soul of baseball

Chapter 440 Red and White 1
In fact, the interesting thing about American baseball lies in the "comprehensiveness" of their players. Because of their interest, many children in high school are multi-dwelling, and even play several sports very well. The game is even more amazing, they will play outfield and infield, and even squat or board from time to time.

The adaptation stage of college is also in the process of adjustment. For example, among the 18 players on the rookie team, nine of them have squatted and caught, 18 of them have guarded the infield, and [-] of them have been pitchers at the district level.

That leaves a lot of wiggle room, and Kara just waits to see if something interesting happens.

Of course, in professional games, there are quite a few people running around in various positions, so there is the term "tool man"~ So Kara doesn't care at all about the players in her team who can't play well in some positions, and can't play well. Well, until you find your best position.

In his opinion, university grades are not too important, and it is too late to talk about everything after entering the profession. After all, for most healthy players, their careers are very long, and they have time, energy and opportunities to grind slowly.

But now there are many future stars in the team, so the opportunity to be teammates has come.

When scouts come to observe those starlets, they can also show themselves more.

Papa let out a long breath, and then stood on the strike zone, feeling a little nervous.

In fact, he also played the first batsman in high school. At that time, his speed was pretty good, but now in this team, his footwork is not good enough.

What did Qin Qin say?After asking myself, do you think he has the highest winning percentage as the No. [-] baseball team?
Cutie is superstitious?

In the rest room, Shen Qin also imitated the appearance of a coach and leaned against the handrail beside the stairs. He was very satisfied with his demeanor: Wow~ Being a coach turned out to be such a feeling, so cool hahahaha~ waved the paper karaoke on his hand I have to come and listen to myself hahahaha~
Looking at Kou Chi, who is so obedient and lying on the sidelines, he is even more satisfied.
The obedient boy blinked: "Why did you let Papa play the first bat?"

"Because he was more confident when he hit the first bat!"

"that's it?"

"Of course, people can perform better when they have confidence. Otherwise, why would there be a saying that the pitcher was blown up? It's that the confidence was knocked out. Hey, that's right, what did you say just now?"

"The ice bucket challenge will be held after a while, and the ticket revenue from the opening game will be donated."

I've heard of the ice bucket challenging Shen Qin, but I don't know exactly what it does.

I have to admit that Coach is indeed very knowledgeable in some aspects: "Have you heard of Iron Horse?"

Shaking his head: "No, Two-dimensional?"

"NO! The Yankees used to be No. 4 in the Hall of Fame and the first player to retire his jersey."

No. 4 Shen Qin knows it, because Yuri's jersey back number is No. 4, so he will also subconsciously observe the No. 4 of the other team. The previous conflict in Williamsport was Yuri's squatting arrest. No. 4 faced top hitter Hamilton No. 4, and then a conflict broke out.He remembers that incident very clearly, because the Cardinals' backup catcher at the time was kicked and forced to retire.And the injured player Cuito later went to the San Francisco Giants, and now he will be booed as soon as he comes to St. Louis: "Is he related to the ice bucket challenge?"

"Of course, he retired at the age of 36 because he suffered from ALS and passed away two years later, so the ice bucket challenge is a fundraising event for this disease."

"Oh!"

"Didn't you see the Cardinals this morning? The Piscotti deal."

"Didn't he get traded to the Athletic? What does it have to do with ALS?"

"His trade was not decided by the Cardinals unilaterally, but Piscotti himself offered to hope that the Cardinals traded him to the Bay Area. His mother suffered from this disease. too much……"

Objectively speaking, whether it is the Cardinals or Piscotti himself, they are doing very well in this regard, and they are very amicable emotionally. Compared with the past parting ways with the Pujols who did not talk about emotions, this time it is very reasonable.

The topic did not continue, and everyone's attention was focused on Papa.

I don't know whether it's because of his confidence in hitting the first bat as Shen Qin said or because he feels good today. He hit a deep double at the first bat, which made Shen Qin rush to the field to warm up. Coach could not help but whistled.

Kara, who was acting as the chief judge, stared blankly: "This is an official game for Coach, why don't you go to the waiting area and wait in the lounge?"

Naturally, you can't say such things while chatting. Coach could only make a face and quickly turn his head to look at the pitcher's mound, pretending he didn't know there was a referee on the right.Even if Kara and Salvador teamed up to cheat a good shot, I would not be afraid. I don't care if he hits a good shot or a bad shot, just hit it!
Put the stick up!
The stick that was about to be swung vigorously slid across the hand the moment the ball was released~
clang! ! !
The bat hit the ball and bounced along the first-base line.

The first baseman returned to the base bag, the pitcher quickly went downhill to deal with it, and the ball was passed empty-handed to kill the first base in one go. Coach was tackled in front of the first base bag, but the task was completed. Because the direction of the point was very good, the second baseman Papa made his way to third base.

Coach stepped on the failed base and ran back to the waiting room, and slapped Shen Qin who was still playing 13 on the high place.

The lounge of the UMBC baseball stadium is very similar to that of a professional team. There are rows of high seats behind the front guardrail, so that players do not have to sit on the double benches against the wall and get sore while waiting. .

"Can you keep your face off?"

Shen Qin tilted his head: "Aren't all coaches like this? I think every coach likes to stand in this position, and they need a foot to reach the upper steps~" He quickly simulated: "Elbows propped on thighs and chin dragging, yes yes, that's what I am now, how does it look?"

"It's not good, put your feet away quickly."

"Is it not good?"

"Not good." Coach really couldn't stand it anymore. After thinking about it, he could only induce him: "To be a young coach, you must have your own innovation to call yourself young?"

"For example, you just stand casually, don't rub your chin, or do you have a double chin? Or chewing tobacco? It's a pity that you will not be able to register as a professional player through the draft in 2019 at the earliest. Up the chewing tobacco."

This is a hard rule in the major leagues. Players who register after 16 years lose the right to chew and use chewing tobacco on the court.

After all, this is not the same as secretly eating chicken legs, so the saliva must be spit out.Well, what I want to say here is that someone was caught and fined for stealing chicken legs and drinking beer.
