team.
They're one of the top three
high school baseball teams in Korea.
I think we can expect a lot from them.
That's right.
We have to stay strong
and not be overwhelmed by them.
We'll win no matter what.
We came prepared today,
so I don't think we'll lose easily.
THE TENSION IS HIGH
BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS
-They went beyond our expectations.
-They were excellent.
I was also quite surprised.
CK Monsters are
now playing their third game,
-so they must have improved.
-Yes.
Batter one
for Choongam High is Lee Seon-u.
Two, Lee Chung-heon.
Three, Woo Seung-won. Four, Kim Dong-heon.
Five, Park Chae-ul.
Six, Cho Hyeon-min. Seven, Im Jun-ha.
Eight, Lee Seong-hyeon.
Nine, Kim Min-seok.
And Byeon Geon-u is the starting pitcher.
CK Monsters' defense. The outfield.
Jung Eui-yoon, Lee Taek-keun, Kim Moon-ho.
And infield. I see that
Seo Dong-wook is on third base.
Ryu Hyun-in is the shortstop.
Jeong Keun-woo, on second base.
Lee Hong-ku is now on first base,
and Yoon Jun-ho is the catcher once again.
Yoon Jun-ho is great on defense,
so Lee Hong-ku suits as the first baseman.
The third game of CK Monsters begins now.
Give them a hand!
BOTH TEAMS CHEER PASSIONATELY
Let's go!
Song Seung-jun became
the starting pitcher
for the first time today.
Song Seung-jun.
I can already feel his nervousness,
unlike how Song Sam-bong usually is.
We met him before the match
and wondered why he was that nervous.
-Why is he so nervous?
-Right?
This is driving me insane.
What if I don't do well?
I got nervous and anxious.
Won-sam isn't at 100 percent,
nor is Soo-chang.
Dae-eun just came,
so he needs to get in shape.
I must pitch for at least
four or five innings
for other pitchers to pitch
without pressure.
I was very nervous.
MUCH PRESSURE
ON THE STARTING PITCHER
Batter one, Lee Seon-u is up.
LEE SEON-U
He has good speed, throwing, and power.
In 2021, he won the award as the MVP
and the batting champion
at National Middle School Championship.
-Seon-u, let's go!
-Let's go!
-You got this!
-Hit it!
-Go!
-You can do it!
He's up against Song Seung-jun.
-Strike.
-First pitch, a strike near his body.
THE BALL FLIES RAPIDLY
Song Seung-jun throws
near his body from the first pitch.
MURMURING
That was close.
He's still a good pitcher.
SONG SEUNG-JUN,
YOU STILL GOT YOUR GAME
-Strike.
-Another count with a curve ball.
SEUNG-JUN GETS ANOTHER COUNT
WITH A CURVE BALL
-Strike.
-Good play!
He got the curve ball.
Tell him to get him now.
HOW WILL HE THROW TO STRIKE HIM OUT?
It's strike two.
THREE THROWS, THREE STRIKES
Miss. Strikeout.
Three throws, three strikes.
He gets the first batter
with three pitches.
1 OUT
After two strikes, professional players
always throw such a winning pitch.
He throws a splitter
in order to strike him out.
That was a perfect splitter.
I feel burdened.
It's just a real match, isn't it?
He threw so well, so I feel pressured.
Lee Chung-heon is at bat.
He's a second-year at Choongam High.
-Strike.
-First pitch. A fastball.
A fastball of 137km/h. It's 1 strike.
EASY DEFENSE
His pitch control is amazing right now.
Song Seung-jun is throwing
lots of strikes today.
-Strike.
-A little to the outside.
THE PITCH CAME IN A BIT OUTSIDE
But things look great.
I think Yoon Jun-ho is
a master at framing.
Framing is a skill set he has
that'll make the pitch look like a strike.
-He's a catcher who's great at that.
-He is.
Gosh, he's really good at framing.
I always compliment someone for a reason.
Slam.
HE'S AT AN UNFAVORABLE COUNT
Ball count, strike two.
He throws down and out.
IT'S A HIT!
-Yes!
-Good!
-He hits. It goes to the right.
-Fly out!
It drops in the foul zone.
He's still a high school student,
and that pitch was on the outside.
The contact was excellent.
And when he's out on the field,
he's one of the fastest runners
on the team too.
The count is on the pitcher's side.
The ball drops.
It rolls out. He dashes to first base.
He throws to first base.
He's out. Strikeout.
SATISFIED
He'll strike out nine at this rate.
That means he'll have to throw 27 strikes.
Song Seung-jun's splitters
at the beginning of the game are
-literally monstrous pitches.
-Yes.
On top of that,
look at how Yoon Jun-ho blocks.
That was excellent.
We're at two out.
Already?
Before the game began,
Manager Lee Young-bok said
they'll definitely win,
showing tremendous confidence.
Duksoo High did the same.
But the players of CK Monsters are
doing way too well.
Right?
COPY AND PASTE
Batter three, Woo Seung-won.
His biggest strength is
how he handles fastballs.
ONLY ONE MORE OUT TO GO
Let's go!
-Strike.
-Another strike near the body.
-Hey!
-Okay.
Nice pitch.
This is the third batter,
and the first is
always a strike for all three.
He catches the dropping pitch.
Nice catch!
He pulls himself back from swinging
a pitch with a rapid curve.
Batter three, Woo Seung-won.
One more strike.
He hits it with the edge. A foul.
THE COUNT IS ON THE PITCHER'S SIDE
Okay, you made it happen.
ONE MORE STRIKE TO GO
You can do this!
-Strike.
-It's in. Strikeout.
HE DELIVERS ONCE AGAIN
Three Ks.
AMAZED
The last pitch he threw was
Song Seung-jun's expertise,
a perfect downward curve.
Song Seung-jun strikes out
all three batters as a starting pitcher.
My gosh, he isn't human.
-Nice ball!
-Great job.
WE GOT SONG SEUNG-JUN
That was amazing.
Song Seung-jun became
the monster of CK Monsters.
I don't want to pitch after him.
CK Monsters' offense,
the bottom of the first inning.
BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
Time to meet Byeon Geon-u,
Choongam High's starting pitcher.
Who is that guy?
-He's a second-year.
-That was scary.
He's good.
Manager Lee Young-bok evaluates him
as a player who knows
how to fight on the mound.
Like a gamecock.
He's a second-year high school student.
Batter one is Lee Taek-keun.
Lee Taek-keun is down as the first batter.
-Go.
-Okay!
Go, Lee Taek-keun!
Low on the outside.
The speed was mid-140km per hour.
HE THROWS A FASTBALL
FROM THE FIRST PITCH
NICE SPEED
Good.
HIS SPEED IS OVERPOWERING
Focus, defense!
It's high on the outside.
He keeps a good eye on the ball.
-Good catch!
-Good!
Three balls.
GEON-U IS FACED
WITH A DISADVANTAGEOUS COUNT
-Strike.
-Fourth pitch, near the body. Strike.
He gets up. A foul.
The count began at three balls,
but it's now a full count.
Lee Taek-keun hit one foul ball,
so he's in shape.
He must throw a strike now.
What will he throw?
He pitches deep inside.
Byeon Geon-u lets the first batter
get on first base with four balls.
FOUR BALLS FROM THE FIRST PITCHER…
The batter goes out with four balls.
First base, no outs. Jeong Keun-woo is up.
Jeong Keun-woo is showing good hits.
GLANCES
BALL
A ball, near the batter.
TAEK-KEUN INCREASES THE LEAD DISTANCE
Okay, focus. No four balls.
LURKS AROUND
GLANCES
The ball drops behind.
RUN
Lee Taek-keun makes his way
to second base.
He runs in upright.
Hi.
GOOD GRIEF…
Lee is in a scoring position.
Byeon's wild pitch
puts the runner at second base.
Geon-u!
(FORGET THE RUNNER,
FOCUS ON THE BATTER)
High pitch. He spots it.
Once again, four balls.
Lee Taek-keun and Jeong Keun-woo.
Two batters in a row
go out with four balls.
HABITUAL
GEON-U LETS THEM GO
TWICE IN A ROW WITH FOUR BALLS
Umpire, a timeout, please.
Timeout.
-What's with me?
-Nice pitch, but you're too rash.
Let them hit. They're all good batters.
-Yes.
-Don't worry.
It's okay. They'll hit it.
We won't complain.
The catcher, Kim Dong-heon,
quickly runs up and helps the pitcher,
Byeon Geon-u, calm down.
-Great job.
-Yes.
He has lots of experience,
so he can step in and do this.
That was excellent.
First and second base, no outs.
Two batters get four balls.
Park Yong-taek is up.
Park Yong-taek had a hit
from the first pitch.
He hit it to the mid-left.
It was embarrassing.
It made me laugh.
I was embarrassed
before the high school students too.
I made a bonehead play
while I was out as a runner.
If it's thrown to second base,
he'll be out.
HE MIXED UP THE OUT COUNT
AND BECAME OUT
TAGGED OUT AFTER OVERRUNNING
THROWS A WET BLANKET ON THE GAME
AND HOPES TO BE THE MVP
FORGET THE WET TAEK FROM NOW ON
The ball bounces.
It feels like his fastball
has not been zeroed yet.
It's outside, but a little more out.
-Good one. Nice.
-Good!
The count is favorable for Park Yong-taek,
so it's a chance
for him to do a full swing.
Run up!
IT'S A HIT!
It's a hit.
The ball drops down the center.
Go!
RUNNING WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT
THE BALL DROPS
IN FRONT OF THE CENTER FIELDER
HURRY UP!
TAEK-KEUN PASSES THE 3RD BASE
He picks it up and throws it back home.
Okay.
He throws it back home.
And at home, he slides in.
YOU DID IT, LAVA TAEK!
Park Yong-taek's timely hit.
CK Monsters score.
-Nice.
-Nice.
NICE JOB, CAPTAIN
Park Yong-taek aimed to hit that.
When he got the chance,
he expected the pitcher
to throw into the middle
and made a full swing.
His hit turns into a score.
Park Yong-taek begins to come alive
as we play one game after another.
Yes, excellent hit.
Byeon Geon-u
strongly wanted to strike him out.
He's disappointed.
Yes, he comes up.
PITCHING COACH VISITS THE MOUND
Relax and throw. Don't get conscious.
-Okay?
-Yes.
Relax. Take a deep breath,
and let's begin now. Okay?
Yes.
-It's okay. Relax.
-Yes.
-Let's go!
-Yes, let's go!
Take your time and play!
The score is one to zero. CK Monsters
score first from the start.
Batter four, Jung Eui-yoon.
Defense, move back.
THE DEFENSE MOVES BACK
IN PREPARATION FOR A LONG HIT
I CANNOT LOSE MORE POINTS
First pitch, foul.
NICE BALL, GEON-U
-Keep it up!
-Nice pitch!
Relax and throw like that. Good.
-Strike.
-The second pitch is in. Strike one.
Geon-u, you're doing great now.
Jung Eui-yoon only has one count left.
Focus when things are advantageous.
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
The ball bounces. He blocks.
BLOCKS CALMLY
He drops it right in front.
-New ball.
-Switch.
Kim Dong-heon seems dependable.
Isn't he? And he seems relaxed.
RELAXED AND CHARISMATIC
He pitches.
SWING AND MISS
He pitches.
Swing and miss. Strikeout.
GOOD JOB, BYEON GEON-U
Byeon Geon-u
finally gets his first strikeout.
One out. We're at one out.
Second and third base, one out.
5TH BATTER, MVP SEO DONG-WOOK
Batter five, Seo Dong-wook.
Our real lineup begins with Seo Dong-wook.
Of course.
He has a batting average of .571.
BATTING AVERAGE OF .571
His batting balance is excellent.
PERFECT BATTING BALANCE
He hits. It spins to the left.
Catch it.
He hits. It spins to the left.
Left fielder runs and catches.
THROWING IT HOME
It's a battle.
KEUN-WOO GETS READY FOR A TAG UP
Left fielder runs and catches.
-He throws it home.
-It's a battle.
-It's dangerous.
-No.
-Go!
-Catch it!
It's a battle.
WILL HE SCORE? WILL HE BE OUT?
Left fielder throws it home,
but Jeong returns home.
Jeong Keun-woo.
DISAPPOINTED
NICE POINT!
Nice job. Good.
-Okay!
-Great job!
-Good one.
-Nice job.
Seo Dong-wook's sacrifice hit.
The score is two to zero.
They created another solid point.
As expected, Seo Dong-wook
easily hit the pitch
and created a fly to the left.
A POINT MADE AS A TEAM
And Jeong Keun-woo also dashed back home.
SIGH… HUFF…
UGH…
Kim Moon-ho is now up.
He joined CK Monsters as a new player.
How will his first batting go?
Kim Moon-ho was a good player.
-Yes.
-He hit about 171 hits in a year.
I contributed a lot too.
-Did he hit your pitches?
-Yes.
When you join a new team,
the first batting is very important.
He has a great swing.
His shoulders are strong in the outfield.
STRONG SHOULDERS IN THE OUTFIELD
Deep into his body.
Nice catch.
-Good!
-Nice catch.
He needs to hit the ball
-and get Park Yong-taek home.
-Come on in.
Kim Moon-ho will be
a great addition to CK Monsters.
IT'S A HIT!
WHOA!
He hits. The ball flies up high
down the center.
THE BALL FLIES HIGH,
GETS CAUGHT BY THE CENTER FIELDER
Kim Moon-ho' first batting
with CK Monsters
turns out to be a fly.
-It happens a lot.
-Better than me.
GOOD SWING!
CK Monsters get two points first.
Two to zero, to the second inning.
Don't think too much at bat.
You keep losing the timing.
He takes the timing away
with his experience.
Don't lose a chance with your eyes.
Swing confidently.
-Yes.
-Yes.
The top of the second inning.
Song Seung-jun is on the mound again.
Let's go home quickly.
Let's leave after the seventh!
Just to the seventh, Seung-jun!
Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.
He's a catcher,
and his batting average
and on-base percentage are the highest.
WILL SEUNG-JUN
CONTINUE TO STRIKE THEM OUT?
1ST PITCH, FOUL
IT'S A FOUL,
BUT HIS SWING IS A THREAT
Okay, good. That's how you get them.
The catcher is good.
He's one of the top batters.
-On the top?
-He is.
NERVOUS
CHOONGAM 0 : 2 MONSTERS
It goes out.
2ND PITCH, FOUL
-Nice call.
-He swings well.
-Good.
-That was good.
THE PITCHER HAS THE UPPER HAND
But Song Seung-jun will
also go in right away.
-Let's go!
-The pitcher has the upper hand.
BALL
Kim Dong-heon's count goes up.
DONG-HEON CONTINUES TO STAY CALM
As the captain and the cleanup hitter,
he'll want to show something.
He already led his team
-to two victories in his second year.
-Let's go.
CHOONGAM 0 : 2 MONSTERS
The mitt goes out.
And he hits.
Following the fly.
-Lee Hong-ku is there.
-Lee Hong-ku.
He moves and catches.
He hits, but it was a fly. One out.
NICE, HONG-KU
And one out.
-Batter five, Park Chae-ul.
-You can do it!
We were eating, but we all ran out
when we saw his batting practice.
-They were all shocked.
-Yes.
He hit two home runs during the practice.
SEUNG-JUN GIVES A SIGN
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Strike.
-Strike.
-It's not a fastball.
HE LOST THE TIMING
TO THE UNEXPECTED BREAKING BALL
One ball.
1ST BATTER
2ND BATTER
3RD BATTER
THE FIRST PITCH WAS A FASTBALL
He changes his plans
and makes the batters confused.
Yes, I wonder what he'll throw this time.
A FASTBALL? A BREAKING BALL?
-Another breaking ball.
-Ball.
CONFUSED
One more. Let's do one more.
WHAT WILL HE THROW THIS TIME?
CHOONGAM 0 : 2 MONSTERS
Let's run out!
ANOTHER BREAKING BALL!
He pitches. Swing and miss. Strikeout.
-He strikes out five batters.
-Good.
Song Seung-jun strikes him out
as the starting pitcher.
-Nice.
-That's amazing.
-That's what made Duksoo High flustered.
-Exactly.
Their pitches are way too good.
CHO HYEON-MIN, GROUND BALL
That was a fastball.
Jeong Keun-woo catches. To first base.
Steady defense.
Jeong Keun-woo of second base.
Song Seung-jun ends the inning
with a clean record.
Seung-jun is good.
Seung-jun is seriously the number one.
He's so good.
There's nobody else but Soo-chang.
NUMBER 1 BELONGS TO SOO-CHANG!
Who's the best among the five pitchers?
Soo-chang.
My opinion is the same.
The bottom of the second.
CK Monsters are batting.
Choongam High can't lose more points.
-No.
-No.
Fielders, forget the batting.
Make solid defense.
READY FOR PERFECT DEFENSE
WE WON'T LOSE MORE POINTS
The pitcher is Byeon Geon-u,
who struck out
Jung Eui-yoon, Seo Dong-wook,
and Kim Moon-ho.
The batter is Yoon Jun-ho.
His batting average is .667.
Byeon, the starting pitcher,
is up against a batter
with the highest average.
IT'S A HIT!
It's a hit. To the left center field.
Left center field. It's a hit.
Another hit. Yoon Jun-ho's bat is
hard at work once again.
-Good!
-Jun-ho!
NICE, JUN-HO
It's reassuring to have a batter like him.
The ball came in a little high,
but Yoon Jun-ho has
a great swinging projection.
-Manager Lee Seung-yuop praised him.
-I see.
That was Yoon Jun-ho.
Do you know why I'm scared?
I'm scared that Yoon Jun-ho
may not remain with CK Monsters.
-Why?
-He might return as a pro.
He must leave after this program ends.
-Right.
-We're going to do this until season ten.
I cannot let him go.
-Geon-u.
-Good job.
Relax and do what you have to do.
Don't overthink it.
-Do as you always have.
-Yes.
Come back, batter.
The first batter goes out on base again.
Lee Hong-ku is next at bat.
They must create a chance to score.
Jun-ho, it'll bounce, so get ready.
It'll come.
1ST BASE RUNNER IS READY
GROUND BALL…
Yes.
-It's a hit.
-Left!
It flies out.
Left and center fielders come in.
-Go out.
-Left fielder.
A solid defense.
Park Chae-ul catches Lee Hong-ku's hit.
Hong-ku, brighten up. It's fine.
Yes, I'm fine.
NEXT TIME
First base, one out.
Batter nine, Ryu Hyun-in.
Ryu Hyun-in shows
a batting average of .429.
Let's go.
-Strike.
-First pitch, he misses the fastball.
We're still in the beginning,
but Byeon Geon-u mostly pitches fastballs.
SHAKES HEAD
NODS
Geon-u, let's go.
-Yes, nice foul.
-You can see the confidence.
Byeon Geon-u shook his head twice,
meaning he'll throw a four-seam.
Okay, go.
CHOONGAM 0 : 2 MONSTERS
It'll be great if he throws a slider here.
A FASTBALL?
A SLIDER?
-Strike.
-It's a necessary moment.
-Strike.
-He strikes him out.
-Good.
-Strikeout without a swing.
THAT'S IT
It would've been good
if he throws as he did.
From throwing fastballs,
he throws a high breaking ball.
It's in the strike zone. Strikeout.
BATTER 1, LEE TAEK-KEUN
-Okay.
-Lee Taek-keun's ground ball.
It passes the pitcher.
Third baseman catches.
First base. He catches. Great defense.
Cho Hyeon-min ends
the bottom of the second inning.
Nice throw.
They showed excellent defense
and ends the bottom of the second
without losing a point.
He has a crazy balance.
AMAZED
Once they get two strikes,
they're all experienced players,
so they know how to pitch.
It won't be easy
for you to hit after that.
So hit it when you see easy pitches. Okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
The top of the third inning.
Choongam High's batting.
First off, Choongam High must
turn things around.
They're the best high school
at changing the flow.
They're that persistent.
Batter nine, Kim Min-seok.
HE WHO ALWAYS DELIVERS
STRIKE
-Strike.
-Good!
Nice pitch!
Kim Min-seok is a second-year
in Choongam High.
-Nice pitch!
-He's in the second year,
but his batting speed is the highest.
I see.
KIM MIN-SEOK MUST TURN THINGS AROUND
SONG SEUNG-JUN MUST KEEP THINGS GOING
HOW WILL THIS MATCH END?
Choongam High finally learned
how to play against Song Seung-jun.
THE STARTING PITCHER,
SONG SEUNG-JUN, FACES A CRISIS
WE MUST CHASE AFTER THEM
HE HITS!
It brushes by the pitcher. He can't catch.
CHOONGAM HIGH BEGINS TO CHASE THEM
THEIR UNCEASING RUN
FOR VICTORY
He runs for home too. He runs for home.
And he's in.
CK MONSTERS ARE SHAKEN
THEY CANNOT BACK DOWN LIKE THIS
STRIKEOUT
Man.
Go back!
Hey, go back!
A DECISIVE BATTING CHANCE
The center fielder runs.
The center fielder.
HE CAUGHT IT! IT'S CAUGHT!
DEVASTATED
WILL THEY BREAK THEIR WINNING STREAK?
SAVE THE MONSTERS
Rhee Dae-eun is coming up.
He throws at 140km/h.
Rhee Dae-eun gets the mound
in the most difficult moment.
Subtitle translation by: Eun-sook Yoon
1ST ROUND IN GOCHEOK SKY DOME
-Go!
-Run!
THANKFULLY, THE MONSTERS STILL PLAY WELL
(SCORING 2 POINTS EASILY)
HE THROWS LIKE HE ISN'T RETIRED
A CLEAN DOUBLE-PLAY DEFENSE
It flies to the outfield.
A REFRESHING HOME RUN
(JAW-DROPPING)
WE ARE THE BEST!
(SIGHING)
THE MONSTERS TAKE THE FIRST VICTORY
THE 2ND MATCH WITH DUKSOO CONTINUES
WE'LL WIN NO MATTER WHAT
JANG WON-SAM IS THE STARTING PITCHER
IN THE 2ND MATCH
DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL
IS LOOKING TO REDEEM ITSELF
It bounces into foul territory.
LET'S KEEP GOING LIKE THIS!
BUT IT'S NOT EASY
TO JUMP OVER THE WALL OF THE MONSTERS
CK Monsters.
THEY DOMINATED
THE FLOW OF THE GAME COMPLETELY
AS EXPECTED, THEY'RE THE BEST
CK MONSTERS
MIXED FEELINGS…
THEY ENCOUNTERED
UNEXPECTED DIFFICULTIES
THE STARTING PITCHER
JANG WON-SAM IS INJURED
HE IS HAVING A HARD TIME WARMING UP
HOW WILL THIS GAME
PLAY OUT?
Timeout!
HE REQUESTS A TIMEOUT
-Manager Lee is coming up.
-Will he be switched?
These legendary players
haven't played for a while,
-so we were worried about this.
-That's right.
His elbow isn't doing well.
Can we have some time?
He needs to be substituted.
AN URGENT PITCHER SUBSTITUTION
Song Seung-jun is
warming up his shoulders.
SEUNG-JUN WARMS UP URGENTLY
SIGH…
BUT HE CAN'T LEAVE NOW
-Come up and…
-Yes.
You have to throw one.
-Yes.
-If he's injured, can the trainer come?
-Yes, please.
-Yes.
Mr. Oh.
All of a sudden?
Usually…
What usually happens?
Once he comes in, he has to throw.
-He must throw one?
-Yes.
You're up, so you have to throw one.
THAT'S A GIVEN
Jae-hyeong, you'll get on base!
WON-SAM'S CRISIS IS
DUKSOO HIGH'S OPPORTUNITY
He came over, so he has to throw one.
So?
-I'll just throw lightly.
-Throw lightly.
Let's just practice once more.
ONE MORE PRACTICE PITCH
-I'll throw like this.
-Don't overdo it.
DON'T OVERDO IT, OKAY!
He's going to pitch. Manager Lee leaves.
He has to throw for the first batter
-before he's subbed.
-Yes.
WON-SAM IS ON THE MOUND
WITH A BIT OF PRESSURE
Jang Won-sam has thrown 22 pitches
until the second inning.
He's up against batter eight,
Kim Jae-hyeong.
The first pitch. It's a ball.
IT'S MUCH WEAKER
BECAUSE OF HIS INJURY
I pitched for him to hit.
I wanted to throw as little as possible.
Gosh, this isn't good.
FEELING SYMPATHY
TROUBLED…
EVERY PITCH IS TROUBLESOME
-Second pitch.
-He can't pitch hard.
THEY FEEL BAD FOR HIM
Darn it. Come on.
HE'S MORE FRUSTRATED THAN ANYONE
Why does it suddenly hurt?
CHOKING UP
I hope it's not too much pressure for him.
HE MUSTERS HIS STRENGTH
Jang Won-sam is covered in sweat.
JUST ONCE MORE…
IT'S A HIT!
Hey!
It's a hit. A sharp hit.
The left fielder moves and catches.
Jang Won-sam pitches and makes
seven batters hit an easy fly in a row
including Kim Jae-hyeong.
I wanted to throw well
and show what I got.
BITTERSWEET
IT'S TIME TO STEP DOWN
-Good work.
-Good work. Are you okay?
I hope it gets better. I'm sorry.
-You got two innings.
-Yes, I'm sorry.
I'M SORRY…
I became irritated on the mound
when it started to hurt.
We didn't even have enough pitchers.
I had to throw many innings for them.
I felt bad for the other pitchers
who had to throw after me.
I was irritated at myself.
-Great job.
-Why does it suddenly hurt?
Why is it like this?
HE FEELS ENDLESSLY SORRY AND GUILTY
This is frustrating.
HE BEGINS TO BLAME HIMSELF
-This is irritating.
-Good work.
-It didn't hurt that much, right?
-No, it didn't.
I've never been in so much pain.
WILL HE BE ABLE TO DEFEND WELL?
Seung-jun.
-Don't overstrain yourself.
-Okay.
You'll throw for a while,
so maintain your condition.
What's the signal?
GOING ON THE MOUND
WITH A SENSE OF PRESSURE
The second pitcher,
Song Seung-jun is on the mound.
There are only four pitchers.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop
can't help but be anxious.
-He must have a lot on his mind.
-Of course.
Seung-jun has to pitch
at least four innings.
So I told him
not to use too much strength.
I told him to control his power.
-This is why we need a lot of pitchers.
-Exactly.
-We need six.
-We need six or seven.
DRINKING STRAIGHT FROM A CAN
This is so annoying.
I'M SO ANNOYED
WHAT AM I DOING…
What am I doing?
I was annoyed with myself.
I wanted to show them how good I was.
But I had to step down.
WON-SAM HAS TO CHEER FOR SEUNG-JUN
WITH MIXED FEELINGS
Why does it hurt all of a sudden?
Song Seung-jun is up against
batter nine, Baek Gye-ryeol.
Seung-jun has a lot on his shoulders.
The first pitch is a ball.
2 BALLS
Both balls missed
the strike zone by a lot.
After Won-sam stepped down,
I had to pitch
when I wasn't warmed up yet.
Anyway, if I step down
before the fifth inning,
there could be a problem.
So I felt a lot of pressure
thinking that I had to throw a long time.
I'M NOT WARMED UP YET,
BUT I MUST DEFEND MY TEAM
He hits the ball sharply.
The right fielder follows it.
THE BALL FLIES
TOWARD THE RIGHT FIELDER
DONG-WOOK, WE BELIEVE IN YOU
He hits the ball sharply.
The right fielder follows it.
The right fielder catches it!
NICE CATCH
2 OUTS
Seo Dong-wook fields the ball.
Now, it's two outs.
SUDDENLY HE LOWERS HIS HEAD
Dong-wook's leg isn't well.
-Look.
-Dong-wook's leg isn't well.
-Right.
-He's limping.
Actually, my leg wasn't feeling well
when I entered the field
in the first inning.
WHEN HE SCORED
IN THE TOP OF THE 1ST INNING
JEEZ
DONG-WOOK WAS IN PAIN
DURING BASE RUNNING
GROANING
COLLAPSE
Go play defense. If it keeps hurting,
-then we'll tape it.
-Yes.
Okay? To protect it.
You need to play defense.
We're short of players.
I had a spasm because I strained my leg.
(BRAIN SPASM)
WON-SAM'S ELBOW,
DONG-WOOK'S LEG, SEONG-HOON'S SIDE
We're in trouble.
What does Duksoo have to do now?
Starting with the first batter,
they have to get on base.
-Of course.
-The first batter
needs to make a three-base hit.
(YOU'RE THE 3-BASE HITTER…)
-Strike!
-A fastball at 135km/h.
(JEALOUS OF THE FORCE
AND THE PITCHING SPEED)
He threw lightly,
but it was still 135km/h.
He's like a buffalo.
The second pitch was at 138km/h.
It was 138km/h.
DID YOU SAY 138KM/H?
NICE
IT'S NICE, BUT…
Jeez.
CRITICAL
Eui-yoon! I'll stay close to Dong-wook.
OKAY!
IT'S GOOD TEAMWORK!
-Yong-taek.
-I'll have to play defense.
-If worst comes to worst,
-Yes.
-the pitchers will have to bat.
-Yes.
I think so.
We're five points ahead.
The pitchers will have to bat.
-But they--
-They have to. Forget about the line-up.
STERN
PLEASE DON'T HIT IT THIS WAY…
DONG-WOOK, DON'T WORRY
MONSTERS 6 : 1 DUKSOO
He swings and misses. A strikeout.
SEUNG-JUN FINISHES THE INNING NEATLY
Good job, Seung-jun.
Good job.
You're reliable.
THERE'S NO NEED
TO WORRY ABOUT SEUNG-JUN
BUT HE'S A PROBLEM…
This is really bad.
-Do you want a substitution?
-I'll do it until I can.
Do you want to?
I don't want your leg to get worse.
You have to play the next game.
-I tried to swallow the pain.
-Yes.
-That made it worse.
-Take a break.
-Don't run too much, okay?
-Okay.
-Jog only.
-Yes.
-Yong-taek, you have to play.
-Yes.
How will we play the field?
Can any of the outfielders pitch?
If one more player gets injured,
we can't play.
I had a lot on my mind. I was worried.
The top of the fourth inning will start.
The batters will want to score
as many points as they can.
-All you can think about is a called game.
-Yes.
A CALLED GAME IS THE ONLY ANSWER!
THE FIRST BATTER KEUN-WOO
IS AWARDED FIRST BASE
The batter walks. No outs.
Number two hitter Seo Dong-wook is at bat.
DONG-WOOK IS INJURED AND AT BAT…
Seo Dong-wook seems like he's hurting.
We'll see how he'll bat
as the second hitter.
-Yes.
-Yes.
-Strike!
-It's a breaking ball.
It's nice!
NICE PITCHING
Four balls and a two-base hit.
The previous two hits were perfect.
HE HITS!
It's a push hit!
It's another hit.
-Jeez.
-Again.
DONG-WOOK DID IT AGAIN!
IT'S YOU AGAIN…
Stop!
Jeong Keun-woo runs at full speed
as he checks.
He's running!
NO!
Jeong Keun-woo touches third base
and reaches home plate.
MONSTERS 7 : 1 DUKSOO
4 POINTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
A timely hit by Seo Dong-wook.
The Monsters score another point.
They're the best as usual.
HE CAN HIT EVEN WHEN HE'S INJURED
-He isn't a person.
-He can really hit.
Seo Dong-wook is such a great hitter.
-He hit it so well along the line.
-Yes.
He couldn't run fast though.
I don't think I can run to third base.
Don't hike your leg up when you run.
Dong-wook said his leg was really hurting.
But nobody could relieve him.
Today, I saw our team's state.
Give me a helmet.
WHY DOES HE NEED A HELMET…
A helmet.
TRYING IT ON
Will you be all right?
WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE…
Can you run? Are you all right?
Let's switch.
SWITCH?
NO WAY
Timeout.
I'LL
SWITCH WITH HIM
-It's Manager Lee Seung-yuop.
-Now,
Manager Lee Seung-yuop
is going in as a runner
for Dong-wook who hurt his leg.
NATIONAL HITTER
LEE SEUNG-YUOP IS A PINCH RUNNER?
I never thought he'd go on base.
PINCH RUNNER LEE SEUNG-YUOP…
What?
IS THIS FOR REAL?
I've never seen Lee Seung-yuop
as a pinch runner.
When he ran toward me,
at first, I thought
he was coming to check me.
-But he asked for my helmet.
-Give me your helmet.
-What's going on?
-There's no other choice.
-Thank you.
-Well done.
It's an unusual sight.
I wonder how many times
he played a pinch runner.
He was always the key player
and sometimes a pinch hitter.
I've never heard
of pinch runner Lee Seung-yuop.
HE'S ON BASE AS A PINCH RUNNER
It's a rare scene.
Managers want to protect their players.
He probably felt bad for Dong-wook
when he saw him running.
When I'm watching this show,
-I'm touched by it.
-Yes.
They really became one team.
For Dong-wook who injured his leg,
Manager Lee Seung-yuop put on a helmet
-and went on second base as a runner.
-It's true.
Hey, Dong-wook.
GOOD JOB, DONG-WOOK
DONG-WOOK DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY
I was serious.
Why did my leg
have to hurt at that moment?
I didn't want to miss out.
I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS OUT
LEE SEUNG-YUOP PINCH RUNNER
When your team faces a crisis,
someone has to step up somehow.
It's a natural process for team play.
THERE'S NO PLAYER
GREATER THAN THE TEAM
How will he affect today's game?
Yong-taek has to go on the outfield
and pitchers have to bat.
Do I have to bat?
Yes, we have to bat.
What's going on?
HE'S FORCED TO BAT…
-There are no designated hitters.
-What's going on?
Park Yong-taek.
THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO SCORE
AND WET TAEK IS AT BAT
HIT
He pulls.
Seung-yuop runs to third base.
Second baseman catches the ball.
First base runner is out.
1 OUT
-I bat for the team.
-Good.
-Batting for the team.
-Batting for the team.
Batting for the team.
It's a classy play.
(I DIDN'T ASK)
Park Yong-taek did a great job.
He hit a ground ball to second base.
Second base runner went on to third base.
He hit perfectly for the situation.
That's right.
HE DIDN'T FALL,
SO THE TACTIC WAS SUCCESSFUL
I'm crying. I almost fell.
What will you do if your legs give out?
Seriously, I almost fell.
It's one out. The runner is on third base.
It's Manager Jung Yoon-jin.
-Hyeon-u, was it a good experience?
-Yes.
How was it? Were you nervous?
I was in a hurry.
-It's okay. You did well.
-Thank you.
You can go in.
SUBSTITUTION
Duksoo will have Shim Jun-seok play.
He's back on the field.
It's Shim Jun-seok.
Do you want me to hit his pitch?
Why does he have to throw
when we're at bat?
This is wrong.
The major league
is paying attention to Shim Jun-seok.
-He's in.
-Yes.
AVERAGE PITCHING SPEED 150KM/H
THE FASTEST PITCH WAS 153KM/H
BUT JUN-SEOK WAS SUBSTITUTED EARLY
BECAUSE OF HIS POOR CONDITION
I think I let them score too easily.
I'll make up for my mistake.
I'll show the Monsters what I got
and rip them apart.
BAM!
-Jeez.
-I can't hit that.
His pitching speed is 147km/h
during the warm-up.
He threw 152km/h at me.
VICTIM OF THE FASTEST PITCH
He threw 152km/h at me.
-Was it very fast?
-It was like a bullet.
It's already seven to one.
They're six points behind.
-Right.
-They can't lose a point.
-So they're going strong.
-Yes.
MONSTERS 7 : 1 DUKSOO
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
MOVING
Jeez.
It's caught by a checked swing.
A slow hit. Second baseman catches it.
To first base. The runner is out.
The pinch runner
Lee Seung-yuop enters home plate.
CK Monsters scores another point.
It's eight to one.
3 POINTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Good job.
-It's a party.
-Nice, Seung-yuop.
We saw the national star
Lee Seung-yuop's first win
-and first score.
-Right.
What else do we need to see?
His first hit and home run.
-There are lots to see.
-Yes.
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
He misses the first ball.
THE PITCH IS STILL FORMIDABLE
ASTONISHED
-What?
-It's a bullet.
It is fast.
A fastball at 149km/h.
Lee Taek-keun is moving too slowly.
Yes.
He's still throwing at 149km/h easily.
FOUL
It's 151km/h.
THAT'S JUN-SEOK!
WE CAN'T LOSE!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
-Lee Taek-keun, hit!
HE HITS!
-Jeez.
-It's a slow hit.
Third baseman throws it to first base.
The runner is out on first base.
Three outs.
3 OUTS
NICE DEFENSE!
But CK Monsters scored two points.
It's eight to one.
The pinch runner is out.
Yes, I'm out.
Yong-taek is the left fielder.
Jung Eui-yoon is the right fielder.
-The pitcher will replace me.
-Okay.
PITCHER AND BATTER SONG SEUNG-JUN
HE'S PLAYING DEFENSE AFTER TWO GAMES
Let's end it in the seventh inning.
WE MIGHT BE FINISHED
IF WE DON'T END IT BY THE 7TH INNING
They won't call me to play, will they?
To pitch?
If they're short of pitchers,
you'll probably have to get ready.
You have to keep the ace until the end.
Okay.
It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
Lee Sun-woo is at bat.
SUN-WOO, NICE TO SEE YOU
He swings and misses.
Uncaught third strike. The ball
is thrown to first base. He's out.
One out.
NEXT BATTER IS JUNG-HWAN
STRIKE!
NICE BALL!
-He's like a rock.
-Song Sam-bong!
SONG ROCK, 43, ADAMANT
He misses.
Song Seung-jun's pitch.
He plays with the batter's timing.
Yes.
He got two strikes with two pitches.
Swing with confidence.
(BE CONFIDENT!)
EVERYONE HAS A PLAN
He misses. It's a strikeout.
Nice!
He strikes out three batters in a row.
A high schooler's 137km/h pitch
and our 137km/h pitch are different.
Defense for an hour
and offense for three minutes.
-Strike!
-The first pitch is a strike.
One more thing.
It's as if he's saying,
"I'll pitch as long as I can
for Won-sam."
The players are looking out
for each other.
He swings and misses. Two strikes.
-Seung-jun's every pitch is a strike.
-Yes.
He's pitching a lot of strikes
because he's trying to throw less.
He threw only eight pitches
at the bottom of the third inning.
It's flying high.
HONG-KU FOLLOWS THE BALL
-He follows it.
-Hong-ku, go in!
He can't catch it.
No high schooler can hit stronger
than Baek Jun-seo.
Seung-jun throws it right away.
The previous batter was struck out.
What about this one?
-Strike!
-Another strikeout!
HE RIPPED THE BOTTOM
OF THE 4TH INNING!
It's KKK!
None of the batters could beat Seung-jun.
You killed it!
Go back to Lotte.
-Nice!
-Jeez.
-Nice.
-You still have it.
Don't throw breaking balls.
Jeez.
Outfielders, keep it up!
Three more points to a called game.
LET'S SCORE 3 POINTS
AND END THE GAME
Everyone's unwell, so just three points.
It's the fifth inning.
Lee Hong-ku will bat first.
TOP OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
Hong-ku is doing so well that
he's making us forget the previous game.
Two at bat and two hits.
STRIKE
THAT WAS FAST…
-It was 149km/h.
-He couldn't hit it.
His swing was too slow.
-Jeez.
-A ground ball.
This happens to batters.
-When they're in a bad condition,
-Yes.
the pitcher suddenly throws well.
It's really interesting.
Shim Jun-seok threw
a breaking ball all of a sudden.
ACQUIRED LEE HONG-KU BUFF
149KM/H FASTBALL
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
WE NEED TO SCORE 3 POINTS…
NEXT BATTER HYUN-IN
Left fielder moves and catches the ball.
Two outs.
JUN-HO TRIES TO STEAL A BASE
The ball is thrown to second base.
-He's tagged out on second base.
-Out!
He failed to steal a base.
Still seven points ahead.
It's the bottom of the fifth inning.
-Let's go.
-Defense.
THE TOP OF THE 5TH INNING ENDED
LET'S GO, DUKSOO!
-Duksoo!
-Duksoo!
LET'S CATCH UP IN THE BOTTOM
OF THE 5TH INNING!
-Let's go!
-Duksoo!
It's the bottom of the fifth inning.
Duksoo is at bat.
Song Seung-jun is back on the mound.
This is Seung-jun's third inning.
He probably has less power.
Duksoo has to keep it up.
-That's right.
-Yes.
I'M TIRED AFTER THROWING 21 PITCHES…
-Go!
-Go!
It skips off the bat and flies high.
-Okay!
-Outfield!
WHO IS THE 1ST BASEMAN?
It's foul ground. He follows it.
First baseman Lee Hong-ku catches it.
I can't see it.
He's a good first baseman.
He needs to change position.
FINALLY FOUND(?) HIS MAIN POSITION
Lee Jun-seo is at bat.
Song Seung-jun's most famous nickname
is Song Sam-bong.
A pitcher is credited a shutout
if he pitches the entire game
and doesn't lose any score.
Seung-jun did that three times in a row.
He's really amazing.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
-Good!
-Nice!
You killed it!
SEUNG-JUN IS THE BEST
Speed isn't everything
when it comes to baseball.
He steals the batters' timing.
-Yes.
-Yes.
He's really pitching.
He's pitching, not just throwing.
Yes.
Kim Hyeon-tae is at bat.
NEXT BATTER IS KIM HYEON-TAE
He swings and misses.
The batters can't hit his splitters.
What will happen next?
Seung-jun will throw a four-seam fastball.
Watch.
WILL SEUNG-JUN THROW
A FOUR-SEAM FASTBALL?
SEUNG-JUN, PLEASE THROW A FOUR-SEAM…
SPLITTER…
He hits. The ball flies high.
-Run!
-Run!
RUNNING WITH SHORT STRIDES
-That's it.
-Jeong Keun-woo takes care of it.
Three consecutive strikeouts.
Song Seung-jun struck out
three batters and ended the inning.
I was wrong.
INJURED PRIDE
Please edit it out.
-It was toward the body though.
-Still…
Editors, please…
Please edit the last part out.
TOP OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
DANCING
KYEONG-BEEN, KEUN-WOO,
THEN SEUNG-JUN
-Do you want the elbow guard?
-Yes.
-Batting gloves too.
-Okay.
How do I wear this? I forgot.
How do I wear this?
STRUGGLING
-Are you going to hit it?
-How? I can't hit that.
How can I hit his pitch?
Don't be greedy. Take it easy.
THE PITCHER JUST HAD TO BE SHIM JUN-SEOK…
He often throws toward the body.
He does. Stand afar.
If he hits me, I might kill him.
I'M DEAD SERIOUS
He's swinging.
HE'S JUST PRACTICING HIS SWING…
-Don't do it. Don't swing.
-He's practicing.
Songtani.
It's the top of the sixth inning.
Shortstop Han Kyeong-been
is the first batter.
The score is eight to one.
CK Monsters are seven points ahead.
But I can assure you
that the Monsters are facing a crisis.
Why?
Jeong Seong-hoon
was injured before the game.
Jang Won-sam injured his elbow.
Seo Dong-wook injured his thigh.
A lot of the players are injured.
CK Monsters don't have any backups,
so it's a crisis.
Right. That's why
they need to score three points.
Let's get three points!
KYEONG-BEEN GETS ON BASE
AFTER FOUR BALLS
-Good.
-Good!
Number one batter
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
-Seung-jun, you're next.
-What?
Next.
Put a helmet on and get ready.
Gosh, he's scary.
Song Seung-jun is getting ready to bat.
Number two batter is a pitcher.
How am I going to hit his pitch?
Seung-jun and I
played for Montreal before.
We practiced batting.
You have to bat in Triple-A.
But he isn't as good as me,
so don't expect too much from him.
MR. SONG SAM-BONG
I'LL MAKE YOU REMEMBER THE STATES!
-He's good.
-How can I hit that?
FOUL
It's a foul. It's a fastball at 147km/h.
Jeong Keun-woo is hitting his back.
Because we're the exclusive commentators,
every time we see that,
-we get worried.
-I'm very worried.
(NERVOUS)
Duksoo must not let them score.
The Monsters must score three points.
-Yes.
-That's right.
SURPRISED
It flew toward the head.
HE'S WORRIED, BUT HE REACHES BASE
Did it hit you?
FORTUNATELY, NO
THE NEXT BATTER IS INTIMIDATED…
Seung-jun is nervous.
I need to wear it.
HE WEARS EXTRA GUARDS IN A HURRY
SEUNG-JUN IS REALLY READY TO BAT
Runner is on second base.
KEUN-WOO HAS ANOTHER CHANCE
IF HE CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM,
WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
Shim Jun-seok struck out Jeong Keun-woo.
Now, it's Song Seung-jun's turn to bat.
He's like Ohtani.
Let's go! Song Seung-jun!
SONGTANI, LET'S GO!
TIME!
-They're changing.
-That's good.
This is it for Shim Jun-seok.
The pitcher is substituted
before Song Seung-jun bats.
-It's good.
-That's good.
WE'RE GLAD
I got scared.
Seriously, I was scared to death.
Pitcher Im Jeong-hun is on the mound.
He's the fourth pitcher of Duksoo.
Duksoo is having an all-out war today.
SWINGING
I'm looking forward
to Seung-jun's batting.
Yes.
He looks like a monster hitter.
It looks like he'll hit a big one.
HE HITS!
He hits!
It's a hit.
LEFT FIELDER!
He hits! The ball flies high to the left.
The center fielder.
The left fielder catches it.
-He hit the first pitch.
-He's good at batting.
SONGTANI HIT THE FIRST PITCH!
I TRIED MY BEST, BUT I LOST!
Nice try!
-Baseball genius.
-Songtani.
Baseball genius.
RESPECT
You hit it though.
The ball came too slow.
He swung too fast.
It could've been a good hit
if Shim Jun-seok pitched.
I should've swung a little later. Too bad.
It was close.
-He reminds me of a fastball pitcher.
-Yes.
-He's out!
-He got caught!
2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE
BATTER PARK YONG-TAEK
WHAT DO PARK YONG-TAEK
AND 2 OUTS MEAN?
-He's out!
-He got caught!
CHECKING 2ND BASE,
RUNNER IS TAGGED OUT
Three outs.
Han Kyeong-been is tagged out.
The inning is over.
CK Monsters couldn't score
in the top of the sixth inning.
Good job.
GOOD JOB!
Duksoo is so organized.
-They were perfect.
-It means they practice a lot.
(MOVING)
TURNING!
THE PITCHER AND SHORTSTOP
REACTED INSTANTLY
It's the bottom of the sixth inning.
Seung-jun is back on the mound.
It's like this.
There was a base running mistake
in the previous inning.
So Duksoo made momentum.
Duksoo is focused
on scoring points for four innings.
HE HITS!
The ball passes
the third baseman and shortstop.
Kim Jae-hyeong hit.
-Kim Jae-hyeong!
-Let's go!
NICE KIM JAE-HYEONG
When you look at the scoreboard,
there's one point
and only two hits.
The first batter in the first inning
and Kim Jae-hyeong in the sixth.
Only two batters hit.
Song Seung-jun did a great job of pitching
for many innings.
It's time to substitute Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Manager Lee must be thinking about it.
-Yes.
You have to pitch
for the eighth and ninth innings.
Seung-jun threw 35 pitches.
-I'll standby in the seventh inning.
-Yes.
-Start warming up.
-Yes.
-You might have to go sooner.
-Yes.
-You won't pitch today.
-Okay.
The season is long.
There are 28 games left.
Pinch hitter Kim Tae-hyeong is at bat.
BALL
-The ball is high.
-That scared me.
When the ball starts to float,
-Yoo Hee-kwan has to--
-He has to get ready quickly.
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
ANOTHER BALL!
He swings.
SEUNG-JUN SEEMS TO BE FALTERING
Yoon Jun-ho is good at blocking.
-Yes, he's a fascinating catcher.
-Yes.
He's speedy.
-Yes.
-He's very fast at blocking.
HE CHECKS THE RUNNER QUICKLY!
CALM
-Good job.
-Good job, Jun-ho!
STRIKE
Nice.
He's framing the baseball.
His glove doesn't move.
He's framing to make a ball
look like a strike.
LEE HONG-KU, CHIEF CATCHER
(HE'S PRETTY GOOD…)
Lee Hong-ku is on first base.
LEE HONG-KU, 1ST BASEMAN
(HE'S PRETTY GOOD…)
MR. HONG-KU
I'M PRETTY GOOD TOO!
The runner starts to run.
AFTER A NICE BLOCKING
Okay!
GOOD JOB STEALING BASE!
Nice!
Base-stealing catcher!
I'M A CATCHER STEALING BASE!
Duksoo has to move actively.
They did a great job.
Kim Jae-hyeong reached second base.
It's a crucial moment.
He isn't getting any out counts.
Song Seung-jun.
Run!
RUNNING
Shortstop catches it. First base.
A perfect throw. One out.
-Hey.
-Okay. Good.
Good job.
Kim Jae-hyeong reaches third base.
If you don't get to home base,
it'll be a called game.
Whether it's a single or a double,
come in. Stay alert.
Two more steps.
Second baseman Lee Seung-won is at bat.
He was the only one who had a hit
before the fifth inning.
Stop him.
HIT!
He hits!
WHY DID HE HIT LIKE THAT…
-First base.
-It's going.
Lee Hong-ku catches it.
I GUESS I'M SUITED FOR 1ST BASE
Seung-won, why were you in a hurry?
WHY DID YOU HIT THE FIRST PITCH…
If it's a fastball, run.
RUN IF IT'S A FASTBALL
Pinch hitter Woo Jeong-an is at bat.
He has to hit the ball
and make it fall slightly at all costs.
But Song Seung-jun, the pitcher
with 100 wins, is on the mound.
-It's toward the body.
-It's like this.
That pitch was a setup.
He did it on purpose.
He did it to throw a splitter.
You're saying that
it was the groundwork for the next pitch.
-It's high.
-It's another four-seam.
-It's high.
-It's another four-seam.
I'm making a lot of mistakes today.
I'm sorry.
He threw a fastball.
-Let's just watch.
-Yes.
Maybe he'll throw a splitter this time.
(THAT'S ENOUGH)
-Okay.
-He swings. It's two and two.
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
Good throw! Nice!
Pitcher Song Seung-jun
with 109 winning games
may lose a point to Duksoo High School.
Runner on third base. Only one out left.
Everyone's eyes
are on Song Seung-jun's shoulders.
Get ready!
HE THREW!
-Toward the body. He caught it.
-He wasn't fooled by that?
GOOD BATTING EYE
Really good eye.
That was a really good one.
It's a full count.
All counts are lit up.
-One more!
-Twenty-seven meters.
A runner on third base
is in scoring position.
The best pitcher
versus the best high school team.
WHO WILL BE THE WINNER?
Toward the body.
It was precise. Strikeout.
THE BEST PITCHER SONG SEUNG-JUN WINS
HE'S THE REAL THING
Jeez.
Jeez.
Toward the body.
It was precise. Strikeout.
Duksoo can't beat Song Seung-jun yet.
-His pitch astonishes everyone.
-Jeez.
-Nice ball.
-He's still Song Sam-bong.
Jeez, you're amazing.
You should make a comeback.
You're my hero.
RETURNING IN GLORY
Jeez, I'm tired.
I'M TIRED
I'm super tired.
Goodness.
They need to score
to make it a called game.
TOP OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 8 : 1 DUKSOO
It's the top of the seventh inning.
3 POINTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
THE MONSTERS HAVEN'T HAD A HIT
IN 10 AT-BATS
MUST SCORE 3 POINTS IN THE 7TH INNING
The first batter Park Yong-taek is at bat.
Yong-taek!
Three points!
We need to score!
We came to a state of pause.
I had to go on base.
PARK YONG-TAEK, WET TAEK
TO STOP A CALLED GAME
LEFT-HANDED PITCHER
WITH TOP BALL CONTROL, IM JEONG-HUN
STRIKE
A good pitch.
JEONG-HUN PITCHES
A STRIKE COMFORTABLY
It's a ball.
We had to finish the game
in the seventh inning no matter what.
Whether I hit the ball or get hit by it,
I decided to get on base at all costs.
I MUST REVIVE THE SPARK
HE HITS!
He pushed.
Third baseman catches it.
He turns and throws it to first base.
First baseman catches it.
1 OUT
YONG-TAEK FAILS TO GO ON BASE
Third baseman Park Sang-heon
showed good defense.
Park Yong-taek is out
due to a ground ball.
NO HITS IN 11 AT-BATS
-No, we have to score three points.
-We have to score.
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
DUKSOO SUDDENLY CALLS FOR A TIMEOUT
-I can stop them.
-We have a match with Choongam.
-I threw less than ten.
-I know. It's for Choongam.
A SUBSTITUTION AFTER TWO BATTERS?
Duksoo's pitchers change again.
ALREADY?
Why?
Lee Ji-hwan is on the mound.
He took the mound in the first match.
Last time, he pitched for five batters
and didn't lose any points.
JI-HWAN GOT EUI-YOON WITH A FLY BALL
THEY'RE FACING
EACH OTHER AGAIN AFTER A WEEK
The players were facing
a difficult situation.
So I was determined
to hit or to go on base.
He hits a breaking ball.
Toward the shortstop.
He throws it hard to first baseman.
Two outs.
EUI-YOON, INFIELD, GROUND BALL
2 OUTS
THE FOURTH HITTER'S PAINFUL SILENCE
-We'll play the eighth inning.
-A called game isn't easy.
A SERIES OF SMALL AND BIG INJURIES
TO MAKE THINGS WORSE
-Does it hurt?
-No.
SEUNG-JUN'S ELBOW IS HURTING
I felt sorry.
Because ending the game
in the seventh inning
would protect the pitchers.
Now it's Lee Taek-keun.
TAEK-KEUN IS THE ONLY ONE TO TRUST
There are more players on the team
who are injured than not.
I felt the pressure to hit
because there weren't enough players.
CAN TAEK-KEUN GO ON BASE?
FOUL
It hit the end of the bat.
THE MONSTERS CAN'T GET
THE RIGHT TIMING
(TAEK-KEUN, LET'S HIT ONE…)
You'll hit it.
-Strike.
-Outside.
Good pitch!
Outside. Low pitch.
SHARP STRIKE
ONE STRIKE LEFT
TAEK-KEUN, PLEASE…
A CALLED GAME IS FADING AWAY
SIGHING
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
Two strikes. It's an unfavorable count.
Lee Taek-keun!

THE AUDIENCE IS CHEERING HIM

WILL TAEK-KEUN GRANT
THE AUDIENCE'S WISH?
Lee Taek-keun!
-Hit it!
-Hit it!
WILL A CALLED GAME GO UP IN SMOKE?
BALL
He threw a killing pitch,
-but Lee Taek-keun had a good eye.
-Yes.
SIGHING
CK Monsters' fifth batter Lee Taek-keun.
HE HITS!
He hits the ball! It's flying high.
He hits the ball! It's flying high.
It goes behind the left fielder.
The ball hits the fence and falls.
FINALLY HE GETS ON BASE
Lee Taek-keun goes on second base.
Finally, he hits a double hit today.
HE FINALLY HIT AFTER 13 AT-BATS
TAEK-KEUN'S FIRST HIT OF THE DAY
TRUSTWORTHY TAEK-KEUN
The pitcher needed a strike.
-But he hit the ball.
-Yes.
LEE TAEK-KEUN IS ON 2ND BASE
AND IN A SCORING POSITION
LEE HONG-KU 2 HITS 3 AT-BATS
-Let's go, Hong-ku.
-Hong-ku!
EXPECTATIONS GO UP
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
BALL
GOOD EYE!
It falls low.
AFTER A HIT, JI-HWAN IS FALTERING
It's okay.
THE BALL COUNT IS
UNFAVORABLE TO JI-HWAN
HONG-KU IS IN HIS BEST CONDITION
-What?
-Go!
2ND BASE RUNNER TAEK-KEUN DIDN'T RUN
-Taek-keun didn't move.
-He didn't run
because of the score of eight to one.
Right.
With two outs,
he can't score from a sacrifice hit
even if he's on third base.
-Right.
-Yes.
THE BALL COUNT IS
ABSOLUTELY FAVORABLE
BATTING COUNT!
-Come on, Hong-ku.
-Here it comes.
WE DESPERATELY NEED A HIT
-Let's go.
-Go.
I'LL HIT NO MATTER WHAT!
Lee Hong-ku.
FOUR BALLS
It comes in low. Four balls.
He goes on first base.
You did it!
I thought he'd throw a fastball,
but he didn't.
When Taek-keun goes in, you go in too.
Okay.
2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST, 2ND BASES
CK Monsters want to end the game
in the seventh inning.
WE SEE HOPE
The CK Monsters'
three young guns are up next.
THE 3 YOUNGEST CK MONSTERS
YOON JUN-HO, RYU HYUN-IN,
HAN KYEONG-BEEN
Ryu Hyun-in will be at bat.
He has to hit. This is a great chance.
-If he hits, he'll be the MVP.
-Hyun-in, hit a home run.
AFTER 2 OUTS, 2 BATTERS WENT ON BASE
THEY NEED A HIT DESPERATELY
We got the momentum,
so I thought it was doable.
HYUN-IN, PLEASE HIT ONE!
He pushes. It's a foul ball.
FOUL
SIGHING
The young guns know
that they need to score quickly.
They probably want to do something
because everyone else is injured.
They want to solve the problem.
They probably want
to make it easier for them.
-That's right.
-Yes.
It falls low.
BALL
1 BALL 1 STRIKE
Ryu Hyun-in, hit it!
-Second base.
-It didn't work.
THE CATCHER GAVE A SIGN
THE BASE IS EMPTY?
-It didn't work.
-It didn't come in.
THE BALL ROLLS TO THE CENTER FIELDER
-Go!
-Go!
It didn't come in.
The runners can move one more base.
HONG-KU GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND BASE
The pitcher read the catcher's sign.
But the shortstop
and second baseman didn't.
Then, with one hit,
they can score two points.
CK Monsters need only three points.
Yes. They're in scoring positions.
There are two runners
on second and third bases.
Hyun-in, let's go!
THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO SCORE
With one hit, they can score two points.
Third baseman Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
DUKSOO IS FACED WITH THE WORST CRISIS
The senior players were having a hard time
because of the injuries,
so I thought I had to hit.
HE HITS!
He won't let them have it easy!
It's a hit inside the line.
RELIABLE RYU HYUN-IN!
DON'T LOOK BACK AND RUN
Yes!
RYU HYUN-IN IS THE FUTURE
3RD BASE RUNNER TAEK-KEUN
HOME IN
THE FAIR BALL ROLLS
ALL THE WAY TO THE FENCE
Third and second-base runners
can all come in.
2ND BASE RUNNER HONG-KU IS IN TOO
MONSTERS 10 : 1 DUKSOO
-Good job.
-Okay.
-Hyun-in!
-Yes!
-The batter reaches second base.
-Yes!
Ryu Hyun-in's two-run hit.
PROUD OF THE YOUNGEST PLAYER
-Good!
-Hyun-in!
THAT'S MY BOY
Jeez.
MIXED FEELINGS
Jun-ho and Kyeong-been will end the game.
It's ten to one.
Only one point left.
The runner is in a scoring position.
RYU HYUN-IN ON 2ND BASE
IS IN A SCORING POSITION
He's one of the three young guns.
Catcher Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.
Today, he showed a great play.
CATCHER HAS
THE MOST INVISIBLE POSITION
HE SUPPORTS THE PITCHERS QUIETLY
HE CHEERS THE TEAM UP
HE'S THE HIDDEN CONTRIBUTOR
WHO LET DUKSOO SCORE ONLY 1 POINT
THE MONSTERS' DREAM CATCHER
YOON JUN-HO
NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE OFF
THE CATCHER'S MASK AND BAT
He's in a scoring position.
He needs to concentrate.
BATTER YOON JUN-HO
I don't think
I had a chance to show myself off.
The senior players were injured
and they were in bad conditions.
I thought I should finish the game
as the youngest player.
CK Monsters are desperate for one point.
It's high.
Please. Let me score
to make it a called game.
I'll end it no matter what.
HYUN-IN IS READY TO RUN ANYTIME
WITH ONE HIT,
HE CAN MAKE A CALLED GAME
WILL HE MAKE A CALLED GAME?
OR WILL HE STOP A CALLED GAME?
WHICH WAY
WILL
JUN-HO'S BALL GO?
He hits! Left and center fielders.
It drops perfectly.
THE INJURED PLAYER IS RELIEVED
That's it!
ANOTHER INJURED PLAYER IS RELIEVED
MOM, I DID IT!
He scores one point they needed!
RUNNING HOME
MONSTERS 11 : 1 DUKSOO
The three young guns.
Ryu Hyun-in and Yoon Jun-ho
finally made the ten-point gap.
YOON JUN-HO IS TODAY'S BEST PLAYER
JUN-HO IS THE BEST
-Good job!
-Nice!
-You did it.
-Nice.
-We did it.
-Good hit.
Now, CK Monsters
can finish the game in the seventh inning.
Yoon Jun-ho's hit
was a really great one.
THE BALL CUT ACROSS
THE LEFT AND CENTER FIELDERS
I'M THE BEST TODAY
Pull him down. Next pitcher.
DUKSOO CHANGES PITCHERS
Pitcher substitution.
Closer Lee Ye-hak is going on the mound.
One point to a called game.
He has to stop them by all means.
Yes.
Now, Han Kyeong-been is at bat.
YOUNG GUN HAN KYEONG-BEEN IS AT BAT
Kyeong-been, let's go!
-One more!
-Yes, you have to hit.
LINE DRIVE!
2ND BASE RUNNER YOON JUN-HO
Han Kyeong-been
will have Duksoo's closer Lee Ye-hak.
What will Han Kyeong-been be like?
The ball bounces outward! To third base.
The runner Yoon Jun-ho reaches third base.
Score one more point!
Come in, Kyeong-been!
ANOTHER CHANCE TO SCORE
IT'S THE OLDEST YOUNG GUN
KYEONG-BEEN'S CHANCE TO SCORE
FOUL
He hits. It flies high. It's foul.
Han Kyeong-been is nervous
because Ryu Hyun-in and Yoon Jun-ho hit.
Right.
He'll want to show them too.

It's a strike!

-Jeez.
GOODNESS…
GOOD JOB, LEE YE-HAK
A strikeout without a swing.
The seventh inning is over.
CK Monsters managed
to make the ten-point gap.
Will they be able to guard that score?
-One inning.
-Let's go!
Let's go.
LET'S GO AND DEFEND
Play like Duksoo. Okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Okay! Go!
It's the bottom of the seventh inning.

We have a lot of injured players,
so I will do my best
to stop them from hitting.
I came into the mound to defend the inning
with three pitches.
It's 11 to 1. A 10-point difference.
To make a called game happen,
Yoo Hee-kwan must not allow a single run.
For CK Monsters,
they must finish the game
in this seventh inning.
That's right.
HE'S ANXIOUS
THREE OUTS LEFT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Jung-hwan is the first batter.
JU JUNG-HWAN, SHORTSTOP
WON BONGHWANGDAEGI MVP
THE ACE PLAYER OF DUKSOO
CAN'T ALLOW THE FIRST BATTER
TO GET ON BASE NO MATTER WHAT
He hits a breaking ball.
HITS THE FIRST PITCH
It's a fly ball.
It goes behind the left fielder.
It goes to Park Yong-taek.
He catches the ball.
HE LAUGHS
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN
NICE CATCH
-Yes!
-Nice!
JUNG-HWAN IS OUT
AFTER HIS FAILED STRATEGY
2 MORE OUTS UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Baek Jun-seo is up now.
BAEK JUN-SEO, THE 4TH HITTER
There's one out with no runner.
Two more outs are needed for Hee-kwan.
I CANNOT ALLOW A SINGLE BASE
STRIKE
-Strike!
-Goes into the zone.
HE'S AMAZED AT THE PITCH
-Nice pitch!
-Nice!
GOD DIDN'T GIVE ME SPEED,
BUT HE GAVE ME COMMAND, BY HEE-KWAN
THE BALL HITS!
It's a ground ball. Shortstop gets it.
He throws it to first base! And it's out!
Two outs!
NICE DEFENSE!
THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME IS OURS
One more out left.
1 MORE OUT UNTIL A CALLED GAME
Hey. Go on the mound.
THE GAME ISN'T OVER YET
LET'S GO DUKSOO
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING WITH 2 OUTS
THE 5TH BATTER,
PARK SANG-HEON IS AT BAT
Just one more out left.
IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER
Hee-kwan is against Sang-heon.
THE VERY LAST OUT
BEFORE IT'S A CALLED GAME
THE FIRST HIT GOES OVER
THE FOUL TERRITORY
STRIKE
CONTROL AND COMMAND
EQUALS YOO HEE-KWAN
Manager Jung, who was determined
to win the game.
The expressions of both managers
are very different.
It's out of the zone.
HE MANAGED TO HOLD HIS SWING
WITH ALL HIS MIGHT
SANG-HEON'S WILL TO GET ON A BASE
HE'S SURPRISED SANG-HEON HELD BACK
Try your best!
URGING HIM TO TRY HIS BEST
UNTIL THE END
A BREATHTAKING TENSION
The count is one and two.
He pitches it near the batter's body!
WIN BY CALLED GAME
Strikeout! The game ends here!
The game is called due to mercy rule,
like CK Monster wished for.
They make this possible in two games!
Nice pitch, Hee-kwan.
A PERFECT FINISH BY HEE-KWAN
Well played!
THE YOUNGEST PLAYER IS HAPPY
Well played, guys.
-Well done!
-Well played!
-We did it!
-Yes!
Good job.
Nice job.
-You're going to make a clean sweep.
-Thank you.
-You will.
-I truly hope you win next time.
Thank you.
Well done. Nice game.
-Good job, guys.
-Well played.
HIGH FIVE
WITH ALL THE DUKSOO PLAYERS
Well done, guys.
SWEEPS TWO GAMES AGAINST DUKSOO
Good job.
THE LAST PIECE OF MEMORY
WITH THE DUKSOO ATHLETES
BOUGHT THIS WITH OUR MONEY
(WE WELCOME SPONSORS)
-What's your name?
-Kim Hyeon-tae.
-Hyeon-tae?
-Yes.
-Tae?
-Yes.
TO HYEON-TAE
Seung-won, you can do this!
Don't be sick, stay healthy,
and choose well.
Never give up.
Shouldn't I get their autographs?
They'll become famous.
I believe I'm privileged
because not everyone can play
against them.
Although they're retired,
they showed persistent plays
despite their age,
and they kept the rules and manners
while playing the game.
They are the things I learned
and will practice
when I become a pro athlete.
MANAGER JUNG LOOKS RELIEVED
AFTER THE GAME
I really think
they're going to make a clean sweep.
They've been retired for a while.
So I thought it was going to be
a close match with my team.
I think they showed a good example
to the young athletes
with their passionate attitude and plays.
It was a precious opportunity
that the Duksoo players will never forget.
Thank you. You've done well.
It was very difficult.
Seo Dong-wook and Jang Won-sam
probably had issues with their injury.
I thought really hard
to play the game out well.
A VALUABLE VICTORY
THROUGH COOPERATION
When managers do interviews,
they always say,
"This is thanks to the athletes."
Now I understand why.
CK MONSTERS 11 : 1 DUKSOO
As expected, Hong-ku.
THE GAME FINALLY ENDS
-The MVP is Hong-ku today.
-That's not true.
-Walk in proudly since we won.
-Yes, we did!
Let's applaud ourselves!
SELF-APPLAUDING
WE DID A GOOD JOB TODAY
They aren't even happy about our win.
It's like they expected this.
-Goodness.
-Nice job running for me
In your second game,
you got a victory by mercy rule.
-Nice!
-Nice job!
We did it!
CONGRATULATIONS
ON CK MONSTERS' VICTORY
We didn't expect this to happen.
They changed after the first game.
This is what you call a pro.
HE'S SUDDENLY SO ARROGANT
-Yes. This is a pro.
-Indeed.
Totally.
We did win,
but there were dangerous situations.
WHEN THERE'S LIGHT,
THERE'S ALWAYS A SHADOW
Dong-wook. Why did you suddenly…
I'm not sure. I think I overdid it.
I think I have a sore muscle.
HOW HARD WERE YOU TRYING?
-You tried too hard shooting the teaser.
-That's true.
YOU TRIED HARD SHOOTING THE TEASER
THAT'S TRUE
TEASER SHOOTING HAPPENED
THE DAY BEFORE
I can't run anymore.
We're done, right?
It's because of that.
-The teaser?
-Yes.
-They made me sprint.
-Someone else was injured.
Won-sam was injured.
I've never been injured when I was a pro.
This never happened to me.
I'll be fine in a week.
-I see.
-You don't have to worry so much.
-He's overreacting.
-No one's worried about you.
DON'T WORRY
NO ONE IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU
-He's worried that he'd get kicked out.
-Goodbye, then.
WHATEVER, I'LL JUST KICK YOU OUT
There are lots of pitchers
from Major League.
Well played, everyone.
I'll announce the MVP for today's game.
Manager Jung, Manager Lee,
and the commentators
chose only one player.
A UNANIMOUS VOTE ON A SINGLE PERSON
A unanimous vote.
Game Two between Duksoo and CK Monsters.
THE SECOND MATCH!
The MVP today is…
A HIT THAT LEADS TO MERCY RULE!
IS IT ACE JUN-HO?
A SUDDEN APPEARANCE!
IS IT SEUNG-JUN WHO PITCHED WELL?
IT'S UNPREDICTABLE
The MVP is…
Songtani!
It's Song Seung-jun!
THE ONLY MVP OF GAME 2 WITH DUKSOO
SONG SEUNG-JUN
They acted like you weren't the MVP.
-Song Seung-jun!
-Song Seung-jun!
CALL OUT HIS NAME, SONG SEUNG-JUN!
Hee-kwan! Well played today.
HEE-KWAN JUST PLAYED WELL TODAY
Manager Lee, please grant
this award to the MVP.
THE AWARD IS GIVEN BY THE MANAGER!
MORE REWARDS TODAY
FOR THE ONE AND ONLY MVP
-There's a doll.
-A doll?
THE MVP MEDAL
IS FINALLY AROUND HIS NECK!
It's a bit heavy.
-You put this on.
-Okay.
-The doll is cute.
-There's a doll?
A DOLL THAT LOOKS LIKE SEUNG-JUN
SEUNG-JUN JUNIOR
Please come here and say a word.
If Won-sam pitched
until the fifth or the sixth inning,
it would've been the best.
I think that Won-sam will be
the MVP next time.
I'm only receiving this on his behalf.
And I want to be
the MVP just five more times.
HIS HUMBLENESS WAS A FAKE
You're good at faking.
Congratulations.
5 TIMES? I WANT TO BE THE MVP
AT LEAST ONCE
HIS SPEECH MADE PEOPLE SMILE
All right.
I'll reveal the next stage right now.
I'm so curious.
THEY'RE CURIOUS
-Who could it be?
-If you look…
You edit the videos so the opponents
seem like the world's best.
That's so true.
The video makes you afraid.
MAXIMUM PRESSURE
-They're good.
-It's Choongam High School.
IT'S CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL!
Analyze quickly. Look at their pitches.
My ERA is 1,78 on 76 innings.
With 95 strikeouts.
My batting average
at a junior high competition was .700.
He's like Park Yong-taek.
I know. There's another .700 batter.
IS BEING A .700 BATTER A TREND?
I'm confident I won't allow a run.
Losing doesn't feel good.
I think we'll be able to beat them.
GULP…
-They're good.
-Choongam.
-I think they play with more strategy.
-Really?
-Duksoo is…
-They strategize more than Duksoo.
Choongam players use their brains a lot.
They're really fast.
They're pretty loud.
CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL
-They don't seem easy.
-Now the players.
TIME TO MEET THE ACE PLAYERS
Yoon Yeong-cheol, the left-handed ace.

THEY THINK CHOONGAM IS BETTER

POWERFUL SWING
STABLE BLOCKING
CHOONGAM'S CAPTAIN
-Go!
-Go!
Let's go!
-They're cool.
-How do you feel?
-Well. It was fun.
-It was.
THEY'RE LUKEWARM
-It's easy.
-Just skip the video.
Everyone is relaxed now.
-They're different.
-They're more confident.
HOW THEY FELT 2 WEEKS AGO
WATCHING DUKSOO
HE'S NOT HOLDING HIS TEARS BACK
Now comes the interview with the manager.
CONTINUE WITH
THEIR MANAGER'S INTERVIEW
-It'll be unique.
-Manager Lee Young-bok.
-He's been a coach a long time.
-He's a legend.
He's so scary.
Are you better than Duksoo?
Of course. I believe we are better.
I asked the same question to Duksoo.
They say they're better.
What do you think?
Well…
There's nothing I can do to stop them
from thinking like that,
but as for us,
we're definitely much better than them.
WE ARE "MUCH" BETTER
We'll know when you see us play.
-I see.
-Yes.
I think Choongam will be better.
You don't think so?
TRYING TO HIDE THEIR EXPRESSIONS
I'll show you the players on my team.
REVEALING THE PLAYERS
Yes. They're strong players.
-What was that?
-He didn't even read it properly.
AT LEAST READ IT PROPERLY
How do you think
they'll do against Choongam?
No need to ask. We'll win.
Some players here retired years ago.
They'll lose to
the young, high school energy.
We have strong players.
WE'RE BETTER
HE LAUGHED?
CAN HE LAUGH UNTIL THE END?
Man. This is nuts.
What's your chance of winning?
We'll most likely win
two games out of three.
How about out of ten games?
At least seven games.
-Seven games.
-Yes.
-Seven games.
-He really likes seven.
I GUESS IT REALLY IS A TREND
Duksoo guessed they'll win eight games.
Really?
Then, we'll go with ten games.
We'll win all.
If we go easy, maybe seven games.
But if we play seriously, I'm confident
we'll win ten games out of ten.
You'll know when you face us.
(GOODBYE, THEN)
THEY'RE PROVOKED
Yes. They're no match for us.
"No match for us"?
-Fun video.
-I must practice a lot.
How do you feel?
I was pretty exhausted today.
But I feel competitive
and energetic again.
HE GETS COMPETITIVE AGAIN
You saw today that they got injured.
I was worried
because they aren't young anymore.
But they played with so much passion.
And two consecutive wins.
I really have to
think again about this at home.
You guys are doing so well.
I hope two wins will become three.
Let's gather and chant to end the day.
Dear me.
THEY'LL DIE
BEFORE THEY KILL CHOONGAM
We're definitely the best.
We have no enemies.
Let's prepare well for the next game.
Let's do this.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
WAIT FOR ME, THREE CONSECUTIVE WINS
MONSTERS VS CHOONGAM
WILL START NOW!
-Let's go!
-Yes!
2 GAMES 2 WINS 0 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE A THOUSAND
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello, sir.
-Oh, dear.
-Hello.
-I feel so heavy.
You just heard my groan.
Why are you guys all here in Busan?
My shoulder isn't well.
Same for my elbow.
For the first time in his career,
he came into the dugout
because he was in pain.
I'm fine everywhere else.
But I didn't expect to hurt my elbow.
He said he can't even throw 18,44 meters.
Then I'll get kicked out.
HE'S GIVEN UP
Watch your mouth.
Do you want to get kicked out?
Seung-jun. You can pitch
until the day after tomorrow.
HE'S VERY RELIABLE
So we're going to have an ultrasound test.
-To look at the inflammation.
-Yes.
-They check your condition.
-Then you get treated?
-You might get a prescription.
-Or find a way to exercise.
LET'S GET CHECKED FIRST
-Please sit.
-Okay.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
When your MCL is damaged,
you can't flex like that.
There's a big bone chip right here.
I see. I had this bone
around MCL for a long time.
-Really?
-Yes. I already had it.
You can't see the MCL
because it's shattered.
The ultrasound can't read it.
We may have to examine it more thoroughly.
Let's do an MRI.
Right now?
MRI RIGHT NOW?
HE'S SURPRISED
Just get tested now.
How will you wait until next week?
This is making me depressed.
It might be okay.
You already had the bone there.
I don't think it's acute
because it's not swollen.
Let's check just in case.
AS THE WAITING BECOMES LONGER
I've never been in this much pain before.
HE SEEMS ANXIOUS
THE MRI FINALLY STARTS
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULTS?
EXAMINATION COMPLETE
Oh my gosh.
TIME TO CHECK THE RESULTS
-This is fascinating.
-Why?
About 80 percent
of the ligament became a bone.
-What?
-It became a bone.
-The ligament?
-Yes.
-What does that mean?
-Maybe it's stiff.
Part of your MCL becomes like this.
-It's calcified.
-That thing over there.
-Is that bone?
-Yes. About 2,5 cm.
HE MUST'VE USED HIS ARM
COUNTLESS TIMES
But when the MRI showed that
part of your ligament is sprained.
There's a bit of inflammation.
-Inflammation?
-How should I put this?
This part on the top of the ligament.
-That's the ligament.
-Yes. And it turned white, right?
Yes. a little bit.
That's how you know
there's an inflammation.
It's not that serious though.
Rest for a week before pitching.
-It's fine.
-Okay.
Then no need for treatments?
Yes. Just pitch a week later.
CLAPPING IN RELIEF
Thank goodness.
I think so. I'm stiff here too.
My biceps are stiff too.
MUSCLE BECAME STIFF DUE TO LONG REST
I never knew.
MOVEABLE RANGE BECOMES
WIDER WITH PAIN
Over there.
I MUST ENDURE!
THEN I'LL BE STRONGER!
Darn it!
It's like all my muscles are
sending me signals.
"You're starting again."
GROANING
MY CELLS, WAKE UP!
You think I can use my shoulder tomorrow?
That stings!
Are you crying?
YOU CRYING?
I have to endure.
Do I have to take it this far?
When I'm throwing…
You can't do it like that.
That really stings!
GOCHEOK SKY DOME
-Hello!
-Hey!
GAME WITH CHOONGAM D-DAY

WHAT IS THIS?
HE'S EMBARRASSED
-As expected.
-You posted the photo…
THEY HAVE NO SECRETS
Let's shoot this again!
THE PRODUCER IS
SICK AND TIRED OF THIS
Hey. Just let this slide.
I'll announce the starting players last.
And there's good news today.
GOOD NEWS?
The production crew got us two players.
THEY DECIDED TO ADD 2 MORE PLAYERS
They recruited two more.
So I met them yesterday.
They'll be a big help to this team.
I'll introduce the new players.
-All right.
-Who are they?
This is a romance show or what?
Come in!
THOSE WHO WILL BECOME
THE PILLAR OF THE TEAM
AND SAVE CK MONSTERS
WHO ARE THEY?
You better not show up.
They're here!
HE'S WELCOMING THEM
A PASSIONATE WELCOME
RHEE DAE-EUN
You told us to stay seated,
but you stood up the fastest.
AND KIM MOON-HO
Are you from Guam or something?
Please introduce yourselves.
I recently retired, so I'm a bit fresh.
-I'm Rhee Dae-eun.
-You're fresh!
FRESH AND HANDSOME PITCHER,

KIM MOON-HO, THE DEAREST
A WELL-ROUNDED PLAYER
WITH GOOD SWING
GOOD DEFENSE
AND EXCEPTIONAL BASE RUNNING,
THE PERFECT BATTER
THEY'RE GOOD REINFORCEMENTS
These two players came today.
Also they played a game yesterday,
and they were fit.
So they'll be playing today. No practice.
-Today.
-You tested them, right?
Of course. I tested them.
-It's been a while.
-Hello, sir.
-Dae-eun. My first time seeing you.
-Hello.
It's the first time, right?
The game tomorrow is important. So…
You guys are welcome to join the team.
(DAE-EUN IS CONFUSED)
It's a free pass for the pitchers.
There aren't any pitchers left.
So for Moon-ho, I want to see him swing.
So get ready.
EXCLUSIVE TEST BEGINS(?)
Darn. It's flying.
Do you want to hit this way?
HE HITS THE OPPOSITE WAY
HE'S EXHAUSTED ALREADY
-Darn.
-One more. Last one.
I WANT
TO BE A PITCHER TOO…
WHATEVER, JUST SWING THE BAT
YOU'RE NOT THERE YET, NEWBIE(?)
SWINGING WITH RAGE
HE'S GETTING HIS TOUCH BACK
PLEASE GIVE ME A PASS!
HE'S ABOUT TO FAINT
He can stop. Looks good.
Yes.
Moon-ho. Congratulations on joining.
No money for signing the contract.
AN EVIL MANAGER
-The cap is small.
-You look like a guide.
HE LOOKS LIKE A TOURIST GUIDE
In Thailand.
SENOR TAEK, MEXICAN GUIDE(?)
Look at him. Do you see?
ON THE OTHER HAND,
THE CAP SUITS HIM WELL
THEY'RE CLAPPING
Why don't you take a photo?
Jun-ho, take the picture.
Dae-eun is a rapper,
and Moon-ho is a guide.
So true, right?
You have your banana boat, right?
A PHOTO FOR RECRUITING
A RAPPER AND A GUIDE(?)
I'll announce today's lineup.
ANNOUNCING THE LINEUP AGAIN
TAEK-KUN, CF
KEUN-WOO, 2B
Number six is…
THEY EXPECT TO GET CALLED
Number six is…
-Moon-ho.
-Okay.
6TH BATTER, KIM MOON-HO
-Me?
-That's right.
You may get kicked out
if it doesn't work out today.
-Number seven, Jun-ho.
-Yes, sir.
-Catcher.
-Okay.
Number eight, Hong-ku.
Yes, sir.
Why are you disappointed?
-Because you're number eight?
-No, sir.
You surprised me, Hong-ku.
HE WORRIES EASILY
-His response was…
-He thinks he's a catcher.
-Again. Number eight, Hong-ku.
-Yes.
-First base.
-Yes, sir!
-Number nine, Hyun-in.
-Yes.
-Shortstop.
-Yes.
SHORTSTOP, RYU HYUN-IN
Today's starting pitcher.
It's Song Seung-jun.
THE MVP OF THE SECOND GAME!
We'll have to discuss it today,
but I heard Soo-chang is okay here,
but not here.
-I'm fine now.
-You are?
So for today,
-Seung-jun will pitch first.
-Okay.
Dae-eun will be the second.
Okay. I think we're done here.
Before we go out,
since there are new players here today…
-We prepared something.
-Really?
Encouragement money?
Something that'll cheer us up?
Encouragement money!
A table is coming in.
Isn't it the mascot?
It's Park Dong-won.
PARK DONG-WON (?) IS COMING IN…
I thought we were just cutting cakes.
-Tuna!
-Tuna?
It's what you like, right?
WHAT'S WITH THE TUNA?
Why do we have tuna all of a sudden?
It's the 40th anniversary
of Korean professional baseball.
So we collaborated with Dongwon tuna.
All the teams are on here.
The team logos are there too.
-This looks good.
-It smells so good.
I can't eat tuna though.
But there's plenty of protein in tuna.
May I try one?
-Try it.
-Yes. Let's eat it.
-Thank you for the food.
-Everyone, try it.
-Which one should I eat?
-Where's my red pepper tuna?
My red pepper tuna.
MUNCHING
-This is good.
-It is?
Yes. It is.
-It's delicious.
-Which one did you eat?
-How come you can't eat this?
-This one is good.
TUNA WITH PROTEIN IS
THE BEST BEFORE BASEBALL!
Inside the tuna…
YOO HEE-KWAN WHO LOVES CAPITALISM
I know it's delicious,
but we have a game to play.
The tuna disappeared so quickly.
Let's go.
LET'S PREPARE FOR THE GAME!
10 MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME STARTS
CK Monsters are on a winning streak.
They face yet another strong team.
Hello. Welcome
to the third game of CK monsters.
We have Kim Sun-woo
with us as a commentator.
-Hello.
-Hello.
CK Monsters managed to get two wins
against Duksoo High School.
Now, they are facing another strong team,
Choongam High School baseball team.
They're one of the top three
high school baseball teams in Korea.
I think we can expect a lot from them.
That's right.
We have to stay strong
and not be overwhelmed by them.
We'll win no matter what.
We came prepared today,
so I don't think we'll lose easily.
THE TENSION IS HIGH
BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS
-They went beyond our expectations.
-They were excellent.
I was also quite surprised.
CK Monsters are
now playing their third game,
-so they must have improved.
-Yes.
Batter one
for Choongam High is Lee Seon-u.
Two, Lee Chung-heon.
Three, Woo Seung-won. Four, Kim Dong-heon.
Five, Park Chae-ul.
Six, Cho Hyeon-min. Seven, Im Jun-ha.
Eight, Lee Seong-hyeon.
Nine, Kim Min-seok.
And Byeon Geon-u is the starting pitcher.
CK Monsters' defense. The outfield.
Jung Eui-yoon, Lee Taek-keun, Kim Moon-ho.
And infield. I see that
Seo Dong-wook is on third base.
Ryu Hyun-in is the shortstop.
Jeong Keun-woo, on second base.
Lee Hong-ku is now on first base,
and Yoon Jun-ho is the catcher once again.
Yoon Jun-ho is great on defense,
so Lee Hong-ku suits as the first baseman.
The third game of CK Monsters begins now.
Give them a hand!
BOTH TEAMS CHEER PASSIONATELY
Let's go!
Song Seung-jun became
the starting pitcher
for the first time today.
Song Seung-jun.
I can already feel his nervousness,
unlike how Song Sam-bong usually is.
We met him before the match
and wondered why he was that nervous.
-Why is he so nervous?
-Right?
This is driving me insane.
What if I don't do well?
I got nervous and anxious.
Won-sam isn't at 100 percent,
nor is Soo-chang.
Dae-eun just came,
so he needs to get in shape.
I must pitch for at least
four or five innings
for other pitchers to pitch
without pressure.
I was very nervous.
MUCH PRESSURE
ON THE STARTING PITCHER
Batter one, Lee Seon-u is up.
LEE SEON-U
He has good speed, throwing, and power.
In 2021, he won the award as the MVP
and the batting champion
at National Middle School Championship.
-Seon-u, let's go!
-Let's go!
-You got this!
-Hit it!
-Go!
-You can do it!
He's up against Song Seung-jun.
-Strike.
-First pitch, a strike near his body.
THE BALL FLIES RAPIDLY
Song Seung-jun throws
near his body from the first pitch.
MURMURING
That was close.
He's still a good pitcher.
SONG SEUNG-JUN,
YOU STILL GOT YOUR GAME
-Strike.
-Another count with a curve ball.
SEUNG-JUN GETS ANOTHER COUNT
WITH A CURVE BALL
-Strike.
-Good play!
He got the curve ball.
Tell him to get him now.
HOW WILL HE THROW TO STRIKE HIM OUT?
It's strike two.
THREE THROWS, THREE STRIKES
Miss. Strikeout.
Three throws, three strikes.
He gets the first batter
with three pitches.
1 OUT
After two strikes, professional players
always throw such a winning pitch.
He throws a splitter
in order to strike him out.
That was a perfect splitter.
I feel burdened.
It's just a real match, isn't it?
He threw so well, so I feel pressured.
Lee Chung-heon is at bat.
He's a second-year at Choongam High.
-Strike.
-First pitch. A fastball.
A fastball of 137km/h. It's 1 strike.
EASY DEFENSE
His pitch control is amazing right now.
Song Seung-jun is throwing
lots of strikes today.
-Strike.
-A little to the outside.
THE PITCH CAME IN A BIT OUTSIDE
But things look great.
I think Yoon Jun-ho is
a master at framing.
Framing is a skill set he has
that'll make the pitch look like a strike.
-He's a catcher who's great at that.
-He is.
Gosh, he's really good at framing.
I always compliment someone for a reason.
Slam.
HE'S AT AN UNFAVORABLE COUNT
Ball count, strike two.
He throws down and out.
IT'S A HIT!
-Yes!
-Good!
-He hits. It goes to the right.
-Fly out!
It drops in the foul zone.
He's still a high school student,
and that pitch was on the outside.
The contact was excellent.
And when he's out on the field,
he's one of the fastest runners
on the team too.
The count is on the pitcher's side.
The ball drops.
It rolls out. He dashes to first base.
He throws to first base.
He's out. Strikeout.
SATISFIED
He'll strike out nine at this rate.
That means he'll have to throw 27 strikes.
Song Seung-jun's splitters
at the beginning of the game are
-literally monstrous pitches.
-Yes.
On top of that,
look at how Yoon Jun-ho blocks.
That was excellent.
We're at two out.
Already?
Before the game began,
Manager Lee Young-bok said
they'll definitely win,
showing tremendous confidence.
Duksoo High did the same.
But the players of CK Monsters are
doing way too well.
Right?
COPY AND PASTE
Batter three, Woo Seung-won.
His biggest strength is
how he handles fastballs.
ONLY ONE MORE OUT TO GO
Let's go!
-Strike.
-Another strike near the body.
-Hey!
-Okay.
Nice pitch.
This is the third batter,
and the first is
always a strike for all three.
He catches the dropping pitch.
Nice catch!
He pulls himself back from swinging
a pitch with a rapid curve.
Batter three, Woo Seung-won.
One more strike.
He hits it with the edge. A foul.
THE COUNT IS ON THE PITCHER'S SIDE
Okay, you made it happen.
ONE MORE STRIKE TO GO
You can do this!
-Strike.
-It's in. Strikeout.
HE DELIVERS ONCE AGAIN
Three Ks.
AMAZED
The last pitch he threw was
Song Seung-jun's expertise,
a perfect downward curve.
Song Seung-jun strikes out
all three batters as a starting pitcher.
My gosh, he isn't human.
-Nice ball!
-Great job.
WE GOT SONG SEUNG-JUN
That was amazing.
Song Seung-jun became
the monster of CK Monsters.
I don't want to pitch after him.
CK Monsters' offense,
the bottom of the first inning.
BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
Time to meet Byeon Geon-u,
Choongam High's starting pitcher.
Who is that guy?
-He's a second-year.
-That was scary.
He's good.
Manager Lee Young-bok evaluates him
as a player who knows
how to fight on the mound.
Like a gamecock.
He's a second-year high school student.
Batter one is Lee Taek-keun.
Lee Taek-keun is down as the first batter.
-Go.
-Okay!
Go, Lee Taek-keun!
Low on the outside.
The speed was mid-140km per hour.
HE THROWS A FASTBALL
FROM THE FIRST PITCH
NICE SPEED
Good.
HIS SPEED IS OVERPOWERING
Focus, defense!
It's high on the outside.
He keeps a good eye on the ball.
-Good catch!
-Good!
Three balls.
GEON-U IS FACED
WITH A DISADVANTAGEOUS COUNT
-Strike.
-Fourth pitch, near the body. Strike.
He gets up. A foul.
The count began at three balls,
but it's now a full count.
Lee Taek-keun hit one foul ball,
so he's in shape.
He must throw a strike now.
What will he throw?
He pitches deep inside.
Byeon Geon-u lets the first batter
get on first base with four balls.
FOUR BALLS FROM THE FIRST PITCHER…
The batter goes out with four balls.
First base, no outs. Jeong Keun-woo is up.

Okay, focus. No four balls.
LURKS AROUND
GLANCES
The ball drops behind.
RUN
Lee Taek-keun makes his way
to second base.
He runs in upright.
Hi.
GOOD GRIEF…
Lee is in a scoring position.
Byeon's wild pitch
puts the runner at second base.
Geon-u!
(FORGET THE RUNNER,
FOCUS ON THE BATTER)
High pitch. He spots it.
Once again, four balls.
Lee Taek-keun and Jeong Keun-woo.
Two batters in a row
go out with four balls.
HABITUAL
GEON-U LETS THEM GO
TWICE IN A ROW WITH FOUR BALLS
Umpire, a timeout, please.
Timeout.
-What's with me?
-Nice pitch, but you're too rash.
Let them hit. They're all good batters.
-Yes.
-Don't worry.
It's okay. They'll hit it.
We won't complain.
The catcher, Kim Dong-heon,
quickly runs up and helps the pitcher,
Byeon Geon-u, calm down.
-Great job.
-Yes.
He has lots of experience,
so he can step in and do this.
That was excellent.
First and second base, no outs.
Two batters get four balls.
Park Yong-taek is up.
Park Yong-taek had a hit
from the first pitch.
He hit it to the mid-left.
It was embarrassing.
It made me laugh.
I was embarrassed
before the high school students too.
I made a bonehead play
while I was out as a runner.
If it's thrown to second base,
he'll be out.
HE MIXED UP THE OUT COUNT
AND BECAME OUT
TAGGED OUT AFTER OVERRUNNING
THROWS A WET BLANKET ON THE GAME
AND HOPES TO BE THE MVP
FORGET THE WET TAEK FROM NOW ON
The ball bounces.
It feels like his fastball
has not been zeroed yet.
It's outside, but a little more out.
-Good one. Nice.
-Good!
The count is favorable for Park Yong-taek,
so it's a chance
for him to do a full swing.
Run up!
IT'S A HIT!
It's a hit.
The ball drops down the center.
Go!
RUNNING WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT
THE BALL DROPS
IN FRONT OF THE CENTER FIELDER
HURRY UP!
TAEK-KEUN PASSES THE 3RD BASE
He picks it up and throws it back home.
Okay.
He throws it back home.
And at home, he slides in.
YOU DID IT, LAVA TAEK!
Park Yong-taek's timely hit.
CK Monsters score.
-Nice.
-Nice.
NICE JOB, CAPTAIN
Park Yong-taek aimed to hit that.
When he got the chance,
he expected the pitcher
to throw into the middle
and made a full swing.
His hit turns into a score.
Park Yong-taek begins to come alive
as we play one game after another.
Yes, excellent hit.
Byeon Geon-u
strongly wanted to strike him out.
He's disappointed.
Yes, he comes up.
PITCHING COACH VISITS THE MOUND

SIGH… HUFF…
UGH…
Kim Moon-ho is now up.
He joined CK Monsters as a new player.
How will his first batting go?
Kim Moon-ho was a good player.
-Yes.
-He hit about 171 hits in a year.
I contributed a lot too.
-Did he hit your pitches?
-Yes.
When you join a new team,
the first batting is very important.
He has a great swing.
His shoulders are strong in the outfield.
STRONG SHOULDERS IN THE OUTFIELD
Deep into his body.
Nice catch.
-Good!
-Nice catch.
He needs to hit the ball

-Yes.
He hit two home runs during the practice.
SEUNG-JUN GIVES A SIGN

1ST BATTER

THE FIRST PITCH WAS A FASTBALL
He changes his plans
and makes the batters confused.

Steady defense.
Jeong Keun-woo of second base.

with a clean record.

He's so good.
There's nobody else but Soo-chang.
NUMBER 1 BELONGS TO SOO-CHANG!
Who's the best among the five pitchers?
Soo-chang.
My opinion is the same.
The bottom of the second.
CK Monsters are batting.
Choongam High can't lose more points.
-No.
-No.
Fielders, forget the batting.
Make solid defense.
READY FOR PERFECT DEFENSE

NICE, JUN-HO
It's reassuring to have a batter like him.
The ball came in a little high,
but Yoon Jun-ho has
a great swinging projection.
-Manager Lee Seung-yuop praised him.
-I see.
That was Yoon Jun-ho.
Do you know why I'm scared?
I'm scared that Yoon Jun-ho
may not remain with CK Monsters.
-Why?
-He might return as a pro.
He must leave after this program ends.
-Right.
-We're going to do this until season ten.
I cannot let him go.

-You can see the confidence.
Byeon Geon-u shook his head twice,
meaning he'll throw a four-seam.
