Chapter 782 Hound VS Husky

But if Coach is allowed to start, it means that there will be a lack of three games in this game, and KK will have to squat to catch.This will not only affect KK's attacking state, but also has the risk that Coach, who is unstable, will be blown up suddenly and cannot make perfect adjustments.

Scherzer's first start is actually the best decision so far.One is that he has always been stable, and the chance of being suddenly blown up is very small, but he has no experience in the playoffs during the NCAA season, so it cannot be said to be absolute.

But his partner is Shen Qin, which means that the plastic surgery is absolutely complete, KK can play the easiest guerrilla, and Nishikawa can also play in the position he is most accustomed to.Coach can also go back and forth between guerrilla and relay, which maximizes the flexibility of scheduling.

In short, this has to be carefully considered by Kara and his coaching staff.

As the defeated party, UMBC flew to Pittsburgh in a low-key manner, and then got on the bus and headed to the countryside in despair.It was the cheerleaders and a group of fans who didn't know if they were genuinely loyal or organized by the school gave flowers and encouragement.

But this is really the countryside...

At least Shen Qin looked around and there were no buildings with more than two floors. Even the hotel he was in had only one floor, and with all kinds of wooden decorations, it had the style of a country bar.

Well, he hasn't been to any country pub, that's the owner's self-introduction, and that if UMBC loses, he'll buy everyone a drink.

Who likes to hear this!If you win, you have to drink, if you lose, you go back to school and wait for the holiday!
Who will lose!

They have only one goal in this game - to win!

Fortunately, a small place also has the benefits of a small place, at least it is quiet enough.But Shen Qin doubted their hardware facilities here.

He has no special requirements, but at least the dirt and grass must keep up with the average level, otherwise he will be easily injured and his performance will be greatly affected.

So Kara dragged his teammates to the stadium early in the morning, so that everyone could adapt to the day in advance.

The course is called 'Chocolate Crisp'~ the name is very sweet, but the course is indeed a bit sloppy.

It’s not that its hardware is bad. The distance between the auditorium and the left and right field is actually no problem.It's just that the grass is still being repaired~ it's not a simple repair, but the standard is too different.Apparently it was rarely used in the past.

I heard that it is much worse than the venue of the Husky School.

But these can be ignored, but the shape of the outfield is too disgusting.

There was a raised mound in the corner of left field, and it turned a pure right angle, then slanted out again.The right field is even more exaggerated. Compared with the buildings in the town, this is the highest place, right?The wall is too high!

Shen Qin has never been to the home court of the Boston Red Sox, so he doesn't know how tall that green monster is, but the red monster in front of him is obviously huge!
At least judging from the courses he has played, this is definitely the tallest wall!Fortunately, there is no auditorium above, otherwise he should worry about whether something will fall during the game.

Shen Qin's habit is to familiarize himself with the field as much as possible before the game, so that he can carefully avoid it when defending or attacking, and the direction of the attack can also be taken into account.

it's very windy……

I don't know if it's against the wind right now, or if it will always be in the current situation during the game, which is not very friendly to the hitters.

Pitcher heaven?

Coupled with the extremely wide outfield, it can be said that it is very difficult to score points by home runs, and we must pay attention to the series of hitting lines.

However, the spacious area behind home plate allows many foul balls to be caught.

Very difficult to fight!

In fact, even if it is Scherzer, there are many troublesome points. First, Scherzer is a typical strikeout player, which makes it very difficult for him to slow down his ball speed.Although there is no problem with the long shot, the game has to be considered far away. It is impossible for people to think about more than 100 goals just for this game.

So when to replace it is very important.

It is said that baseball has many starting points.

First, when the starting pitcher is replaced, no matter how hard the suppression is at the beginning, the game is equivalent to starting over for the opponent's line.

Second, after two outs, fight hard, who knows where the game will go.

This is a critical scheduling for Kara.

When is the right time to switch to Scherzer?
If it breaks down, do you want to persist?

If the bases are full, should we continue to trust or replace in time to stop the bleeding?But this is also an unknown, maybe the bullpen has a big explosion out of nowhere?
Another point is very important. If the score is not much ahead and the number of rounds is still long, but the number of balls is used, what should we do?

Not only that, as a rookie coach, the team has reached the playoffs for the first time, and the pressure on Kara will not be less than anyone else.

Once there is a problem with scheduling, it is not your fault, it will become your fault.

What's more important is Coach, whether to consider joining the starting rotation, or use it as a move between guerrilla and bullpen.

Shen Qin shook his head and decided to run a lap along the home run wall, not only to calm down and relax, but also to get familiar with the situation in the outfield. After all, he has not yet determined which position he will be assigned.

"Qin! How's the status?" Kara trotted to his side: "Can the venue adapt?"

"It's okay, but I think this field is not easy to play, the outfield is too strange."

"Haha~ Don't be nervous, relax, when you play in the major leagues, every stadium is new to you, you still have to get used to it early."

"Yes, Yuri always told me to go to various stadiums to watch the ball if there is nothing to do. It is also good to buy tickets for the outfield and walk around."

Kara agrees with this point very much. Although players and fans are in different positions, they can all walk along the home run wall. If you look around more, you need to be familiar with it: "Want to squat arrest?"

Huh?Um?Huh huh?Shen Qin stopped in his tracks and looked at Kara in surprise!He was really surprised. He should have thought about it very late in Kara. It was because Xiu also went to the outfield now, creating a vacancy with a weak defense. He has been running around the home run wall. For this reason, the one who feels most likely to be in the outfield is: "Me?"

"Yes, you know, I have to pay special attention to KK's physical problems, and his strike ability is too important. I don't want him to be tired from squatting and catch to affect his strike state or leave the game due to injury."

"You're different, you're fit and your evasion is top notch."

Blinking at this point, he was making fun of his dodge on first base.

Shen Qin was a little helpless: "I really want to squat and catch, but I still have to consider the team as a whole. This is up to you to make a decision. No matter what the arrangement is, I will cooperate well. Don't worry!"
