THE FIRST GAME
AGAINST A COLLEGE TEAM
He hits a high pitch! Center-right!
He catches it!
THE GAME IS BACK TO SQUARE ONE
ENTERING INTO
A DRAMATIC EXTRA INNING
He bunts.
DONG-EUI KEEPS AT IT TENACIOUSLY
The two runners reach home!
What will happen to the Monsters?
THE MONSTERS SHOW
THAT THEY'RE MORE THAN A MATCH
-Run!
-Taek-keun reaches home!
The game is over!
THE MONSTERS WIN IN THE END
THE DAY OF THE 2ND MATCH IN SONGDO
We'll win the second round no matter what.
A sharp hit!
It flies over the third baseman.
THE MONSTERS STILL SHOW
THAT THEY'RE THE BEST
CK MONSTERS
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY IS
DETERMINED TO WIN
I'm here to win by all means.
-It's high.
-Forward!
-Catch it.
-He tries to catch, but he fails.
DONG-EUI DOESN'T MISS THE CHANCE
AND GRILLS THE MONSTERS
-Strike!
-It's a strike!
Strikeout looking.
NOW IS OUR CHANCE
He slides to reach home.
THE GAME ISN'T GOING EASILY
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE 2ND MATCH?
It's the top of the fourth inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.
CK Monsters could've totally had
the upbeat atmosphere.
But they allowed Dong-eui to catch up.
You can't say that it's bad,
but it's not a good situation.
So far, Cho Hyo-jun
has played the game well.
That's right.
It's the first batter Lee Hong-ku.
Lee Hong-ku.
-Good luck!
-Good luck!
I was a little concerned
because my parents were there.
All I could think about was
that I had to hit well.
He hits.
HE HITS!
It flies left.
Toward the fence!
It's a foul.
THE BALL GOES OVER THE LEFT FENCE
-Lee Hong-ku!
-Lee Hong-ku!
-It's too bad.
-That was close.
If a fly ball goes to the left today,
-the defense will be shocked.
-Yes.
Left fielder An Hyeon-tae
keeps saying, "wind."
He's saying that
the ball is getting blown away.
It keeps going farther.
-Yes.
-Look at the wind.
The trees in the back are swaying so much.
NERVOUS
That was a really scary hit.
-He hits a high pitch.
-Go.
It's toward the left fielder.
PLEASE
-Go!
-It's going.
-It's going.
-Go!
-It's going.
-It's toward the left fielder.
Behind the left fielder.
WHAT?
-It's going.
-It's going.
-It's going.
-Right in front of the fence.
The ball is caught.
Jeez. In front of the fence.
-There's no wind.
-Why is there no wind?
The wind should've been stronger.
-He's out.
-Too bad Hong-ku is out.
APPEARING WITH THE WIND
Because it was a close game,
I thought it shouldn't go like this.
Kim Moon-ho is at bat.
Another hit!
It's a high ball.
MOON-HO HOLDS BACK
He held back.
Good. Moon-ho, you have a good eye.
GOOD EYE
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
That's it.
Toward first base. It's a foul.
FOUL
MOON-HO HITS A GOOD PITCH
THAT WAS A GOOD SWING
MOVING
JUN-HO GUIDES AN OUTWARD PITCH
Kim Moon-ho holds back on the low ball.
3 BALLS
HYO-JUN STARTS TO LOSE
THE CONTROL OF THE PITCH
Dong-eui has to win today
-to have the third match.
-That's right.
The pitcher must not lose control today.
He has to throw a lot of strikes.
-Of course.
-He can't throw four balls.
Hyo-jun, don't let him hit.
Go head-to-head.
Pitcher Cho Hyo-jun needs a strike.
-Okay.
-Good.
HYO-JUN LETS THE BATTER WALK
NICE!
It's one out. A runner on first base.
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.
It's batter number eight,
Jeong Seong-hoon.
He has to fight this.
I WON'T LET HIM WALK THIS TIME
FOUL
JUN-HO IS HIT BY THE FOUL BALL
Catcher Yoon Jun-ho's thigh
was hit, not the guard.
-Our Jun-ho shouldn't be hurt.
-Let's go!
FORTUNATELY, JUN-HO ISN'T INJURED
Timeout.
A REQUEST FOR A TIMEOUT
-Good job. Your pitch…
-Yes.
-Did you throw a lot during practice?
-Yes.
Your pitch lost power. Good work.
He's visiting the mound.
This is it
for starting pitcher Cho Hyo-jun.
Will he replace him? He will.
He's replaced after one strike.
Pitcher substitutions are made.
Who will be the next pitcher?
SOLEMN
-Will you be okay?
-Yes.
There's Shin Seung-yun,
but Manager Jung chooses Choi Yun-seo.
-I think he's new.
-Yes.
A SECRET WEAPON COMES ON THE SCENE
Be confident.
Your pitch is really hard to hit.
Yes, sir.
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat. He hit a foul.
It's strike one
and there's been a pitcher replacement.
Choi Yun-seo has been substituted.
RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER CHOI YUN-SEO
He looks like a freshman.
STRIKE
A MENACING AND NAILING PITCH
When he releases the ball,
it feels very powerful.
I told you Song Seung-jun
had a good pitch.
-His pitch is better.
-I see.
He's amazing.
He's good.
What?
He has good control and he throws well.
I could feel that
he had good power and speed.
Choi Yun-seo looks brave on the mound.
He swings and misses! Strikeout!
THE GENIUS BATTER IS HELPLESS
Jeong Seong-hoon is struck out.
Now it's two outs.
A CLEAN STRIKEOUT
SIGHING
That was fast.
Is he the ace?
Is there another one?
Choi Yun-seo didn't play the last game.
No.
Manager Lee analyzed Shin Seung-yun.
Suddenly, Cho Yun-seo showed up.
Manager Lee looks nervous and flustered.
TOTALLY CONFUSED
Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
A college student Choi Yun-seo
is against Ryu Hyun-jin,
a college player of CK Monsters.
I'LL TEACH THE FRESHMAN
STRIKE
GOODBYE, SENIOR
NICE PITCH!
It was a slider this time.
This time, it was a breaking ball.
It was a fascinating four-seam
that turned into a slider
that seemed like a cut fastball.
It was great.
NERVOUS
STRIKE
-Strike!
-It came in low into the strike zone.
It was in, wasn't it?
-Yes.
-Yes.
The pitch was 139 km/h.
He's the best.
It was almost the fastest pitch
-at 140km/h.
-Strike!
It'll be hard to hit.
THE BALL COUNT IS FAVORABLE
TO THE PITCHER
-Strike!
-A breaking ball! Strikeout!
CHOI YUN-SEO SHATTERS
THE MONSTERS' CHANCE TO ATTACK
Strikeout!
DEVASTATED
YUN-SEO'S FORMIDABLE PITCH
Nice pitch.
GOOD JOB, MY BOY
Yun-seo.
Choi Yun-seo gets two strikeouts
against CK Monsters.
This inning is over.
ASTONISHED
He's good.
There are a lot of good pitchers.
Manager Jung did a great job.
It won't be easy to score points.
TOP OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
YUN-SEO IS STILL PITCHING
Jeong Keun-woo made two hits today.
I wonder how he'll hit Yun-seo's pitch.
Right.
Jeong Keun-woo
has played a lot of games abroad,
so he's quicker than anyone
when it comes to adapting to new pitchers.
The first pitch is low
and toward the hitter.
KEUN-WOO WATCHES THE BALL CAREFULLY
GOOD EYE
-Jeez.
-He hits.
The ball flies high to the right.
Right fielder
catches the ball in the back.
Jeez.
1 OUT
-Jeez.
-Keun-woo, how fast?
Is it around or over 130km/h?
It drops slightly in the end.
It's like an arm-style pitching machine.
LIKE THIS
NUMBER 2 BATTER TAEK-KEUN IS NEXT
He hesitates. He doesn't swing.
It's a strike.
Hesitating means that
he can't see if it's a four-seam
or a breaking ball.
Nice pitch.
Good job.
WE HAVE TO HIT THIS TIME…
He pulls. It flies to third base.
The third baseman catches it.
I GUESS HE CAN'T GET ON BASE…
The third baseman catches it
and throws it to first base.
The first baseman misses it.
Because of the mistake,
Lee Taek-keun gets on base.
HE GOT ON BASE?
Dong-eui is good at playing defense.
-That was a plain ground ball.
-Yes.
It's very regrettable.
-Nice pitch.
-He's good.
One out and runner on first base.
Number three batter
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
CAPTAIN TAEK IS AT BAT
All right. Yong-taek, let's go.
WE'VE GOT THIS, LET'S GO!
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
He swings.
YUN-SEO THROWS A STRIKE
THIS IS IT!
Is it tricky to hit?
His slider turns fast.
It comes at you like a fastball.
It's fast.
Choi Yun-seo's breaking ball
is a combination of a slider and a cutter.
This is really great.
I can tell just by looking.
Depending on the batter,
every pitch is slightly different.
They're all four-seam,
but they have more rotations.
Coach Chong trained him really well.
A MONSTROUS PITCHER
TRAINED BY COACH CHONG
All right, let's go.
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
-Jeez!
-Park Yong-taek swings at a low pitch.
JEEZ
-He was seeking to hit a pitch.
-Yes.
-Is he the ace?
-He's a freshman.
-He's good.
-Yes.
HE PITCHES WELL…
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
STRIKEOUT
He misses. It's a strikeout.
The runner is stuck.
HE STARTS RUNNING
(STOPPING)
No. Will he catch him?
Lee Taek-keun runs.
-He tries to tag him. He's out.
-Out!
3 OUTS
A strikeout
and a runner failed to steal a base.
CK Monsters'
top of the fifth inning ended in vain.
WHAT'S GOING ON…?
What's up with the atmosphere
all of a sudden?
How was Keun-woo taken out?
The right fielder caught his hit.
JEONG YONG-GEOM
STARTS TO GET NERVOUS
It's Yoo Hee-kwan right away.
THE BOTTOM OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
-Are you all right?
-Yes.
Because they are tied,
the ace of CK Monsters
will start to pitch in the fifth inning.
A pitcher substitution.
Forget the in-course. Stick close.
-Watch out for the changeup.
-Yes.
THE MONSTERS RAISE THE STAKES
YOO HEE-KWAN IS THE DECIDING FACTOR
FOR BOTH TEAMS
Batter number nine An Hyeon-tae is at bat.
NUMBER 9 BATTER
AN HYEON-TAE IS AT BAT
-It's raining.
-It's raining.
It's slightly raining.
It's a match on a wet field.
THE FIELD IS FILLED
WITH A STRANGE FEELING
-Go for it.
-Hyeon-tae, hit it!
HE HITS!
He pulls. It goes toward
the left fielder. It's a hit.
NICE
-Go!
-Run!
The ball rolls along the line
and hits the fence.
The hitter reaches second base.
HYEON-TAE PUTS HIMSELF
IN A SCORING POSITION
-Two.
-Two.
He hit two today.
HYEON-TAE IS GOOD…
CK Monsters
are facing a crisis this inning.
THEY'RE ABOUT TO LOSE POINTS
NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE
A runner is on second base.
Number one batter Kang Jun-seo is at bat.
Yes.
GIVING SIGNS
Will he bunt?
He'll either surprise bunt or bunt.
-Let's go one at a time.
-Okay.
-If he bunts, throw it to third base.
-Okay.
-I'll throw it to third base 100 percent.
-Yes.
THE INFIELDERS MOVE UP
TO PREPARE FOR A BUNT
WILL HE BUNT AS PREDICTED?
A SURPRISE BUNT
He bunts.
I KNEW IT!
DONG-WOOK GOES TO 3RD BASE
The pitcher catches it. First base.
He misses it!
-He misses it!
-Hey!
IT'S A MISS
FLUSTERED
STOP!
RUN!
The runner reaches home!
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Dong-eui came back successfully.
The runner reaches home!
Dong-eui came back successfully.
(HEAD DOWN)
I should've stopped the hit
and thrown the ball with a focus.
IT'S UNLIKE HEE-KWAN
TO MAKE A MISTAKE
I lost focus.
Ace Yoo Hee-kwan let them turn the tables.
THE ACE LOSES A POINT
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Manager Lee must've expected a long inning
without losing any points
by having Hee-kwan pitch.
But this is quite regrettable.
You're right.
They let Dong-eui come back so easily.
Now it's three to two.
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
SIGNALING
LET'S GO WITH THE FLOW
AND SCORE MORE POINTS!
WE'RE READY
PREPARE FOR BUNT
INFIELDERS MOVE IN TO PLAY DEFENSE
The Monsters
shouldn't lose any more points.
That's right.
BUNT AND RUN
-It's another bunt!
-Go!
First baseman catches it.
-Second baseman covers the base.
-Go!
He's out.
Meanwhile, the runner reaches third base.
1ST BASE RUNNER RUNS TO 3RD BASE?
RUN
That's it! Run!
LET'S GET 2 OUTS!
SAFE
-Safe.
-He's safe on third base.
What?
OH…
Dong-eui's "one more base"
strategy is very scary.
Yes. That's what
Manager Jung wanted to do.
His strategy is working
extremely well in this inning.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Timeout! Umpire!
THE MONSTERS REQUEST
AN INSTANT REPLAY
Third base was runner was called safe,
and Manager Lee
requested an instant replay.
A GOOD CHANCE
TO CHANGE THE FLOW OF THE GAME
You're out, aren't you?
-Right?
-I think I'm safe.
Look at Seo Dong-wook catching the ball.
He caught the ball, then,
here, he tagged the runner.
An instant replay has been requested.
HIS HAND TOUCHED FIRST!
THE RESULT
IS SAFE
It's safe.
I told you it was safe.
BEING CHEEKY
-Okay!
-We'll get them at home base.
LET'S GET THEM AT HOME BASE
Now it's one out
and the runner is on third base.
It's a crisis.
THEY MIGHT LOSE ANOTHER POINT
Yoo Tae-ung is at bat,
and that's a problem.
NUMBER 3 BATTER
YOO TAE-UNG IS AT BAT
Today, he had two hits
-in two at-bats.
-That's right.
GIVING SIGNS
THIS TIME, IT'S A SQUEEZE!
He bunts!
-Foul!
-It's a foul.
TOO BAD
-Dong-eui is…
-This is how they play.
Today, Manager Jung
-said he'd show various things.
-Yes.
He made the best hitter do a squeeze play.
MANAGER JUNG PLAYS
TENACIOUS BASEBALL
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
-Strike.
-It comes close to the body. Two strikes.
Hee-kwan brings in a precious count.
COME ON, HEE-KWAN
(PARCHED LIPS)
The manager and the teammates trust me,
so I want to live up
to their expectations.
He misses. Strikeout!
-Good.
-Okay.
Hee-kwan in crisis
overcomes the crisis himself for now.
-Finish it here.
-You can finish them here!
LET'S END THIS
Now, there's only one out count left.
The runner is still on third base.
Stay out there. Don't come in too fast.
Lee Jin-seok made a sharp first hit today.
CK Monsters let Dong-eui turn the tables.
How will they finish this inning?
Let's go.
Okay. In front!
-He hits.
-Okay. In front!
-The ball flies high.
-Catch it.
-The infielders. Shortstop is moving.
-Get it.
He catches the ball. Three outs.
3 OUTS
Dong-eui is ahead of the Monsters,
but Hee-kwan didn't lose
any additional points.
It's three to two.
The game is moving on to the sixth inning.
I don't feel good about today's game.
Hee-kwan won't waver anymore though.
SIGHING
Can we just play
ten games and win ten times?
I'd be at ease then.
Seriously, this is the only
TV show I appear regularly.
NONE OF MY BUSINESS
Eui-yoon, let's go!
NONE OF MY BUSINESS
TOP OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Half of the game has been played.
It's the top of the sixth inning.
CK Monster's fourth hitter
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
-Go for it.
-Let's go!
It's time to score.
-The Monsters, the hitters, are in haste.
-Yes.
It's because Choi Yun-seo pitches
-really well.
-Yes.
Shin Seung-yun will still pitch after him.
Right.
Dong-eui is one point ahead,
and there are only four innings left.
WE HAVE TO CATCH UP NOW
STRIKE
YUN-SEO WON'T LET HIM SCORE EASILY
He doesn't ease up.
HE'S TOO GOOD…
-Strike!
-Outside strike.
NO…
-Good.
-It's okay.
YOU CAN DO IT
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
Nice one.
Even the fourth hitter Jung Eui-yoon
couldn't hit Yun-seo's pitch.
(BITING HIS LIPS)
Choi Yun-seo dealt with six hitters
on the mound,
and he struck out four of them.
Yes, his pitch is that aggressive.
Seo Dong-wook is at bat.
STRIKE
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
WHACK!
-Okay.
-He hits.
Seo Dong-wook makes another hit.
He's a good hitter.
The game feels stuck,
so they need to make a hit like this.
WE NEED TO LEAD THE GAME
He swings and misses!
-He swings and misses! He falls.
-Strike.
Strikeout.
Pitcher Choi Yun-seo struck out
five out of seven hitters.
Today, we see again
that Dong-eui has monstrous pitchers.
-Starting with Jeong Seong-hoon.
-Strike!
-Strike!
-Ryu Hyun-in.
And Park Yong-taek.
Following Jung Eui-yoon,
Lee Hong-ku was struck out too.
As you see, he swung and missed.
Yes, that's right.
I said that the strongest enemy
was preparing to redeem themselves today.
So far, Dong-eui is truly
CK Monsters' strongest enemy.
THE STRONGEST ENEMIES PERSONIFIED
After you wait--
Jeez, it's a hit.
Kim Moon-ho hits.
Center-right. It's a hit.
Seo Dong-wook reaches second base.
CK Monsters' Kim Moon-ho makes a hit.
THE GENIUS BATTER IS BACK
THAT'S A GREAT HITTER
Only one out count left.
It's two outs with runners
on first and second bases.
The runners will run to third
and home as soon as there's a hit.
They have to run no matter what.
GENIUS HITTER
JEONG SEONG-HOON IS AT BAT
Seong-hoon is up.
YUN-SEO AND SEONG-HOON MEET AGAIN
It's a fight between Jeong Seong-hoon
and Choi Yun-seo.
He hits the first pitch.
SO CLOSE
He swung so hard for it.
Jeong Seong-hoon is very good
at going after a pitch.
-He went after the first pitch.
-Nice pitch.
-Strike.
-It was in the strike zone.
WOW…
GOOD JOB, MY BOY
WOW…
It's a fastball at 140km/h.
You can't hit that ball.
(NODDING)
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Everything depends
on Jeong Seong-hoon's bat.
WILL YUN-SEO THROW A BALL
OR GO HEAD-TO-HEAD?
He swings and misses. Strikeout!
YUN-SEO NEVER STEPS BACK
NICE PITCH
It's a slider.
THE MONSTERS FAILED TO SCORE
Three strikeouts. Pitcher Choi Yun-seo
finishes this inning himself.
The score is still three to two.
The Monsters are still chasing.
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Is it another strikeout? A slider?
He's cool.
He's a really good pitcher.
A star is born. Choi Yun-seo is good.
All right.
It's the second half. One point at a time.
We'll keep scoring one at a time, okay?
-Let's push them. Let's go.
-Yes, sir.
BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
-The hitter is coming.
-Okay.
You can stop him.
We'll stop them here and start again.
It's the first hitter Park Jae-seong.
NUMBER FIVE BATTER
PARK JAE-SEONG IS AT BAT
BALL
JAE-SEONG WATCHES THE FIRST PITCH
Hee-kwan, cheer up!
CAREFUL
Hit-by-pitch.
-Okay.
-Hit-by-pitch.
-It's a hit-by-pitch.
-Yes.
GO ON BASE
-Okay.
-Okay.
He doesn't pull back.
Yoo Hee-kwan in CK Monsters' uniform
let two lead-off batters walk,
one after another.
I don't really remember
anything like this happening.
-There has never been a game like this.
-No.
I wanted to help the team.
It was an unacceptable situation
even for myself.
LET'S SEE…
SEUNG-JUN, WON-SAM, HEE-KWAN
SIGHING
-Dae-eun.
-Yes, sir.
Get ready for the seventh.
Hee-kwan isn't well today.
The seventh inning. Not this inning.
Don't be nervous.
Hee-kwan is pitching
with a runner on base.
NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.
BATTER NUMBER 6 YOON JUN-HO
ANOTHER HIT AND RUN?
He hits. It's a line drive.
Pitcher catches it.
The ball is sent to first base.
The runner is out on first base,
so two outs.
First base runner
Park Jae-seong is also taken out.
Yoo Hee-kwan puts out the fire.
-Okay!
-Good!
YOU'RE SO COOL, YOO HEE-KWAN
Yoo Hee-kwan!
We could've finished the game.
IF IT WAS A HIT,
THE GAME WOULD'VE BEEN FINISHED
(SAD)
He's so quick at switching
from offense to defense.
That's how he won
over 100 games in the KBO.
That's right.
A PITCHER OF 100 WINS
He threw it to first base with full power.
-Yes.
-He does that sometimes.
He throws at full speed
when he gets angry.
That's probably about 128km/h.
Why me…
Why is he taking it out on me?
Are you okay?
FUMING
I've played a lot of games,
but I really didn't want to let them
hit my pitch today.
I didn't want to lose any more points
since I lost that point.
I was very determined,
so I tried to focus more.
I guess my pitch
reflected that determination.
Son Si-hu. A ground ball.
Shortstop catches it.
Shortstop Ryu Hyun-in.
-The runner is taken out on first base.
-Okay.
3 OUTS
-This inning could've been a crisis.
-Good job.
But Yoo Hee-kwan's perfect defense
ends the inning after only three hitters.
THAT WAS CLEAN
-We got it.
-We have the flow.
WE'VE TURNED THE TABLES
-Center.
-Yes, sir.
NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO SHOW THEM
Ryu Hyun-in of CK Monsters
will be at bat first.
If he gets on base,
Jeong Keun-woo, Lee Taek-keun,
and Park Yong-taek will follow.
FOLLOWED BY THE TOP BATTERS
The problem is that
they can't jump over Choi Yun-seo.
It's hard to hit when you've never
dealt with the pitcher before.
But it's different the second time.
WILL HYUN-IN GET ON BASE?
You need to go on base.
He pushes!
-Shortstop can't catch it.
-Okay!
The first hitter Ryu Hyun-in gets on base.
THE FIRST HITTER
HYUN-IN GOES ON BASE
-Now, the opening has begun.
-We got it.
You're all dead now.
Jeong Keun-woo is next.
Keun-woo, you have to hit.
There's no sign.
(I BELIEVE IN YOU)
(LET'S GO, KEUN-WOO)
If Keun-woo is out,
we can wait until Taek-keun.
THINKING WHEN
TO SUBSTITUTE A PITCHER
Manager Jung and Coach Chong are keeping
-Shin Seung-yun until last.
-Yes.
It was great
because Yun-seo unexpectedly pitched well.
But he's feeling more pressure
as the inning progresses.
Because Hyun-in is on base,
from now on,
when to change the pitchers
is very important.
STRIKE
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Take it easy.
-He swings.
-Jeez.
He swings. Two strikes.
YUN-SEO IS TOUGH
SUDDENLY THE COUNT
BECAME UNFAVORABLE
There are a lot of balls.
Here we go!
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
FOUL
He called it a foul.
THANK GOODNESS
Look. Here,
the ball touched the bat.
If the ball was caught,
it would've been a foul tip, strikeout.
He couldn't strike Jeong Keun-woo out,
-so he'll have regrets.
-Right.
Catcher Yoon Jun-ho
places the mitt outside.
It's a high breaking ball.
-It's still one ball, two strikes.
-Okay.
The count is favorable to Yun-seo.
One ball, two strikes. Jeong Keun-woo.
It's another high breaking ball.
Jeong Keun-woo holds back
on the dropping pitch.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
YUN-SEO IS SHAKING ALL OF A SUDDEN
GROANING
He held back on three pitches
when it was two strikes.
KEUN-WOO MADE IT A FULL COUNT
Get ready for the runner and the hitter.
Okay.
Right now, the Monsters
are the most focused.
REQUESTING A TIMEOUT
He requests a timeout.
Jeong Keun-woo asked for a timeout
when Jun-seo got ready to pitch.
Hitter Jeong Keun-woo is very good
at taking the upper hand.
Now, it's a full count.
HE PULLS IT TOGETHER AGAIN
-Jeong Keun-woo hits!
-Here!
-The ball is slow.
-Here we go.
-Hurry!
-Run!
-Run!
-Hurry up!
THE BALL FALLS AMBIGUOUSLY
The ball is slow.
HE SLIDES HEAD FIRST.
WHAT'S THE RESULT?
He slides head first.
-He's out on first base.
-Is he out?
-It looks like he's safe.
-Okay.
He knows that he can cheer the team up
by getting on base at this time.
That's why this legendary player
dove like that.
-You rarely make a dive on first base.
-Right.
That was really amazing.
-All right, Keun-woo!
-Good job!
JEONG KEUN-WOO, YOU HAVE OUR RESPECT!
-Nice.
-Good job.
-Well done.
-Great.
-Good job.
-Nice. Keun-woo.
Jeez!
NICE RUN
It's one out.
The runner is on second base.
Are you tired?
-A little.
-I think you are.
Do you want to pitch one more
or do you want to stop?
I want to do one more.
-One more?
-Yes.
-Okay, go ahead.
-Yes, sir.
Throw hard. There's another pitcher.
-Be confident.
-Yes, sir.
-It's okay. Just pitch as usual.
-Okay.
-Because you're good.
-Yes.
Manager Jung visited the mound
and encouraged Yun-seo.
-Right.
-"You can finish this."
I think it's really cool.
One out. The runner is on second base.
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
Taek-keun, this is your chance.
Here we go. We've been waiting for this.
Taek-keun couldn't really hit today.
He could be upset.
But this is the biggest chance
he could have
-during this game.
-Yes.
WITH ONE HIT, THEY CAN CATCH UP
He hits the first pitch.
FOUL
TIMING
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
He hits the breaking ball.
FOUL
It's a foul. It's two strikes.
SIGHING
GOOD JOB
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
FOUL
-Come on.
-Good job.
Let's go.
SHOW THEM, TAEK-KEUN V
His confidence.
He wants to show that
he's more confident than anyone.
Taek-keun is after a tie.
Lee Taek-keun.
The count is at two strikes.
HE HITS!
He hits. It flies high.
-Shortstop and left fielder go after it.
-Go!
-Okay. It's good.
-It's a hit.
A HIT? AN OUT?
-Shortstop and left fielder go after it.
-Okay!
The left fielder!
He hits. It flies high.
-Shortstop and left fielder go after it.
-Go!
The left fielder! It falls!
The second base runner reaches
third base and home plate.
It's a hit that made a tie!
-He did it!
-Okay.
-Hyun-in, don't run!
-Okay!
WOW…
SCREAMING
SHOUTING
YELLING
We saw Taek-keun concentrate
with the second pitch.
A precious hit.
Did it skip off the bat
or have a good course?
No, it was a hit
because Taek-keun pulled it off.
Finally, Lee Taek-keun makes a tie!
The score is three to three.
TIMEOUT!
Yun-seo, good job.
-You pitched well.
-It was so close.
MANAGER JUNG DECIDES
TO SUBSTITUTE HIM
-Good job.
-Thank you.
This is it for pitcher Choi Yun-seo.
He couldn't take Lee Taek-keun out
in the seventh inning.
-The problem begins now.
-Seung-yun.
Pitcher Shin Seung-yun
is back on the mound.
(GULP)
HERE HE COMES…
IN THE 1ST ROUND,
SEUNG-YUN PUT ON
A STRIKEOUT SHOW
AGAINST THE MONSTERS
SIGHING
Another strikeout.
JEEZ… I FEEL LIKE
I'M BEING TOYED WITH
WHO IS THAT KID…
The inning is over without any points.
THE PITCHER
WHO MADE THE MONSTERS TREMBLE
CAPTAIN TAEK IS NOW AT BAT
The 5-6 hole.
1 OUT, 1ST BASE RUNNER TAEK-KEUN
WILL HE BE ABLE
TO STOP HIM TODAY TOO?
-Everyone, focus.
-Concentrate.
Will we win?
The game might be difficult.
-He hits the first pitch.
-Jeez.
-Okay.
-What?
JEEZ…
He hits the first pitch.
He hits the first pitch.
The pitcher catches it.
Second base and first base too.
One, four, three. It's a double play.
THE CAPTAIN FELL HELPLESSLY
SHIN SEUNG-YUN IS INSANE!
CK Monsters' offense is stopped here.
The new pitcher Shin Seung-yun
gets two out counts with one pitch.
The inning is over.
-It's the bottom of the seventh inning.
-How did he catch it?
HOW DID HE CATCH THAT…
(SNIFFING)
TRUDGING
The pitchers are doing well.
Now, it's the batters' turn.
-Okay?
-Yes, sir.
It's a new pitcher.
Yoo Hee-kwan is done.
BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound.
IT'S THE 4TH PITCHER RHEE DAE-EUN
Now is the chance, okay? Let's go.
NOW IS THE CHANCE!
(STARING)
They're tied.
If they play extra innings,
Shim Soo-chang is the only pitcher left.
It'll be good to stop him.
He has to pitch
as many innings as possible.
-Yes.
-Yes.
I went up there thinking
that I'll pitch three innings.
Jung Ung-chan is at bat.
Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound.
STRIKE
Nice!
NICE BALL
STRIKE
-Strike.
-It came in from the outside. Strike.
He's back!
A Clean Sweep
-aims to win all games.
-Yes, all games.
Rhee Dae-eun.
He hits. Second baseman
Jeong Keun-woo catches it.
First base. He's taken out.
1 OUT
Dae-eun will stop them
and Soo-chang will finish.
MANAGER LEE'S PLAN
WILL IT GO AS PLANNED…
An Hyeon-tae is at bat.
He had two hits in two at-bats today.
When he's at bat,
Dong-eui's game plays out really well.
So before Dae-eun takes Kang Jun-seo out,
he needs to take An Hyeon-tae out.
BALL
HYEON-TAE SCREENS THE BALL OUT
It goes toward the body.
It's loose. This is crazy.
He won't hit it.
THIS ISN'T IT…
He pulls the bat back from the bunt.
(THE BALL IS TOO…)
He makes three balls with that gesture.
There are players
that know how to play the game.
I think An Hyeon-tae is one of them.
AN HYEON-TAE IS THAT KIND OF PLAYER
Just hold back.
When I tried to pitch hard,
the ball fell out.
So I was half out of it.
It's three balls.
HE PITCHES FOUR BALLS STRAIGHT
-Let's go.
-That's four balls in a row.
Was it a ball?
SHALL I SUBSTITUTE SOO-CHANG…
He walks to first base.
Batter number nine An Hyeon-tae
got on base at every at-bat.
Today, the game is going Hyeon-tae's way.
This is actually
very threatening to the Monsters.
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
The problem begins now.
Kang Jun-seo and Heo Ji-won will follow.
These two batters can hit,
and they're great
at carrying out the tactics.
The score is tied at three to three.
BALL
Dae-eun's ball shouldn't be high.
He has to pitch low by all means.
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
Manager Jung let them be tied
at three to three.
He probably wants to win the game.
He pushes!
He pushes! It goes past second baseman.
KEUN-WOO THROWS HIMSELF,
BUT IT'S A HIT
It's a hit. One out.
The runners are on first and second bases.
He's a good hitter.
You know that it's a hit from the get-go.
Jeong Keun-woo can't lose today's game.
-He's determined to win.
-Of course.
That says a lot.
IT SHOWS HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT
An inning after another,
Dong-eui is making the Monsters tremble.
Today's game is really gripping.
-The first round was too.
-That's right.
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
CK Monsters are faced with another crisis.
It's one out,
so we can do the double play.
-The fastballs are all right.
-Okay.
If you pitch one at a time, it'll be fine.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
DAE-EUN AND HONG-KU
ARE AFTER A DOUBLE PLAY
A hit after four balls.
Dong-eui has two runners on bases.
Batter number two Heo Ji-won is at bat.
Ji-won.
Just hit what you can.
Don't hit the hard ones.
You just need to hit one.
I was mad. We had to win no matter what.
I was upset.
He swings at the first pitch.
Dae-eun threw a breaking ball
for his first pitch.
It's Dae-eun and Hong-ku battery.
Dae-eun's pitch
isn't at its full speed yet.
Anyway, his splitters are amazing.
That's right.
-Strike!
-It's an outside strike.
HE THROWS 2 STRIKES CALMLY
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
It's a match against
batter number two Heo Ji-won.
THERE'S ONLY ONE STRIKE LEFT
UNTIL AN OUT
HIT!
-Go!
-A ground ball!
-Dae-eun catches the ground ball!
-Go!
IS IT A DOUBLE PLAY?
-Okay!
-A ground ball!
-Dae-eun catches the ground ball!
-Go!
To second base, then to first base.
He's taken out on first base!
He calls out!
THE BATTERY'S STRATEGY WORKED
He calls out!
NICE DOUBLE PLAY
Pitcher Rhee Dae-eun makes a double play.
MANAGER JUNG
Timeout.
DONG-EUI REQUESTS AN INSTANT REPLAY
Dong-eui requests an instant replay
-right away.
-Out.
I think it's an out.
Dong-eui requested an instant replay.
Dae-eun induced a ground ball.
It's very close.
THE HITTER'S FOOT
REACHED THE BASE FIRST
He calls it safe.
(SATISFIED)
Is it safe?
WHACK!
It would've been nice if it ended there.
I had a year's worth of stress there.
Runners on bases at both sides.
2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD BASES
Seriously, let's win.
Yoo Tae-ung gets another chance.
Yes, he's the best hitter
of Dong-eui today.
Let's stop this one, Dae-eun.
Let's stop him! Dae-eun, let's go!
WITH A HIT,
DONG-EUI CAN TURN THE TABLES
Yoo Tae-ung made timely hits
at first and second at-bats.
TRYING TO STAY CALM
1ST BASE RUNNER IS ON 2ND BASE?
JI-WON TRIED TO STEAL A BASE
The first base runner reached second base.
With a hit, Dong-eui can score two points.
That's right.
I'm nervous.
(HEADACHE)
He has to overcome this crisis.
WILL DAE-EUN OVERCOME THE CRISIS?
He is currently
the best hitter in Dong-eui.
What?
-What?
-He hits it.
He swings.
He hits it. The batted ball
goes near the center fielder.
A HIT NEAR THE CENTER FIELDER
Third base runner gets on home base.
KEEP GOING
Second base is going for the home base!
WE CAN'T ALLOW TWO POINTS!
-Go!
-Over here!
WILL HE MAKE IT TO HOME BASE?
Come on!
OUT?
SAFE?
Second base is going for the home base!
-He makes it!
-Safe!
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
An RBI double by Tae-ung!
Three hits with four RBIs
in a single game.
That impressive record was made
by Tae-ung.
THE MAN WHO TURNED THE GAME AROUND
IT'S A FESTIVAL IN DONG-EUI'S DUGOUT
Tae-ung, great job.
Darn it.
His swing had guts.
The pitch was far and low.
But Tae-ung managed to make this happen.
Yoo Tae-ung!
ABOUT TO LOSE 1 LIFE OUT OF 10
Seriously, Tae-ung!
He is quite good though.
His swings are different.
-He's very skillful.
-I agree.
Because there's a runner on second base,
a hit can result in a point.
Rhee Dae-eun must stay focused.
A SERIES OF CRISES OF ALLOWING RUNS
Lee Jin-seok is up.
Dong-eui is already two points ahead.
They are also in scoring position,
so if they allow two hits in a row,
-they may not be able to recover.
-Right.
BALL
Okay, you're doing great!
You've improved so much!
Stay focused on the ball.
HE HITS!
Run for home base.
-Left.
-Left side.
Keep going.
Okay. Nice.
3 OUTS
DAE-EUN MANAGED TO STOP
THE WORST FROM HAPPENING
The score is five to three.
Dong-eui gets ahead by two points!
-We can get two points.
-Of course.
This is the first game
Dae-eun allowed a run.
It's five to three, and again,
we must catch up to them by two points.
DAE-EUN IS AT THE DUGOUT IN SILENCE
My feelings were all mixed up.
And I allowed two runs and came in.
That itself made me upset.
But this doesn't just affect me.
I'm not the only one being
punished for it.
It's a team game.
So the punishment doubles.
THE PRESSURE OF TEAM SPORTS
Let's pitch the next inning too.
(JUST PITCH A FASTBALL)
I'm not confident right now.
-In fastballs.
-Why?
Pitching isn't the problem.
But they keep hitting to the left.
-That makes you lose momentum.
-Indeed.
THE EXPERT ON LOSING MOMENTUM
It's the bottom of the eighth inning.
BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
CK MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
They must get two points
to catch up again.
The show won't be fun
if you lose like this.
We have two more innings to go.
-We still have a chance!
-Two chances!
-Let's catch up!
-Let's go!
Let's start off with Eui-yoon!
BUT IT'S THE UNDEFEATED
SHIN SEUNG-YUN
HE HITS!
-This is it!
-Let's go!
He hits the ball.
First baseman gets the ball.
The pitcher comes to first base,
and he's out.
GROUND BALL
ONE OUT
5 OUTS LEFT UNTIL THEIR FIRST LOSS
NEXT BATTER HITS A GROUND BALL
He hits it.
The ball goes near second base.
Second baseman throws to first.
Two ground balls.
2 OUTS
4 OUTS LEFT UNTIL THEIR FIRST LOSS
Seung-yun went against three batters
on the mound.
But they all hit ground balls.
CK Monsters came into this game
with a winning streak of four games.
But they are having a tough time
compared to the last game.
Next up is Hong-ku.
-Come on, Hong-ku!
-Let's go!
STRIKE
-Nice pitch!
-A perfect pitch.
I feel like we're going to win today.
From a right-handed batter,
the ball was far from him.
-But it was a strike.
-That's his trademark.
In the first game,
batters had trouble hitting his ball.
He's good at throwing those pitches.
BOUNCES OFF
A hit-by-pitch.
NICE
Great work.
He gets hit by the ball a lot.
HONG-KU, THREE HITS-BY-PITCH
HE BOWS
Seung-yun takes off his hat
and greets Hong-ku.
But in this situation,
they shouldn't be
allowing runners to get on base.
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
Moon-ho is up next.
Moon-ho's swings are on point today.
Moon-ho is feeling good today.
I wonder how he'll do
as a left-handed batter
against Seung-yun.
But in today's match,
Moon-ho is feeling great.
You have to trust his feeling today.
-Okay!
-Ball.
Moon-ho. Stay close to the box.
-I feel like something is going to happen.
-I see some fog coming.
Something is coming!
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COMING THOUGH
-It's here!
-He hits it!
Toward third base. The ball bounces!
THE BALL BOUNCES UP
IN FRONT OF THIRD BASE
The ball slips away.
-Nice!
-Let's go!
Nice job!
Hong-ku to third base.
The batted ball is a hit.
Moon-ho has three hits this game.
Is it a hit?
-It's a hit.
-Okay. Make it a hit, please.
The stadium has artificial turf.
There's a border between the turf
and the mound.
The ball landed there making
the ball bounce.
WHY THERE?
Moon-ho got a lucky hit.
-That's right.
-It's coming.
It's coming to us now!
I told you I saw some fog!
I feel a triple run coming.
-I can feel it.
-Really?
A chance to run after two outs.
Jeong Seong-hoon is up next.
So many chances,
but I haven't batted in a while.
SEONG-HOON HAD A CHANCE TO TURN
THE GAME AROUND IN THE 2ND INNING
AN RBI THAT TURNED THE GAME AROUND
HE TAKES THE CHANCE
LIKE A BATTING GENIUS
I feel the points coming in.
I feel it.
SEONG-HOON, JUST ONE MORE TIME
I don't like Seong-hoon!
HE DOESN'T LIKE SEONG-HOON
MANAGER JUNG CHANGES
THE POSITIONS OF THE DEFENSE
HE HITS!
The first pitch is hit!
It's a slow ground ball.
First baseman catches it.
First baseman gets it and tags first base.
Three outs.
NICE DEFENSE
A chance after two outs,
but it did not result in a run.
The top of the eighth inning now.
Why is a chance to score always on me?
Darn it.
THEY ACT AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED
We just need one more run
to end this game.
-Okay?
-Yes, sir!
We can do it. Let's go. One point!
-Let's go.
-One, two, three!
WE'RE GOING TO WIN TODAY
Now the game continues.
It's Dong-eui's turn to attack now.
CK Monsters has only one offense left.
That's why they cannot allow a single run.
They must defend and hope for a miracle.
Like you said, Dae-eun has to pitch well.
He has to pitch three ups, three downs.
But the inning before this,
he allowed two runs
for the first time in the show.
His ERA isn't perfect anymore.
Rhee Dae-eun.
TILTING HIS HEAD IN ANXIETY
Dae-eun wasn't in his best condition
as soon as he was on the mound.
I was worried if he could pitch.
Dae-eun, come on!
Let's defend this inning!
Can Rhee Dae-eun defend this?
First up is Park Jae-seong.
The ball goes deep.
OUT OF THE ZONE
2 BALLS
He's starting to lose control.
If Dae-eun can't defend this,
Soo-chang is warming up now,
so it might be wise to change
Dae-eun out with Soo-chang.
He isn't able to pitch easily.
A hit-by-pitch!
HE SIGHS
CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED FOUR INNINGS
CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED ONE INNING
CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED TWO INNINGS
Timeout!
Good work.
Dae-eun is changed out.
Dae-eun wasn't able
to finish off the inning.
Shim Soo-chang takes the mound.
-Nervous?
-No, sir.
HE'S ACTUALLY NERVOUS
Good job, Dae-eun.
HIS TEAMMATES CHEER HIM UP
Well done.
It's fine. You did well.
HE TRUDGES IN DISAPPOINTMENT
(IT'S BEST
TO LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR NOW)
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid I won't be able to control
my pitches when I take the mound again.
Since I've joined the team,
nothing played out like I wanted.
My specialty was my pitching velocity.
But velocity was low.
It's not like I have
good ball control like Hee-kwan.
And I didn't even defend well.
I allowed runs.
I felt so tiny and futile.
I FEEL SO USELESS
I can't believe this.
This is what happens when all the players
aren't in their best conditions.
-Soo-chang will do well.
-I'm sure he'll defend.
Let's go for a double play.
-Let's get him out.
-We can do it!
THEY'RE READY
Soo-chang takes the mound.
Soo-chang is on the mound
with lots of pressure and a runner.
THE LAST PITCHER, SHIM SOO-CHANG
I hope they don't have another strategy.
HERE!
Back when he was a pro,
he defended a lot of dangerous situations.
-He's very experienced at this.
-Sure.
That's very true.
The team is in a tight spot.
That's why his first pitch is important.
But now he's facing Yoon Jun-ho.
He said he wants
CK Monsters to lose
when he's not on their team.
He wanted them to feel they lost the game
because he wasn't there.
That kind of passion
is a good quality for a player.
STRIKE
He misses!
He misses his swing
against a breaking pitch.
Nice pitch.
ANYONE WILL MISS THIS KIND OF FALL
That was a great pitch.
HE HITS IT!
He hits a high pitch.
It's flying near the left-fielder.
He catches the ball.
NICE, SOO-CHANG
1 OUT!
A double play, please!
Next up is Cho Won-bin.
A good hit!
It's between the center and the left.
He catches it!
Eui-yoon catches the ball.
Two outs!
-Nice catch!
-We can do this!
Just one more out!
Jung Ung-chan, the eighth batter, is up.
That was good. Nice pitch!
Soo-chang. You're a natural
at finishing up the game.
A natural.
SHIM SOO-CHANG, BORN TO BE
THE FIRST AND THE LAST PITCHER
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
STRIKE
He strikes him with a breaking pitch.
Nice pitch.
Nice!
It doesn't matter if the ball hits
and ends up in the outfield.
The pitcher just needs to defend.
Soo-changed managed to get two outs.
-It's quite amusing.
-That's right.
I really hope
that Soo-chang can defend well
when CK Monsters is in a tight spot.
Just one more out.
Strikeout looking!
THE IMMORTAL FIRST PITCHER
SOO-CHANG IS BACK
THERE YOU GO!
The inning is over.
Soo-chang rescues the team
from a tight spot!
He didn't lose any points this inning.
The game continues to the last inning.
-Nice pitching.
-Let's take it slow.
We can do this.
We have to turn the game around.
Make me a winning pitcher!
-Is Hyun-in up first?
-Yes.
You just need to get on a base, Hyun-in.
Please, get on a base.
CK Monsters. You can do this.
Hyun-in, stay close to the box
and don't hit the close pitches.
-Whether it's a fastball or not.
-Yes, sir.
You must not step far away.
Go for the 5-6 hole.
BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
This may be
the last three chances they have
before the game ends.
If they can't catch up,
the game will end
on the bottom of the ninth inning.
And Seung-yun, the undefeated pitcher,
still takes the mound.
HE CALLS THE PITCHER
Focus on your every single pitch.
Please.
PLEASE, HYUN-IN
IF HYUN-IN GETS ON A BASE,
NEXT IN THE LINE ARE THE TOP BATTERS
WE TRUST YOU, HYUN-IN!
He hits the first pitch!
He hits the first pitch!
Between first and second base!
This is it!
WE HAVE OUR FAITH IN YOU.
OUR YOUNGEST PLAYER IS THE BEST!
Hyun-in goes for the first pitch
and hits the ball.
Man. He's a good baseball player.
What an excellent swing.
He refused to play mind games
with the pitcher.
That's right.
That hit was possible
because of his confident swing.
Keun-woo is up next.
-It's our turn now.
-We got this.
Keun-woo!
Think about how you played in Beijing!
Keun-woo. Think about Beijing!
Beijing all of a sudden?
We have to win this, Keun-woo!
WE TRUST YOU!
Just stay calm and focus on your pitch.
In my opinion,
I think the fate of this inning
depends on Park Yong-taek.
-What?
-Oh!
It's a hit-by-pitch!
Keun-woo didn't dodge the ball.
No one expected this to happen.
DONG-EUI TEAM MEMBERS
ARE FEELING ANXIOUS
-No!
-Please!
HIS EYES ARE SHAKING
GO BEIJING OLYMPICS!
Beijing!
-Nice!
-The momentum is ours now.
-Come on!
-The ball doesn't even hurt.
A hit and a hit-by-pitch.
With two runners on bases,
this might lead to a tie.
Two runners with no outs.
The two-point difference
may not seem like much now.
Taek-keun.
-No bunts.
-Yes, sir.
Two point difference. No bunts.
-Don't even come into the dugout?
-Never.
MANAGER LEE ORDERS HIM
TO GO OFFENSIVE
Timeout.
Manager Jung is coming onto the mound.
Is he going to change pitchers right now?
Even if the batter hits,
you should not allow a hit-by-pitch.
HE TAKES THE BALL
-He's switching him out!
-We don't know what will happen now.
Shin Seung-yun ends his pitching here.
The pitcher will change!
Manager Jung's choice was Son Min-gyu.
I need information about him.
Starting pitcher in the last game.
HE DOESN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER
The guy that throws
low two-seam fastballs.
-I'll pitch with confidence.
-Really?
Yes, sir.
You're the ace of the team.
-Just be confident no matter what.
-Yes, sir.
This resolute decision
to switch out Seung-yun
as soon as he starts to shake.
This is admirable.
It's a harsh decision.
From his perspective, this guy
is a better choice than Seung-yun.
-The ace.
-I see.
Anyway, he's the ace.
Hyun-in is on second base.
Keun-woo is on first base.
3 OUTS BEFORE THE GAME ENDS
He hits it!
It's a fly ball. Right fielder moves back.
He catches it! Second base runner
couldn't run.
Darn.
1 OUT
NICE CATCH, JAE-SEONG
2 OUTS BEFORE THE GAME ENDS
The right fielder's shoulders.
-He's quite the catcher.
-Indeed.
If he moved just a little bit…
His shoulder movements are so great.
ALWAYS BECOMES EXTREMELY
SKILLFUL ON THE 9TH INNING
Park Yong-taek is up next.
TODAY: HITLESS, BA .286
It's about time he hits something.
If we lose this game today,
it's definitely my fault.
I was upset with myself.
I was enraged.
The first pitch is a ball.
FAR SIDE
BALL
Min-gyu's pitching style
is a three-quarters delivery.
This is difficult for the pitcher.
He has trouble calibrating
his pitch against Yong-taek.
That's right.
I smell a triple coming.
-It's here.
-He hits it!
-It's here.
-He hits it!
IS IT REALLY A TRIPLE?
-Hey, go!
-We did it.
HE SHOUTS IN SURPRISE
This is it! Run!
-Hey!
-Let's go!
CAN THEY TURN THIS GAME AROUND?
HE GASPS IN DESPAIR
DISAPPOINTED
My gosh.
JUN-HO IS SURPRISED
He hits it! The ball is flying!
Between right and center!
The ball is higher than the CF's height!
ALTHOUGH NOT A HOME RUN,
IT'S AN EXTRA-BASE HIT
MONSTERS 4 : 5 DONG-EUI
Third base.
SUDDENLY 3RD BASE?
A ground rule double?
THANK GOODNESS
When the ball leaves the fence,
the ground rule double is applied.
The batter and the runners
can only advance two bases.
That's right.
Although Hyun-in gets a run.
The first base runner
has to stop on third base.
-Darn!
-Why did that bounce over?
Darn it!
HE'S FURIOUS
What the hell is this?
-Keun-woo can't run!
-Darn it!
Not the best time to cheer, Captain.
Why did that go over?
WHY AM I BEING CRITICIZED
FOR HITTING AN RBI?
If it hit the top of the fence,
-Keun-woo would've come in.
-That's right.
But this hit only results in one run.
What the… Jeez.
HE'S FRUSTRATED
The score is four to five.
Only one point behind.
Two runners in scoring positions.
A hit can turn the game around.
This now depends on Jung Eui-yoon,
the fourth batter.
Today, Jung Eui-yoon
has no hits with four at-bats.
He has two strikeouts.
That's right.
-Let's go, Eui-yoon!
-It's about time you hit!
-Let's go.
-Please!
MVP is yours if you hit.
Show me what you got.
Infield is far away.
No one is marking.
Don't be too tense.
The first pitch is a ball far away.
-Okay!
-Nice.
Good.
(SWING THAT BAT STRONG AND FAST)
Eui-yoon swings the bat upwards.
Two-seam can be a dangerous card to play.
IT'S RISKY TO PITCH TWO-SEAM
AGAINST EUI-YOON
It bounces!
What a block!
JUN-HO'S SUPER SAVE
-Okay.
-Yes!
OH, NO…
-Jun-ho!
-How did he catch that?
Yes! Hey, you punk! That jerk.
Jun-ho is really good.
He's good.
How can he be so insensitive?
He shouldn't have blocked it.
STOP BEING TACTLESS
A blocking from Jun-ho that stopped a run.
This prevented not only one, but two runs.
That's true. It could've been
one out with a runner on third base.
That's right.
No one could've blocked that.
I always praise Jun-ho,
but this was extraordinary.
How did he manage to catch that?
The count is two and zero.
MONSTERS 4 : 5 DONG-EUI
First base is empty,
just throw with confidence.
HE FEELS ANXIOUS
EVEN AFTER ADVISING HIM
All right.
His swing might hit the drone.
Take that drone down.
A hit-by-pitch!
HIT-BY-PITCH
Then…
now the bases are packed with runners.
THE BATTER WHO WILL SWING
AT THIS GOLDEN CHANCE
Dong-wook!
-This is it.
-Yes, sir.
PROFESSOR SEO DONG-WOOK!
I hoped that he'd get a chance
like this, and he did.
Dong-wook, you must let them run.
The bases are full.
Dong-wook, the fifth batter, is up.
-He's trying to play mind games.
-It's outside the zone.
-Nice!
-Okay!
The pitcher is shaking up.
Play offensive.
He's really tense. You can feel it, right?
If you think about it,
the first home run was hit
-by Seo Dong-wook.
-Seo Dong-wook.
Who hit the last ball last game?
Seo Dong-wook.
Seo Dong-wook contributed to every
playmaking that led to the team's victory.
And the home run turned the game around.
What kind of results will he bring?
Another ball far from the zone.
He's patient.
NICE EYES!
PLEASE HIT THE NEXT ONE
Go to the center!
The count is two and zero.
Dong-wook has some counts left.
So he won't swing if the pitch isn't his.
No strike again.
Three balls!
HE'S HAPPY
We're finally back!
HE EXCLAIMS IN JOY
Min-gyu starts to tense up again.
Dong-eui played so well today,
and the pitchers threw so well too.
But the situation isn't so great.
It's one out with full bases.
And Dong-wook is the batter.
I MUST PITCH A STRIKE NOW
Just swing that bat.
It'll be a ball!
WHAT WILL BE HIS DECISION?
It goes far! It's another ball!
HE SIGHS
OH, NO
FRUSTRATED
PROFESSOR SEO
MAKES ANOTHER GOOD PLAY
AS EXPECTED, PROFESSOR SEO
LET'S CHEER FOR HIM
The ninth inning of CK Monsters
had us all on our toes.
The score is evened out!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
-Come on!
-Nice!
PATS ON HIS BACK
-Nice.
-Great job.
-Come here!
-Yes!
Monsters turn the game
back into five to five.
The game restarts now.
This match is unbelievable.
They turned the game into a tie
against the ace of the university league.
How about Jun-seon?
Just one more. One more batter.
He can't come down yet.
Not enough strikes.
He only got one batter out.
You're powerful, so get closer.
Get closer. It's a tie anyway.
All bases loaded.
All bases loaded!
Hong-ku, finish him.
"Finish him"?
Lift it up, Hong-ku.
(NO GROUND BALL)
It doesn't look good, watch out.
First pitch, ball.
NICE START!
-It's a ball!
-Good.
Nice catch, Hong-ku.
He lost with his first pitch.
That means the pitcher will now
throw in the dead center.
Right.
Lee Hong-ku has a great swing.
HE MUST GO FOR THAT!
Make a hit!
-Lee Hong-ku!
-Lee Hong-ku!
1 OUT, FULL BASE
Think of it as practice and swing.
JUST BRING 2 PEOPLE IN, HONG-KU
-Lee Hong-ku!
-Lee Hong-ku!
He hits. The pitcher catches.
THE BATTED BALL SLIDES BACK
INTO THE PITCHER'S GLOVE
Hey, he can get two.
-Run.
-Darn it.
Goodness, Hong-ku.
-Run quickly!
-Run faster!
The pitcher catches.
The second base. And the first.
He gets the first too. A double play.
That's it!
NICE DOUBLE PLAY!
DONG-EUI DIDN'T LOSE ANOTHER POINT
FLOPS DOWN
Darn it.
What was that?
A DOUBLE PLAY?
That was something
we shouldn't be seeing now.
WE HAD A CHANCE TO TURN IT AROUND
Come on, Hong-ku.
GROANING
The inning ends like this.
CK Monsters stop once again at a tie.
Five to five, a tie.
And the game continues
to the bottom of the ninth.
GOING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH
This is fun.
Let's get to defense. Fielding.
Why did that fly toward the pitcher?
Man, this isn't good.
WE HAVE NO PITCHER…
Now, they don't have a pitcher.
We're at an advantage
even if we play an extra inning.
Okay, let's play one last time. Okay?
-Let's go.
-Let's go!
LET'S BAT ONE LAST TIME!
We didn't think
the bottom of the ninth would come.
We're out of pitchers.
CK Monsters have no one
after Shim Soo-chang.
ONE POINT WILL DECIDE
Will CK Monsters win today?
Will they face their first defeat?
Everything is on Shim Soo-chang.
Yes, and regardless of that,
here's what happened now.
They played hard and created a tie,
but it didn't end too well.
Baseball is all about the flow.
Dong-eui thought they'd lose a point.
However, it ended before that.
-Soo-chang, pitch as if we're losing.
-Yes.
It's pressing to think we're winning.
Of course, I thought I should pitch
to play the extra inning.
All I thought about was
to stop them in this inning.
Stop them at all costs.
That batter is up first again.
He went out 100 percent today.
An Hyeon-tae.
He'll definitely try to hit a bunt.
The first batter hits well,
so he should strike him out first.
MONSTERS GET READY
FOR THE FINAL FIELDING
First pitch. A breaking ball. A strike.
-Okay.
-Okay, good.
Good.
NICE START!
-You can stop him!
-Stop them and come!
Let's stop them!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
SWING AND MISS
STRIKE
He follows the ball and swings.
Two strikes.
Okay!
Good, okay!
HE'S AT AN ADVANTAGE
Hyeon-tae, contact the ball!
Shim Soo-chang got up from the eighth,
and he's throwing at ease,
showing his elegance as the ace.
Although he's at two strikes,
he can't go easy on An Hyeon-tae.
Think, Hyeon-tae.
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
The count is one and two.
-Strike.
-An accurate pitch on the outside.
HE STOPS HIM WITH PERFECT PITCHES
Strikeout.
NICE, SOO-CHANG
Come back!
SOO-CHANG BRINGS
THE GAME BACK TO THEM
BITTER…
After the first game,
Shim Soo-chang didn't do so well
during the last game.
It looks like
he came prepared for this one.
His pitch was perfect.
They gave us the game.
Dong-eui just gave us the game.
Baseball is all about the flow.
Shim won't let them have it.
HIS PERFECT PITCH SIGNALS HIS RETURN
1 OUT, NO RUNNERS
Kang Jun-seo is at bat now.
He recorded a three-base hit
against Shim Soo-chang in the last game.
HIS BOLD IMPRESSION STILL LINGERS
1ST GAME AGAINST DONG-EUI
FIRST BATTER
IT'S A HIT!
Center-left.
It drops right before the fence.
JUN-SEO MADE A THREE-BASE HIT
AGAINST SOO-CHANG
These two face each other again.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
First pitch, a ball.
JUN-SEO HELD BACK WELL
WITHOUT GETTING FOOLED
SOO-CHANG, PLEASE…
IT'S A BATTLE OVER THEIR PRIDE
I'LL STOP HIM THIS TIME
IT'S A HIT!
He hits.
Man, come on.
He got it.
NO WAY, AGAIN?
He hits. Center-left.
It drops clean.
Kang Jun-seo reaches
the second base again.
-Man.
-He'll go to the third.
JEEZ, HE'LL GO TO THE THIRD…
Kang Jun-seo reaches
the second base again.
Dong-eui University creates
yet another long hit.
He's Kang Jun-seo,
Shim Soo-chang's natural enemy.
-Great job!
-Yes!
JOY AND SORROW
After this game airs, I think
Kang Jun-seo will become a star.
There's no one
who plays as well as he does.
His batting is amazing.
He made three hits today.
No, throw in the bunt, and it's four hits.
KANG JUN-SEO'S EVERY HIT
BECOMES AT LEAST A SINGLE
We can't keep the flow without scoring.
They got the flow.
Keep an eye out.
JUN-SEO IS THE FINAL RUNNER
HIS TEAM WILL LOSE
ONCE KANG JUN-SEO COMES IN
Let the back go. Just the front.
Let the back go. Just the front.
Here's why we're doing this.
If our defense is in the back,
Kang Jun-seo will come in
-because he's fast.
-Yes.
He brings the defense in to prevent that.
A QUICK MEASURE
AGAINST A QUICK RUNNER
We can't help it.
We can't catch it if it flies back.
AN AGGRESSIVE MEASURE
The runner is on the second,
so do you know
what Shim Soo-chang must do?
He must stop Heo Ji-won.
Here's the reason.
He needs to eliminate Yoo Tae-ung.
He must be ready to make tough pitches
to make it hard for him to hit.
So he must strike out the batter
who comes before him.
The fifth and the last pitcher
of CK Monsters, Shim Soo-chang,
Make it difficult.
FIRST PITCH
STRIKE
First pitch, a strike.
OKAY!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
The second pitch went out a little.
-Hey!
-Good pitch.
SO CLOSE…
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
Soo-chang, eyes on the runner.
He wants to run.
JUN-SEO BROADENS HIS LEAD
3RD PITCH, ONCE AGAIN
BALL
Pitch lightly.
SHAKEN WITH PRESSURE
The first is empty.
A low one.
Two balls, one strike. Shim Soo-chang.
It flies outside.
-Okay.
-He pitched three balls.
He's falling behind now.
He must pitch and win now.
Hit with confidence.
THIS IS OUR CHANCE
DETERMINED
Should I fill the first?
-Isn't that better?
-It's not a bad idea.
Let's just fill the first place.
INTENTIONAL WALK
HE WANTS TO FILL THE 1ST BASE?
BUT YOO TAE-UNG IS UP NEXT
The balance was better than before.
I was confident.
But I wondered
if I'll fill the first or not.
That's what I wondered.
INTENTIONAL WALK OR HEAD-TO-HEAD
WHAT WILL SOO-CHANG DO?
(MOVES OUT)
INTENTIONAL WALK
BALL
SOO-CHANG FILLS THE 1ST BASE
-He pitched out on purpose.
-He did.
WE ACTUALLY LOVE IT!
-It's better to fill it up.
-Yes, it's better.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE GAME?
One out, runners on first and second.
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES
The catcher walked out,
and the pitcher threw the ball
way outside of the box.
Yes, he made that choice
in this situation.
But up next is today's best batter.
Yoo Tae-ung came three times
in scoring positions
with three hits and four RBIs today.
Hit it. Stay confident. Do it, Tae-ung.
ENDLESS TRUST
He's the best batter.
WILL THIS WORK?
I only wanted to make two outs at once.
No matter what happens,
I wanted to make a double play.
THE FINISHING RUNNER
GIVES HIM PRESSURE FROM THE BACK
The batter is up.
One out, runners at first and second.
His first pitch bounced outside.
HE RUSHED AND PITCHED OUTSIDE
TAE-UNG, LET'S GO!
Let's get two!
SOO-CHANG, PLEASE…
What Shim Soo-chang must do is
throw as low as he can
and break the ball at the tip.
He must throw a splitter
to create a ground ball.
Let's take it slow.
-You're rushing again.
-Okay.
Let's take it slow.
Relax and take it slow.
HE CATCHES HIS BREATH ONCE AGAIN
First pitch, a ball. Shim Soo-chang.
He hits the second pitch. It's a foul.
2ND PITCH
FOUL
Let's do a double play!
Focus!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
-Strike.
-It comes in near the torso.
-Strike.
-It comes in near the torso.
The pitcher's perfect strike.
THE COUNT IS
TO SOO-CHANG'S ADVANTAGE
A light swing will send it far.
They're close.
Hit lightly.
BRACES HIMSELF
The count is in favor of the pitcher.
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
HE MUST STRIKE HIM OUT
Shim Soo-chang.
He pitches toward his torso.
He runs again.
HE HIT!
He pitches toward his torso.
He runs again.
The third baseman goes in.
A PERFECT CHANCE FOR A DOUBLE PLAY!
The third baseman catches. To the second.
DARN IT
YES!
WILL IT…
He did it.
BECOME A DOUBLE PLAY?
MISSED THROW
THE BALL FLIES AWAY!
He catches. To the second.
The ball flies out as he runs.
JUN-SEO, LET'S GO!
No.
OH NO…
ONE MISTAKE CREATED THIS CATACLYSM
Darn it.
And the runner continues.
He returns home!
MONSTERS 5 : 6 DONG-EUI
The game ends!
CK Monsters record
their first loss like this.
JUN-SEO SCORES AND ENDS THE GAME
GREAT JOB, DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY
We should've won with a single.
We should've won with a single.
IT'S A FESTIVAL
Why did you throw it at me?
Why did you throw it at me?
-Come on, team.
-You're the best scorer.
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY
WINS THE 2ND MATCH
JOY AND SORROW
We made a mistake and let them win.
The first loss of CK Monsters feel
even harsher and more painful.
UNBELIEVABLE MISTAKE,
UNBELIEVABLE FIRST LOSS
SHIM SOO-CHANG
Good game.
-Good game.
-Good job.
Good game.
THEY HAD FORGOTTEN
WHAT A DEFEAT FELT LIKE
IT COMES RUSHING BACK TO THEM
Go to the side.
-Good game.
-Good game.
THEY SHARE A GOODBYE AS LOSERS
FOR THE FIRST TIME
-Great job.
-Good game.
-I knew it.
-You've done well.
Monsters ended up recording
their first loss today.
We won one and lost one against Dong-eui.
They have one last chance,
so they better come prepared.
CK Monsters lost for the first time
in their fifth game.
That's all for today.
Kim Sun-woo was the commentator.
I'm the caster, Jeong Yong-geom.
Go over to them as a group
and thank your seniors. Go as a group.
-Get closer.
-To your seniors.
-Say it loudly.
-Let's go.
Let's say it loudly.
Let us say goodbye.
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
Why don't you do it when you lose?
Seriously. They say thanks
only when they win.
THEY'RE THANKING US
ONLY AFTER WINNING
Man, this is so annoying.
THEY'RE TAKEN OVER WITH DEFEAT
THE GAME WAS SO FIERCE
THAT THEY'RE MORE DISAPPOINTED
MONSTERS 5 : 6 DONG-EUI
Darn it.
THE MONSTERS RETURN TO THE LOCKER
-Good game.
-This is so annoying.
I've lost many games in my career,
and I wondered
why losses always follow me.
I guess I lost my spirit too.
-Man.
-Good job.
In the end, he hit a ground ball
toward the third base as I planned.
But an unexpected twist
dropped in like that.
Well, I'm quite flustered.
But first, I won't make an excuse.
I didn't throw it well.
The game didn't end so well,
so I'm not sure
how it'll affect the next game.
I hope others aren't as affected by it.
-Good game.
-Good game.
I've lost so many times in my career,
but why is one loss so frustrating?
TODAY'S LOSS IS
EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING
I don't think I can express
how I feel in a nutshell.
It's just very embarrassing.
This is why we must win. That's sports.
Losers have nothing to say.
THEY FEEL DESPERATE TO WIN
THE AIR IN THE LOCKER ROOM
IS FROZEN COLD
I'm very annoyed.
Very much.
Although I'm retired now,
I realized that I'm still burning inside
and I despise losing.
I realized that once again.
I'm furious at our loss.
I'm even more furious
because it's mostly my responsibility.
And I'm even angrier
because this is all I can do.
WIN, YOU LEARN A LITTLE,
BUT LOSE, YOU CAN LEARN EVERYTHING
A QUOTE BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON
Why did you end up losing again?
-Exactly. Man.
-Just let me have it.
I'll take it. It's mine.
THE MONSTERS HAVE GONE CRAZY
AND EXHAUSTED AT THEIR LOSS
The last seat.
DOWN…
It's cold today.
It's cold.
ONLY SILENCE FILLS THE CLOSING SHOOT
We usually begin by clapping.
WE USUALLY BEGIN BY CLAPPING…
Okay.
We can't go to Hawaii anymore.
Hawaii.
SUDDENLY? HAWAII?
WHEN THE MONSTERS TALKED
ABOUT WINNING EVERY SINGLE GAME
IF WE WIN ALL 30 GAMES,
WE SHOULD AT LEAST GO TO HAWAII…
WHAT DID I SAY I'LL DO
IF YOU WIN 24 GAMES?
OKINAWA
IF YOU WIN 30 GAMES,
WE'LL GO TO HAWAII!
ALOHA, OH YEAH
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
HE'LL BRING STRONGER OPPONENTS
FROM NOW ON!
THEY WERE THRILLED
AT THE THOUGHT OF HAWAII
THEY HAVEN'T EVEN LEFT SONGDO
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME…
Let's go to Sydney.
ALL OF A SUDDEN
-Australia.
-Stop.
That's enough.
-He tries hard.
-What's he saying?
Let's go to Australia
and catch a kangaroo.
You're the losing pitcher. Be quiet.
YOU'RE THE LOSING PITCHER, BE QUIET
Why do losses always follow me?
Now, CK Monsters played
a total of five games.
You now record four wins and one loss.
Your current winning average
is 80 percent.
Your average is 80 percent.
We won't do the closing for long.
Manager Lee?
Well, we did our best.
Today was the biggest crisis,
and we couldn't overcome it.
Because we lost once,
we can light up our vigor
one more time.
I just shared this with the players.
When you play sports,
we must always play and win
to smile after a game.
We felt that only winners get to smile.
So we'll come back prepared.
When we're back, we will make sure we win.
THEY'RE SERIOUS AGAIN
Can we laugh a little?
This is a variety show.
What do we do about this mood?
Let me share some good news.
Kim Moon-ho returns
to a batting average of .300.
CONGRATULATIONS,
MOON-HO A REGAINED BATTING AVERAGE OF .300
SURE, THAT SOUNDS VERY COOL…
FEELING AWKWARD
We won't shoot this discouraging moment.
Keep up your condition, and in two weeks,
you'll play the final round
against Dong-eui,
the third match.
We'll play here again, here at Songdo.
We'll play here.
Lastly, let's hear from the captain
as we move on to play the third round.
Well, I haven't felt this awful
in a while.
-I see.
-Yes.
I'm sure everyone did this interview
after the first game.
That they felt alive
and felt their heart race.
And we felt something else
after we lost today.
"I'm a baseball player. I'm an athlete."
We won't be even 0,01 percent joking
when we play the next round.
Why don't you bring it in once?
I know you don't feel well,
but let's change the mood.
LET'S GATHER TOGETHER
-We're still airing.
-What do we do?
-Make sure you come prepared.
-Yes, okay.
Here we go.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Okay.
-Let's win next time!
-Let's win next time!
-Please.
You must keep the series going.
Yes.
5 GAMES 4 WINS 1 LOSS
WIN PERCENTAGE .800
Kill it today.
Finish them.
The eyes and bats
of CK Monsters have changed.
Good. It'll be a dirty game today.
THE FINAL
THE LAST BATTLE
Let's go!
Go!
CK Monsters won't show mercy
at this moment.
Darn it.
CK MONSTERS HAS GOTTEN STRONGER
Have CK Monsters always been like this?
BUT THEY'RE UP AGAINST DONG-EUI
-Right fielder.
-Run quickly!
He can't catch it!
You can't lose today.
He catches!
BOTH TEAMS PLAY
WITH THEIR EVERYTHING
Seriously, come on.
WHO'LL WIN IN THE END?
Two outs, full base, and a full count.
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
Be careful of his long hits.
Go.
CK MONSTERS VS DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

THE GAME IS BACK TO SQUARE ONE
ENTERING INTO
A DRAMATIC EXTRA INNING
He bunts.
DONG-EUI KEEPS AT IT TENACIOUSLY

THAT THEY'RE THE BEST
CK MONSTERS
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY IS
DETERMINED TO WIN
I'm here to win by all means.
-It's high.
-Forward!
-Catch it.
-He tries to catch, but he fails.
DONG-EUI DOESN'T MISS THE CHANCE
AND GRILLS THE MONSTERS
-Strike!
-It's a strike!
Strikeout looking.
NOW IS OUR CHANCE
He slides to reach home.
THE GAME ISN'T GOING EASILY
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE 2ND MATCH?
It's the top of the fourth inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.
CK Monsters could've totally had
the upbeat atmosphere.
But they allowed Dong-eui to catch up.
You can't say that it's bad,
but it's not a good situation.
So far, Cho Hyo-jun
has played the game well.
That's right.
It's the first batter Lee Hong-ku.
Lee Hong-ku.
-Good luck!
-Good luck!
I was a little concerned
because my parents were there.
All I could think about was
that I had to hit well.
He hits.
HE HITS!
It flies left.
Toward the fence!
It's a foul.
THE BALL GOES OVER THE LEFT FENCE
-Lee Hong-ku!
-Lee Hong-ku!
-It's too bad.
-That was close.
If a fly ball goes to the left today,
-the defense will be shocked.
-Yes.
Left fielder An Hyeon-tae
keeps saying, "wind."
He's saying that
the ball is getting blown away.
It keeps going farther.
-Yes.
-Look at the wind.
The trees in the back are swaying so much.
NERVOUS
That was a really scary hit.
-He hits a high pitch.
-Go.
It's toward the left fielder.
PLEASE
-Go!
-It's going.
-It's going.
-Go!
-It's going.
-It's toward the left fielder.
Behind the left fielder.
WHAT?
-It's going.
-It's going.
-It's going.
-Right in front of the fence.
The ball is caught.
Jeez. In front of the fence.
-There's no wind.
-Why is there no wind?
The wind should've been stronger.
-He's out.
-Too bad Hong-ku is out.
APPEARING WITH THE WIND
Because it was a close game,
I thought it shouldn't go like this.
Kim Moon-ho is at bat.
Another hit!
It's a high ball.
MOON-HO HOLDS BACK
He held back.
Good. Moon-ho, you have a good eye.
GOOD EYE
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
That's it.
Toward first base. It's a foul.
FOUL
MOON-HO HITS A GOOD PITCH
THAT WAS A GOOD SWING
MOVING
JUN-HO GUIDES AN OUTWARD PITCH
Kim Moon-ho holds back on the low ball.
3 BALLS
HYO-JUN STARTS TO LOSE
THE CONTROL OF THE PITCH
Dong-eui has to win today
-to have the third match.
-That's right.
The pitcher must not lose control today.
He has to throw a lot of strikes.
-Of course.
-He can't throw four balls.
Hyo-jun, don't let him hit.
Go head-to-head.
Pitcher Cho Hyo-jun needs a strike.
-Okay.
-Good.
HYO-JUN LETS THE BATTER WALK
NICE!
It's one out. A runner on first base.
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.
It's batter number eight,
Jeong Seong-hoon.
He has to fight this.
I WON'T LET HIM WALK THIS TIME
FOUL
JUN-HO IS HIT BY THE FOUL BALL
Catcher Yoon Jun-ho's thigh
was hit, not the guard.
-Our Jun-ho shouldn't be hurt.
-Let's go!
FORTUNATELY, JUN-HO ISN'T INJURED
Timeout.
A REQUEST FOR A TIMEOUT
-Good job. Your pitch…
-Yes.
-Did you throw a lot during practice?
-Yes.
Your pitch lost power. Good work.
He's visiting the mound.
This is it
for starting pitcher Cho Hyo-jun.
Will he replace him? He will.
He's replaced after one strike.
Pitcher substitutions are made.
Who will be the next pitcher?
SOLEMN
-Will you be okay?
-Yes.
There's Shin Seung-yun,
but Manager Jung chooses Choi Yun-seo.
-I think he's new.
-Yes.
A SECRET WEAPON COMES ON THE SCENE
Be confident.
Your pitch is really hard to hit.
Yes, sir.
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat. He hit a foul.
It's strike one
and there's been a pitcher replacement.
Choi Yun-seo has been substituted.
RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER CHOI YUN-SEO
He looks like a freshman.
STRIKE
A MENACING AND NAILING PITCH
When he releases the ball,
it feels very powerful.
I told you Song Seung-jun
had a good pitch.
-His pitch is better.
-I see.
He's amazing.
He's good.
What?
He has good control and he throws well.
I could feel that
he had good power and speed.
Choi Yun-seo looks brave on the mound.
He swings and misses! Strikeout!
THE GENIUS BATTER IS HELPLESS
Jeong Seong-hoon is struck out.
Now it's two outs.
A CLEAN STRIKEOUT
SIGHING
That was fast.
Is he the ace?
Is there another one?
Choi Yun-seo didn't play the last game.
No.
Manager Lee analyzed Shin Seung-yun.
Suddenly, Cho Yun-seo showed up.
Manager Lee looks nervous and flustered.
TOTALLY CONFUSED
Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
A college student Choi Yun-seo
is against Ryu Hyun-jin,
a college player of CK Monsters.
I'LL TEACH THE FRESHMAN
STRIKE
GOODBYE, SENIOR
NICE PITCH!
It was a slider this time.
This time, it was a breaking ball.
It was a fascinating four-seam
that turned into a slider
that seemed like a cut fastball.
It was great.
NERVOUS
STRIKE
-Strike!
-It came in low into the strike zone.
It was in, wasn't it?
-Yes.
-Yes.
The pitch was 139 km/h.
He's the best.
It was almost the fastest pitch
-at 140km/h.
-Strike!
It'll be hard to hit.
THE BALL COUNT IS FAVORABLE
TO THE PITCHER
-Strike!
-A breaking ball! Strikeout!
CHOI YUN-SEO SHATTERS
THE MONSTERS' CHANCE TO ATTACK
Strikeout!
DEVASTATED
YUN-SEO'S FORMIDABLE PITCH
Nice pitch.
GOOD JOB, MY BOY
Yun-seo.
Choi Yun-seo gets two strikeouts
against CK Monsters.
This inning is over.
ASTONISHED
He's good.
There are a lot of good pitchers.
Manager Jung did a great job.
It won't be easy to score points.
TOP OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
YUN-SEO IS STILL PITCHING
Jeong Keun-woo made two hits today.
I wonder how he'll hit Yun-seo's pitch.
Right.
Jeong Keun-woo
has played a lot of games abroad,
so he's quicker than anyone
when it comes to adapting to new pitchers.
The first pitch is low
and toward the hitter.
KEUN-WOO WATCHES THE BALL CAREFULLY
GOOD EYE
-Jeez.
-He hits.
The ball flies high to the right.
Right fielder
catches the ball in the back.
Jeez.
1 OUT
-Jeez.
-Keun-woo, how fast?
Is it around or over 130km/h?
It drops slightly in the end.
It's like an arm-style pitching machine.
LIKE THIS
NUMBER 2 BATTER TAEK-KEUN IS NEXT
He hesitates. He doesn't swing.
It's a strike.
Hesitating means that
he can't see if it's a four-seam
or a breaking ball.
Nice pitch.
Good job.
WE HAVE TO HIT THIS TIME…
He pulls. It flies to third base.
The third baseman catches it.
I GUESS HE CAN'T GET ON BASE…
The third baseman catches it
and throws it to first base.
The first baseman misses it.
Because of the mistake,
Lee Taek-keun gets on base.
HE GOT ON BASE?
Dong-eui is good at playing defense.
-That was a plain ground ball.
-Yes.
It's very regrettable.
-Nice pitch.
-He's good.
One out and runner on first base.
Number three batter
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
CAPTAIN TAEK IS AT BAT
All right. Yong-taek, let's go.
WE'VE GOT THIS, LET'S GO!
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
He swings.
YUN-SEO THROWS A STRIKE
THIS IS IT!
Is it tricky to hit?
His slider turns fast.
It comes at you like a fastball.
It's fast.
Choi Yun-seo's breaking ball
is a combination of a slider and a cutter.
This is really great.
I can tell just by looking.
Depending on the batter,
every pitch is slightly different.
They're all four-seam,
but they have more rotations.
Coach Chong trained him really well.
A MONSTROUS PITCHER
TRAINED BY COACH CHONG
All right, let's go.
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
-Jeez!
-Park Yong-taek swings at a low pitch.
JEEZ
-He was seeking to hit a pitch.
-Yes.
-Is he the ace?
-He's a freshman.
-He's good.
-Yes.
HE PITCHES WELL…
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
STRIKEOUT
He misses. It's a strikeout.
The runner is stuck.
HE STARTS RUNNING
(STOPPING)
No. Will he catch him?
Lee Taek-keun runs.
-He tries to tag him. He's out.
-Out!
3 OUTS
A strikeout
and a runner failed to steal a base.
CK Monsters'
top of the fifth inning ended in vain.
WHAT'S GOING ON…?
What's up with the atmosphere
all of a sudden?
How was Keun-woo taken out?
The right fielder caught his hit.
JEONG YONG-GEOM
STARTS TO GET NERVOUS
It's Yoo Hee-kwan right away.
THE BOTTOM OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI
-Are you all right?
-Yes.
Because they are tied,
the ace of CK Monsters
will start to pitch in the fifth inning.
A pitcher substitution.
Forget the in-course. Stick close.
-Watch out for the changeup.
-Yes.
THE MONSTERS RAISE THE STAKES
YOO HEE-KWAN IS THE DECIDING FACTOR
FOR BOTH TEAMS
Batter number nine An Hyeon-tae is at bat.
NUMBER 9 BATTER
AN HYEON-TAE IS AT BAT
-It's raining.
-It's raining.
It's slightly raining.
It's a match on a wet field.
THE FIELD IS FILLED
WITH A STRANGE FEELING
-Go for it.
-Hyeon-tae, hit it!
HE HITS!
He pulls. It goes toward
the left fielder. It's a hit.
NICE
-Go!
-Run!
The ball rolls along the line
and hits the fence.
The hitter reaches second base.
HYEON-TAE PUTS HIMSELF
IN A SCORING POSITION
-Two.
-Two.
He hit two today.
HYEON-TAE IS GOOD…
CK Monsters
are facing a crisis this inning.
THEY'RE ABOUT TO LOSE POINTS
NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE
A runner is on second base.
Number one batter Kang Jun-seo is at bat.
Yes.
GIVING SIGNS
Will he bunt?
He'll either surprise bunt or bunt.
-Let's go one at a time.
-Okay.
-If he bunts, throw it to third base.
-Okay.
-I'll throw it to third base 100 percent.
-Yes.
THE INFIELDERS MOVE UP
TO PREPARE FOR A BUNT
WILL HE BUNT AS PREDICTED?
A SURPRISE BUNT
He bunts.
I KNEW IT!
DONG-WOOK GOES TO 3RD BASE
The pitcher catches it. First base.
He misses it!
-He misses it!
-Hey!
IT'S A MISS
FLUSTERED
STOP!
RUN!
The runner reaches home!
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Dong-eui came back successfully.
The runner reaches home!
Dong-eui came back successfully.
(HEAD DOWN)
I should've stopped the hit
and thrown the ball with a focus.
IT'S UNLIKE HEE-KWAN
TO MAKE A MISTAKE
I lost focus.
Ace Yoo Hee-kwan let them turn the tables.
THE ACE LOSES A POINT
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Manager Lee must've expected a long inning
without losing any points
by having Hee-kwan pitch.
But this is quite regrettable.
You're right.
They let Dong-eui come back so easily.
Now it's three to two.
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
SIGNALING
LET'S GO WITH THE FLOW
AND SCORE MORE POINTS!
WE'RE READY
PREPARE FOR BUNT
INFIELDERS MOVE IN TO PLAY DEFENSE
The Monsters
shouldn't lose any more points.
That's right.
BUNT AND RUN
-It's another bunt!
-Go!
First baseman catches it.
-Second baseman covers the base.
-Go!
He's out.
Meanwhile, the runner reaches third base.
1ST BASE RUNNER RUNS TO 3RD BASE?
RUN
That's it! Run!
LET'S GET 2 OUTS!
SAFE
-Safe.
-He's safe on third base.
What?
OH…
Dong-eui's "one more base"
strategy is very scary.
Yes. That's what
Manager Jung wanted to do.
His strategy is working
extremely well in this inning.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Timeout! Umpire!
THE MONSTERS REQUEST
AN INSTANT REPLAY
Third base was runner was called safe,
and Manager Lee
requested an instant replay.
A GOOD CHANCE
TO CHANGE THE FLOW OF THE GAME
You're out, aren't you?
-Right?
-I think I'm safe.
Look at Seo Dong-wook catching the ball.
He caught the ball, then,
here, he tagged the runner.
An instant replay has been requested.
HIS HAND TOUCHED FIRST!
THE RESULT
IS SAFE
It's safe.
I told you it was safe.
BEING CHEEKY
-Okay!
-We'll get them at home base.
LET'S GET THEM AT HOME BASE
Now it's one out
and the runner is on third base.
It's a crisis.
THEY MIGHT LOSE ANOTHER POINT
Yoo Tae-ung is at bat,
and that's a problem.
NUMBER 3 BATTER
YOO TAE-UNG IS AT BAT
Today, he had two hits
-in two at-bats.
-That's right.
GIVING SIGNS
THIS TIME, IT'S A SQUEEZE!
He bunts!
-Foul!
-It's a foul.
TOO BAD
-Dong-eui is…
-This is how they play.
Today, Manager Jung
-said he'd show various things.
-Yes.
He made the best hitter do a squeeze play.
MANAGER JUNG PLAYS
TENACIOUS BASEBALL
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
-Strike.
-It comes close to the body. Two strikes.
Hee-kwan brings in a precious count.
COME ON, HEE-KWAN
(PARCHED LIPS)
The manager and the teammates trust me,
so I want to live up
to their expectations.
He misses. Strikeout!
-Good.
-Okay.
Hee-kwan in crisis
overcomes the crisis himself for now.
-Finish it here.
-You can finish them here!
LET'S END THIS
Now, there's only one out count left.
The runner is still on third base.
Stay out there. Don't come in too fast.
Lee Jin-seok made a sharp first hit today.
CK Monsters let Dong-eui turn the tables.
How will they finish this inning?
Let's go.
Okay. In front!
-He hits.
-Okay. In front!
-The ball flies high.
-Catch it.
-The infielders. Shortstop is moving.
-Get it.
He catches the ball. Three outs.
3 OUTS
Dong-eui is ahead of the Monsters,
but Hee-kwan didn't lose
any additional points.
It's three to two.
The game is moving on to the sixth inning.
I don't feel good about today's game.
Hee-kwan won't waver anymore though.
SIGHING
Can we just play
ten games and win ten times?
I'd be at ease then.
Seriously, this is the only
TV show I appear regularly.
NONE OF MY BUSINESS
Eui-yoon, let's go!
NONE OF MY BUSINESS
TOP OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Half of the game has been played.
It's the top of the sixth inning.
CK Monster's fourth hitter
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
-Go for it.
-Let's go!
It's time to score.
-The Monsters, the hitters, are in haste.
-Yes.
It's because Choi Yun-seo pitches
-really well.
-Yes.
Shin Seung-yun will still pitch after him.
Right.
Dong-eui is one point ahead,
and there are only four innings left.
WE HAVE TO CATCH UP NOW
STRIKE
YUN-SEO WON'T LET HIM SCORE EASILY
He doesn't ease up.
HE'S TOO GOOD…
-Strike!
-Outside strike.
NO…
-Good.
-It's okay.
YOU CAN DO IT
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
Nice one.
Even the fourth hitter Jung Eui-yoon
couldn't hit Yun-seo's pitch.
(BITING HIS LIPS)
Choi Yun-seo dealt with six hitters
on the mound,
and he struck out four of them.
Yes, his pitch is that aggressive.
Seo Dong-wook is at bat.
STRIKE
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
WHACK!
-Okay.
-He hits.
Seo Dong-wook makes another hit.
He's a good hitter.
The game feels stuck,
so they need to make a hit like this.
WE NEED TO LEAD THE GAME
He swings and misses!
-He swings and misses! He falls.
-Strike.
Strikeout.
Pitcher Choi Yun-seo struck out
five out of seven hitters.
Today, we see again
that Dong-eui has monstrous pitchers.
-Starting with Jeong Seong-hoon.
-Strike!
-Strike!
-Ryu Hyun-in.
And Park Yong-taek.
Following Jung Eui-yoon,
Lee Hong-ku was struck out too.
As you see, he swung and missed.
Yes, that's right.
I said that the strongest enemy
was preparing to redeem themselves today.
So far, Dong-eui is truly
CK Monsters' strongest enemy.
THE STRONGEST ENEMIES PERSONIFIED
After you wait--
Jeez, it's a hit.
Kim Moon-ho hits.
Center-right. It's a hit.
Seo Dong-wook reaches second base.
CK Monsters' Kim Moon-ho makes a hit.
THE GENIUS BATTER IS BACK
THAT'S A GREAT HITTER
Only one out count left.
It's two outs with runners
on first and second bases.
The runners will run to third
and home as soon as there's a hit.
They have to run no matter what.
GENIUS HITTER
JEONG SEONG-HOON IS AT BAT
Seong-hoon is up.
YUN-SEO AND SEONG-HOON MEET AGAIN
It's a fight between Jeong Seong-hoon
and Choi Yun-seo.
He hits the first pitch.
SO CLOSE
He swung so hard for it.
Jeong Seong-hoon is very good
at going after a pitch.
-He went after the first pitch.
-Nice pitch.
-Strike.
-It was in the strike zone.
WOW…
GOOD JOB, MY BOY
WOW…
It's a fastball at 140km/h.
You can't hit that ball.
(NODDING)
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Everything depends
on Jeong Seong-hoon's bat.
WILL YUN-SEO THROW A BALL
OR GO HEAD-TO-HEAD?
He swings and misses. Strikeout!
YUN-SEO NEVER STEPS BACK
NICE PITCH
It's a slider.
THE MONSTERS FAILED TO SCORE
Three strikeouts. Pitcher Choi Yun-seo
finishes this inning himself.
The score is still three to two.
The Monsters are still chasing.
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
Is it another strikeout? A slider?
He's cool.
He's a really good pitcher.
A star is born. Choi Yun-seo is good.
All right.
It's the second half. One point at a time.
We'll keep scoring one at a time, okay?
-Let's push them. Let's go.
-Yes, sir.
BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
-The hitter is coming.
-Okay.
You can stop him.
We'll stop them here and start again.
It's the first hitter Park Jae-seong.
NUMBER FIVE BATTER
PARK JAE-SEONG IS AT BAT
BALL
JAE-SEONG WATCHES THE FIRST PITCH
Hee-kwan, cheer up!
CAREFUL
Hit-by-pitch.
-Okay.
-Hit-by-pitch.
-It's a hit-by-pitch.
-Yes.
GO ON BASE
-Okay.
-Okay.
He doesn't pull back.
Yoo Hee-kwan in CK Monsters' uniform
let two lead-off batters walk,
one after another.
I don't really remember
anything like this happening.
-There has never been a game like this.
-No.
I wanted to help the team.
It was an unacceptable situation
even for myself.
LET'S SEE…
SEUNG-JUN, WON-SAM, HEE-KWAN
SIGHING
-Dae-eun.
-Yes, sir.
Get ready for the seventh.
Hee-kwan isn't well today.
The seventh inning. Not this inning.
Don't be nervous.
Hee-kwan is pitching
with a runner on base.
NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.
BATTER NUMBER 6 YOON JUN-HO
ANOTHER HIT AND RUN?
He hits. It's a line drive.
Pitcher catches it.
The ball is sent to first base.
The runner is out on first base,
so two outs.
First base runner
Park Jae-seong is also taken out.
Yoo Hee-kwan puts out the fire.
-Okay!
-Good!
YOU'RE SO COOL, YOO HEE-KWAN
Yoo Hee-kwan!
We could've finished the game.
IF IT WAS A HIT,
THE GAME WOULD'VE BEEN FINISHED
(SAD)
He's so quick at switching
from offense to defense.
That's how he won
over 100 games in the KBO.
That's right.
A PITCHER OF 100 WINS
He threw it to first base with full power.
-Yes.
-He does that sometimes.
He throws at full speed
when he gets angry.
That's probably about 128km/h.
Why me…
Why is he taking it out on me?
Are you okay?
FUMING
I've played a lot of games,
but I really didn't want to let them
hit my pitch today.
I didn't want to lose any more points
since I lost that point.
I was very determined,
so I tried to focus more.
I guess my pitch
reflected that determination.
Son Si-hu. A ground ball.
Shortstop catches it.
Shortstop Ryu Hyun-in.
-The runner is taken out on first base.
-Okay.
3 OUTS
-This inning could've been a crisis.
-Good job.
But Yoo Hee-kwan's perfect defense
ends the inning after only three hitters.
THAT WAS CLEAN
-We got it.
-We have the flow.
WE'VE TURNED THE TABLES
-Center.
-Yes, sir.
NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO SHOW THEM
Ryu Hyun-in of CK Monsters
will be at bat first.
If he gets on base,
Jeong Keun-woo, Lee Taek-keun,
and Park Yong-taek will follow.
FOLLOWED BY THE TOP BATTERS
The problem is that
they can't jump over Choi Yun-seo.
It's hard to hit when you've never
dealt with the pitcher before.
But it's different the second time.
WILL HYUN-IN GET ON BASE?
You need to go on base.
He pushes!
-Shortstop can't catch it.
-Okay!
The first hitter Ryu Hyun-in gets on base.
THE FIRST HITTER
HYUN-IN GOES ON BASE
-Now, the opening has begun.
-We got it.
You're all dead now.
Jeong Keun-woo is next.
Keun-woo, you have to hit.
There's no sign.
(I BELIEVE IN YOU)
(LET'S GO, KEUN-WOO)
If Keun-woo is out,
we can wait until Taek-keun.
THINKING WHEN
TO SUBSTITUTE A PITCHER
Manager Jung and Coach Chong are keeping
-Shin Seung-yun until last.
-Yes.
It was great
because Yun-seo unexpectedly pitched well.
But he's feeling more pressure
as the inning progresses.
Because Hyun-in is on base,
from now on,
when to change the pitchers
is very important.
STRIKE
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Take it easy.
-He swings.
-Jeez.
He swings. Two strikes.
YUN-SEO IS TOUGH
SUDDENLY THE COUNT
BECAME UNFAVORABLE
There are a lot of balls.
Here we go!
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
FOUL
He called it a foul.
THANK GOODNESS
Look. Here,
the ball touched the bat.
If the ball was caught,
it would've been a foul tip, strikeout.
He couldn't strike Jeong Keun-woo out,
-so he'll have regrets.
-Right.
Catcher Yoon Jun-ho
places the mitt outside.
It's a high breaking ball.
-It's still one ball, two strikes.
-Okay.
The count is favorable to Yun-seo.
One ball, two strikes. Jeong Keun-woo.
It's another high breaking ball.
Jeong Keun-woo holds back
on the dropping pitch.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
YUN-SEO IS SHAKING ALL OF A SUDDEN
GROANING
He held back on three pitches
when it was two strikes.
KEUN-WOO MADE IT A FULL COUNT
Get ready for the runner and the hitter.
Okay.
Right now, the Monsters
are the most focused.
REQUESTING A TIMEOUT
He requests a timeout.
Jeong Keun-woo asked for a timeout
when Jun-seo got ready to pitch.
Hitter Jeong Keun-woo is very good
at taking the upper hand.
Now, it's a full count.
HE PULLS IT TOGETHER AGAIN
-Jeong Keun-woo hits!
-Here!
-The ball is slow.
-Here we go.
-Hurry!
-Run!
-Run!
-Hurry up!
THE BALL FALLS AMBIGUOUSLY
The ball is slow.
HE SLIDES HEAD FIRST.
WHAT'S THE RESULT?
He slides head first.
-He's out on first base.
-Is he out?
-It looks like he's safe.
-Okay.
He knows that he can cheer the team up
by getting on base at this time.
That's why this legendary player
dove like that.
-You rarely make a dive on first base.
-Right.
That was really amazing.
-All right, Keun-woo!
-Good job!
JEONG KEUN-WOO, YOU HAVE OUR RESPECT!
-Nice.
-Good job.
-Well done.
-Great.
-Good job.
-Nice. Keun-woo.
Jeez!
NICE RUN
It's one out.
The runner is on second base.
Are you tired?
-A little.
-I think you are.
Do you want to pitch one more
or do you want to stop?
I want to do one more.
-One more?
-Yes.
-Okay, go ahead.
-Yes, sir.
Throw hard. There's another pitcher.
-Be confident.
-Yes, sir.
-It's okay. Just pitch as usual.
-Okay.
-Because you're good.
-Yes.
Manager Jung visited the mound
and encouraged Yun-seo.
-Right.
-"You can finish this."
I think it's really cool.
One out. The runner is on second base.
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
Taek-keun, this is your chance.
Here we go. We've been waiting for this.
Taek-keun couldn't really hit today.
He could be upset.
But this is the biggest chance
he could have
-during this game.
-Yes.
WITH ONE HIT, THEY CAN CATCH UP
He hits the first pitch.
FOUL
TIMING
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
He hits the breaking ball.
FOUL
It's a foul. It's two strikes.
SIGHING
GOOD JOB
MONSTERS 2 : 3 DONG-EUI
FOUL
-Come on.
-Good job.
Let's go.
SHOW THEM, TAEK-KEUN V
His confidence.
He wants to show that
he's more confident than anyone.
Taek-keun is after a tie.
Lee Taek-keun.
The count is at two strikes.
HE HITS!
He hits. It flies high.
-Shortstop and left fielder go after it.
-Go!
-Okay. It's good.
-It's a hit.
A HIT? AN OUT?
-Shortstop and left fielder go after it.
-Okay!
The left fielder!
He hits. It flies high.
-Shortstop and left fielder go after it.
-Go!
The left fielder! It falls!
The second base runner reaches
third base and home plate.
It's a hit that made a tie!
-He did it!
-Okay.
-Hyun-in, don't run!
-Okay!
WOW…
SCREAMING
SHOUTING
YELLING
We saw Taek-keun concentrate
with the second pitch.
A precious hit.
Did it skip off the bat
or have a good course?
No, it was a hit
because Taek-keun pulled it off.
Finally, Lee Taek-keun makes a tie!
The score is three to three.
TIMEOUT!
Yun-seo, good job.
-You pitched well.
-It was so close.
MANAGER JUNG DECIDES
TO SUBSTITUTE HIM
-Good job.
-Thank you.
This is it for pitcher Choi Yun-seo.
He couldn't take Lee Taek-keun out
in the seventh inning.
-The problem begins now.
-Seung-yun.
Pitcher Shin Seung-yun
is back on the mound.
(GULP)
HERE HE COMES…
IN THE 1ST ROUND,
SEUNG-YUN PUT ON
A STRIKEOUT SHOW
AGAINST THE MONSTERS
SIGHING
Another strikeout.
JEEZ… I FEEL LIKE
I'M BEING TOYED WITH
WHO IS THAT KID…
The inning is over without any points.
THE PITCHER
WHO MADE THE MONSTERS TREMBLE
CAPTAIN TAEK IS NOW AT BAT
The 5-6 hole.
1 OUT, 1ST BASE RUNNER TAEK-KEUN
WILL HE BE ABLE
TO STOP HIM TODAY TOO?
-Everyone, focus.
-Concentrate.
Will we win?
The game might be difficult.
-He hits the first pitch.
-Jeez.
-Okay.
-What?
JEEZ…
He hits the first pitch.
He hits the first pitch.
The pitcher catches it.
Second base and first base too.
One, four, three. It's a double play.
THE CAPTAIN FELL HELPLESSLY
SHIN SEUNG-YUN IS INSANE!
CK Monsters' offense is stopped here.
The new pitcher Shin Seung-yun
gets two out counts with one pitch.
The inning is over.
-It's the bottom of the seventh inning.
-How did he catch it?
HOW DID HE CATCH THAT…
(SNIFFING)
TRUDGING
The pitchers are doing well.
Now, it's the batters' turn.
-Okay?
-Yes, sir.
It's a new pitcher.
Yoo Hee-kwan is done.
BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound.
IT'S THE 4TH PITCHER RHEE DAE-EUN
Now is the chance, okay? Let's go.
NOW IS THE CHANCE!
(STARING)
They're tied.
If they play extra innings,
Shim Soo-chang is the only pitcher left.
It'll be good to stop him.
He has to pitch
as many innings as possible.
-Yes.
-Yes.
I went up there thinking
that I'll pitch three innings.
Jung Ung-chan is at bat.
Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound.
STRIKE
Nice!
NICE BALL
STRIKE
-Strike.
-It came in from the outside. Strike.
He's back!
A Clean Sweep
-aims to win all games.
-Yes, all games.
Rhee Dae-eun.
He hits. Second baseman
Jeong Keun-woo catches it.
First base. He's taken out.
1 OUT
Dae-eun will stop them
and Soo-chang will finish.
MANAGER LEE'S PLAN
WILL IT GO AS PLANNED…
An Hyeon-tae is at bat.
He had two hits in two at-bats today.
When he's at bat,
Dong-eui's game plays out really well.
So before Dae-eun takes Kang Jun-seo out,
he needs to take An Hyeon-tae out.
BALL
HYEON-TAE SCREENS THE BALL OUT
It goes toward the body.
It's loose. This is crazy.
He won't hit it.
THIS ISN'T IT…
He pulls the bat back from the bunt.
(THE BALL IS TOO…)
He makes three balls with that gesture.
There are players
that know how to play the game.
I think An Hyeon-tae is one of them.
AN HYEON-TAE IS THAT KIND OF PLAYER
Just hold back.
When I tried to pitch hard,
the ball fell out.
So I was half out of it.
It's three balls.
HE PITCHES FOUR BALLS STRAIGHT
-Let's go.
-That's four balls in a row.
Was it a ball?
SHALL I SUBSTITUTE SOO-CHANG…
He walks to first base.
Batter number nine An Hyeon-tae
got on base at every at-bat.
Today, the game is going Hyeon-tae's way.
This is actually
very threatening to the Monsters.
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
The problem begins now.
Kang Jun-seo and Heo Ji-won will follow.
These two batters can hit,
and they're great
at carrying out the tactics.
The score is tied at three to three.
BALL
Dae-eun's ball shouldn't be high.
He has to pitch low by all means.
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
Manager Jung let them be tied
at three to three.
He probably wants to win the game.
He pushes!
He pushes! It goes past second baseman.
KEUN-WOO THROWS HIMSELF,
BUT IT'S A HIT
It's a hit. One out.
The runners are on first and second bases.
He's a good hitter.
You know that it's a hit from the get-go.
Jeong Keun-woo can't lose today's game.
-He's determined to win.
-Of course.
That says a lot.
IT SHOWS HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT
An inning after another,
Dong-eui is making the Monsters tremble.
Today's game is really gripping.
-The first round was too.
-That's right.
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
CK Monsters are faced with another crisis.
It's one out,
so we can do the double play.
-The fastballs are all right.
-Okay.
If you pitch one at a time, it'll be fine.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
DAE-EUN AND HONG-KU
ARE AFTER A DOUBLE PLAY
A hit after four balls.
Dong-eui has two runners on bases.
Batter number two Heo Ji-won is at bat.
Ji-won.
Just hit what you can.
Don't hit the hard ones.
You just need to hit one.
I was mad. We had to win no matter what.
I was upset.
He swings at the first pitch.
Dae-eun threw a breaking ball
for his first pitch.
It's Dae-eun and Hong-ku battery.
Dae-eun's pitch
isn't at its full speed yet.
Anyway, his splitters are amazing.
That's right.
-Strike!
-It's an outside strike.
HE THROWS 2 STRIKES CALMLY
MONSTERS 3 : 3 DONG-EUI
It's a match against
batter number two Heo Ji-won.
THERE'S ONLY ONE STRIKE LEFT
UNTIL AN OUT
HIT!
-Go!
-A ground ball!
-Dae-eun catches the ground ball!
-Go!
IS IT A DOUBLE PLAY?
-Okay!
-A ground ball!
-Dae-eun catches the ground ball!
-Go!
To second base, then to first base.
He's taken out on first base!
He calls out!
THE BATTERY'S STRATEGY WORKED
He calls out!
NICE DOUBLE PLAY
Pitcher Rhee Dae-eun makes a double play.
MANAGER JUNG
Timeout.
DONG-EUI REQUESTS AN INSTANT REPLAY
Dong-eui requests an instant replay
-right away.
-Out.
I think it's an out.
Dong-eui requested an instant replay.
Dae-eun induced a ground ball.
It's very close.
THE HITTER'S FOOT
REACHED THE BASE FIRST
He calls it safe.
(SATISFIED)
Is it safe?
WHACK!
It would've been nice if it ended there.
I had a year's worth of stress there.
Runners on bases at both sides.
2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD BASES
Seriously, let's win.
Yoo Tae-ung gets another chance.
Yes, he's the best hitter
of Dong-eui today.
Let's stop this one, Dae-eun.
Let's stop him! Dae-eun, let's go!
WITH A HIT,
DONG-EUI CAN TURN THE TABLES
Yoo Tae-ung made timely hits
at first and second at-bats.
TRYING TO STAY CALM
1ST BASE RUNNER IS ON 2ND BASE?
JI-WON TRIED TO STEAL A BASE
The first base runner reached second base.
With a hit, Dong-eui can score two points.
That's right.
I'm nervous.
(HEADACHE)
He has to overcome this crisis.
WILL DAE-EUN OVERCOME THE CRISIS?
He is currently
the best hitter in Dong-eui.
What?
-What?
-He hits it.
He swings.
He hits it. The batted ball
goes near the center fielder.
A HIT NEAR THE CENTER FIELDER
Third base runner gets on home base.
KEEP GOING
Second base is going for the home base!
WE CAN'T ALLOW TWO POINTS!
-Go!
-Over here!
WILL HE MAKE IT TO HOME BASE?
Come on!
OUT?
SAFE?
Second base is going for the home base!
-He makes it!
-Safe!
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
An RBI double by Tae-ung!
Three hits with four RBIs
in a single game.
That impressive record was made
by Tae-ung.
THE MAN WHO TURNED THE GAME AROUND
IT'S A FESTIVAL IN DONG-EUI'S DUGOUT
Tae-ung, great job.
Darn it.
His swing had guts.
The pitch was far and low.
But Tae-ung managed to make this happen.
Yoo Tae-ung!
ABOUT TO LOSE 1 LIFE OUT OF 10
Seriously, Tae-ung!
He is quite good though.
His swings are different.
-He's very skillful.
-I agree.
Because there's a runner on second base,
a hit can result in a point.
Rhee Dae-eun must stay focused.
A SERIES OF CRISES OF ALLOWING RUNS
Lee Jin-seok is up.
Dong-eui is already two points ahead.
They are also in scoring position,
so if they allow two hits in a row,
-they may not be able to recover.
-Right.
BALL
Okay, you're doing great!
You've improved so much!
Stay focused on the ball.
HE HITS!
Run for home base.
-Left.
-Left side.
Keep going.
Okay. Nice.
3 OUTS
DAE-EUN MANAGED TO STOP
THE WORST FROM HAPPENING
The score is five to three.
Dong-eui gets ahead by two points!
-We can get two points.
-Of course.
This is the first game
Dae-eun allowed a run.
It's five to three, and again,
we must catch up to them by two points.
DAE-EUN IS AT THE DUGOUT IN SILENCE
My feelings were all mixed up.
And I allowed two runs and came in.
That itself made me upset.
But this doesn't just affect me.
I'm not the only one being
punished for it.
It's a team game.
So the punishment doubles.
THE PRESSURE OF TEAM SPORTS
Let's pitch the next inning too.
(JUST PITCH A FASTBALL)
I'm not confident right now.
-In fastballs.
-Why?
Pitching isn't the problem.
But they keep hitting to the left.
-That makes you lose momentum.
-Indeed.
THE EXPERT ON LOSING MOMENTUM
It's the bottom of the eighth inning.
BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
CK MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
They must get two points
to catch up again.
The show won't be fun
if you lose like this.
We have two more innings to go.
-We still have a chance!
-Two chances!
-Let's catch up!
-Let's go!
Let's start off with Eui-yoon!
BUT IT'S THE UNDEFEATED
SHIN SEUNG-YUN
HE HITS!
-This is it!
-Let's go!
He hits the ball.
First baseman gets the ball.
The pitcher comes to first base,
and he's out.
GROUND BALL
ONE OUT
5 OUTS LEFT UNTIL THEIR FIRST LOSS
NEXT BATTER HITS A GROUND BALL
He hits it.
The ball goes near second base.
Second baseman throws to first.
Two ground balls.
2 OUTS
4 OUTS LEFT UNTIL THEIR FIRST LOSS
Seung-yun went against three batters
on the mound.
But they all hit ground balls.
CK Monsters came into this game
with a winning streak of four games.
But they are having a tough time
compared to the last game.
Next up is Hong-ku.
-Come on, Hong-ku!
-Let's go!
STRIKE
-Nice pitch!
-A perfect pitch.
I feel like we're going to win today.
From a right-handed batter,
the ball was far from him.
-But it was a strike.
-That's his trademark.
In the first game,
batters had trouble hitting his ball.
He's good at throwing those pitches.
BOUNCES OFF
A hit-by-pitch.
NICE
Great work.
He gets hit by the ball a lot.
HONG-KU, THREE HITS-BY-PITCH
HE BOWS
Seung-yun takes off his hat
and greets Hong-ku.
But in this situation,
they shouldn't be
allowing runners to get on base.
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
Moon-ho is up next.
Moon-ho's swings are on point today.
Moon-ho is feeling good today.
I wonder how he'll do
as a left-handed batter
against Seung-yun.
But in today's match,
Moon-ho is feeling great.
You have to trust his feeling today.
-Okay!
-Ball.
Moon-ho. Stay close to the box.
-I feel like something is going to happen.
-I see some fog coming.
Something is coming!
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COMING THOUGH
-It's here!
-He hits it!
Toward third base. The ball bounces!
THE BALL BOUNCES UP
IN FRONT OF THIRD BASE
The ball slips away.
-Nice!
-Let's go!
Nice job!
Hong-ku to third base.
The batted ball is a hit.
Moon-ho has three hits this game.
Is it a hit?
-It's a hit.
-Okay. Make it a hit, please.
The stadium has artificial turf.
There's a border between the turf
and the mound.
The ball landed there making
the ball bounce.
WHY THERE?
Moon-ho got a lucky hit.
-That's right.
-It's coming.
It's coming to us now!
I told you I saw some fog!
I feel a triple run coming.
-I can feel it.
-Really?
A chance to run after two outs.
Jeong Seong-hoon is up next.
So many chances,
but I haven't batted in a while.
SEONG-HOON HAD A CHANCE TO TURN
THE GAME AROUND IN THE 2ND INNING
AN RBI THAT TURNED THE GAME AROUND
HE TAKES THE CHANCE
LIKE A BATTING GENIUS
I feel the points coming in.
I feel it.
SEONG-HOON, JUST ONE MORE TIME
I don't like Seong-hoon!
HE DOESN'T LIKE SEONG-HOON
MANAGER JUNG CHANGES
THE POSITIONS OF THE DEFENSE
HE HITS!
The first pitch is hit!
It's a slow ground ball.
First baseman catches it.
First baseman gets it and tags first base.
Three outs.
NICE DEFENSE
A chance after two outs,
but it did not result in a run.
The top of the eighth inning now.
Why is a chance to score always on me?
Darn it.
THEY ACT AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED
We just need one more run
to end this game.
-Okay?
-Yes, sir!
We can do it. Let's go. One point!
-Let's go.
-One, two, three!
WE'RE GOING TO WIN TODAY
Now the game continues.
It's Dong-eui's turn to attack now.
CK Monsters has only one offense left.
That's why they cannot allow a single run.
They must defend and hope for a miracle.
Like you said, Dae-eun has to pitch well.
He has to pitch three ups, three downs.
But the inning before this,
he allowed two runs
for the first time in the show.
His ERA isn't perfect anymore.
Rhee Dae-eun.
TILTING HIS HEAD IN ANXIETY
Dae-eun wasn't in his best condition
as soon as he was on the mound.
I was worried if he could pitch.
Dae-eun, come on!
Let's defend this inning!
Can Rhee Dae-eun defend this?
First up is Park Jae-seong.
The ball goes deep.
OUT OF THE ZONE
2 BALLS
He's starting to lose control.
If Dae-eun can't defend this,
Soo-chang is warming up now,
so it might be wise to change
Dae-eun out with Soo-chang.
He isn't able to pitch easily.
A hit-by-pitch!
HE SIGHS
CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED FOUR INNINGS
CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED ONE INNING
CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED TWO INNINGS
Timeout!
Good work.
Dae-eun is changed out.
Dae-eun wasn't able
to finish off the inning.
Shim Soo-chang takes the mound.
-Nervous?
-No, sir.
HE'S ACTUALLY NERVOUS
Good job, Dae-eun.
HIS TEAMMATES CHEER HIM UP
Well done.
It's fine. You did well.
HE TRUDGES IN DISAPPOINTMENT
(IT'S BEST
TO LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR NOW)
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid I won't be able to control
my pitches when I take the mound again.
Since I've joined the team,
nothing played out like I wanted.
My specialty was my pitching velocity.
But velocity was low.
It's not like I have
good ball control like Hee-kwan.
And I didn't even defend well.
I allowed runs.
I felt so tiny and futile.
I FEEL SO USELESS
I can't believe this.
This is what happens when all the players
aren't in their best conditions.
-Soo-chang will do well.
-I'm sure he'll defend.
Let's go for a double play.
-Let's get him out.
-We can do it!
THEY'RE READY
Soo-chang takes the mound.
Soo-chang is on the mound
with lots of pressure and a runner.
THE LAST PITCHER, SHIM SOO-CHANG
I hope they don't have another strategy.
HERE!
Back when he was a pro,
he defended a lot of dangerous situations.
-He's very experienced at this.
-Sure.
That's very true.
The team is in a tight spot.
That's why his first pitch is important.
But now he's facing Yoon Jun-ho.
He said he wants
CK Monsters to lose
when he's not on their team.
He wanted them to feel they lost the game
because he wasn't there.
That kind of passion
is a good quality for a player.
STRIKE
He misses!
He misses his swing
against a breaking pitch.
Nice pitch.
ANYONE WILL MISS THIS KIND OF FALL
That was a great pitch.
HE HITS IT!
He hits a high pitch.
It's flying near the left-fielder.
He catches the ball.
NICE, SOO-CHANG
1 OUT!
A double play, please!
Next up is Cho Won-bin.
A good hit!
It's between the center and the left.
He catches it!
Eui-yoon catches the ball.
Two outs!
-Nice catch!
-We can do this!
Just one more out!
Jung Ung-chan, the eighth batter, is up.
That was good. Nice pitch!
Soo-chang. You're a natural
at finishing up the game.
A natural.
SHIM SOO-CHANG, BORN TO BE
THE FIRST AND THE LAST PITCHER
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
STRIKE
He strikes him with a breaking pitch.
Nice pitch.
Nice!
It doesn't matter if the ball hits
and ends up in the outfield.
The pitcher just needs to defend.
Soo-changed managed to get two outs.
-It's quite amusing.
-That's right.
I really hope
that Soo-chang can defend well
when CK Monsters is in a tight spot.
Just one more out.
Strikeout looking!
THE IMMORTAL FIRST PITCHER
SOO-CHANG IS BACK
THERE YOU GO!
The inning is over.
Soo-chang rescues the team
from a tight spot!
He didn't lose any points this inning.
The game continues to the last inning.
-Nice pitching.
-Let's take it slow.
We can do this.
We have to turn the game around.
Make me a winning pitcher!
-Is Hyun-in up first?
-Yes.
You just need to get on a base, Hyun-in.
Please, get on a base.
CK Monsters. You can do this.
Hyun-in, stay close to the box
and don't hit the close pitches.
-Whether it's a fastball or not.
-Yes, sir.
You must not step far away.
Go for the 5-6 hole.
BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING
MONSTERS 3 : 5 DONG-EUI
This may be
the last three chances they have
before the game ends.
If they can't catch up,
the game will end
on the bottom of the ninth inning.
And Seung-yun, the undefeated pitcher,
still takes the mound.
HE CALLS THE PITCHER
Focus on your every single pitch.
Please.
PLEASE, HYUN-IN
IF HYUN-IN GETS ON A BASE,
NEXT IN THE LINE ARE THE TOP BATTERS
WE TRUST YOU, HYUN-IN!
He hits the first pitch!
He hits the first pitch!
Between first and second base!
This is it!
WE HAVE OUR FAITH IN YOU.
OUR YOUNGEST PLAYER IS THE BEST!
Hyun-in goes for the first pitch
and hits the ball.
Man. He's a good baseball player.
What an excellent swing.
He refused to play mind games
with the pitcher.
That's right.
That hit was possible
because of his confident swing.
Keun-woo is up next.
-It's our turn now.
-We got this.
Keun-woo!
Think about how you played in Beijing!
Keun-woo. Think about Beijing!
Beijing all of a sudden?
We have to win this, Keun-woo!
WE TRUST YOU!
Just stay calm and focus on your pitch.
In my opinion,
I think the fate of this inning
depends on Park Yong-taek.
-What?
-Oh!
It's a hit-by-pitch!
Keun-woo didn't dodge the ball.
No one expected this to happen.
DONG-EUI TEAM MEMBERS
ARE FEELING ANXIOUS
-No!
-Please!
HIS EYES ARE SHAKING
GO BEIJING OLYMPICS!
Beijing!
-Nice!
-The momentum is ours now.
-Come on!
-The ball doesn't even hurt.
A hit and a hit-by-pitch.
With two runners on bases,
this might lead to a tie.
Two runners with no outs.
The two-point difference
may not seem like much now.
Taek-keun.
-No bunts.
-Yes, sir.
Two point difference. No bunts.
-Don't even come into the dugout?
-Never.
MANAGER LEE ORDERS HIM
TO GO OFFENSIVE
Timeout.
Manager Jung is coming onto the mound.
Is he going to change pitchers right now?
Even if the batter hits,
you should not allow a hit-by-pitch.
HE TAKES THE BALL
-He's switching him out!
-We don't know what will happen now.
Shin Seung-yun ends his pitching here.
The pitcher will change!
Manager Jung's choice was Son Min-gyu.
I need information about him.
Starting pitcher in the last game.
HE DOESN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER
The guy that throws
low two-seam fastballs.
-I'll pitch with confidence.
-Really?
Yes, sir.
You're the ace of the team.
-Just be confident no matter what.
-Yes, sir.
This resolute decision
to switch out Seung-yun
as soon as he starts to shake.
This is admirable.
It's a harsh decision.
From his perspective, this guy
is a better choice than Seung-yun.
-The ace.
-I see.
Anyway, he's the ace.
Hyun-in is on second base.
Keun-woo is on first base.
3 OUTS BEFORE THE GAME ENDS
He hits it!
It's a fly ball. Right fielder moves back.
He catches it! Second base runner
couldn't run.
Darn.
1 OUT
NICE CATCH, JAE-SEONG
2 OUTS BEFORE THE GAME ENDS
The right fielder's shoulders.
-He's quite the catcher.
-Indeed.
If he moved just a little bit…
His shoulder movements are so great.
ALWAYS BECOMES EXTREMELY
SKILLFUL ON THE 9TH INNING
Park Yong-taek is up next.
TODAY: HITLESS, BA .286
It's about time he hits something.
If we lose this game today,
it's definitely my fault.
I was upset with myself.
I was enraged.
The first pitch is a ball.
FAR SIDE
BALL
Min-gyu's pitching style
is a three-quarters delivery.
This is difficult for the pitcher.
He has trouble calibrating
his pitch against Yong-taek.
That's right.
I smell a triple coming.
-It's here.
-He hits it!
-It's here.
-He hits it!
IS IT REALLY A TRIPLE?
-Hey, go!
-We did it.
HE SHOUTS IN SURPRISE
This is it! Run!
-Hey!
-Let's go!
CAN THEY TURN THIS GAME AROUND?
HE GASPS IN DESPAIR
DISAPPOINTED
My gosh.
JUN-HO IS SURPRISED
He hits it! The ball is flying!
Between right and center!
The ball is higher than the CF's height!
ALTHOUGH NOT A HOME RUN,
IT'S AN EXTRA-BASE HIT
MONSTERS 4 : 5 DONG-EUI
Third base.
SUDDENLY 3RD BASE?
A ground rule double?
THANK GOODNESS
When the ball leaves the fence,
the ground rule double is applied.
The batter and the runners
can only advance two bases.
That's right.
Although Hyun-in gets a run.
The first base runner
has to stop on third base.
-Darn!
-Why did that bounce over?
Darn it!
HE'S FURIOUS
What the hell is this?
-Keun-woo can't run!
-Darn it!
Not the best time to cheer, Captain.
Why did that go over?
WHY AM I BEING CRITICIZED
FOR HITTING AN RBI?
If it hit the top of the fence,
-Keun-woo would've come in.
-That's right.
But this hit only results in one run.
What the… Jeez.
HE'S FRUSTRATED
The score is four to five.
Only one point behind.
Two runners in scoring positions.
A hit can turn the game around.
This now depends on Jung Eui-yoon,
the fourth batter.
Today, Jung Eui-yoon
has no hits with four at-bats.
He has two strikeouts.
That's right.
-Let's go, Eui-yoon!
-It's about time you hit!
-Let's go.
-Please!
MVP is yours if you hit.
Show me what you got.
Infield is far away.
No one is marking.
Don't be too tense.
The first pitch is a ball far away.
-Okay!
-Nice.
Good.
(SWING THAT BAT STRONG AND FAST)
Eui-yoon swings the bat upwards.
Two-seam can be a dangerous card to play.
IT'S RISKY TO PITCH TWO-SEAM
AGAINST EUI-YOON
It bounces!
What a block!
JUN-HO'S SUPER SAVE
-Okay.
-Yes!
OH, NO…
-Jun-ho!
-How did he catch that?
Yes! Hey, you punk! That jerk.
Jun-ho is really good.
He's good.
How can he be so insensitive?
He shouldn't have blocked it.
STOP BEING TACTLESS
A blocking from Jun-ho that stopped a run.
This prevented not only one, but two runs.
That's true. It could've been
one out with a runner on third base.
That's right.
No one could've blocked that.
I always praise Jun-ho,
but this was extraordinary.
How did he manage to catch that?
The count is two and zero.
MONSTERS 4 : 5 DONG-EUI
First base is empty,
just throw with confidence.
HE FEELS ANXIOUS
EVEN AFTER ADVISING HIM
All right.
His swing might hit the drone.
Take that drone down.
A hit-by-pitch!
HIT-BY-PITCH
Then…
now the bases are packed with runners.
THE BATTER WHO WILL SWING
AT THIS GOLDEN CHANCE
Dong-wook!
-This is it.
-Yes, sir.
PROFESSOR SEO DONG-WOOK!
I hoped that he'd get a chance
like this, and he did.
Dong-wook, you must let them run.
The bases are full.
Dong-wook, the fifth batter, is up.
-He's trying to play mind games.
-It's outside the zone.
-Nice!
-Okay!
The pitcher is shaking up.
Play offensive.
He's really tense. You can feel it, right?
If you think about it,
the first home run was hit
-by Seo Dong-wook.
-Seo Dong-wook.
Who hit the last ball last game?
Seo Dong-wook.
Seo Dong-wook contributed to every
playmaking that led to the team's victory.
And the home run turned the game around.
What kind of results will he bring?
Another ball far from the zone.
He's patient.
NICE EYES!
PLEASE HIT THE NEXT ONE
Go to the center!
The count is two and zero.
Dong-wook has some counts left.
So he won't swing if the pitch isn't his.
No strike again.
Three balls!
HE'S HAPPY
We're finally back!
HE EXCLAIMS IN JOY
Min-gyu starts to tense up again.
Dong-eui played so well today,
and the pitchers threw so well too.
But the situation isn't so great.
It's one out with full bases.
And Dong-wook is the batter.
I MUST PITCH A STRIKE NOW
Just swing that bat.
It'll be a ball!
WHAT WILL BE HIS DECISION?
It goes far! It's another ball!
HE SIGHS
OH, NO
FRUSTRATED
PROFESSOR SEO
MAKES ANOTHER GOOD PLAY
AS EXPECTED, PROFESSOR SEO
LET'S CHEER FOR HIM
The ninth inning of CK Monsters
had us all on our toes.
The score is evened out!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
-Come on!
-Nice!
PATS ON HIS BACK
-Nice.
-Great job.
-Come here!
-Yes!
Monsters turn the game
back into five to five.
The game restarts now.
This match is unbelievable.
They turned the game into a tie
against the ace of the university league.
How about Jun-seon?
Just one more. One more batter.
He can't come down yet.
Not enough strikes.
He only got one batter out.
You're powerful, so get closer.
Get closer. It's a tie anyway.
All bases loaded.
All bases loaded!
Hong-ku, finish him.
"Finish him"?
Lift it up, Hong-ku.
(NO GROUND BALL)
It doesn't look good, watch out.
First pitch, ball.
NICE START!
-It's a ball!
-Good.
Nice catch, Hong-ku.
He lost with his first pitch.
That means the pitcher will now
throw in the dead center.
Right.
Lee Hong-ku has a great swing.
HE MUST GO FOR THAT!
Make a hit!
-Lee Hong-ku!
-Lee Hong-ku!
1 OUT, FULL BASE
Think of it as practice and swing.
JUST BRING 2 PEOPLE IN, HONG-KU
-Lee Hong-ku!
-Lee Hong-ku!
He hits. The pitcher catches.
THE BATTED BALL SLIDES BACK
INTO THE PITCHER'S GLOVE
Hey, he can get two.
-Run.
-Darn it.
Goodness, Hong-ku.
-Run quickly!
-Run faster!
The pitcher catches.
The second base. And the first.
He gets the first too. A double play.
That's it!
NICE DOUBLE PLAY!
DONG-EUI DIDN'T LOSE ANOTHER POINT
FLOPS DOWN
Darn it.
What was that?
A DOUBLE PLAY?
That was something
we shouldn't be seeing now.
WE HAD A CHANCE TO TURN IT AROUND
Come on, Hong-ku.
GROANING
The inning ends like this.
CK Monsters stop once again at a tie.
Five to five, a tie.
And the game continues
to the bottom of the ninth.
GOING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH
This is fun.
Let's get to defense. Fielding.
Why did that fly toward the pitcher?
Man, this isn't good.
WE HAVE NO PITCHER…
Now, they don't have a pitcher.
We're at an advantage
even if we play an extra inning.
Okay, let's play one last time. Okay?
-Let's go.
-Let's go!
LET'S BAT ONE LAST TIME!
We didn't think
the bottom of the ninth would come.
We're out of pitchers.
CK Monsters have no one
after Shim Soo-chang.
ONE POINT WILL DECIDE
Will CK Monsters win today?
Will they face their first defeat?
Everything is on Shim Soo-chang.
Yes, and regardless of that,
here's what happened now.
They played hard and created a tie,
but it didn't end too well.
Baseball is all about the flow.
Dong-eui thought they'd lose a point.
However, it ended before that.
-Soo-chang, pitch as if we're losing.
-Yes.
It's pressing to think we're winning.
Of course, I thought I should pitch
to play the extra inning.
All I thought about was
to stop them in this inning.
Stop them at all costs.
That batter is up first again.
He went out 100 percent today.
An Hyeon-tae.
He'll definitely try to hit a bunt.
The first batter hits well,
so he should strike him out first.
MONSTERS GET READY
FOR THE FINAL FIELDING
First pitch. A breaking ball. A strike.
-Okay.
-Okay, good.
Good.
NICE START!
-You can stop him!
-Stop them and come!
Let's stop them!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
SWING AND MISS
STRIKE
He follows the ball and swings.
Two strikes.
Okay!
Good, okay!
HE'S AT AN ADVANTAGE
Hyeon-tae, contact the ball!
Shim Soo-chang got up from the eighth,
and he's throwing at ease,
showing his elegance as the ace.
Although he's at two strikes,
he can't go easy on An Hyeon-tae.
Think, Hyeon-tae.
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
The count is one and two.
-Strike.
-An accurate pitch on the outside.
HE STOPS HIM WITH PERFECT PITCHES
Strikeout.
NICE, SOO-CHANG
Come back!
SOO-CHANG BRINGS
THE GAME BACK TO THEM
BITTER…
After the first game,
Shim Soo-chang didn't do so well
during the last game.
It looks like
he came prepared for this one.
His pitch was perfect.
They gave us the game.
Dong-eui just gave us the game.
Baseball is all about the flow.
Shim won't let them have it.
HIS PERFECT PITCH SIGNALS HIS RETURN
1 OUT, NO RUNNERS
Kang Jun-seo is at bat now.
He recorded a three-base hit
against Shim Soo-chang in the last game.
HIS BOLD IMPRESSION STILL LINGERS
1ST GAME AGAINST DONG-EUI
FIRST BATTER
IT'S A HIT!
Center-left.
It drops right before the fence.
JUN-SEO MADE A THREE-BASE HIT
AGAINST SOO-CHANG
These two face each other again.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
First pitch, a ball.
JUN-SEO HELD BACK WELL
WITHOUT GETTING FOOLED
SOO-CHANG, PLEASE…
IT'S A BATTLE OVER THEIR PRIDE
I'LL STOP HIM THIS TIME
IT'S A HIT!
He hits.
Man, come on.
He got it.
NO WAY, AGAIN?
He hits. Center-left.
It drops clean.
Kang Jun-seo reaches
the second base again.
-Man.
-He'll go to the third.
JEEZ, HE'LL GO TO THE THIRD…
Kang Jun-seo reaches
the second base again.
Dong-eui University creates
yet another long hit.
He's Kang Jun-seo,
Shim Soo-chang's natural enemy.
-Great job!
-Yes!
JOY AND SORROW
After this game airs, I think
Kang Jun-seo will become a star.
There's no one
who plays as well as he does.
His batting is amazing.
He made three hits today.
No, throw in the bunt, and it's four hits.
KANG JUN-SEO'S EVERY HIT
BECOMES AT LEAST A SINGLE
We can't keep the flow without scoring.
They got the flow.
Keep an eye out.
JUN-SEO IS THE FINAL RUNNER
HIS TEAM WILL LOSE
ONCE KANG JUN-SEO COMES IN
Let the back go. Just the front.
Let the back go. Just the front.
Here's why we're doing this.
If our defense is in the back,
Kang Jun-seo will come in
-because he's fast.
-Yes.
He brings the defense in to prevent that.
A QUICK MEASURE
AGAINST A QUICK RUNNER
We can't help it.
We can't catch it if it flies back.
AN AGGRESSIVE MEASURE
The runner is on the second,
so do you know
what Shim Soo-chang must do?
He must stop Heo Ji-won.
Here's the reason.
He needs to eliminate Yoo Tae-ung.
He must be ready to make tough pitches
to make it hard for him to hit.
So he must strike out the batter
who comes before him.
The fifth and the last pitcher
of CK Monsters, Shim Soo-chang,
Make it difficult.
FIRST PITCH
STRIKE
First pitch, a strike.
OKAY!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
The second pitch went out a little.
-Hey!
-Good pitch.
SO CLOSE…
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
Soo-chang, eyes on the runner.
He wants to run.
JUN-SEO BROADENS HIS LEAD
3RD PITCH, ONCE AGAIN
BALL
Pitch lightly.
SHAKEN WITH PRESSURE
The first is empty.
A low one.
Two balls, one strike. Shim Soo-chang.
It flies outside.
-Okay.
-He pitched three balls.
He's falling behind now.
He must pitch and win now.
Hit with confidence.
THIS IS OUR CHANCE
DETERMINED
Should I fill the first?
-Isn't that better?
-It's not a bad idea.
Let's just fill the first place.
INTENTIONAL WALK
HE WANTS TO FILL THE 1ST BASE?
BUT YOO TAE-UNG IS UP NEXT
The balance was better than before.
I was confident.
But I wondered
if I'll fill the first or not.
That's what I wondered.
INTENTIONAL WALK OR HEAD-TO-HEAD
WHAT WILL SOO-CHANG DO?
(MOVES OUT)
INTENTIONAL WALK
BALL
SOO-CHANG FILLS THE 1ST BASE
-He pitched out on purpose.
-He did.
WE ACTUALLY LOVE IT!
-It's better to fill it up.
-Yes, it's better.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE GAME?
One out, runners on first and second.
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES
The catcher walked out,
and the pitcher threw the ball
way outside of the box.
Yes, he made that choice
in this situation.
But up next is today's best batter.
Yoo Tae-ung came three times
in scoring positions
with three hits and four RBIs today.
Hit it. Stay confident. Do it, Tae-ung.
ENDLESS TRUST
He's the best batter.
WILL THIS WORK?
I only wanted to make two outs at once.
No matter what happens,
I wanted to make a double play.
THE FINISHING RUNNER
GIVES HIM PRESSURE FROM THE BACK
The batter is up.
One out, runners at first and second.
His first pitch bounced outside.
HE RUSHED AND PITCHED OUTSIDE
TAE-UNG, LET'S GO!
Let's get two!
SOO-CHANG, PLEASE…
What Shim Soo-chang must do is
throw as low as he can
and break the ball at the tip.
He must throw a splitter
to create a ground ball.
Let's take it slow.
-You're rushing again.
-Okay.
Let's take it slow.
Relax and take it slow.
HE CATCHES HIS BREATH ONCE AGAIN
First pitch, a ball. Shim Soo-chang.
He hits the second pitch. It's a foul.
2ND PITCH
FOUL
Let's do a double play!
Focus!
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
-Strike.
-It comes in near the torso.
-Strike.
-It comes in near the torso.
The pitcher's perfect strike.
THE COUNT IS
TO SOO-CHANG'S ADVANTAGE
A light swing will send it far.
They're close.
Hit lightly.
BRACES HIMSELF
The count is in favor of the pitcher.
MONSTERS 5 : 5 DONG-EUI
HE MUST STRIKE HIM OUT
Shim Soo-chang.
He pitches toward his torso.
He runs again.
HE HIT!
He pitches toward his torso.
He runs again.
The third baseman goes in.
A PERFECT CHANCE FOR A DOUBLE PLAY!
The third baseman catches. To the second.
DARN IT
YES!
WILL IT…
He did it.
BECOME A DOUBLE PLAY?
MISSED THROW
THE BALL FLIES AWAY!
He catches. To the second.
The ball flies out as he runs.
JUN-SEO, LET'S GO!
No.
OH NO…
ONE MISTAKE CREATED THIS CATACLYSM
Darn it.
And the runner continues.
He returns home!
MONSTERS 5 : 6 DONG-EUI
The game ends!
CK Monsters record
their first loss like this.
JUN-SEO SCORES AND ENDS THE GAME
GREAT JOB, DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY
We should've won with a single.
We should've won with a single.
IT'S A FESTIVAL
Why did you throw it at me?
Why did you throw it at me?
-Come on, team.
-You're the best scorer.
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY
WINS THE 2ND MATCH
JOY AND SORROW
We made a mistake and let them win.
The first loss of CK Monsters feel
even harsher and more painful.
UNBELIEVABLE MISTAKE,
UNBELIEVABLE FIRST LOSS
SHIM SOO-CHANG
Good game.
-Good game.
-Good job.
Good game.
THEY HAD FORGOTTEN
WHAT A DEFEAT FELT LIKE
IT COMES RUSHING BACK TO THEM
Go to the side.
-Good game.
-Good game.
THEY SHARE A GOODBYE AS LOSERS
FOR THE FIRST TIME
-Great job.
-Good game.
-I knew it.
-You've done well.
Monsters ended up recording
their first loss today.
We won one and lost one against Dong-eui.
They have one last chance,
so they better come prepared.
CK Monsters lost for the first time
in their fifth game.
That's all for today.
Kim Sun-woo was the commentator.
I'm the caster, Jeong Yong-geom.
Go over to them as a group
and thank your seniors. Go as a group.
-Get closer.
-To your seniors.
-Say it loudly.
-Let's go.
Let's say it loudly.
Let us say goodbye.
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
Why don't you do it when you lose?
Seriously. They say thanks
only when they win.
THEY'RE THANKING US
ONLY AFTER WINNING
Man, this is so annoying.
THEY'RE TAKEN OVER WITH DEFEAT
THE GAME WAS SO FIERCE
THAT THEY'RE MORE DISAPPOINTED
MONSTERS 5 : 6 DONG-EUI
Darn it.
THE MONSTERS RETURN TO THE LOCKER
-Good game.
-This is so annoying.
I've lost many games in my career,
and I wondered
why losses always follow me.
I guess I lost my spirit too.
-Man.
-Good job.
In the end, he hit a ground ball
toward the third base as I planned.
But an unexpected twist
dropped in like that.
Well, I'm quite flustered.
But first, I won't make an excuse.
I didn't throw it well.
The game didn't end so well,
so I'm not sure
how it'll affect the next game.
I hope others aren't as affected by it.
-Good game.
-Good game.
I've lost so many times in my career,
but why is one loss so frustrating?
TODAY'S LOSS IS
EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING
I don't think I can express
how I feel in a nutshell.
It's just very embarrassing.
This is why we must win. That's sports.
Losers have nothing to say.
THEY FEEL DESPERATE TO WIN
THE AIR IN THE LOCKER ROOM
IS FROZEN COLD
I'm very annoyed.
Very much.
Although I'm retired now,
I realized that I'm still burning inside
and I despise losing.
I realized that once again.
I'm furious at our loss.
I'm even more furious
because it's mostly my responsibility.
And I'm even angrier
because this is all I can do.
WIN, YOU LEARN A LITTLE,
BUT LOSE, YOU CAN LEARN EVERYTHING
A QUOTE BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON
Why did you end up losing again?
-Exactly. Man.
-Just let me have it.
I'll take it. It's mine.
THE MONSTERS HAVE GONE CRAZY
AND EXHAUSTED AT THEIR LOSS
The last seat.
DOWN…
It's cold today.
It's cold.
ONLY SILENCE FILLS THE CLOSING SHOOT
We usually begin by clapping.
WE USUALLY BEGIN BY CLAPPING…
Okay.
We can't go to Hawaii anymore.
Hawaii.
SUDDENLY? HAWAII?
WHEN THE MONSTERS TALKED
ABOUT WINNING EVERY SINGLE GAME
IF WE WIN ALL 30 GAMES,
WE SHOULD AT LEAST GO TO HAWAII…
WHAT DID I SAY I'LL DO
IF YOU WIN 24 GAMES?
OKINAWA
IF YOU WIN 30 GAMES,
WE'LL GO TO HAWAII!
ALOHA, OH YEAH
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
HE'LL BRING STRONGER OPPONENTS
FROM NOW ON!
THEY WERE THRILLED
AT THE THOUGHT OF HAWAII
THEY HAVEN'T EVEN LEFT SONGDO
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME…
Let's go to Sydney.
ALL OF A SUDDEN
-Australia.
-Stop.
That's enough.
-He tries hard.
-What's he saying?
Let's go to Australia
and catch a kangaroo.
You're the losing pitcher. Be quiet.
YOU'RE THE LOSING PITCHER, BE QUIET
Why do losses always follow me?
Now, CK Monsters played
a total of five games.
You now record four wins and one loss.
Your current winning average
is 80 percent.
Your average is 80 percent.
We won't do the closing for long.
Manager Lee?
Well, we did our best.
Today was the biggest crisis,
and we couldn't overcome it.
Because we lost once,
we can light up our vigor
one more time.
I just shared this with the players.
When you play sports,
we must always play and win
to smile after a game.
We felt that only winners get to smile.
So we'll come back prepared.
When we're back, we will make sure we win.
THEY'RE SERIOUS AGAIN
Can we laugh a little?
This is a variety show.
What do we do about this mood?
Let me share some good news.
Kim Moon-ho returns
to a batting average of .300.
CONGRATULATIONS,
MOON-HO A REGAINED BATTING AVERAGE OF .300
SURE, THAT SOUNDS VERY COOL…
FEELING AWKWARD
We won't shoot this discouraging moment.
Keep up your condition, and in two weeks,
you'll play the final round
against Dong-eui,
the third match.
We'll play here again, here at Songdo.
We'll play here.
Lastly, let's hear from the captain
as we move on to play the third round.
Well, I haven't felt this awful
in a while.
-I see.
-Yes.
I'm sure everyone did this interview
after the first game.
That they felt alive
and felt their heart race.
And we felt something else
after we lost today.
"I'm a baseball player. I'm an athlete."
We won't be even 0,01 percent joking
when we play the next round.
Why don't you bring it in once?
I know you don't feel well,
but let's change the mood.
LET'S GATHER TOGETHER
-We're still airing.
-What do we do?
-Make sure you come prepared.
-Yes, okay.
Here we go.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Okay.
-Let's win next time!
-Let's win next time!
-Please.
You must keep the series going.
Yes.
5 GAMES 4 WINS 1 LOSS
WIN PERCENTAGE .800
Kill it today.
Finish them.
The eyes and bats
of CK Monsters have changed.
Good. It'll be a dirty game today.
THE FINAL
THE LAST BATTLE
Let's go!
Go!
CK Monsters won't show mercy
at this moment.
Darn it.
CK MONSTERS HAS GOTTEN STRONGER
Have CK Monsters always been like this?
BUT THEY'RE UP AGAINST DONG-EUI
-Right fielder.
-Run quickly!
He can't catch it!
You can't lose today.
He catches!
BOTH TEAMS PLAY
WITH THEIR EVERYTHING
Seriously, come on.
WHO'LL WIN IN THE END?
Two outs, full base, and a full count.
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
Be careful of his long hits.
Go.
CK MONSTERS VS DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY
