Chapter 196: Called a pause

There are people on second base, but it's already two outs. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the number of balls is also absolutely beneficial to the defending side, two good and one bad.

Although Li Yuanrang didn't dare to relax his nerves, the opponent's attack in this half game seemed to end here.

Right-to-left throws and can't throw a variation ball that escapes to the outside corner.

So in the face of the fourth ball of the hitter Ishiwatar, Li Yuanrang was paired with a slider that scored into the low dead corner of the inside corner.

The low inside corner is not a particularly good position, and if it is a change ball, it will be even more difficult to aim.

Pitcher Akio Yabe's slide is still evolving.

Although teammates who train together every day may not feel it. However, compared to the summer, the power and sharpness have increased a lot.

This inside slider is of good quality and has solid ball control.

As soon as the ball was shot, Li Yuanrang felt that he could win the number of outs.

However, this is not the case.

Although the average hitter will find it difficult to force the ball at this angle. But that's not the case with sticky players.

Their concept of striking is different from that of ordinary people.

The average hitter swings a batter and seeks a hit. And the sticky beater is just "destroying" the ball.

The first is to make the bat touch the baseball. Then, if possible, try to keep the baseball flying to the sidelines.

Stickers practice the destruction of the ball from a variety of positions.

The low change ball in the inside corner is certainly no exception.

Ishiwatari hit the ball almost vertically with his bat downward, and the baseball hit the middle of the bat, and then the baseball flew not to the nearest first base, but to the side of Sanyuma in the opposite direction.

If you look at this ball from the perspective of sticky play, I'm afraid it didn't play well enough. Because the trajectory of the ball is in bounds, it does not fly out of bounds.

But judging from the current situation on the field. Perhaps this goal can seek the greatest benefit for the attacking team's Hayata.

"Kawasaki!"

The moment the baseball was knocked out, Li Yuanrang shouted in the direction of third base.

He wasn't all that used to commanding the infield line to defend it. But this time it had to be done.

Because the angle of this ball is really a little subtle, at least for the inner field defense of the Peace Academy.

Kawasaki, the third baseman, stood on the base pack and caught the fly ball in a good way. The front roll of the earth is also connected.

However, the ball that needs to be moved between the three games is not the type he is good at.

In most cases, the ball in the direction of the three games is the responsibility of the shortstop Tokuda.

However, this goal was obviously closer to the third baseman's defense zone, and Tokuda was too late to come over even if he wanted to.

With Li Yuanrang's shouting. Kawasaki on third base began a frightening side pounce.

And then there were no surprises.

The baseball passed through the line before he did, and finally entered the outfield through the gap under his armpit that he hadn't had time to block.

Left fielder Suzuki was originally a shortstop and his speed was okay. Trotting all the way forward and finally catching up on the ball was picked up.

If it's a normal runner on base, it should be able to prevent the opponent from scoring.

But this time it was Shigemitsu Hayata's eighth baton that started from second base, and the fast leg that ambushed in the back of the line.

This slightly irregular arrangement of the line contributed to the score.

Left fielder Suzuki wanted to pass straight to home plate after getting the ball. But he looked at the running back, and chose to give up.

The baseball is passed to the shortstop Tokuda.

This choice didn't prevent the opponent from scoring, but at least it prevented Ishiwatari, who was equally fast, from continuing to advance from first base.

Two outs, one base. What's more, the score became 2-1, and Hayata took the lead again.

Now seems like a reasonable time to apply for a moratorium.

Lee Wonrang ran from home plate to the pitcher's mound, and the rest area also ran out of the bench player Ibaraki, who is usually in charge of the passing.

"Does the overseer have any instructions?"

The timeout was called by Li Yuanrang, but since Ibaraki ran over, perhaps the overseer would use the opportunity to convey some tactics.

"He just asked me to come up and hear what you guys have to say."

"For this reason, you should be the overseer of Yagi for a trip......

The more he came into contact with Yagi, the more Yabe felt that the overseer was different from what he had previously envisioned.

So it's not surprising to send players in this way and pretend to give orders.

"That ...... just now"

Li Yuanrang wanted to tell Yabe that the ball just now could not be regarded as a bad shot.

"If you can be beaten out like that, I don't have anything to say."

Before Li Yuanrang could finish speaking, Yabe himself preemptively expressed his opinion.

It seems that as a pitcher himself, Yabe is very satisfied with the quality of this ball.

"So the loss of points just now can only be regarded as an accident."

Li Yuanrang intends to appease his partner in this way. But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that in fact, maybe the person who needed to be appeased was himself who was in charge of the ball. Yabe didn't seem to be discouraged.

"And what about the next one? What to do? ”

The next one Yabe said is the third batter of the opponent who is about to enter the strike zone, the catcher Oya.

"I guess they're going to steal the base, but just ignore them."

Li Yuanrang turned his head to look at his opponent's rest area.

Ishiwatari, who had just hit the second hit, was now drinking a drink while listening to the supervisor make tactical arrangements.

In fact, Ishido is more famous for his mobility than for his striking.

Not only did he run fast, but he also had the right timing to steal the base.

If there is such a runner on first base and not trying to steal the base. Li Yuanrang didn't believe it.

But Li Yuanrang did not want to pay attention to this tactic of his opponent.

The reason is also very simple, now that it is two outs, and the hitter can end the attack of this half game.

And if you can't solve the hitter, once you get hit, Ishido himself is originally a speed-type player.

Now it's only at first base.

But if a hitter hits a hit slightly away from third base, he will have plenty of time to push one or two more bases.

Therefore, the impact of stealing the base on the outcome of the attack is not so obvious.

In addition, the third batter who is now hitting is originally a long-playing hitter.

If the baseball is hit by him, it will definitely not fly too close.

This reduces the impact of stealing on the final result.

Li Yuanrang felt that the other party's supervisor would not fail to understand these factors. But it is very likely that the order to steal the base will still be given.

The reason is nothing else, if it is just interfering with the pitcher's pitching rhythm.

Li Yuanrang covered his lips with a glove and conveyed his thoughts to Yabe.

Yabe nodded in agreement.

The meeting on the pitcher's mound ends. The players on both sides returned to their positions.

Li Yuanrang glanced to the right, but it happened to meet Shi Watari, a runner on first base.

This shocked him.

Could it be that the other party has seen through the deployment?

But after a few seconds, he remembered that the catcher was wearing a mask when he was defending.

Opponents can't see his eyes.
