Chapter 65: Casting and Catching
The four-bat Hinata hit a high fly ball from the left field that flew far away, and was finally caught and killed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Next, the fifth batter Arimura also hit a high fly ball, which was picked up by the second baseman and knocked out - the ball counted four goals.
Six-batter Uraga hit an infield roll, which was picked up by the shortstop and knocked out - four balls.
Three people are out, and the offense and defense are exchanged.
"What a great throwing combination! Our team members are almost in control. "Minister Yu told the truth.
"It's very powerful, but it's not as powerful as when we were our partner!" The humor of the witch overseer.
Minister Yujie smiled: "Bei sauce! You're praising ourselves in a different way! Hey, hey, hey! But what...... I like it! ”
Trainee Manuchi Hayase Weisha curled a strand of long hair on his fingers, a little unconvinced: "If, just now Xiao Hinata senior still didn't swing the stick, sit back and wait for the escort ......"
"Hmmm╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph! In that case...... The situation will not change much, that is...... One more record of the stump! The witch overseer dispelled Hayase's illusions.
"......" Hayase could only silently record the game, but his left fist was clenched tightly.
Diamond Course.
Spectacle catcher Saji Arimura went up to the pitcher's hill and said to Matsui: "Matsui-kun, think about how the opponent used the defensive formation to solve our 456 stick just now......"
"......" Matsui looked at Arimura, who was walking towards the trapper's position, silent, thoughtful.
In the first half of the fifth inning, the visitors attacked in the future and played the fifth bat, and the broadcast of the players' names suddenly disappeared again.
Catcher Arimura looked at the pitcher: Matsui, even the world's No. 1 pitcher needs the support of the defensive line, no matter how good the pitch is, there is a chance that someone will be hit. If the lead is bank savings, then the inside and outside defensive formations are accident insurance, and the two complement each other and have their own uses. If the pitcher can't solve the hitter, he will leave it to the defensive team to solve it, so that he can keep the bank savings, and this is how accident insurance is used! Matsui monk!
On the pitcher's mound, Matsui leveled the sand with his feet, then looked up at the home plate: Do you use the defensive line to get the hitter out? Belch...... It's good to just knock out the beaters one by one, don't be so troublesome, right?
Matsui stepped on the pitcher's board, and at this time another voice appeared in his head and said: Matsui monk! Arimura seniors have a point, strikeouts need to throw at least three balls, and let the strikeouts hit all the shots, it may only use one ball.
One ball! It was a one-shot, which meant a lot of ball savings, and it meant I could shoot longer innings – and the temptation to "one shot" began to linger in Matsui's mind...... Strikeouts? Or a ball?
Matsui is really fighting left and right now!
"Bang!" The ball thrown by Matsui was captured and went into Arimura's glove.
“Strike!”
Arimura passes the ball up to the pitcher's mound: Matsui's possession is starting to get a little subtle...... If it was the first few innings, this outside corner low shot should be more tricky.
Matsui throws the second ball.
"Bang!" When he received the ball, Arimura Saji widened his eyes behind his glasses.
“Strike,Two!”
Arimura took out the baseball in his glove and glanced at the beater, and quietly wiped the white sweat from his heart: Bigu Richta (startled)! This ball is so sweet! Fortunately, the beater didn't come out!
Matsui monk, don't go to extremes, good balls and bad balls still have to be thrown together!
The third ball was thrown.
The batter hit the ball this time!
"Ping!" The ball was knocked out!
But the ball didn't fly forward! Instead, he spun around and flew straight behind home plate, "Duang! "The ball hit the net!
Arimura, who turned around, showed a bitter expression (→_→): Matsui has now become a wild horse that has escaped the reins! That's not going to work!
Arimura firmly carried out his duties as a catcher and issued a pitching code.
Matsui saw the code: Arimura seniors instructed the next ball to throw a finger fork...... Belch? Isn't this the strategy of the strikeouts? Didn't you say that you want the hitter to hit the ball?
Matsui straightened his waist: The seniors are really changing, I don't have an accurate idea, I'd better match the ball myself!
Matsui stepped on the pitcher's board: No, my seniors asked me to throw a finger crossball, maybe there is any other purpose in it......
Follow the instructions? Or do it yourself?
On the surface, it is Matsui who is fighting left and right - in fact, it is throwing and catching each other.
The ball was still thrown.
Arimura stares at the approaching ball: it must fall! Be sure to fall!
Maybe Arimura's words played a role, and the ball suddenly fell straight down before it hit the base!
The batter hits the ball!
Hitter's upper body: Swing out the bat, completely empty!
Beater's lower body: The two feet are entangled almost by themselves.
The beater himself is not without gains - at least he did not lose his balance and fall, which shows that the beater's balance and flexibility are very good.
The referee also ushered in the performance time, pulling the bow and releasing the arrow: "Strike, Three!" Batter,Out! ”
In the rest area on the third base, no one made a sound, not even mocking, showing an alternative quiet.
In the rest area on the first base, there were bursts of cheers and applause from the home team.
"Subarasi!"
"Matsui's ball is wonderful!"
"Completely mobilized the beaters!"
"Uh...... How do I have a feeling that these balls don't look like they were intentionally deployed? "Youdou has made the old mistake of telling the truth again.
"If these balls are deliberately deployed by the shooting, it is really powerful!" Ace Junichiro Izumita, who failed to get on the board, supported Yuto again?
Hearing this conversation, the question mark on the face of Hayase of the Manuchi family (⊙_⊙? - I'm a trainee, I don't understand it yet.
The witch overseer and the minister of the royal sister glanced at each other, but the royal sister did not speak, but the witch gave orders: "Amagi-kun, you go to the cowshed to warm up!" Waido-kun, you serve as a cowshed catcher! ”
"Hah!" "Yes!" The two of them took the order to go—Amagi Hayabusa's eight-figure overlord step, and Waito just silently straightened his mask (not the catcher's mask).
"Supervise good eyesight (so strict)!" Junichiro Izumida and Takuya Maeda, who didn't get the opportunity to board the board, both of them agreed, and this sentence came out of their hearts.
Grabbing a strikeout, Matsui looked back in form and possession was back.
Facing the 6th batter, Matsui quickly gained a goal advantage of two good and one bad.
Arimura turned to the referee and changed a new ball: although the effect of the goal just now was good, but it was a crooked hit, not a conscious cooperation, and now Matsui can immediately understand the concept of accepting the nine-man defensive formation and use it in actual combat, which is not realistic. The game of left and right ideas will interfere with his concentration. As a catcher, I can only do things to increase the chips for the pitcher, not the other way around, so leave the brain-burning things to me!
With a wave of Arimura's hand, a new ball was passed to the pitcher's mound.
Seeing the pitcher receive the ball, Arimura smiled, and laughed a little dirty: Matsui's ** is guarded by me!
"Let the horses come! Matsui! Cast your best! Arimura shouted at the pitcher.
Hawkers! Let's find more points of convergence with Matsui in actual combat! Arimura squatted in the trapper's position while thinking, and he did not give a secret instruction, but directly signaled with his gloves.
Matsui was a little confused: What kind of catcher genre is this Arimura senior? Don't even use a code?
However, in the rest area, the witch overseer saw through everything: "We have a good catcher, how lucky we are!" ”
"It's a catcher who can wipe his ass......" Minister Yujie still didn't say this.
