Chapter 38 World Series G1 (6)

"boom!"

"boom!"

Every time he catches a ball, Yuri's thumb feels a sharp pain!
Fortunately, Carpenter's precise control of the ball minimized his number of catches, and finally survived the round.

As soon as they returned to the waiting room, the nursing staff and the coaching team immediately surrounded them.

The nurse carefully took off Yuri's gloves, the thumb was already very swollen, and she couldn't see anything from the inspection of the party building like this, she could only make a rough judgment, at least it had been strained, and she had to take a film for the specifics!
The lounge was instantly dead silent, which already meant that Yuri would be absent from the following games!

Everyone knows what it means to be without him!
Lasso sighed and patted Yuri on the shoulder, hoping the young man would not be too sad!After all, this is the World Series!Who wouldn't want to show off their style?
"Fix it first! Let's talk about this after this!" Yuri quickly made a decision. Of course, this is not arrogance. He really wants to be the hero of St. Louis!But before that, he was a professional player first!You must not and will not joke about your future career!

"It's not tearing! ~Hiss~" Yuri raised his hand and shook it, the pain really hurt!But catching the ball shouldn't affect him, so he said to Lasso apologetically, "It's just a hit... Maybe it won't work!"

"Hitting or something! I said it earlier! You will never hit a hit! I want you to stay on the court!" Laso didn't persuade him anymore, he was also young before, how could he not know Yuri's current mentality, and persuaded him It was useless, so he punched with his intact right hand: "Don't force it!"

Ha~ Yuri smiled and asked the nurse to fix the thumb. Once the pain passed, there was no impact when catching the ball, but it was numb and felt nothing.

The nursing staff accompanying the team are all professional, not to mention minor fixation, even some operations are not a problem.
After it was done, Yuri got up and moved around. He put on protective gear again when he thought it was nothing serious, and looked at the court, hoping that his teammates could score points quickly, so that both he and Carpenter would be much more relaxed.

but……

After all, it is the turn of the second round... Of course it is best to play well, but it is better not to be too reluctant, especially Carpenter, Yuri hopes that he can try his best to solve it with a sacrifice strike and get off the field as soon as possible, the weather It's so cold, don't let your shoulders and elbows cool down, or you will be easily injured, and your ball control will lose precision.That's big trouble!to him!It's much more important to shoot well than to play well!

unexpected!The Cardinals' first hit today was actually hit by the second baseman Ponto of Di Baba!
The ball crosses the center line and Ponto hits first base!
Carpenter is also very direct, and he puts the short bat directly on the strike zone!Make it clear what your plan is!

Pitching is an expensive position, and most pitchers aren't as good at hitting as they are good at pitching!What's more, Carpenter, who has gone through countless pains!It is already a miracle that he can stand on the mound!Asking him to swing a bat and hit long... is really too much to do!

As for swinging a big stick...he thought about it, but this is really not his forte. He hit the ball, but failed!

1 out, first base manned.

And the order returns to the first stick Foucault!
At this time, the advancement and strike are particularly important!As a result, Pento's distance from the base is also relatively far away, hoping to allow Wilson to restrain himself more!Affect his pitching rhythm!
But Wilson is an extremely experienced pitcher after all!Tsing Yi struck out Foucault with an inside corner kick!

And Joe didn't win the next second bat, and was out of the game with an infield roll ball!

Tsk!Yuri in the waiting room clicked his tongue. At this time, he missed Wainwright a little. Although Wainwright had undergone TJ surgery at the beginning of the season, the two had no chance to cooperate, but this did not prevent them from being good at collecting Yuri of the news knows this pitcher who is good at hitting!

If Carpenter also had this ability, that number of outs would not be easily wasted... Maybe this round...

no solution anymore!Buckle up your mask!
At this time, the team doctor Joel came over and reminded him seriously: "Even if there is no tear now! You can continue to catch the ball, if you are unlucky...you know the result! How long will the tear take to recuperate?"

Even if I have never suffered this kind of injury, but I am surrounded by professional players, I have never seen what kind of injury, and I am very clear about the recovery period of various injuries. There is a smile on the face under the mask. The gray old man: "Don't worry! The offseason is very long!" After speaking, he rushed into the arena!
Pooh!Only then did Joel realize what Yuri meant!
The offseason is long? Isn't that what you mean by not being afraid of getting hurt?Even if it is torn, it can be recovered in as long as five or six months?idiot!Don't practice during the offseason?

Don't need to keep the state?

Thanks to him being so calm on the court!After all, he is still a passionate young man!
Thinking of Joel's glance at the head coach next to him, he couldn't believe that Russo didn't hear the conversation between the two just now!
Of course Russo heard it, but he knew Yuri!This person has this sex!If persuasion is useful, I would have sprayed my saliva clean!
So at this time, he can only shrug at Joel helplessly!

……

As a professional player, especially a veteran player like the starter, who has never had any major or minor injuries, everyone knows what is going on with Yuri!

Everyone insists on going into battle with injuries like this, and they can't hold back!

They all focused their attention to the extreme!In this round, there was an extremely beautiful three ups and three downs!
This made Yuri, whose fingers ached, breathe a sigh of relief!

After all, next, it will be the turn of Pujols on their side!

No one in the big leagues doubts Pujols' ability to strike.

The Rangers will have no doubts here!The shooting partner is also more rigorous in his distribution of the ball!

But dodging the strong is a state of mind!Sometimes this kind of weird psychology really cannot be suppressed if you want to suppress it.And if you keep tightening the string, accidents will inevitably happen.

Wilson was no surprise either!
After two good and one bad!He misses!

Not only did the ball not get into the strike zone!It even hit Pujols' foot directly!

A touch ball walks Pujols to first base!
Wilson sighed!Looking at the waiting room, he wanted to ask the coach if he should dodge and walk directly to the next Holliday!
The coach of the Rangers shook his head, even if he got out of the way of Holiday now, there were Berkman and Frith behind him!Both are strong hitters!Instead of risking two people on the plate and facing them, why not choose to face Holiday with only Pujols on the plate now!
The stadium is boiling!Everyone loves that 'Holiday Brother' Holliday can return their beloved hero Pujols!

Holliday rocks the stick!Suppressing some excitement, everything!Let’s talk about it later!

Everyone is stressed!Who is afraid of whom!

First ball!

come on!

"boom!"

Because Pujols was on the first base, Holliday, who hit from the right, did not pull the high ball back, but pushed it directly to the right sideline extremely cleverly!

"Inside!"

Pujols rushed out, even though his feet were still hurting from the touch just now!Even if his speed is already fast!But still running with all his might!
The second base coach waved, and Pujols ran past second base!rush!Get to third base!
No one is out now!Just get to third base!A high-flying sacrifice play can score a point for the team!
this moment!He couldn't hear the deafening cheers in the boiling stadium!He just wants to hit third base!
