CK MONSTERS MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP
183 DAYS TOGETHER…
LAST GAME AS THE MONSTERS' MANAGER
I'll have a clean game today.
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
WE'LL GIVE YOU THE LAST VICTORY
FOR MANAGER LEE'S LAST VICTORY
THE MONSTERS GIVE THEIR ALL
THE MONSTERS STRUGGLE
TOWARDS VICTORY
Okay.
THE MONSTERS DO THEIR BEST
HARDER THAN EVER
-We have to win today.
-Let's go, Taek-keun.
HIGHER!
It goes up high and it flies…
FARTHER!
THE TWO-RUN HOMER
DECIDES THEIR VICTORY
-That's cool.
-I'm happy.
Song Seung-jun is in crisis.
He hits the dropping ball.
EVERYONE BECAME ONE
IN THE MOST PASSIONATE AUTUMN
The last victory…
THE 183 DAYS TOGETHER…
COMES TO AN END
THE ABSENCE OF CK MONSTERS' MANAGER
All right.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop has left.
Are we playing without a manager today?
Is he coming today?
WE'LL REVEAL HIM NOW
LATE AT NIGHT AFTER THE 1ST MATCH
WITH BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL
CURRENT TIME
A MYSTERIOUS VEHICLE ARRIVES
IN FRONT OF THE STADIUM
PARK YONG-TAEK
MISSED THE MANAGER'S LAST GAME
What is all this?
Come here.
CHARGING AT HIM
Hang on.
Jeez, seriously…
This is brutal.
What time is it exactly?
It's 2:30 a.m.
DUMBFOUNDED
YONG-TAEK IS ABDUCTED
-Hello.
-Welcome.
It's 2:30 a.m. in the morning.
-Please take a seat.
-Did he pass away?
It looks like a funeral portrait.
-Please sit down.
-Okay.
-You had to broadcast a playoff,
-Yes.
so you couldn't play the game today.
We abducted you because…
Why is my heart racing?
Jeez.
NERVOUS
Tell me you won't release me.
INTIMIDATED
Our team is in crisis.
Right.
The manager transferred during the season.
We need to play a game
in 11 and a half hours.
Right.
-You're the only leader on the team.
-Okay.
So what I can do is make you,
Park Yong-taek, the acting manager.
PARK YONG-TAEK, THE ACTING MANAGER
You're doing everything you can.
YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING ON THE SHOW…
If this happened in the beginning,
I'd feel less pressure.
But now every game is like the postseason.
-Is it?
-Yes. It's fall baseball.
MAX CONCERN
We have to face strong teams.
We have to play. We have to win.
WE MUST WIN
Give him the lineup sheet now.
GIVE HIM THE LINEUP SHEET NOW
Give him the lineup sheet now.
SOBBING(?)
IT'S TIME TO WORK
-And…
-All right.
Give me today's records.
Don't sleep tonight.
I can't sleep.
I'm writing the lineup
for the first time in my life.
-Right.
-Yes.
I can't sleep.
This is what I think.
We might discover
Manager Park Yong-taek's new talent.
I have
a very small hope.
"A very small hope"?
Did I hear it right?
If I say big hope,
you might feel too much pressure.
Okay.
-I have another question.
-What is it?
Am I fired as a player?
No?
-If I don't become a real manager,
-Yes.
-can I go back to being a player?
-Yes.
Thank you.
I should set conditions.
WE'LL SPARE YOUR LIFE(?)
You're the first one
to know about the acting manager system.
Pretend you're a player
until the opening of the show tomorrow.
Okay.
Shall I pretend like I don't know?
Yes, pretend you don't know anything.
Don't ask, "How do you feel today?"
Okay.
-Deft acting.
-Yes.
Baseball is all about results, after all.
Of course.
-Please lead the team to victory.
-Yes, I will.
If you lose tomorrow,
they'll call you names.
THEY'LL CALL YOU ALL KINDS OF NAMES
I'm sorry.
Don't do anything
that makes you say sorry.
Well, you should get mad at him.
He has no sense of responsibility.
-Let's take this and go to the office.
-Okay.
Thanks for the nice present.
-You must win.
-I will.
Give me the detailed data.
You won't sleep tonight like me.
PULLING AN ALL-NIGHTER
THE DIE IS CAST
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
-Bye.
-Thanks.
IT'S MORNING IN BUSAN
SAJIK BASEBALL STADIUM
I'm so curious. I couldn't sleep.
-I wonder who the new manager is.
-Me too.
When will he be here?
Will he come for the opening?
He'll come for the opening.
Hyun-in.
Search through Sajik Baseball Stadium.
-Yes, sir.
-No, it's okay.
(TEASING HYUN-IN UNTIL THE END)
-Today is your last day with us.
-Yes.
You startled me.
I thought you were the manager.
TRAINER OH SE-HUN
EVERY NERVE IS FOCUSED
ON THE MANAGER…
Because he's wearing a jacket.
It could be a surprise.
"Hello, I'm Manager Oh Se-hun."
-I'm sorry I fooled you.
-Really?
The second manager is here.
THE 2ND MANAGER IS HERE
-Batter one. Lee Taek-keun.
-Yes, sir.
-Batter two. Kim Moon-h*.
-Yes, sir.
Batter three. Ryu Hyun-in.
MANAGER CANDIDATE 2:
SHIM SOO-CHANG(?)
(WHAT IS THIS NOISE?)
-What are you doing?
-My head hurts.
Tell him to go home.
That was close.
I ALMOST GOT SENT HOME(?)
This is what I think.
Isn't it weird
that Yong-taek isn't still here?
They must've told him the time.
Don't overestimate Yong-taek.
He's here.
Speak of the devil.
Hello, Manager Park.
What do you mean by Manager Park?
Stop being silly.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Manager Park.
-Hello, Manager Park.
-Don't be silly.
(FREAKING OUT)
Did someone say it was me?
SUPER FLUSTERED
Yong-taek, did you bring a suit?
Yes, I did.
Why?
Is it because you're the manager?
What are you talking about?
Manager, please pull the infield back.
MANAGER CANDIDATE 3:
PARK YONG-TAEK(?)
Why did you bring a suit?
HE'S ALREADY TIRED(?)
Why did you close the door?
-Is someone going to the manager's office?
-Right.
(WATCHING)
Someone is walking by.
Hong-ku, listen to the footsteps.
We won't look.
Listen to the voice.
Security is tight.
Who is it? Is it the president?
MANAGER CANDIDATE 4:
THE PRESIDENT(?)
Security is so tight.
I saw a uniform with the number 38.
-Number 38?
-Yes.
NUMBER 38?
I don't know. I talked to him
on the phone a few days ago.
He said he'd arrive in ten days.
Everyone is quiet
since Manager Kim Sung-keun was mentioned.
QUIET
Someone will have to come today.
-A manager?
-We need someone to play the game.
-He'll come for the opening.
-Manager and Coach will come.
I see.
He's here.
(OPENING)
Why did you open the door?
Did he go in?
-Why did you open the door?
-Hong-ku, did he go in?
-Didn't you hear anything?
-I didn't hear a thing.
What did you do sitting there?
I told you to listen.
There wasn't any noise.
THERE WASN'T ANY NOISE…
I'm so curious.
Seriously, who is it?
WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?
He's mad.
He must be somewhere in the stadium.
WILL HE BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT
HIS FIRST MISSION?
NOW WE'LL MEET
THE 1,5TH MONSTERS' MANAGER!
THIS MANAGER'S SEAT IS
TO FOOL EVERYONE
Is this for the manager?
Dae-eun.
Dae-eun, what are you doing?
-Come here. It's Taek-keun's.
-Is it?
It's empty.
-Just stand.
-Soo-hyun has no seat.
There's no chair left.
-Where's Soo-hyun's seat?
-Sit anywhere.
Manager and Coach…
BOLDLY GOING AFTER
THE MANAGER'S SEAT(?)
Manager Choi Soo-hyun?
Everyone is here.
There's an empty seat.
Take the chair out for now.
THE BAIT HAS BEEN GIVEN
Isn't he here today?
When will the manager be here?
Shall we sit closer?
(NATURALLY MOVING TO THE CENTER)
Is the general manager the manager?
DOUBTING
Really?
Is the general manager the manager?
I have a bad feeling.
AWKWARD
Is a manager very important in baseball?
No.
FIRM
-I'm sorry.
-Say that again
when the manager comes.
-Say that again.
-He won't change.
(A FORCED SMILE)
Compared to other sports,
I don't think
a manager has a big role in baseball.
Moon-h*, what do you think?
I agree with him.
Yesterday you said
it was all thanks to Manager Lee.
-He'll be upset.
-After saying all that,
you suddenly changed.
But this was all he did.
But this was all he did.
He always did this.
(YOU MUST BE CRAZY)
(IS THAT MY FUTURE?)
Actually, players are important.
-Are players important?
-Yes.
Players make good managers.
Is that so?
You keep making serious comments.
Stop hounding me.
TAKEN ABACK
I thought
you'd be sad after the manager left.
But you seem really happy.
SUPER HAPPY(?)
We were sad yesterday. We're okay now.
WE'RE OKAY NOW
(HE CAN'T LAUGH)
As the general manager,
I think a manager is important.
So I will announce
the second manager of CK Monsters.
I'm really curious.
-Was Sun-woo here yesterday?
-Yes.
Was he?
All right. CK Monsters, from now on,
we'll have an acting manager.
A part-time manager?
-Manager Lee Young-bok?
-What?
-Manager Lee Young-bok.
-Manager Lee Young-bok?
-Right?
-They're friends.
Yes, Manager Lee Young-bok.
Is it Manager Lee Young-bok?
The acting manager is…
NERVOUS
EXCITED
…the oldest player of CK Monsters,
Park Yong-taek.
It's Park Yong-taek.
PARK YONG-TAEK?
(WHAT?)
Let me announce the lineup.
LEAPING FORWARD
SURPRISED
LAUGHING
He made a call!
He called.
Is he a manager or an acting manager?
-An acting manager.
-I see.
Let me announce the lineup.
I'm sorry. Please sit down.
Sit down.
I wondered what it was.
He had something in his pocket.
He pushed the chair back.
Isn't the manager
the most important in baseball?
TRYING TO BE IN HIS FAVOR
Please push the infielders back.
Coincidentally,
I'm the starting pitcher today.
How could the acting manager
not know about the starter?
Moon-h*, what do you think?
I'm satisfied. It's not so bad.
(QUICKLY CHANGING SIDES)
Satisfied with what?
Because we need a manager.
If a well-known player becomes a manager…
Everyone here is well-known.
-You're well-known too.
-Okay.
If you're an acting manager,
do you also play?
It'd be helpful if he didn't play.
INTERNET TROLL(?)
I'll be cool-headed.
TRYING TO BE COOL
How long will he do this?
SERIOUS
How long will he do this?
LAUGHING
For six hours.
For six hours only.
Until the new manager comes.
I'm going to quit.
ABOUT TO CRY
Let me be clear.
It's an acting manager system.
If he doesn't do well,
we'll change managers.
SCOFFING…
WHAT IS THAT?
It's like a class leader, not a manager.
Will we take turns?
I have no authority.
NO AUTHORITY
The acting manager has been decided.
He'll decide
who will be the acting captain.
The acting captain is…
THE ACTING CAPTAIN IS…
Jeong Seong-hoon.
ACTING CAPTAIN JEONG SEONG-HOON
(TAKEN ABACK)
Are you surprised?
I've never been a captain in my life.
IN 20 YEARS OF KBO LIFE
Leave if you won't do it.
IS THAT A NO?
I'll think about it.
OKAY
I think Seong-hoon will actually leave.
I have no authority!
I've never seen anyone
with less authority.
CRYING(?)
ACTUALLY, I'M NOT LAUGHING…
Let's talk about today's game.
-Please announce the lineup.
-Yes.
ANNOUNCING THE LONG-AWAITED LINEUP
I considered your recent conditions a lot
when coming up with this lineup.
Batter one. Second baseman Choi Soo-hyun.
Yes, sir.
-What?
-What?
WHAT?
Batter two. Center fielder Jeong Keun-woo.
What?
Center fielder Jeong Keun-woo.
WHAT?
When a director says something,
say "Yes, sir."
How can you say "What"?
Why are you trying to k*ll me?
-I was on the field yesterday.
-For the first time…
Will he put me on the field too?
Batter three. Shortstop Ryu Hyun-in.
-Yes, sir.
-What?
BATTER 3 SHORTSTOP RYU HYUN-IN
Batter four. DH Lee Hong-ku.
DH Lee Hong-ku.
Yes, sir.
That's shocking.
He'll be my trusted
fourth hitter.
A SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT
Won't Manager Lee come back?
Jeez.
He's losing trust already.
NO TRUST(?)
You're driving me nuts.
All right.
Don't be like that to the acting manager.
Batter five. Right fielder Kim Moon-h*.
-Yes, sir.
-Okay.
He's happy.
Left fielder Jung Eui-yoon. Batter six.
Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
-Why do you answer like that?
Yes, sir.
(EXTREMELY UPSET)
Batter seven. First baseman Seo Dong-wook.
Yes, sir.
Batter eight. Catcher Park Chan-hui.
-Yes, sir.
-Catcher?
Batter nine.
Third baseman Park Seung-hwan.
Yes, sir.
What about me? Am I not playing?
Batter nine.
First base coach
Lee Taek-keun.
First base coach
Lee Taek-keun.
Taek-keun, get ready as the pinch hitter
from the first inning.
What do you mean?
Come on.
I feel like crying.
I had two hits yesterday!
You're driving me nuts.
We had a hard time
bringing A Clean Sweep this far.
Listen to the acting manager.
Why am I the center fielder?
Let's trust the acting manager.
This is bad. You don't know
what will happen in the first inning.
Maybe not in the first inning.
You'll play
when there's a good opportunity.
-I'll do my best.
-Trust the acting manager.
Third base coach
-Jeong Seong-hoon.
-Yes.
You're the second pinch hitter,
so get ready.
-I can't bend my arm.
-Just do it.
Let's trust the acting manager.
Nobody's saying yes to him at once.
Everyone is making a comment.
Who says Yoo Hee-kwan
is the starting pitcher?
Am I not the starting pitcher?
-Who said it?
-Trust him.
Trust him.
You told us to trust him.
-But…
-Sit down.
-Sit down.
-Take your seat.
-So who is the starter?
-The starting pitcher?
Oh Ju-won.
TAKEN ABACK
What?
Oh Ju-won.
FRUSTRATED
-What? You're driving me nuts.
-Jeez.
(BREATHLESS)
Jeez.
It's a mess.
Can't I be on the show for two weeks?
-Yesterday you said I'd be…
-Sit down.
Okay.
I didn't play yesterday
because I'm today's starter.
He got ready for nothing.
Do you want me to explain them one by one?
Jeez.
-Is this for real?
-Anyway,
Oh Ju-won is the starting pitcher.
DEJECTED…
Why did I tell everyone
to trust the manager?
Infielders. Third baseman, shortstop,
second baseman. I want to see
the young members play.
Center fielder will have a change of pace.
What do you mean by that?
I don't need a change of pace.
What do you want from me?
This is so frustrating.
LAUGHING(?)
All right.
-Rhee Dae-eun.
-Yes.
-Good luck today.
-Okay.
Good luck in the dugout.
-Is "good luck" a position?
-And,
just in case,
Song Seung-jun
and Jang Won-sam, please be ready.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
-You'll pitch depending on the hitter.
-Shim Soo-chang.
I missed Soo-chang.
HIS NAME ISN'T
EVEN ON THE WAITING LIST
-You have to do well.
-Beg him.
You have to work hard.
We'll see how the game plays out.
Soo-chang will pitch if he has to.
-I'll do my best.
-That's all.
I'll do my best.
We'll go with the lineup drawn up
by Park Yong-taek, the acting manager.
The starting pitcher.
I'm a little taken aback.
But since I'm the starting pitcher,
I'll throw with responsibility
and do my best
until whatever inning I have to pitch.
The new fourth hitter will say a word.
As the fourth hitter is a burdensome
and responsible position,
I'll try to show good results in the game.
The new fifth batter.
THE LAST OF THE CLEANUP TRIO
I like my position. The acting manager…
Son of Park Yong-taek.
The acting manager's locker
is right next to mine.
I'm glad we're next to each other.
-You're on his side.
-Please take good care of me.
NODDING
We always said he had no impact,
but now he's on the rise.
You're quick.
Yong-taek completely got rid
of Lee Seung-yuop's color.
-Don't frame me.
-He's amazing.
He's rebuilding A Clean Sweep.
I don't remember Manager Lee anymore.
Players need a good manager.
HOLDING GRUDGES(?)
We were laughing
and having fun during the opening,
but we have to play a real game.
Out of 21, you won 16 and lost 5 games.
You need to win eight and lose one
in order to go to Okinawa.
Let's do a cheer and get warmed up.
-Let's go.
-All right.
-Captain, come here.
-Jeez.
Now that we have an acting manager,
we have to do well
instead of following him.
WHAT?
ACTING MANAGER HAS NO AUTHORITY
Jeez.
Don't follow him. We just have to do well.
Let's all do well together.
Why leave me out?
Instead of following him.
The acting manager will have his plan.
But we need to win, so let's win the game.
All right. Let's go.
-CK Monsters!
-CK Monsters!
LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!
"Instead of following him"? What is that?
I have no authority at all.
HOW WILL IT AFFECT TODAY'S GAME?
The new head of the team
has been elected today.
What will happen to the Monsters?
Hello, everyone.
Today we have the second match
between Busan High School and CK Monsters.
Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with me.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Yesterday was Manager Lee's last game.
Today the new head,
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek,
was appointed.
Until yesterday he was a fellow player,
but now he's the acting manager.
A Clean Sweep has become a different show.
The players have started to choose sides.
A Clean Sweep is becoming
a political TV show.
Don't you think
it became a real baseball league?
Yes.
They're taking a picture by themselves.
Lee Taek-keun is
in the center of the picture.
I'm looking forward to today's game.
We'll gain momentum from the beginning
to win the game for sure.
Our plan is to win no matter what.
We'll be different from yesterday and win.
The most important thing is victory.
It's my first day as the head.
I hope it becomes
a very good memory for me.
Today we have a pitching ceremony.
Yesterday we had Yeom Jong-seok.
Today we have a pitching ceremony
by Joo Hyung-Kwang.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Lotte's legend.
BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNUS
Nice.
Hello. I'm a former Lotte Giants pitcher,
Joo Hyung-Kwang.
Nice to meet you.
LOTTE GIANTS'
ONE-CLUB MAN OF 14 YEARS
ACE LEFT-HANDED PITCHER
PROVEN BY RECORDS
THE YOUNGEST PITCHER
TO HAVE A COMPLETE GAME
IN 1999,
HE GAVE HIS FANS
A MOMENT TO REMEMBER FOREVER
FOOTAGE BY KBO
Sajik Baseball Stadium
and Lotte's Joo Hyung-kwang.
I still remember him.
He was loved by every fan.
Of course.
Thank you for giving me a chance to pitch
on A Clean Sweep.
I'll continue to support you
to become a precedent.
Thank you.
WE BELIEVE IN YOU
I watched him play a lot when I was young.
This is a very touching moment.
Of course.
(CHECKING)
It's 98km/h!
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'M WATCHING HIM PITCH AGAIN!
It was the Giants' left-handed
ace pitcher Joo Hyung-kwang.
-He did a great job. Thank you.
-Yes.
Now they're getting ready
to play the game.
The starting pitcher of Busan High School,
Sung Yeong-tak, is on the mound.
It's fast.
Seong-hoon said his ball was slow
and his breaking ba*ls were good.
Even when runners get on base,
he is able to manage crises.
He has a lot of guts on the mound.
I have great expectations.
Let's see how he does
against the new CK Monsters.
Let's finish the game
in the seventh inning.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry. We'll end the game quickly.
We have a long way to go.
We have a long way to go, kids.
Acting Manager
Park Yong-taek's first game begins now.
Batter one Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.
Let's go.
THE MONSTERS' FIRST HITTER
CHOI SOO-HYUN
Jeong Keun-woo is no longer
the first hitter of the Monsters.
Choi Soo-hyun has replaced him.
It's the new baseball by Park Yong-taek.
I'm really curious.
Let's go.
HE HITS!
He pushes. Inside.
The hit goes past the third baseman.
IT'S A GOOD START!
This is it!
-Go more!
-Second.
-He's going.
-The hitter runs to second base.
He slips.
-No!
-Back!
-He stops and returns to first base.
-Okay.
HE GETS ON 1ST BASE CALMLY
Okay.
-Okay.
-Good.
PLEASED
-Good. Good feeling.
-You're alive.
Didn't Soo-hyun usually pull
when he played with the Monsters?
-Right.
-But look at this.
-He pushed without a problem.
-Yes.
He knew the outfielder caught the ball.
He tried to run to second aggressively,
but stopped.
He slipped last moment,
so it was a bit dangerous.
Still, he showed aggressiveness
as the first hitter.
Right.
-Here he is.
-It's the devil.
Devilish center fielder.
Jeong Keun-woo is today's center fielder.
He's batter two.
Before the 21st century,
the second hitter's role
was to carry out the team's strategy.
Recently it changed.
Powerful batters are placed second.
Yes. So I wonder
how the center fielder Jeong Keun-woo
will bat today.
HE HITS!
No!
-No!
-It's a ground ball.
-Okay.
-Double.
No!
It's a ground ball. Second baseman.
Shortstop. They can't catch it.
SO LUCKY!
-Okay!
-All right.
They both missed the ball.
Runners on second and first bases.
DEVILISH 2ND HITTER!
Good!
What a regrettable moment.
I thought it was an easy hit to catch.
Second baseman should've caught it.
But they both dodged it.
Right.
-It should've been a double.
-What?
-It should've been a double play.
-I know.
It's recorded as a mistake.
No outs. Runners on first and second.
Batter three Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
Today is his last day with CK Monsters.
It's his first at-bat today.
You cried because of Hyun-in yesterday.
How are you feeling now?
I'm okay now
because I saw everything I wanted.
HYUN-IN HIT A HOMERUN
IN THE 1ST MATCH AGAINST BUSAN HIGH
HYUN-IN SAID GOODBYE TO A CLEAN SWEEP
WITH A TWO-RUN HOME RUN
(BUTTON FOR TEARS SWITCHED ON)
Are you sure you won't cry
no matter how moved you are?
Hyun-in doesn't have
anything else to show us.
Show them, Hyun-in!
I STILL HAVE ONE SHOT LEFT!
WILL HYUN-IN DO IT AGAIN?
He pushes. It curves left.
Left fielder catches it.
MAYBE NEXT TIME!
-It's the fourth hitter! Hong-ku!
-He's here!
-Lee Hong-ku.
-It's him!
He's built like a fourth hitter.
It's batter four.
His OPS is number one.
His OPS is high.
Manager Lee's third
and fourth hitters had been fixed.
But now we have
a new fourth hitter, Lee Hong-ku.
Yes, Hong-ku is…
I…
HAD A DREAM!
He hits the first pitch.
Third baseman misses it.
-Go!
-Yes!
Run!
Go!
-Second base runner heads to home base.
-Okay.
The ball is thrown to home base.
He reaches home base first.
-Nice.
-Nice!
The batter reaches second base.
The Monsters score first.
KEUN-WOO AND HONG-KU
GET ON 2ND AND 3RD BASES!
Nice!
Good!
CK Monsters scored first
under the acting manager
Park Yong-taek's system.
Thank you.
-Good job.
-Thank you.
You're good.
Well done.
That's our fourth hitter.
Lee Hong-ku has been playing
superbly recently.
-That's why he's the fourth hitter.
-Yes.
He swings hard when he sees the ball.
Why? Because he's confident.
It was one out and runners
were on first and second bases.
So we needed a hit to score a point.
What a great hit.
-Okay, Soo-hyun. Good.
-Yes.
-Nice.
-Dee Gordon.
You're at your best.
Let's go to KBO!
They probably didn't know
the first inning would go this easily.
A GREAT NEW START
The batting order is good.
It's so perfect.
It's a good batting order.
It's good. It's tight.
-The batting order is tight.
-It's good.
It's tight since we're missing one.
SELF-DEPRECATION
Eui-yoon will have a chance again.
We have another runner
in scoring position.
Kim Moon-h* is at bat.
Moon-h*, we're watching you.
Moon-h* went up
to the acting manager first,
and put his hands on his shoulders.
MASSAGING
Moon-h* had always been
scolded by Manager Lee.
HE HAD 3 HITS,
BUT WHY DOESN'T HE STAND OUT?
Manager Lee underappreciated him
and said he wasn't memorable.
-He said that up until he left.
-Yes.
He was massaging
the acting manager's shoulders.
He became the fifth hitter right away.
The manager trusted my batting
and made me a cleanup hitter.
I should repay him.
Run!
He hits the first pitch.
Shortstop misses it.
-Yes.
-Go!
GREAT, MOON-h*!
Yes!
Shortstop misses it.
-The score is two to zero.
-Good.
Nice!
-Okay.
-Stop.
A PERFECT HIT FOLLOWED
BY A PERFECT MASSAGE
They put it as an error.
-It's an error.
-An error.
An error.
-It's an error.
-No impact.
No. It's a hit. It was a hard hit.
TAEK-KEUN IS LAUGHING
The kids seem dazed
because of the cameras.
It's regrettable to see Busan High School
-making two errors in the first inning.
-Yes.
It's too bad.
It's okay.
Timeout.
THE MANAGER OF BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL
VISITS THE MOUND
Hey, why are they all having hits?
Pardon?
-Are you telling them?
-No, sir.
-Do a good job.
-Yes, sir.
It's one out. Throw a low one
to make a double play.
-Jung Eui-yoon is slow.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
-Yes, sir.
Sung Yeong-tak has to control his mind.
Yes. There have been
two errors in one inning.
The score is two to zero.
Batter six Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
Send it lightly to the outfield.
-I think he'll hit a home run.
-It's a chance.
He'll hit a home run.
Manager Lee always had Jung Eui-yoon
as the fourth hitter.
Today he's the sixth batter.
Currently, the runners are
on first and third bases.
MONSTERS 2 : 0 BUSAN HIGH
HE HITS!
He pushes the first pitch.
It goes between first and second.
THE EX-4TH HITTER'S CLASS
-Nice!
-Nice.
The third base runner
reaches home leisurely.
-Another timely hit.
-Nice.
The score is three to zero.
DID YOU SEE IT?
I SAW IT!
Manager Park Yong-taek is really amazing.
There were errors
and an out count like you said.
But their batting speed
is fast, to begin with.
It's a good lineup!
It's a perfect lineup.
He came up with a great lineup.
The lineup is good.
(A SUDDEN POKER FACE)
We're making a big inning from the start.
Batter seven Seo Dong-wook is at bat.
BALL
It's a high ball.
-Good.
-Okay.
IT'S NOT NICE EYE ANYMORE
Before the game started,
Manager Park said they'd have
a called game in the seventh inning.
They need to keep scoring here then.
Right.
2 ba*ls
-All right.
-A ball.
Good judgment.
Seo Dong-wook's batting average is .230.
But his on-base percentage is .480.
-On-base percentage.
-Yes.
BRING IT ON!
He holds back on the dropping ball.
It's a base on ba*ls.
SEO DONG-WOOK, GOOD EYE
-Come on!
-All right!
Come on!
It's tight.
Seo Dong-wook
gets on base successfully again.
Yes. From the first inning, Manager Park's
-batters that don't die.
-Right.
He even saw the opponent's errors coming.
LAUGHING
-In that respect…
-Did he see them coming?
I don't know. He came up with the lineup
only a few days ago.
Batter eight Park Chan-hui is at bat.
Chan-hui, let's begin.
The first hit. A grand slam.
Soo-chang.
We should change train tickets
if we're playing only seven innings.
Right.
Show them.
STRIKE
Sung Yeong-tak will try to get a strikeout
rather than a ground ball.
The infield ground ball was a problem.
There is no problem with his pitching.
All right.
YEONG-TAK, FINISH HIM!
-Okay.
-Finish him!
SURPRISED
His ball has movements.
-He's finally warmed up.
-Yes.
Here we go. Infield, get ready!
-Okay.
-Hit it!
He needs a powerful strikeout.
ONE MORE STRIKE UNTIL A STRIKEOUT
Strike. He swings at a dropping ball.
Strikeout.
Jeez.
-Good.
-Okay.
Sung Yeong-tak
has his first strikeout today.
There had been hits
because the infielders made errors.
So nobody had actually hit his pitches.
He got a strikeout with his main pitch.
You're at an advantage!
There's only one out left.
Bases are loaded
and Park Seung-hwan is at bat.
Seung-hwan, have a hit.
Currently, the bases are full.
The first pitch goes out. It's a ball.
We'll have an easy game
if we have another hit.
We need one more hit.
2 ba*ls
-Two ba*ls.
-It's okay. Slowly.
SUNG YEONG-TAK HAS
AN UNFAVORABLE COUNT
-Good!
-Okay.
-We have a chance.
-Let's go.
-A chance.
-A hit!
Bases loaded.
2 OUTS, BASES LOADED
SCORE OR FINISH INNING
He hits a breaking ball. It's high.
Right fielder
and second baseman go after it.
Right fielder moves down and catches it.
Three outs with bases loaded.
But CK Monsters had a big inning.
The score is three to zero.
TEAM YONG-TAEK SCORED 3 POINTS
Just looking at the first inning,
it could be a hasty conclusion,
but so far, Manager Park Yong-taek's
choice should be applauded.
A 100%.
-Everything worked out the way he planned.
-Yes.
But baseball is played
until the ninth inning.
Why did you say it now then?
I should praise him when he does well.
I want to be
on the new manager's good side.
(A FREELANCER'S SURVIVAL)
Many people are
trying to be on his good side.
Keun-woo, run around all you want.
Okay?
Busan High School will be at bat
in the bottom of the first inning.
BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
MONSTERS 3 : 0 BUSAN HIGH
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek's choice
of the starting pitcher
crushed Sun-woo's prediction.
He chose Oh Ju-won.
I won't talk about pitchers today.
Why not?
ON STRIKE
He chose Oh Ju-won
as the starting pitcher.
Before the game, the team was confused.
-They even resisted.
-I don't know.
HE DOESN'T CARE
Shall I talk about the pitcher?
-Yes, please.
-Okay.
Oh Ju-won was taken aback,
but he said he'd prepare for it.
He's on the mound as the starter.
-You seem light today.
-The ball is light too.
Is that right?
EMBARRASSED
Choi Soo-hyun is on second base,
the most comfortable position.
I think I'm too isolated.
SLOUCHED
Jeong Keun-woo,
the devilish second baseman,
is the center fielder.
I'm too bored.
It's three to zero.
I'm curious how the acting manager
will guard the score.
That's right.
Batter one Kim Tae-eon is at bat.
It's Acting Manager
Park Yong-taek's first game.
It's three to zero.
The starting pitcher is Oh Ju-won.
YES!
He pulls.
Second baseman Choi Soo-hyun
throws it to first.
-Good.
-Very good.
Second baseman Choi Soo-hyun
gets the first out of the day.
The acting manager must be very happy.
Choi Soo-hyun was the first hitter
and he had a hit.
The first ground ball
went to Soo-hyun too.
The flow is very good from the start.
Yes.
Good defense!
Batter two Lee Dong-eun is at bat.
-Get on base.
-Hit a ground ball.
Okay.
He swings and misses the first pitch.
One strike.
Ju-won suddenly became the starter,
but so far he's pitching cleanly today.
No matter what position he's in,
-he's a reliable pitcher.
-I agree.
Okay.
Outside. It's a strike.
Okay.
-He's good.
-Very nice.
That was good.
RESPECT
Two strikes.
The count is favorable to Ju-won.
MONSTERS 3 : 0 BUSAN HIGH
STRIKEOUT
He swings at the dropping ball.
-Nice ball!
-Three ba*ls. Three strikes.
Good! That's the curve!
k*ller curve!
Okay.
UPSET…
Busan High School lost three points
in the first inning,
but they need to play offense
from the first inning.
If they don't catch up quickly, they won't
be able to pull off their strategy.
Get on base!
Let's go!
-Yes.
-Let's go.
Batter three Jang Seong-hyeon
won Bonghwangdaegi's Best RBI Award.
HE HITS!
He pulls.
Third baseman
and shortstop can't catch it.
-Yes.
-Yes.
BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL STARTS TO ATTACK!
After two outs,
it's Busan High School's first hit.
Batter three Jang Seong-hyeon did it.
From the first inning,
they have to have hits like this.
Busan High School has to run.
-They need to do that.
-Yes.
I'm feeling terrible today.
Two outs.
After two outs,
the first runner got on base.
Batter four Jeong Jae-hwan is at bat.
-Hit it! Two outs.
-Nice.
-Okay.
-The first pitch is a foul.
He swings well.
Did he hit well yesterday?
He was the pitcher yesterday.
Yesterday, I could tell
he went for big swings.
The foul ball went back.
The timing was pretty good.
Checking the first base.
The ball slips!
Jeez, what's that?
-Go!
-Run!
Third!
The ball slips!
The ball slips and the runner…
-Third!
-Third!
-He stops on second base.
-Good defense.
The runner could've gotten on third,
but Soo-hyun went after the ball.
It's because I haven't done it in a while.
Dong-wook, are you okay?
They're old, so they hurt if they fall.
It was dangerous
because of Dong-wook's injury.
Also, it was two outs
and a runner on first base. But now
-he's in scoring position.
-Right.
With a short hit, they can score.
An error made this happen,
-so it's a huge crisis.
-Yes.
GRUNTING
-Okay.
-Swing.
High fastball.
0 BALL 2 STRIKES
Two strikes.
JU-WON'S FAVORABLE COUNT
Don't go easy on him.
He needs to pitch carefully.
With a short hit,
they can lose a point.
Right.
-Strikeout!
-Strikeout!
Two strikes.
A slow breaking ball didn't go in.
Hey.
The ball was good just now.
He threw a curveball.
That was really good.
The count is still favorable
to the pitcher.
Don't go easy on him.
-Swing.
-No swing.
-Okay! Swing!
-That's it.
It was no swing.
The first base umpire called it no swing.
No swing? I could see it from here.
It was a perfect curve.
-That's…
-This…
This situation
could be upsetting to Ju-won.
-He pulled his bat back.
-Anyway,
Oh Ju-won must throw a strike
no matter what.
This is very nerve-racking.
Let's go.
It bounces. It's a full count.
Wake up, Ju-won!
Relax!
FULL COUNT
One ball became really important.
It's a full count.
-Let's go.
-Pitcher Oh Ju-won.
It goes in low. It's four ba*ls.
-Okay.
-Nice.
-Let's go.
-All right.
The batter gets on base.
Two outs. Two runners.
The first inning went really smoothly.
The Monsters scored three points,
so they can't let the other team score.
Third, fourth, fifth…
DISTRESSED
Kim Tae-u started as a pitcher.
But he showed great talent in batting
and had a BA of .300 in Bonghwangdaegi.
MONSTERS 3 : 0 BUSAN HIGH
Let's go!
-He hits the breaking ball.
-Go.
Third baseman catches it. First base.
-Okay.
-He's out on first base.
The score is three to zero.
Going to the second inning.
JU-WON STOPPED THEIR CHASE
Ju-won, you have seven innings left.
-You'll be okay, right?
-Yes.
-How many can you do?
-Seven innings left.
I'll keep going.
-He threw 80 last time.
-I'll have no strength.
They're trying to make you throw,
so they wouldn't.
He was able to throw 80.
It's the top of the second inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.
They say do not jump to conclusions.
But all I can say now is
that this is just amazing.
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek's
first inning was successful.
The Monsters started
with a score of three to zero.
We'll begin
with Choi Soo-hyun's second at-bat.
Get on base.
LET'S GET ON BASE
-Get on base.
-You can do it.
Let's go one more time.
SOO-HYUN, LET'S GO ONE MORE TIME!
Sung Yeong-tak is on the mound.
He allowed a hit
when Choi Soo-hyun was first at bat.
HE HITS!
He hits the first pitch. It goes high.
THIS IS BIG
It's a three-base hit.
NO…
Center fielder.
-He can't catch it.
-He's running to third!
-Go! Quickly!
-Third!
Choi Soo-hyun steps on second.
He heads to third base.
Third!
-Runner Choi Soo-hyun gets on third base.
-Stop.
First hitter Choi Soo-hyun
had a three-base hit.
HE RIPPED IT
-Good!
-He's a great runner.
First batter Choi Soo-hyun is different.
He's different from Jeong Keun-woo.
He's very aggressive.
He trusts his sense of batting.
BOOST OF BATTING SKILL
AND CONFIDENCE
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
took this into consideration.
He's amazing.
-He's on the rise.
-He got it.
He got it. He hit the ball like this.
ACTING MANAGER IS PLEASED
No outs and a runner on third base.
In this situation,
Jeong Keun-woo can have RBIs.
-That's right.
-Yes.
Let's go, King of RBI.
He can have one RBI with a fly ball.
-Jeong Keun-woo is the best at this.
-Right.
HE HITS!
He hits. It is a good hit.
It goes to the outfield.
Okay!
Second!
PLEASE CATCH IT
He got it.
It goes to the outfield. Left fielder
can't catch it.
I'm jealous.
ANOTHER HIT…
Jeong Keun-woo adds another RBI.
He reaches second base.
-He's running!
-Third!
Third!
No!
WE GOT YOU
He drops the ball,
and Keun-woo reaches third base!
He gets on third base again!
CRAZY JUDGMENT
-Nice.
-What a great runner.
Jeong Keun-woo watched for a chance
-and grabbed it.
-You hit it.
A fly ball would've been enough.
But he made a three-base hit.
It was a two-base hit,
and there was an error.
Even after Keun-woo touched second base,
he kept his eyes on the ball,
so he could get on third base.
Right.
It's an amazing team.
CK Monsters pulled Sung Yeong-tak down
from the pitcher's mound.
Kim Jeong-yeop,
-the second pitcher, is on the mound.
-Pitch low.
He's in his first year.
He's 184cm tall.
He graduated
from Busan Kaesung Middle School.
His fastest pitching speed is 144km/h.
His pitch has a heavy movement,
so he allows fewer long hits.
HEAVY PITCHING IS HIS STRENGTH
-They're all good.
-He's in his first year.
They're only high school students.
NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 3RD BASE
He's the second pitcher on the team.
And Ryu Hyun-in, Lee Hong-ku,
and Kim Moon-h* are next.
They're the best hitters.
-Right.
-So,
we need to see
Kim Jeong-yeop's pitches here.
Yes.
Let's go. Focus.
-Jeong-yeop.
-Let's go!
Farewell game, Hyun-in!
BALL
The first pitch is far out. It's a ball.
Timing. Lightly to the outfield.
It doesn't matter who the pitcher is.
No one can avoid Ryu Hyun-in.
He holds back on the second pitch.
Okay.
It misses the strike zone.
It's three ba*ls.
SHAKY PITCHING
IN FRONT OF A STRONG HITTER
-The fourth hitter is waiting.
-Let's go.
Get on base. I'll have an RBI.
DROOLING
I'll go for it.
Because Ryu Hyun-in is the best hitter,
the pitcher and the bench
won't put up a fight.
If the pitcher doesn't go for a fight,
it'll be difficult to hold back.
The ball bounces. He gets a walk.
Okay.
UPSET…
It's good. They skipped him.
Ryu Hyun-in chose the easiest way
to get on first base.
It was four ba*ls.
Runners are on first and third bases.
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
Hong-ku, you look brilliant.
Jeez…
SHORTNESS OF BREATH
When he stepped up, I couldn't breathe.
Outfield play looks easy.
BEST SENSE OF HITTING
Let's get an RBI.
LET'S HAVE AN RBI!
Busan High School
must be feeling a lot of pressure.
HE HITS!
It goes to the center.
-Shortstop catches it!
-He catches it!
SHORTSTOP DIVES DOWN TO CATCH IT!
First base.
He's out on first base.
But with this hit,
Jeong Keun-woo scores a point.
It's five to zero.
SO CLOSE…
So close.
-RBI.
-Good defense.
It should've been a hit.
But he dove down and caught it.
They stopped the Monster's attack
and the fourth hitter's pride.
Yes.
The hit went right in the middle
of the infield.
-That's a hit.
-Yes. Watch.
He caught this.
Busan High School showed good defense
and got an out.
Batter five Kim Moon-h* is at bat.
Moon-h*, bring him in.
Moon-h* has high hopes
in Sajik Baseball Stadium.
-Of course.
-He didn't have a good result yesterday.
Today he has a chance.
He receives four ba*ls and gets on base.
PRETENDING TO BE UPSET(?)
-Hey!
-Okay!
Don't be upset!
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
One out.
Runners on first and second bases.
DISTRUSTFUL BATTER 6 IS AT BAT
Let's go!
All right. Hit one lightly.
Batter six could be called
the leader of the bottom order.
That's right.
He's my beloved batter six Jung Eui-yoon.
-I have high hopes.
-It's five to zero.
MONSTERS 5 : 0 BUSAN HIGH
HE HITS!
Double!
-Double!
-It's a ground ball.
-Shortstop drops it!
-It hit the glove!
THE BALL BOUNCED OFF THE GLOVE!
-Quickly! Yes!
-Run!
EUI-YOON GETS ON BASE SAFELY
He should've caught it like this.
WHAT'S WRONG?
It's another upsetting defense.
Bases loaded.
It's recorded as a hit.
-What?
-It's a hit.
-Eui-yoon!
-It's a hit!
Eui-yoon, it's a hit.
A hit!
I HAD A HIT!
It's one out and bases loaded again.
Now Seo Dong-wook is at bat.
It's Dong-wook's turn. Lightly.
RBI! Have an RBI!
Bases loaded.
So Busan High School
can't throw four ba*ls.
Double!
Seo Dong-wook!
-No. Not this.
-Jeez.
TUTTING…
-Double!
-He hits the first pitch.
Second baseman catches it.
He tosses it to shortstop.
To first base. Double play.
-Nice!
-Okay.
NICE DOUBLE
SIGHING…
He suddenly throws a wet blanket.
-For sure.
-It was like ice-cold water.
-Double.
-It was an ice bucket challenge.
HE STARTED AN ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE…
CK Monsters scored two points this inning.
It's five to zero.
We're five points ahead.
Dong-wook.
DIZZY
It was one out and bases loaded.
Why did you throw a wet blanket?
-Dong-wook!
-A wet blanket.
WET BLANKET EXPERT
Oh Ju-won is still on the mound.
It's the bottom of the second inning.
Busan High School will be at bat.
Batter six Yeon Jun-won,
Batter seven Lee Chan-u,
and Batter eight Park Jae-yeop
will be at bat.
Five to zero is a comfortable lead
at the beginning of the game.
Busan High School students
have to cheer up.
They made errors
and let the Monsters score five points.
-So they're dispirited.
-Right.
Here we go!
Get on base!
HE HITS!
The first pitch hits the end of the bat.
Right fielder runs down.
He catches it!
Kim Moon-h* ran down to catch it.
He turns this hit into an out.
-Good!
-Moon-h*!
-Home ground.
-Good job.
He would've been terrible
if it was Songdo.
The ball hit the end of the bat,
so it was dead.
It's hard to know where it falls.
Moon-h* did a great job.
Yes.
-He spotted where it fell exactly.
-Okay.
It's one out.
-Good number of pitches.
-Good.
Batter seven Lee Chan-u is at bat.
-You have to get on base.
-Get on base!
Let's go.
Go!
Go!
The hit goes to the center.
-Yes!
-Nice play.
THIS WORKED
Back.
Keun-woo, you can do it!
MAKING A DASH
Center fielder Jeong Keun-woo.
He catches it!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Jeong Keun-woo!
Center fielder Jeong Keun-woo
made this an out.
Keun-woo can do it!
IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN'T DO?
He went after it.
HE'S UNBELIEVABLE
Acting Manager
Park Yong-taek is clapping fiercely.
He took his cap off.
SHOWING RESPECT
BY HOLDING HIS CAP UP
Keun-woo is roaring.
He experiences
a different thrill in the outfield.
Yes. Actually, Keun-woo complained
before the game started.
-Of course, he would.
-Right.
But…
This catch. This is the catch.
KEUN-WOO SHOWED PERFECT DEFENSE
Taek-keun has no place now.
Alert.
Taek-keun has no place.
He's good at every position
except catcher.
He'd make a good catcher.
DAE-EUN: HE'D MAKE A GOOD CATCHER…
-Wasn't it a good chase?
-Totally.
-So fast.
-Yes.
Go.
Batter eight Park Jae-yeop.
Second baseman catches the hit.
Choi Soo-hyun takes care of it.
It's a 1-2-3 inning.
-Done.
-The inning ended clean.
It's five to zero.
Now it's the third inning.
THEY GUARDED THE 5-POINT DIFFERENCE
He's really good at baseball.
He's so good at every position.
Keun-woo did a flawless job.
Yes.
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
is greeting Keun-woo.
It's like the major league.
Yong-taek is bowing at Keun-woo.
Keun-woo!
Nice catch.
HE LOVES MAJOR LEAGUE STYLE
The ball seemed huge.
Unlike when I played in KBO.
You can do it. You can do anything.
-Yes, you have a broad outlook.
-Of course.
I can tell.
Don't limit yourself.
I should go and practice catching.
SMILE OF A GREAT COMMANDER
He's becoming a great commander.
Jeez.
SPEECHLESS
-What's happening?
-I still have a good feeling.
I don't think Keun-woo is upset anymore.
Don't miss the first pitch,
the fast straight ball.
Why aren't you hitting them?
-Why aren't you hitting them?
-I'm sorry, sir!
They're all fastballs.
-Am I right?
-Yes, sir!
-Let's go.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-All right!
-Ready?
-Go!
It's the bottom of the third inning.
Busan High School will be at bat.
Oh Ju-won threw 33 ba*ls
until the second inning.
He's still on the mound.
He allowed only one hit today.
Batter nine Park Chan-yeop
is the first hitter.
STRIKE
The first pitch is a strike.
I TOLD YOU TO HIT THE FIRST PITCH…
MONSTERS 5 : 0 BUSAN HIGH
HE HITS IT THIS TIME!
The pitch drops low. A ground ball.
Shortstop dashes and fields it.
Ryu Hyun-in throws to first! Out on first!
-Darn!
-There's our Hyun-in!
-Nice.
-There you go!
Good job.
-That one was hard to pull off.
-Right.
Man, he's unbelievable.
WOW…
-That was…
-How did he do that?
-It looked easy.
-He made it look easy.
GOSH, THAT WAS GOOD…
In the beginning, we couldn't recognize
that he had strong throws.
But look at him now.
RYU HYUN-IN'S BEAUTIFUL DEFENSE
Look at that throw.
This is just a casual play
for Ryu Hyun-in.
-Hyun-in, plays like that are a given now.
-Yes, sir.
-Got that?
-Yes, sir.
Next up is Kim Tae-eon,
the leadoff hitter.
THE TABLE SETTERS ARE BACK
Go for the fastballs.
All right! Go!
All right! Go!
All right! Go!
-Kim Tae-eon hits…
-My gosh!
It bounces off the shortstop's gloves!
The hitter attempts to advance to second.
Go!
To second base!
-Safe!
-Hitter is safe on second base.
NICE PLAY
Nice!
-Yes, that's an out!
-Out!
It's not out?
FIRST INSTANT REPLAY
OF MANAGER TAEK?
-It's safe.
-No?
He's safe?
DARN…
That catch was so close.
-So close indeed.
-Indeed.
HE FEELS AWKWARD
Ryu Hyun-in chased the ball until the end
and attempted to catch the ball.
But it was a difficult one to catch.
His next play was amazing.
But Kim Tae-eon predicted that play
thinking ahead
and sprinted as fast as he could
to be in scoring position.
I see.
A runner on second with an out.
The runner is in scoring position.
Next up is Lee Dong-eun,
the second hitter.
You can do this!
A five-run difference is nothing.
This is it!
GO FOR THE FIRST PITCH
Show what you've got, Ju-won.
-All right!
-Yes!
HE HITS!
He makes contact to the left field.
Left fielder catches it!
JUMPS TO CATCH THE BALL
-He got it.
-A jumping catch!
Then he throws to second.
The runner comes back safely.
Yes! That's right!
We can do this!
A runner on second with two outs.
SENDING SIGNALS!
-It's the same.
-Yes, sir.
GO FOR THE FIRST PITCH
Next up is Jang Seong-hyeon.
I'LL HIT THE FIRST PITCH
NO MATTER WHAT!
HE HITS!
-All right!
-He makes contact!
It goes over second baseman!
Second baserunner goes through third.
And he comes home.
Busan High finally manages to score a run.
Yes!
Finally, a playmaker
to score a run comes out.
-Yes!
-Good job!
All right!
HE'S SATISFIED
He should've taken it slow
with first base empty.
WHAT A BUMMER…
I throw more fastballs than anyone else.
And I despise throwing breaking ba*ls
on my first pitch.
I'm a pitcher
that throws multiple fastballs
like it's not a big deal.
Is he going to throw
another fastball on his first pitch?
Next up is Jeong Jae-hwan.
WILL THE FIRST PITCH
BE ANOTHER FASTBALL?
HE HITS A FASTBALL!
The runner runs to second,
and it's a hit into the center.
WE KNOW IT'S ALWAYS A WIN
TO HIT THE FIRST PITCH
Yes!
You're better now! Nice!
TIME TO PARTY
Nice!
HIS PLAN TO GO FOR THE FIRST PITCH
WAS A SUCCESS
Oh Ju-won allowed consecutive hits
for the first time.
Timeout.
-Timeout.
-Timeout.
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
visits the mound for the first time.
I'll stop throwing fastballs
on my first pitch.
HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY…
-Now…
-You're basically letting them hit.
Don't let your guard down.
-It's not great right now.
-Indeed.
-You have to defend the next one.
-Okay.
Don't let them have it.
-Defend this time, okay?
-All right.
LET'S GO FOR A BREAKING BALL
One last out left in this inning.
RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND WITH 2 OUTS
WILL HE CHANGE HIS FIRST PITCH?
The first pitch drops low out of the zone.
NICE BALL
-Nice ball!
-That was crazy.
(HE NODS IN SATISFACTION)
A foul tip.
The count is one and one.
-This is crucial now.
-Indeed.
A strike. It was a brushback.
That was perfect.
He's pitching with everything he has.
That pitch was on the edge of the zone
so close to his body.
The hitter can't hit that ball
even if it comes again.
-I know.
-It was just that perfect.
Right.
ANOTHER FASTBALL?
He shakes his head.
ANOTHER BREAKING BALL?
Here!
It breaks low!
Swings and misses, strikeout!
JU-WON BEATS HIM
WITH A BREAKING BALL
-There you go.
-That's it!
That's what we want.
That's the curve we want.
First and second are left on bases.
Ju-won defends the inning,
only allowing one run.
HE TREADS IN
-Ju-won.
-Great job.
Nice!
You're all warmed up, right?
-You're finally better now.
-Well done.
I used to love facing the hitter head-on.
But I'm changing little by little.
My team's victory is more important
than my personal victory.
This is the top of the fourth.
CK Monsters is on the offense first.
On the mound is still Kim Jeong-yeop.
Now that Busan High scored a run,
he should be playing aggressively.
But the issue is the next two hitters.
Lee Hong-ku and Kim Moon-h*
had the highest BA
before this game, respectively.
Hong-ku, face him head-on!
HE HITS!
He makes contact.
Center-left. Left and center fielders run.
Left fielder catches the ball. One out.
The hit was sharp at the end of the bat.
It's one out.
Next up is batter five, Kim Moon-h*.
THE MAN YONG-TAEK TRUSTS, MOON-h*
I'm sure Kim Moon-h* wants to make
a memorable hit
that will last in his memory
in this Sajik Baseball Stadium.
Come on.
In the front!
Makes contact. A ground ball.
-It's slow.
-First base is empty!
Darn it.
Oh! Let's go!
Makes contact. A ground ball.
-It's slow.
-First base is empty!
Second covers for first,
but Moon-h* arrives before him!
-Safe!
-Safe!
Darn, that was close.
Gosh, you're quick!
No one will remember that kind of hit.
No wonder he's not that memorable.
Look at him smirk.
No?
-Put down your arm.
-All right.
Gosh, didn't I do okay?
Why does my team hate me?
You don't leave a strong impression.
What do you mean? I just left one.
One out.
The Monsters get on base after an out.
Next up is batter six, Jung Eui-yoon.
Relax and hit lightly!
Right in front!
A ground ball.
OH NO…
Is it a double?
A ground ball.
Shortstop with a catch. To second base.
And then to first.
Darn it.
One hit, but two outs.
The Monsters lose the inning
with just three hitters.
THE INNING FINISHES WITHOUT ANY RUNS
BOTTOM OF THE 4TH INNING
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
The bottom of the fourth.
Oh Ju-won still takes the mound.
Acting Manager Park decides to play
Oh Ju-won in the fourth as well.
Ju-won was informed that
he was the starter pitcher just today.
-Right.
-He didn't have the time to prepare.
But he's holding up very well.
WILL HE BE ABLE TO KEEP DEFENDING?
The first hitter is batter six,
Yeon Jun-won.
HE HITS!
GOES TO THE CENTER
-Behind!
-Into the center. Keun-woo!
Keun-woo, it's yours!
-Behind!
-Into the center.
Keun-woo! He runs again!
He catches the ball for an out!
Jeong Keun-woo as a center fielder
actually covers quite
a wide area of defense.
When he was catching the ball,
it didn't come into this mitt
as easily as he thought.
But how he chased the ball down
was excellent.
Great job, Keun-woo!
WE LOVE YOU, JEONG KEUN-WOO
That brat. He's not looking at me.
HE FEELS AWKWARD
WHACK?
Hits the first pitch. The ball pops up.
All right, thank you.
-Moon-h*!
-You got this too, Moon-h*.
-Okay.
-Right fielder moves for the catch.
He catches it. Two outs.
See that.
NICE!
His catch is lame too.
HE CRACKS UP
Moon-h* does feel a bit lacking,
don't you think?
-That was Moon-h*?
-Two outs!
Oh Ju-won pitched two outs already.
Today, Oh Ju-won didn't allow
a single hitter to advance
from hitters five to nine.
-Now that you mention it, it's amazing.
-I know.
Goes to the left. It becomes a hit
to left fielder.
Park Jae-yeop gets on base after two outs.
PARK JAE-YEOP ADVANCES A BASE
-Nice, Park Jae-yeop!
-A hit!
How do you do it?
After you mentioned a record,
it always hits a wall.
It's amusing.
THE MIDAS MOUTH?
A runner on first with two outs.
HE HITS!
A ground ball.
Third base fields it. Park Seung-hwan.
Out on first base.
A hit after two outs.
But Ju-won manages to hold up once again.
The score is still five to one.
MONSTERS
BUSAN HIGH
BOTTOM OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
The bottom of the fifth.
Oh Ju-won continues to take the mound.
Acting Manager Park definitely has
his trust in Oh Ju-won.
You can see that
he played Ju-won for the fifth as well.
WOULD HIS CHOICE BE A WISE ONE?
First hitter, Kim Tae-eon.
He hit a double against Oh Ju-won
in his previous appearance.
The first pitch.
He swings but misses the breaking ball.
That's right!
Time to pitch a ball.
The first pitch wasn't a fastball.
He threw a breaking ball
on his first pitch,
which resulted in a miss.
The count is strike one.
He pushes out the second pitch.
It's a foul to the left.
FOUL
Everything he pitches is a strike.
He's Strike Oh.
Strike Oh!
Great as usual, Strike Oh!
Swings and misses. Strikeout!
HE EASILY PITCHES A STRIKEOUT
Oh Ju-won finishes off the leadoff hitter
with a strikeout.
Okay!
Gosh, that was good!
That slider!
The left-handed hitters of Busan
held back their swings
against that slider today.
But Oh Ju-won finally forces them
to swing in the fifth inning.
Indeed.
Let's advance! We can do it.
Lee Dong-eun, the second hitter.
FOUL
The first pitch comes inside and high.
Because Oh Ju-won pitches great sliders,
the left-handed hitters
don't think about inside pitches.
So if the pitch is a brushback
or something like that,
they have trouble swinging.
Oh Ju-one strike!
HE LAUGHS
Oh Ju-one strike!
Shim Soo-ball?
What about Shim Soo-ball?
He misses the second pitch.
Two fastballs in a row.
The count is two strikes.
He'll win as a pitcher
if he finishes pitching the fifth.
He just needs two more outs
for the fifth to end.
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
A brushback.
It's an inside pitch in the zone!
I KNEW I COULD TRUST YOU!
This is great.
His pitches just got better.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Four strikeouts this game.
Oh Ju-won struck out two hitters
just during the fifth.
Although he was suddenly chosen
as the starting pitcher,
he's bringing out exceptional results.
-It can't get better than this.
-Right.
-He pitched five innings.
-Tell me about it.
Do you really think Acting Manager Park
thought this out beforehand?
He knew that Oh Ju-won would pitch well
if he chose him as the starting pitcher
out of the blue,
because he won't be nervous.
We need to see if he read his mind.
That makes him the god of baseball.
GOD OF BASEBALL, ACTING MANAGER PARK
-Hey, Moon-h*!
-All right, Moon-h* got this.
A FLY BALL TOWARDS THE RIGHT
It travels far.
But the right fielder catches this ball.
Three outs.
Oh Ju-won shuts out the inning
and meets the conditions
of becoming the winning pitcher.
-Great job.
-Thank you, sir.
-Good job.
-Nice pitch.
Should I pitch more?
-No need. Good job.
-All right.
I was willing to pitch more.
I want to keep you healthy.
All right. I'm feeling fine.
It's now the sixth.
A new pitcher, Kim Dong-hu,
takes the mound now.
He's in his first year.
When he was in middle school,
he was well-known nationally
as a strong sidearm pitcher.
-Show them what you got.
-Yes, sir.
-What grade is he in?
-First year of high school.
He's very tall with a height of 191cm.
Also, he's a sidearm pitcher.
-I'm excited to see him.
-Right.
-He's imitating Jung Woo-young.
-Isn't he number 18?
WILL HE PROVE HIMSELF
AS THE WELL-KNOWN SIDEARM PITCHER?
Man, he's good.
Nice ball. All right.
MONSTERS IS BEGINNING THE INNING
WITH THEIR LEADOFF HITTER
The lineup is good.
Go for a big inning!
-Another big inning.
-We need more runs.
The show begins with Choi Soo-hyun,
the leadoff.
He advanced in all his appearances today.
Stop the leadoff!
HE HITS!
The first pitch pops up high.
First base moves into foul territory.
Will he catch it? Yes, he does.
1 OUT
DONG-HU, NICE JOB
-Nice!
-Nice!
Darn it.
Choi Soo-hyun made contact very quickly,
but he's out with a foul.
If you hit a first pitch like that,
it gets stuck in your head for a few days.
You know it, right?
You can't sleep.
Just one more, please.
Good job.
Next up is batter two, Jeong Keun-woo.
Go for a double, Keun-woo.
I want to get him out at least once.
He had three hits today?
Keun-woo really had
many highlight-worthy plays today.
Strike!
HE IS GOOD…
What a pitch.
What was that?
-Good pitching!
-Nice.
Just chuck it in.
Darn it.
It skips off the bat. The ball is slow.
Shortstop fields it and to first!
Out on first base.
THAT WAS FLAWLESS
We can win!
Nice pitching.
Timeout.
Choi Soo-hyun and Jeong Keun-woo
were forced to step back.
Who is this pitcher?
(HE'S IMPRESSED)
That curve is a tricky one.
The angle of the curve is quite sharp.
That pitcher is good.
He was well-known nationally
in middle school.
-He's good.
-This guy?
From Centum Middle School.
With the release point he has
with his height and sidearm,
he creates strong momentum.
Next up is Ryu Hyun-in,
the home run hitter from yesterday.
It was his first home run
on A Clean Sweep.
Guys, you have to focus.
I wonder how he'll do
on his fourth appearance today.
-A breaking ball drops low.
-Nice!
Great job!
Ever since he took the mound,
he's been bold
about pitching into the zone.
I can't believe he's in his first year.
Hyun-in!
TEACH HIM A LESSON, HYUN-IN
Teach him a lesson!
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
Hyun-in, this one is yours.
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
STRIKE
That was great! Keep it up!
I'm sorry, Hyun-in.
Kim Dong-hu
took all our attention right now.
That was a changeup.
-A fastball?
-Yes, sir.
What? It felt like a changeup.
His pitching is just great.
A FASTBALL THAT DROPS
LIKE A CHANGEUP
Focus. Aim for the dropping ones.
The count doesn't favor Hyun-in.
He's cornered right now.
Think of curves!
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
A CURVEBALL, STRIKEOUT
Swings and misses. Strikeout!
That was sick.
THIS IS WHAT I WANTED!
A fly ball into a ground ball,
and finally a strikeout.
Kim Dong-hu shuts out the inning
perfectly on the mound.
What was that pitch?
It's a curve.
THEY ARE DUMBFOUNDED
BY KIM DONG-HU'S PITCHING
They had a pitcher like him?
(HE'S OBSESSED WITH HIM)
-Number three is cursed.
-I know. It's definitely cursed.
-Number three is a real pain.
-Gosh.
-The pitcher changed.
-I was wrong to place number three.
SEONG-HOON CALLS THE COACH
(ACTING MANAGER?)
Sir.
(OVER THERE)
Tell him who the pitcher is.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's fine.
-Pitcher Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Got it.
You visit the mound too.
CHUCKLING…
Our acting manager is out of it.
Usually, managers don't walk
on the baseline.
Gosh, he really feels
like this cheap, crudely made product.
BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
If it goes according to plan,
-you'll pitch three innings.
-Yes, sir.
-Pitch however much you want to pitch.
-Yes, sir.
Acting Manager Park chose
Yoo Hee-kwan to take the mound.
I'm sure this all feels new to him.
This is Acting Manager Park's first time
switching out pitchers.
-Manager, please focus.
-I apologize.
GOSH, MY BACK…
-There's a lot to do as a manager.
-Indeed.
HE'S TRYING TO ADAPT
First to enter is the fourth hitter,
Jeong Jae-hwan.
JEONG JAE-HWAN ADVANCED TWICE TODAY
You can do it, Jae-hwan!
Hit that ball!
Let's go, ace player!
Hee-kwan!
WHAT WILL HIS FIRST PITCH BE?
Come on, Yoo Hee-kwan.
A slow curveball. It's a strike.
It's cool to watch it with my own eyes.
HEE-KWAN'S SLOW CURVE
IS MORE IMPRESSIVE IN PERSON
It's fine! That was only 91km/h!
Does it look easy to hit, you punks?
That's what the others thought too.
Swings and misses
That was so slow.
Even before the ball was caught,
he finished the swing.
Indeed.
Busan hitters are now facing
a whole new style
of sequence and pitching.
The same left-handed pitcher,
but with a very different style.
That's why Acting Manager Park
trusted Yoo Hee-kwan.
-He's meaning to close this game out.
-Right.
They didn't play
against Hee-kwan yesterday.
Right.
Then it can be hard to face him at first.
ANYWAY, HEE-KWAN IS PITCHING WELL
-Nice.
-The ball travels slowly.
The catcher fields it and throws to first.
Out on first.
-Yes!
-Great job.
Out with just three pitches.
NOTHING IS GREAT ABOUT THIS
EASILY PITCHES AN OUT
WITH ONLY 3 ba*ls
Next up is Yang Hyeok-jun,
the fifth hitter.
THE 5TH HITTER, YANG HYEOK-JUN.
Pitch all strikes!
STRIKE
When you swing, you miss.
When you don't, it's a strike.
Go for an all-strike, Hee-kwan.
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
HE HITS!
He makes contact to the left.
He makes contact to the left.
It curves inward and lands in the line.
-To second!
-It rolls to the wall.
The hitter arrives on second safely.
Good job!
GREAT!
A three-run difference worries me.
Things will be difficult
if you allow a run.
A CRISIS EMERGES ALL OF A SUDDEN
The Monsters are in a pickle now.
A runner on second with an out.
A RUNNER ON 2ND WITH 1 OUT
Next up is batter six, Yeon Jun-won.
Look up.
Don't hit the lows.
It's bait for ground ba*ls.
All pitchers feel anxious
when there's a runner in scoring position.
How will Hee-kwan deal with this?
The first pitch. The timing is off.
Hee-kwan wins all the first pitches.
I tried everything against Hee-kwan
back in the day.
I tried delaying my swing,
leveling my swing,
and shifting myself to the center, front,
and back, but I missed them all.
For Hee-kwan, velocity is meaningless.
His pitches are beyond that.
SLOW BUT PRECISE, STRIKE
-Nice pitch.
-An inside pitch. A strike.
How do you evaluate Yoo Hee-kwan today?
I feel that he's relaxed.
He's working well with the catcher.
He aims accurately into the zone
the catcher requests.
Catcher asks for an outside pitch.
A low pitch. But the ball bounces off!
-What?
-Hey, man.
The runner advances to third.
-Nice!
-Nice job!
CHAN-HUI MAKES AN ERROR
AT A CRUCIAL MOMENT
THE BATTERY IS SHAKEN UP,
AND IT LEADS TO A CRISIS
A runner on third with an out.
Defend home base.
Hyun-in, Seung-hwan! Defend home!
The Monsters shift their defense.
With a contact,
Busan High might score a run.
Acting Manager Park decides
to shift the defense forward.
We can't allow any runs here.
Don't hit the low ones. Look up.
-Bat for the team.
-Don't hit too far.
You can make contact.
I hope Hee-kwan throws
an inside pitch this time.
An outside pitch is quite risky.
They're going for it.
AS EXPECTED, AN INSIDE PITCH
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
STRIKEOUT
Strike!
An inside pitch! It's in the zone.
He struck him out looking.
A CRAZY BRUSHBACK!
That looks like a ball, doesn't it?
But it's a strike!
Right. Check on TV.
-It really seems like a ball.
-We had our share of experiences.
HE'S AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
Yoo Hee-kwan manages to pitch
a strikeout amidst this crisis
and overcomes himself.
-They couldn't do anything.
-You can relax
and watch him pitch
because of this, right?
Yoo Hee-kwan can overcome anything.
HE'S NEVER SHAKEN UP
A RUNNER ON 3RD WITH 2 OUTS
Next up is Lee Chan-u, the seventh hitter.
Chan-u, you can do this!
Chan-u!
-Come on!
-Let's go!
-Watch out for your private part.
-It's going to be forward.
The pitcher… It bounces off the mound.
Oh, my. What just happened?
-All right.
-Run!
The pitcher… It bounces off the mound.
-Ryu Hyun-in!
-Shortstop fields it and to first!
HOWEVER, SAFE
-Yes!
-Yes!
What? No!
-Acting Manager Park asks for a replay.
-That was quick.
-He immediately asks for one.
-Okay.
The ball goes between his legs,
and it bounces off the plate.
And Hyun-in throws on the run.
This is it.
HE CATCHES THE BALL FIRST
Out!
NICE!
Acting Manager Park
immediately asks for a replay
and the call is overturned.
The ball bounced off the mound.
But Ryu Hyun-in smoothly came in
and took care of it.
Great job, Hyun-in.
-Nice play, Hyun-in.
-Good.
-Good job.
-Come on in.
-Nice.
-You can really throw anywhere.
You were even about to trip this time.
I was so surprised.
-You really saved a run there.
-The defense fairy.
DON'T GO, HYUN-IN…
Don't make such amazing plays.
It makes it harder to send you away.
We need more runs, everyone.
We did nothing for four innings.
Dong-hu is preventing the Monsters
from scoring any runs.
He's a first-year student
with a height of 191cm.
He's the most eye-catching pitcher
I've seen recently.
He really is eye-catching.
His sidearm is amazing.
This is now the seventh.
The first hitter is
Lee Hong-ku, batter four.
Let's finish this inning
with six runs on our side.
Strike!
He's really good.
The breaking ba*ls just now
were on a professional level.
Dong-hu is good today. He can control.
He has enough power.
His pitching mechanics are perfect too.
Right.
SWINGS AND MISSES, STRIKE
HARD TO BEAT DONG-HU
Two strikes.
ALTHOUGH HE'S HARD TO BEAT,
IT'S NOT HARD FOR THE 4TH HITTER
-He pops it up to the right!
-This is good.
The right fielder chases.
The center fielder catches it.
1 OUT
Your OBP is at .464.
NEXT UP IS
THE TRUSTWORTHY KIM MOON-h*
HOWEVER, MOON-h*…
It flies into the left
behind the left fielder.
Left fielder catches it easily. Two outs.
Moon-h* is always a bit lacking.
I think I know what you're talking about,
now that I'm a manager.
Next up is Jung Eui-yoon.
The first game left a strong impression.
AGAIN, IT FLIES UP
It pops up high.
Center fielder calculates the landing.
He catches it for the last out.
This isn't a fungo.
The game feels mundane
without any runs being scored.
It's now the eighth inning.
The Monsters haven't outplayed
Kim Dong-hu yet.
First up is Seo Dong-wook,
the seventh hitter.
If Dong-wook advances this time,
Chan-hui will bunt.
Kim Dong-hu.
A USELESS PLAN
It skips off the bat. The pitcher…
Third base fields it and to first.
He's out on first base.
He forces a ground ball
against Dong-wook for the out.
He forces seven outs in a row.
How can a first-year student
pitch like this?
Let's see how Lee Taek-keun will do.
He pushes it out. Second base fields it
and throws to first.
Out on first base.
That's now 12 outs in a row
for the Monsters.
What a pitch.
Park Seung-hwan has appeared ten times
without any hits.
This might be the last chance for him.
He needs a big hit.
Into the center! Shortstop fields it.
First baseman!
He fails the catch.
NICE
This happens again.
Defense makes an error at the last minute.
Right. A runner on first with two outs.
Next up is Choi Soo-hyun.
-It's two outs.
-Soo-hyun, finish them up.
ACTING MANAGER PARK'S LEADOFF HITTER
THE MONSTROUS PITCHER, KIM DONG-HU
First pitch, the runner starts running!
SEUNG-HWAN ATTEMPTS TO STEAL A BASE
To second base!
He's out on second base!
The game continues onto the bottom
of the eighth with no score difference.
-Good pitching.
-Yes, sir.
-Can you pitch like this again?
-Yes, sir.
Okay.
Good work. Great job.
-Let's go!
-Go!
LET'S SCORE SOME POINTS
So I'm out?
-Okay, good work.
-Okay.
-I'm out.
-Anything's fine.
-I'm out.
-Okay.
-Tell the umpire.
-Yes, I have to.
Tell him instead of shaking my hand.
-Lee Taek-keun, the center fielder.
-Okay.
-And Jeong Keun-woo is out.
-Okay.
Yes.
Then which spot does the pitcher go to?
Lee Taek-keun's spot is…
No, what is it?
Jeong Keun-woo, out.
Lee Taek-keun, the center.
-Yes, all right.
-Okay.
It's the bottom of the eighth.
Yoo Hee-kwan returns to the mound.
The first batter is Jang Seong-hyeon.
He ends up swinging a pitch of 67km/h.
LIKE HE'S BEWITCHED
That was 67km/h.
Seong-hyeon, you got this!
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
-He makes a swift hit.
-One!
The ball is in the infield.
He turns and catches.
WHAT A SURPRISE…
1 OUT
Jeong Jae-hwan is the next batter.
He had four ba*ls and a single,
but only a grounder before the catcher
with Yoo Hee-kwan.
Pull the hit.
WILL HEE-KWAN BLOCK JAE-HWAN
ONCE AGAIN?
HE PULLS THE HIT!
He pushes the ball far,
a hit down the left center.
NICE
He stops running on first base.
One out, a runner on first.
1 OUT, A RUNNER ON THE 1ST BASE
Just two. Two in the infield.
Look up. Don't hit a low pitch.
Let's go, Hyeok-jun!
HE HITS!
It's a grounder. The shortstop catches.
To the second base, and the first.
First-base runner, safe.
One out left.
Yeon Jun-won follows Yang Hyeok-jun.
HE HITS!
Man, that was a good hit.
He pulls the hit. Ryu Hyun-in.
-He stops the ball, to the second.
-Nice!
He's really good.
-Man.
-Jeez, that was a work of art.
His throw was amazing.
Hyun-in, great job.
His performance was as smooth as butter.
The inning ends.
Yoo Hee-kwan hasn't lost a point
until the eighth inning.
What would've happened to us without him?
Exactly.
It's now the top of the ninth.
CK Monsters will bat.
Kim Gwang-min is on the mound.
Kim Gwang-min is
in his third year in high school,
and he has great breaking ball control.
So this year, his average earned run
in the high school league is two.
Batter one, Choi Soo-hyun.
The next one is
the acting manager.
Park Yong-taek, ready to hit.
-Hyun-in, do you have a hit?
-No.
Darn you.
-Make sure you hit one last one.
-Yes.
Okay? Try to hit the ball
in any way you can.
Yes.
Let's score one.
Let's score just one more.
-Swings and misses.
-Nice pitch.
Hey, that was a good one.
-Great job!
-What was that?
Take your time.
HIT-BY-PITCH
It's a hit-by-pitch.
Then zero outs, a runner on the first.
Umpire, we'll use a pinch hitter.
The acting manager,
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
His batting average is .215?
HIS PERFORMANCE ISN'T GREAT
His on-base percentage is less than .300.
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
played well at Sajik Baseball Stadium.
I hope to see one nice hit.
I agree.
WILL HE PLAY
LIKE HE DID AT SAJIK STADIUM?
-We have high hopes when he's at Sajik.
-Yes.
The runner gets a head start.
Throwing to the second.
HE TRIES TO STEAL THE BASE
The runner gets a head start.
Throwing to the second.
Sliding in head first.
-Nice!
-He gets on the base first.
Bring him back in!
Nice, Soo-hyun!
NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 2ND
Let's go, Sajik Taek.
Strong in Sajik, Park Yong-taek.
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
On the edge. It's a strike.
Why did you look?
His first match as an acting manager,
and the first at-bat as a pinch hitter.
2 HIT-BY-PITCHES
A hit-by-pitch.
2 HIT-BY-PITCHES
-Goodness.
-Nice job, pitcher.
-Your on-base percentage went up!
-Nice job, pitcher.
On-base percentage, up.
This was what I wanted.
THIS WAS WHAT I WANTED
It's now zero outs,
runners on first and second.
They end up switching the pitcher.
Busan High School's
Kim Gwang-min ends here.
Good job.
Cheon Gyeom is now on the mound.
And now, on the last day,
Ryu Hyun-in is next at bat.
It's your last time!
-Let's go!
-Hyun-in!
It's sad to see him go.
Because every single play he made here
got imprinted into my mind.
I went up but never hit a single.
ZERO HITS TODAY
This is his last time at bat.
I'm sure he'll want to hit one.
He'll want to.
On the mound, Cheon Gyeom.
First pitch, high on the edge.
CHOOSING CAREFULLY
Hyun-in, show us!
Your finale!
A lower pitch. Two ba*ls.
Not four ba*ls!
Hit it. Just hit it, Hyun-in!
Hit the ball pitch.
I couldn't walk out.
I wanted to hit it no matter what.
MONSTERS 5 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
He hits.
That's it.
He hits. It goes down the center.
WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!
All bases are loaded.
This is Ryu Hyun-in's way
of saying goodbye
to the Monsters.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
-Okay!
-Let's hit it, please.
GOOD WORK
Okay!
Ryu Hyun-in's big smile.
That's how he'll be remembered.
All bases are loaded.
Choi Soo-hyun, Park Yong-taek,
and Ryu Hyun-in, respectively.
And now, Lee Hong-ku.
Hit one!
Stop them. You can do this.
HE HITS!
Lee's hit reaches the outfield.
-The center fielder.
-Together.
Everyone, move together!
It's caught. The runners tag up.
Run quickly!
-Second!
-Second!
The runners tag up.
Runner on third returns home.
-Safe.
-Park Yong-taek on the third, he's safe.
CK Monsters finally make another point.
The score is six to one.
You should throw it there.
THROW IT TO THE 2ND BASE!
WHY IS HE DISPLEASED
WHEN THEY SCORED?
How about a replay? Wasn't it out?
The runners move up a base.
On third and second.
They're both in scoring positions.
Kim Moon-h* is next.
The man who massaged
Acting Manager Park's shoulders
and glamorously showed up
as the fifth batter, Kim Moon-h*.
I hope this doesn't end after this game.
Let's see what will happen.
Make just one memorable hit.
Darn it.
A grounder. The pitcher catches.
He holds the runner down
by throwing it to the first base
Two outs.
Of all places, there?
This is so annoying.
You hit grounders the most often.
Why am I reminded
of the Ten Attendants in China?
A SPOT AS A TOP BATTER
EARNED THROUGH FLATTERY
Two outs, runners on second and third.
Batter six, Jung Eui-yoon.
Eui-yoon, time to hit a big one.
You'll be the MVP if you hit a home run!
A CHANCE TO RETURN TO THE 4TH
ONE HIT WILL EARN HIM 2 POINTS
Only one out left.
WILL HE BRING THE RUNNERS IN?
Lift it up.
IT FLIES UP
He hits. The ball flies up high.
It's too high.
Up in the infield.
Third baseman, shortstop.
Third baseman moves, waits, and catches.
Six to one. Five points of a gap,
to the bottom of the ninth.
The Ten-Attendants remark was mean.
Thankfully, I'm older than him.
You need to get caught teasing Seung-jun.
No, never.
I would never tease him.
BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING
MONSTERS 6 : 1 BUSAN HIGH
Let's do this.
I need to get my revenge.
This is annoying.
It's now the ninth, Song Seung-jun is up.
The first batter, Lee Chan-u, is up.
Let's do this!
Song Seung-jun got on the mound yesterday
and sadly lost one point.
And he's before his juniors today,
so he must show perfect pitches today.
You're right.
I'LL GET MY REVENGE
Let's go, Power Song.
Get your revenge!
Sing a song, altogether.
Let's go!
Chan-u!
Jun!
SEUNG-JUN'S PITCH
FIRST PITCH, STRIKE
-A strike near the edge.
-Nice pitch.
SURPRISED!
(A FORKBALL?)
Was the curve too high?
No, it came in the dead center.
That was an excellent pitch.
He said he'll k*ll them.
He got fastballs yesterday,
so breaking ba*ls.
Here we go!
A pitch near the body.
The bat touches. A foul.
SEUNG-JUN QUICKLY GETS 2 STRIKES
Take them down, pitcher.
You have to make it out alive!
You can do it!
Fireballer!
A push hit.
HE HITS!
A push hit.
Hey.
Hey! Run!
OVER THE PITCHER
A push hit. The shortstop is near.
To the first base.
-Out on the first.
-Okay.
Such a smooth play.
CK Monsters feel at ease
when the ball flies
next to the second base.
I want to talk to the pitchers
to stop sending it to the shortstop.
-The more they do this, the sadder we get.
-Exactly.
We continuously keep our eyes
on Ryu Hyun-in to the end.
I wonder who could fill up his spot.
And now, Park Jae-yeop is at bat.
HE HITS THE FIRST PITCH!
-Okay.
-A grounder.
The third base. He cuddles the ball,
then out on the first.
-Good job!
-He's an ace fielder.
You should run over here.
-Solid fielding, Park Seung-hwan.
-Okay!
-Two outs.
-Two outs.
Nine wins, one loss.
After 20 games were over,
we could now win 9 and lose 1.
And among nine wins,
we'll take two of them
in a match against Busan High School.
As soon as Acting Manager Park came,
the first thing he said was
that they would go to Okinawa.
-He wants to win every game.
-Yes.
Goodness, it's hard to pick the MVP.
Only one out left to go.
Come out if you hit one yesterday.
Hey, stay focused.
Okay.
HERE'S A BATTER WHO HIT ONE
SEUNG-JUN GOT UP
AT THE TOP OF THE 9TH
HE MADE A HIT
AS SOON AS HE WALKED ON THE MOUND!
THE ONE WHO MADE
SEUNG-JUN FLUSTERED
THE FIRST-YEAR BATTER,
BAE GYEONG-GEUN
He's a first-year.
-He hit one.
-He hit one yesterday.
He hit one yesterday.
You have to get him.
I'LL MAKE SURE I CATCH HIM (?)
It's him?
No idea. We're just throwing things out.
He's in his first year.
Three fastballs.
You can do it, right?
You have to get him.
He hit one yesterday!
I WON'T ACCEPT TWO HUMILIATIONS
Focus!
HE HITS!
A push hit. Rolls by the first base.
SCREAMING!
THAT WAS INSANE!
First-year!
I knew it.
But Busan High School
doesn't want to end this game yet.
SEUNG-JUN'S k*ller (?)
Man.
He's weak against first-year students.
He's weak against 15 and 16-year-olds.
I'm stressed out again.
HE'S 42 YEARS OLD
Kim Sun-woo's question mark
turned into a semi-exclamation mark
by Acting Manager Park.
Only one out left until the first win.
Take him down, pitcher.
HE HITS!
A pull hit to the first base.
He catches, then steps on the base.
Three outs. The game ends.
Congrats, first win.
GREAT JOB!
The new manager,
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
takes his first victory today.
That guy hit another one from me.
Man, I'm so pissed.
Darn it.
LAUGHING
Hyun-in.
Take a bow.
-Nice!
-Good work.
-Nice game.
-Nice game.
I want to win every game while I'm here.
And I want to make as many players smile.
Good work!
It'd be best to end every game
in that way.
At first, I thought we could win.
But after we played,
I realized they were famous for a reason.
We had a great experience
through this game today.
I am greatly satisfied.
-Busan High School.
-The Monsters.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Why would you hit
a 43-year-old man's pitch?
I'll remember you until I die.
CK MONSTERS AND BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL
ACTING MANAGER
PARK YONG-TAEK'S FIRST VICTORY
-Park Yong-taek!
-Park Yong-taek!
A TRAITOR (?), VERY SATISFIED
Lee Seung-yuop.
Captain, come over here.
You have to come here.
This is awkward.
ALL SEATED
Now, despite the unprecedented transfer
of our manager,
CK Monsters reached the 17th victory!
SCREAM!
CLAPPING
(FEELING PROUD)
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek,
a word, please.
I think today's match ended
around the second inning.
Busan High's lineup was rather focused,
but we stopped them
without losing a point,
taking the lead completely.
Keun-woo, your catch as a center fielder.
-Everything came together today.
-Yes.
You'll be surprised
when you see the commentators.
They said Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
is the deity of baseball.
To be frank, we could have won this one
without the manager's presence.
WE WOULD'VE WON(?)
HE'S PRETTY MUCH USELESS(?)
THE YONG-TAEK ATTACKER(?)
(SHAKING HEAD)
Well, his strategy seemed like it worked.
One thing I realized was
that players must play well
to create a great leader
once again through this game.
I see.
Now, let me announce the MVP candidates.
Five innings, five hits, four strikeouts,
one point lost.
Oh Ju-won!
STARTING PITCHER, OH JU-WON
Five at-bats, two hits, and one triple.
Choi Soo-hyun!
A TRIPLE MACHINE, CHOI SOO-HYUN
And the man who led the team to victory
thanks to his awesome lineup,
Acting Manager Park Yong-taek.
ACTING MANAGER PARK YONG-TAEK(?)
DUMBFOUNDED…
They all look stern.
They don't want to hear it
no matter what he says.
Why won't you clap?
You can at least clap, right?
YOU CAN AT LEAST CLAP…
And let me announce the MVP right away.
How many times did you win?
Once? Twice? Once?
-Soo-hyun has none, right?
-Today…
You were very impressive today.
I think it'll be Yong-taek.
WHO'LL BECOME THE MVP?
It's Choi Soo-hyun!
HE FINALLY BECOMES THE MVP
FOR THE FIRST TIME!
You finally became the MVP!
CONGRATULATIONS!
A WAVE OF HIGH-FIVES
You're closer to becoming a professional.
A HUGE SMILE
And after you pushed me to the center!
AFTER YOU PUSHED ME TO THE CENTER
Shouldn't you put it on him?
WHAT?
-Manager Park, hurry up.
-Manager? Right.
HURRYING
He has no idea what to do.
ARE YOU REALLY THE MANAGER?!
ACTING MANAGER TAEK SUFFERS
Soo-hyun, good job.
-Yes.
-Okay.
From Jun-h* to Hyun-in,
and Hyun-in to Soo-hyun.
-Goodness.
-Come on.
EVERYONE BOOS
Come on.
LOSING IT
Congratulations.
-Congrats.
-Thank you.
-You're all we can trust now.
-Great job!
-Give him a hug.
-He needs a hug.
-Give him a hug.
-He needs a hug.
A SUDDEN U-TURN
(GOOD GRIEF…)
Stop ordering Manager Park around!
THE SOLE MAN ON HIS SIDE (?)
This is the first time
Soo-hyun becomes an MVP
ever since he joined the team.
HE BECOMES THE MVP
FOR THE FIRST TIME
I don't think I've shown
anything impressive so far,
so I was rather disappointed about that.
I always hoped to be the MVP
before I leave,
so I'm very thrilled
that this became a reality today.
Above any awards I received over my life,
this is the most novel,
special, and greatest recognition.
It's also meaningful
because this was the first game
where Captain Park
became Acting Manager Park.
I showed a great performance
and became the MVP today,
so I'm grateful for that too.
-That's all.
-Congratulations!
FIRST-TIME CONGRATS
When he talked about the manager,
he nodded like this.
YES
I could never hear anything here,
but it's so clear today.
Soo-hyun, you'll keep playing.
YOU KNOW WHO TO SIDE WITH
I was quite worried today,
but I could enjoy it at leisure.
I did enjoy it at leisure,
but I did choke up here and there.
It's because of this one man,
Ryu Hyun-in.
Today is his last day
as a member of the Monsters.
It's very sad to see him go.
I don't want him to go.
SAD TO SEE HIM GO
Is this time to cry?
After seeing the game today, I thought,
"How am I going to let him go?"
Hyun-in, I'll offer you fivefold.
SALARY, FRONT MONEY TIMES 5
A CRAZY NEGOTIATION
400 MILLION WON
SURPRISED
Then stay.
Do you choose your dream or money?
Dream. I'll choose my dream.
OH NO…
He's still young.
Go ahead.
He needs to face reality.
Now, the production crew prepared
one final present for Hyun-in.
His keystone partner, Jeong Keun-woo,
will present the award to him.
He gets a lot.
A farewell doesn't seem so bad.
-What is it?
-What is it?
WOW!
The photo album. That's really great.
A GIFT FOR HYUN-IN!
Go there and play well. You can do this.
It's a bat signed by the entire team
and a photo book
of your journey over six months.
First off, through A Clean Sweep,
I got a chance to play
alongside my seniors.
I thought this in itself was
really great and a big honor.
I'd like to thank Director Jang
for making this happen.
It's a shame to say goodbye,
but I'll become a professional player
and become great like my seniors.
I'll become a noteworthy player.
Thank you.
HYUN-IN THREW HIMSELF
TO STOP THE TEAM FROM A CRISIS
HYUN-IN'S UNFORGETTABLE
AND MAGICAL FIELDING
HE'S NOW RYU HYUN-IN, A PRO BALLPLAYER,
NOT A MEMBER OF THE MONSTERS
IN THE END,
HE COLORFULLY PAINTED HIS LAST GAME
WITH A TWO-RUN HOME RUN
RYU HYUN-IN BIDS FAREWELL TO
A CLEAN SWEEP WITH A TWO-RUN HOMER
Look behind you.
What's that?
WE SUPPORT YOU, OUR FUTURE
WE SUPPORT YOU, OUR FUTURE
Is it spelled correctly?
THE NIGHTMARE OF YOUP
Yes, it's correct.
I hope you do well.
-You got this!
-You got it!
Go, Ryu Hyun-in!
Become the Rookie of the Year.
Now, I'm not sure
why we fall into so many crises.
We're about to face the best.
THEY FINALLY FACE THE BEST
You'll be up against a professional team
from the Futures League.
THERE'S OUR TROUBLE
SIGH…
You can do it, right?
I hope it rains.
PLEASE LET IT RAIN OUT (?)
-I hope it rains.
-Why don't you want to play them and win?
Chi Seok-hoon finally has a job.
You mean, Chi Seok-hoon?
Come the day before and get them wasted.
COME THE DAY BEFORE
AND MAKE THE DINOS WASTED(?)
NC Dinos?
That's his job. They're with NC.
Think of a way to win fair and square.
Then we can't win.
They aren't amateurs.
We're finally up
against a professional team.
Let me hear from you
as you're about to face this game.
I believe this is the toughest team yet.
Instead of playing to win,
we'll have to do our best
hoping that we'll win.
In a way, this is Manager Park's test.
TEST(?)
EVEN AFTER A VICTORY,
HE'S CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATED(?)
He's in a good mood today.
You keep testing him.
I look forward to seeing
what Manager Park can do.
He said a great leader is
made by the players, right?
I believe a truly strong team is
a team where the manager
doesn't really stand out.
This game will become a test to see
how good of a team we really are.
Also, our team's real competitive spirit.
The ones they haven't brought out yet.
I'm sure you'll see that.
I took out everything.
What is it? Who's talking?
Keun-woo said he took out everything.
OUT OF COMPETITIVE SPIRIT(?)
Every drop he had.
Why do I suddenly hear everything?
Anyway, I hope you do your best
and turn the games into a sweep.
OUR GOAL IS A SWEEP!
I hope we win one and lose one.
Let's gather around and wrap up.
LET'S GATHER AROUND!
Are we lifting Hyun-in?
-Yes, Hyun-in.
-Let's do it.
-Lifting him?
-Yes, lifting.
We'll throw you to the drone.
-Don't hurt him.
-Don't hurt him.
Do it slowly.
He's not on our team. He can get hurt.
Let's throw him the highest.
NERVOUS
-Why is he so heavy?
-Right here.
-I need you here.
-Come here.
Kim Moon-h*, get in here.
It's too crowded.
-Right here.
-Lift him up high.
-One, two, three.
-Slowly.
-One second.
-What's wrong?
My shoulder is done.
-One, two, three.
-My shoulder hurts.
One, two, three.
BARELY SURVIVES
Congratulations!
Hyun-in, thanks for your hard work!
YOU GAVE US SO MUCH HAPPINESS
-Hyun-in.
-Hyun-in.
THE LAST GROUP PHOTO
Hyun-in, don't cry.
Don't cry, you fool
He sings better than I thought.
22 GAMES 17 WINS 5 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE .770
YET ANOTHER STINGER FROM THE FUTURE
Get out of here, you peddler.
What? You're still here?
Hey, what are you doing?
So you were on TV a few times?
LOOK AT YOU
You got on TV a few times?
INTIMIDATED
Hyun-in, why are you here?
-I came by.
-Come here.
HYUN-IN'S FAN, SUN-WOO IS HERE
Is this what you meant
by coming to see Dae-h*?
-Yes.
-That's what you messaged me about?
-Bring a camera. I'll take a picture.
-Okay.
You should rub Dae-h*'s tummy
and say, "Luck, come to me."
Sorry, but I think you'll need that
more than he does.
Your hands are rotten. Come here.
Luck, please come to me.
I'm losing my luck.
-That's luck?
-Luck, please.
Come on, pray for luck.
I'll cut your hand if you touch me.
Are you still scared of Dae-h*?
You've never met him before?
It's not that he's angry at you.
This is how he always talks.
His voice is like this,
but this means he's caring.
Okay?
Yes, sir.
Come and do it.
-Come on.
-Hurry up and say it.
Shout it out.
-Shout it out.
-Say it!
-Let me do well.
-That you'll be a shortstop.
I want to do well.
I WANT TO DO WELL
GETS UP
Give me the camera.
Camera out.
This is hilarious.
-Keep it up.
-Yes.
HE SOUNDS SWEET
WE FULLY SUPPORT
HYUN-IN'S PROFESSIONAL CAREER!
THE FIRST MATCH
AGAINST A PROFESSIONAL TEAM
THEIR BATTLE AGAINST THE DINOS
FINALLY BEGINS
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU SHOULD'VE CAUGHT IT
JEEZ, THAT'S A FAST PITCH
It's a push hit.
The shortstop quickly throws.

The second baseman…
RUN QUICKLY!
SWINGS AND MISSES, STRIKEOUT
SWINGS AND MISSES, TWO STRIKEOUTS
RHEE DAE-EUN PLAYS LIKE
HE HASN'T RETIRED
He hits the high pitch.
Right center. It falls.
I knew it.
A pull hit. The first baseman catches!
