[bunniefuu]

Thank you very much for a wonderful year.

I'm Lee Seung-yuop,
the new manager of the Bears.

Nice to meet you.

The Monsters will have the final game

with the enemy commander Lee Seung-yuop.

The old and new managers
will have a match.

AUTUMN, 2022

KOREA'S FIRST PROFESSIONAL TEAM

RETURN OF A TRADITIONALLY
POWERFUL TEAM

He pulls. It goes over shortstop.

HEO KYOUNG-MIN

6-TIME WINNER OF THE KOREAN SERIES

A timely hit!

First baserunner reaches third base

-and goes all the way home!
-Okay!

HISTORY DOESN'T CHANGE

He's safe on first base.

He swings. Left.

He swings. Left fielder.

He catches it!

Left fielder catches it again!

THE AUTUMN DNA IS COMING BACK

THE POWERFUL BEARS

A MONSTROUS TEAM RISES
TO FACE THE POWERFUL BEARS

THE ONE-OF-A-KIND 11TH TEAM

He swings and misses! Strikeout!

Yoo Hee-kwan didn't lose any points.

THE NEW AND RISING STRONG PLAYER

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

He pulls…

WINNING PERCENTAGE .700

It's Chi Seok-hoon.

He makes contact!
The hit goes to the center!

OUR AUTUMN

BEGINS NOW

Okay.

GOODBYE, LEE SEUNG-YUOP
THE MONSTERS ARE THE WINNERS

CK MONSTERS

No team has yet earned
the title of "strongest."

Who will be the strongest team?

A CLEAN SWEEP

SEOUL
JAMSIL BASEBALL STADIUM

I haven't played in Jamsil
for a long time.

I'm excited. I'm nervous today.

It's like a match
between the Bears and the Twins.

It feels like the Children's Day Series.

LIKE A CHILDREN'S DAY DERBY

I had my first
and my last winning matches in Jamsil.

Did you?

My first and my last pitching
were in Jamsil.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I'm nervous because it's the last game.

Today's the last one, right?

YOUR WINNING PERCENTAGE
IS ALREADY .700

DUE TO COLD WEATHER,
WE WON'T HAVE THE 30TH MATCH

YOUR LAST MATCH IS AGAINST THE BEARS

PARK YONG-TAEK: SINCE IT'S THE LAST MATCH,
I'LL WIN NO MATTER WHAT

JAMSIL TAEK WILL SHOW YOU!

JEONG SEONG-HOON:
YOU CAN DO THAT ONLY IF YOU PLAY

I want to play today,
but I don't think I can.

SINCE IT'S THE LAST GAME

I think you will.

It's between Yong-taek and me.

-One of us will play.
-Yes.

ONE OF THEM HAS TO BE A COACH…

Hey, Soo-chang.

-Can't you give signs?
-What?

Can't you give signs?

Why not? I can.

-You can, right?
-Yes. Like this.

FUMBLING

Why do you ask?

Why do you touch your left ear
with your right hand?

Isn't it like this?

He answers his phone like this.

THAT'S BIZARRE

LAUGHING

-Isn't it like this?
-Hello?

This is what you should never do.

-Is it?
-Yes.

I've never given signs.

LEARNING AFTER RETIREMENT…

Tickets are sold out.

How many tickets did we sell?

We sold 25,000 tickets.

-We sold 25,000?
-We sold 25,000?

Tickets are sold out today.

Selling out in Jamsil isn't easy.

MY HEART IS SWELLING ALREADY!

Chan-hui, what was the largest
number of spectators you had?

It wasn't even 100.

-Was 100 the largest?
-Yes.

He'll pee his pants today.

Did you see the Bears' lineup?

I thought it was the opening game for KBO.

I saw the Bears' lineup.

I thought it was too much.

Yes, it is too much.

IT'S TOO MUCH!

-I looked through it.
-Yes.

-There's Heo Kyoung-min.
-Yes.

Kang Seung-h*?

He played 134 games.

2ND STRING PLAYED 134 GAMES?

-Basically, he's first-string.
-He is.

Yes.

-I think he wants to win.
-Yes.

He's under a lot of pressure.

There's no pressure.

WHY IS THAT?

I'm sure he's under pressure.

WHY IS MANAGER LEE UNDER PRESSURE?

I have no resolution.

I…

We'll win.

We won't simply win though.

We'll win a called game.

We have our pride. We won't just win.

We'll have a called game.

PRESSURE CAME FROM HIS MOUTH

He trained
the second-string players too much.

So they haven't recovered yet.

We'll lend them our players.

THEY CAN BORROW OUR PLAYERS

They can borrow Shim Soo-chang anytime.

SHIM SOO-CHANG FOR RENT

Can we beat them?

If Yoo Hee-kwan and the pitchers go crazy.

The key is who is crazy.

THE KEY IS WHO IS CRAZY

You have to be crazy in a good way.

Yes.

THE KEY IS WHO IS CRAZY AND HOW

-Let's go and see.
-Okay.

LET'S CHECK WHO IS CRAZY!

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hey.
-Hello.

-Hello, sir.
-Hey.

MAKE SURE HE SEES US…

He'll prepare the lineup
after he sees you warm up.

-Okay.
-Let's warm up well.

-Seong-hoon, warm up hard.
-Yes, I will.

I'LL PLAY BY ALL MEANS!

ONE, TWO

MANAGER KIM, ARE YOU WATCHING?

WARMING UP IN FRONT OF HIM

Why are you warming up so hard?

SHALL WE WARM UP THERE?

You're different today.

I'm in good condition today.

Jeong Seong-hoon.

ENTHUSIASTIC

Hello, sir.

Dong-wook, everyone made his case.

-What?
-"I'm in good condition!"

MAKING THEIR CASE

Please throw me the ba*ls.

Dong-wook has good social skills.

HE HAS GREAT SOCIAL SKILLS!

I should learn from him.

He's determined to play today.

NOT INTERESTED

Yes. Go like that.

THROWING IS ALL HE THINKS ABOUT

-Okay.
-Thank you.

Tell Seong-hoon to come.

-Me?
-Yes.

-Don't you want to play?
-I do.

I WANT TO PLAY!

THEN COME HERE AND BAT!

HAPPY

IT'S STRANGE TO SEE SOMEONE SMILE
DURING EXTRA BATTING TRAINING

Seong-hoon is extremely
determined to play today.

I guess he wants to play.

I REALLY WANT TO PLAY!

-Okay.
-Thank you.

Bat like the last one.

Yes, sir.

WILL HE LET ME PLAY?

This is my first time.

RELOADING b*ll*ts RIGHT AWAY

Quickly.

HE CALLS YONG-TAEK AGAIN

"Quickly."

NO QUESTIONS ASKED

I'm in good condition today!

PLEASE PICK ME!

Yong-taek wants to play too.
You are rivals.

PICK YOUR BATTER
PARK YONG-TAEK 45

THINKING

You practiced, didn't you?

Yes, sir. You can tell, right?

Yes.

Practice works!

LAUGHING

TAKING A BREAK SNEAKILY

LET'S BAT!

PICK ME!

PLEASE

PICK

ME

OH?

Okay. Go.

OKAY! GO!

Pass.

I CAN PLAY, RIGHT?

I'm tired already.

PANTING…

How many did you do?

HE DIDN'T BAT ENOUGH TO BE TIRED…

Sir, throw me some ba*ls, please!

MY HEART IS SWELLING
TO SEE LEE DAE-h* PRACTICE!

You have to watch out for this.

-Pardon?
-You're leaning forward.

-Turn like this.
-I'll swing big, sir.

GOOD SHOT

Good.

THAT'S IT

All right.

All right.

-Watch out for that.
-Yes, sir.

Okay.

That was fast.

I don't have to practice a lot
because I can bat.

WHILE THEY'RE BUSY
HAVING AN AUDITION

GENERAL MANAGER JANG
IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE

Why isn't he coming?

How have you been?

I hear you're having fun.

No, I'm not.

KNOCKING

THE DOOR OPENS

Hello.

HE COMES IN

AT FIRST SIGHT

I KNEW HE WAS MY MAN

THEY JUST LAUGH

Jeez.

It was like breaking up with a girlfriend.

-You're back after a month.
-As an opponent.

Everything but the uniform changed.

You aren't on Instagram much these days.

I quit.

I QUIT IT

You used to love it though.

I flat-out quit it.

You're really amazing though.

He rarely makes a move like that.

But the only person

who can control these ragtag players

is Manager Kim Sung-keun.

You made an excellent choice.

-About today's game…
-Yes.

Heo Kyoung-min was in the lineup.

-He said he'd play.
-Pardon?

He said he'd play.

I didn't force him at all.

I asked him what he'd do.

He said he'd play if Hee-kwan was playing.

"Okay. You'll play."

The end.

-What's today's winning percentage?
-It's 100%.

-What?
-It's 100%.

-The Bears will win 100%?
-Yes.

This match may be a special event,

but we'll do our best with sincerity
in this baseball game.

We'll show you
a different side of baseball

played by the Bears today.

We're going to do our very best today.

You'll face fierce resistance.

From who?

FROM ME

GLARING

-May I sit down?
-Sit.

IT FELL DOWN!

GOODNESS

Wait.

What are you doing?

CLUMSY

The coach brought me a gift.

Why are you empty-handed?

FROZEN

UNFREEZE

-I just had an interview.
-Sit down.

I CAME FROM AN INTERVIEW…

INTIMIDATED…

Sir, you worked hard in Japan.

-What?
-Your hands are cold.

They're making me work harder here.

I know what you mean, sir.

-How is your health, sir?
-It's okay.

I SEE…

He's a scary manager.

I've never seen you so nervous.

I'm always polite
to senior baseball players.

He's a manager too.

HE'S MORE
THAN A SENIOR BASEBALL PLAYER

How is it going?

It's been a month.
The players are working hard.

They're a little tired. So they've been

taking it easy for five days.

We'll give you a player if you need one.

We don't need Shim Soo-chang, sir.

PRICK OF CONSCIENCE

Why not? He's good these days.

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, SIR

We practiced a lot, sir.

-You.
-Yes, sir.

I'm looking forward to seeing
you and Jin-man play.

I want your teams
to go to the Korean series.

Yes, I'll work hard, sir.

We'll play the winner.

WE'LL PLAY WITH THE WINNER!

Then I'll get ready for a revenge match
around this time

-next year.
-Yes.

Let's do our best.

-Yes, sir. I'll see you later.
-Okay.

BYE FOR NOW…

He won't take Shim Soo-chang.

SALES FAILED

IT'S TOO BAD…

He won't take him.

LET'S COME UP WITH THE LINEUP…

HEADACHE

ANALYSIS DATA ON THE BEARS

LEE SEUNG-YUOP…
HEO KYOUNG-MIN… CALLED GAME…

Can you call Jeong Seong-hoon over?

-Jeong Seong-hoon.
-Me? Am I the coach?

Oh, my gosh.

Yong-taek,
I think you're in the starting lineup.

What?

-He called me to the office.
-Go ahead.

GO QUICKLY

I'm not in the starting lineup.

TRUDGING

Hello, sir.

-Am I the coach?
-I brought sign ba*ls.

I knew you'd do this.

WE NEED TO MAKE MEMORIES AT LEAST…

How are your shoulders?

My shoulders? They're okay, sir.

-Are they?
-Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

WHY IS HE ASKING ABOUT MY SHOULDERS?

You go to third base.

Third base? Okay, sir.

3RD BASEMAN JEONG SEONG-HOON?

You're today's key point.

-Around third base? Okay.
-Yes.

If you do well, we win. If not, we lose.

Okay. Thank you. I'll do my best, sir.

SHALL I COME UP WITH A LINEUP?

All right.

CK MONSTERS

WHAT IS THE LINEUP
THAT WILL BEAT THE BEARS?

I'm third base.

-Third base?
-Yes.

That'll make things complicated.

Keun-woo is second.

2ND BASEMAN, 3RD BASEMAN

Then everyone will be playing today.

Soo-chang too.

-Yong-taek is playing.
-Everyone is playing.

-Soo-hyun will sit out.
-Soo-hyun is DH.

NO WAY…

THAT'D BE AWESOME

I've never been a DH.

Dae-h* is too young to be DH.

-He's too young.
-He's young here.

You're young enough to chew on stones.

-I am.
-Of course.

Are they here?

HE SHOWS UP WITH THE LINEUP

Today's game will be interesting.

It's as if we're playing
the Korean Series with the Bears.

IT'S LIKE THE KOREAN SERIES

-Jeong Keun-woo.
-Yes, sir.

-Choi Soo-hyun.
-Yes, sir.

-You're DH.
-Yes, sir.

BATTER 2 CHOI SOO-HYUN IS DH!

You're DH.

SOO-HYUN IS DH? THEN WHAT ABOUT ME?

SORRY

POOR YONG-TAEK…

I CAN'T WATCH…

-Lee Taek-keun.
-Yes, sir.

-Lee Dae-h*.
-Yes, sir.

-Jeong Seong-hoon.
-Yes, sir.

-Jeong Keun-woo.
-Yes, sir.

-Seo Dong-wook.
-Yes, sir.

-Park Chan-hui.
-Yes, sir.

-Chi Seok-hoon.
-Yes, sir.

IT'S COACH TAEK

Anyway, today,

from first to ninth,
we have to play tightly.

Players on the bench may have to play.

So always be on standby.

-Soo-chang, got it?
-Yes, sir.

Okay. Let's play hard.

-Yes, sir.
-Starting pitcher.

I forgot.

-Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Yes, sir.

Complete game.

YOU'RE AN ACE, SO CG!

EVERYONE ELSE IS HAPPY

OVERWHELMED
BY THE MANAGER'S FULL CONFIDENCE

-Okay?
-Yes, sir.

Here.

Take this.

THE COACH SHOULD TAKE THIS

Soo-hyun stole his DH position.

DH CHOI SOO-HYUN

What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

He said he was playing.

MY NAME ISN'T ON THE LIST…

Is Soo-hyun better than you?

Yong-taek, we're on the same level.

WE ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL

It's been fun.

LET'S NOT SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN…

It's been fun.

-Calm down. Sit down.
-Okay.

I have to pack.

LEAVING EARLY

My mom called just now

She asked where her ticket was.

-Is this a candid camera?
-No.

No. Soo-hyun's name was on number two.

Right. I looked in the back
and didn't see my name.

PEEKING

I saw "Park" on number eight.

"Am I the eighth batter?"

It was Chan-hui.

IT'S PARK CHAN-HUI…

SIGHING…

Wait.

I didn't film you doing a cheer.

Go ahead.

GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME!

UPSET

-I don't want to cheer.
-He's really upset.

-You have to.
-I really don't want to.

It is a time to remember for a lifetime.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you, teammates.

Today's the last match.

I want everyone to enjoy baseball today.

Let's play to win.

IT'S FUN WHEN WE WIN!

We'll do a cheer
and get ready for today's match.

Let's have fun. Here we go.

Let's go!

-CK Monsters!
-CK Monsters!

Okay. Let's go!

1 HOUR BEFORE THE GAME STARTS

A PRESS CONFERENCE IS HELD

SWARMING REPORTERS

We can teach

and do various things.

FLOODING QUESTIONS

When I first came here,

I didn't think I was here for a TV show.

We'll win and show you
why CK Monsters are strong.

DO WE NEED TO DO THIS?

YES, WE DO

THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
AS IF IT'S THE KOREAN SERIES

THE WAITING LINE IS ENDLESS

JAMSIL IS FULL OF PEOPLE

CK Monsters versus the Bears.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here.

-Hello.

This is the second match

Outfield and infield seats
were sold out within a minute.

Yes. I'm very grateful
that I can give commentary

of a baseball game in this stadium.

Yes.

We're going to play against the Bears

where Lee Seung-yuop is the new manager.

Yes. We've been winning.

We beat the independent league.

We beat the second-string players.

Now we're against
the first-string players.

The Bears managed by Lee Seung-yuop.

You can see that
there are several first-string players.

I'm looking forward to their play today.

-Let's look cool.
-Please walk up.

Face the spectators.

Don't go up too much.

NERVOUS
SHOUTING

BOWING TO THE FANS AFTER A LONG HIATUS

Why are there so many people?

THE CROWD SHOUTS AND CHEERS

It's like the Korean Series.

It's like playing the Korean Series.

GIANT'S PRIDE

It's really exciting.

ACTRESS OH NA-RA IS HERE TOO

-This is crazy.
-Why?

IT'S CRAZY…

Does this make sense?

Does this make sense?

Look at all the people.

I'm getting excited.

This is insane.

What's going on?

THIS TEAM IS SURPRISED TOO

This is the power of A Clean Sweep.

THIS IS THE POWER OF A CLEAN SWEEP!

WAVING FLAGS IN JAMSIL STADIUM

THE BEARS FANS ARE
EXCITED ABOUT THE GAME TOO

SLIGHTLY NERVOUS

Now they're lining up.

BOTH TEAMS LINE UP

Hey, come on.

Kyoung-min, what are you doing here?

I'm here to see you guys.

UNBELIEVABLE!
SCREAMING

THE TWO MANAGERS ARE ON SCREEN

Managers Kim Sung-keun and Lee Seung-yuop.

They had been a teacher and a student.

Now they're both managers
and having a match.

Manager Lee versus Manager Kim.

You can't see this
outside of A Clean Sweep.

-It's happening.
-Yes.

THEY'RE FACING EACH OTHER

They're pros, but it's still baseball,

so we'll win the match.

We'll play an overwhelming game.

Go easy on us.

PERFECT NARRATIVE
HOW WILL TODAY'S MATCH GO?

We'll win today's game wonderfully,

and finish the season.

Here we go.

Let's go!

-CK Monsters!
-CK Monsters!

LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS

This isn't a joke.

There are so many people.

Let's go!

It's the seventh game
after three wins and three losses.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Okay. One, two, three.

LET'S GO, BEARS!

CHEERING FOR BOTH TEAMS PASSIONATELY

-Is someone throwing the first pitch?
-Yes.

-Who is it?
-Let's see.

First pitch and first bat?

Who is it going to be?

Today's first pitcher and batter are
Manager Kim Sung-keun

and Manager Lee Seung-yuop.

SHOCKED

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING THIS

They revealed
the first pitcher and batter.

They're Manager Lee Seung-yuop

and Manager Kim Sung-keun.

Can I throw that far?

Hello.

HE'S PITCHING AFTER A 28-YEAR HIATUS

Manager Kim is walking toward Manager Lee.

It's rare to see the first batter
visiting the mound.

Why is he going up there?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

What is it?

-Do we need to say something?
-Don't worry.

Sir.

Don't hit me in the head.

Hello.

Well… Sir…

It looks like the managers

are going to say something.

You can never make
something like this happen in KBO.

Exactly.

Sir, you need to say something.

-You do it.
-Me?

You're the home team manager.

THE BEARS HAVE IT HARD ALREADY

-Shall I do it?
-Yes.

It's an honor to have a match
with CK Monsters today.

I'll be playing against Manager Kim

whom I respect.

We'll play a match
that won't disappoint anyone here.

CK Monsters and the Bears, let's go!

MONSTERS AND BEARS, LET'S GO!

Shall I say something?

Hello, I'm Kim Sung-keun.

MY HEART IS SWELLING!

I came back to Korea after five years.

I'm so happy to play baseball
in front of you like this.

Manager Lee and I talked about

doing the Korean Series next year
before the game.

THEY PROMISED TO PLAY
THE KOREAN SERIES NEXT YEAR

Thank you.

THANK YOU

-Next year.
-Play the Korean Series.

Next year.

I think he's getting a lesson
on making jokes.

I wonder how he'll throw.

-Please move aside.
-Hey.

HEY!

Don't throw it here.

SEUNG-HYUN, MOVE TO THE SIDE!

Seung-hyun, move to the side.

Yes.

FAR AWAY

What if he hits the manager?

What if Manager Lee hits Manager Kim?

Okay.

DOUBTFUL

HOW WILL MANAGER LEE THROW?

NICE PITCH

BAM

NICE

OUR MANAGER IS THE BEST

-Good luck, sir.
-Good luck.

Thank you.

Please give another round of applause

to the first batter and pitcher.

CK MONSTERS VS THE BEARS

The outfield and infield seats

of today's game
were sold out within a minute.

This match's starting pitcher

is Park Shin-zi.

If you're a fan of baseball,

you would've heard of his name
even if you aren't a Bears fan.

DRUMMING

-Bears!
-Bears!

CHEERING!

-Bears pitcher!
-Bears pitcher!

-Park Shin-zi!
-Park Shin-zi!

INTIMIDATED…

Their cheer is
like it's Major League Baseball.

Jeez, is it 40 people versus 15?

-Park Shin-zi!
-Park Shin-zi!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Park Shin-zi!
-Park Shin-zi!

We had great expectations
of him this year.

Except for his shaky control,
his pitching is very good.

The catcher is Jang Seung-hyun.

-He has played first-string matches a lot.
-Right.

In particular, Kim In-tae,
Kim Dae-han, and Yang Chan-yeol

have all played first-string matches.

Let's go!

They were all first-stringers
by the end of the season.

Look at the lineup.
They aren't second-string.

-They're first-string.
-Yes.

This lineup shows that
the players' goal is victory.

-Right.
-It's amazing.

Honestly, their players are too good.

NO WAY

You might think not
because you retired this year.

-But we…
-I say we are better than them.

They scare us.

-They're like us.
-This is no joke.

Soo-hyun is much better.

Don't be nervous.

-Do you see how nervous they are?
-Yes.

They can't look us in the eye.

DAE-h* BOOSTS THEIR CONFIDENCE

SUPER NERVOUS

-With batter one Jeong Keun-woo at bat,
-Let's go.

A Clean Sweep's 29th match will begin.

Let's go, devil!

Don't we have a cheering squad?

-Let's start with batter one!
-Come on!

LOOKING FOR
A CHEERING SQUAD

It's batter one Jeong Keun-woo!

OPEN YOUR EARS TO OUR CHEER!

UNFOLD

They're singing CK Monsters' song.

Awesome.

PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION
MAKES THEIR HEARTS SWELL

-Isn't it fun?
-Pardon?

-Isn't it fun?
-Yes.

TRYING TO SMILE

I hope the fans enjoy baseball
to the fullest.

-This is great.
-Yes.

CK MONSTERS
A CLEAN SWEEP

Clap and scream!

CLAPPING!

TOP OF THE 1ST INNING

After 217 days
since the first day of the show,

we're going to put an end to this journey.

Today is the day we put an end to it.

It's a low ball.

HEY!

FEELING NERVOUS

We're used to amateur umpires.

-Okay.
-They aren't pro umpires.

It's the perfect speed to hit, 140km/h.

I think 140km/h is better.

Dae-h* will make a hit.

MUST FINISH THE INNING
BEFORE DAE-h* BATS

Second pitch.

Second pitch. Outside.
It's not in the strike zone.

Two ba*ls.

Did it slip?

WHAT?

Keun-woo usually bats aggressively,

but today he's watching
the ball carefully.

Yes.

The players are playing this game
like it's the KBO.

It's important for him to get on base.

THE GOAL IS TO GET ON BASE

The third pitch is a foul.

JEEZ!

SO CLOSE

Keun-woo is disappointed.

TREMBLING…

-Okay.
-It's okay.

All right. Nice ball.

STAYING SERIOUS

It looks like Keun-woo expected a fastball

to hit the strike zone.

This is Shin-zi's strength.

That four-seam is thrown
from a high point.

So the ball is powerful.

It's really hard to make full contact.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-Jeong Keun-woo!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-Jeong Keun-woo!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Park Shin-zi!
-Park Shin-zi!

-Their cheers are heated.
-Yes.

BOTH TEAMS CHEER WILDLY

The fans are cheering hard.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 BEARS

The ground ball goes to the pitcher.

Park Shin-zi catches it
and throws it to first base.

Jeong Keun-woo is out on first base.

NO, IT CAN'T BE

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DAD?

GOOD JOB, PARK SHIN-ZI!

BAD LUCK FROM THE START…

This isn't good.

JEONG KEUN-WOO…

NICE, THIS IS IT

-What's it like?
-A fastball. It's a little off.

-A little off?
-It must be nice to hit.

Getting on base is important
for the Monsters.

Now, batter two,
DH Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

SHOUTING

-Batter two!
-Batter two!

-Choi Soo-hyun!
-Choi Soo-hyun!

Choi Soo-hyun, make a hit!

IT'S OH NA-RA AGAIN

Choi Soo-hyun, make a hit!

I could hear the fans shouting,
"Choi Soo-hyun!"

I was just in awe.

TOUCHED TO THE MAX

I was just amazed. It was like a dream.

-Choi Soo-hyun!
-Choi Soo-hyun!

Did you remember to wear a diaper?
Choi Soo-hyun.

What if he pees his pants?

He plays for Yeoncheon Miracle.

EVERYONE IS PAYING ATTENTION
TO SOO-HYUN

He's pretty good at batting.

Because he's left-handed.

When he practices…

Today he needs to make his name known

when he's at bat
in front of so many spectators.

-Choi Soo-hyun!
-Choi Soo-hyun!

He holds back on the ball.

-Okay.
-Good.

YES, BE CALM

Strike!

NERVOUS…

-Okay.
-Outside. It's high.

He watches Park Shin-zi's ball calmly.

Let's get on base!

Third pitch is too close to the batter.

THE COUNT IS UNFAVORABLE
TO THE BEARS

What we need to do now

is to get on base
and get the start on them.

Lee Taek-keun, Lee Dae-h*,
and Jeong Seong-hoon are all great.

-Right.
-We should help so they can make hits.

Yes.

It's important to get on base
and have runners in scoring positions.

Soo-hyun, you must get on base.

Think of batter four.

You must get on base.

-Low one!
-Show them.

This pitch is important.
Pitcher Park Shin-zi.

A fastball comes in low.

HE GETS ON BASE!

SOO-HYUN, I BELIEVED IN YOU!

Good.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING!

After one out,
Soo-hyun gets on base on ba*ls.

IMMENSELY ANNOYED

One out. A runner on first base.

Hit a big one.

Here he is.

Lee Taek-keun is back
in Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

He said he wanted
to hit a home run in Jamsil.

Right.

When he practiced, he pushed every hit.

Why did he do that?

-He'll try to make a hit by all means.
-Right.

Because Lee Dae-h* is after him.

If Taek-keun gets on base,

there's a chance for RBIs.

Soo-hyun is fast.

Seung-hyun, he's fast.

Does he steal base
from the first pitch or later?

He runs when he can.

100 PERCENT SURE!

GIVING SIGNS

Let's go.

RELAYING SIGNS

CHECKED

-Lee Taek-keun!
-Lee Taek-keun!

-Go!
-Go!

-Lee Taek-keun!
-Lee Taek-keun!

-Hey!
-Checking first base.

Choi Soo-hyun returns quickly.

THAT'S IT!

Good timing.

He has to think about

keeping the runner on base

and inducing an infield ground ball
to make a double play.

-Go more!
-Go!

VROOM

More!

He throws a high ball.

It means he's aware of the fact
that Soo-hyun can steal a base.

What's great about this is that

Kang Seung-h* is close to the base,
so there's

a big space between the first and second.

He can make a hit if he pushes.

Manager Kim is giving signs right away.

Make runners get on base
before the fourth hitter.

He's getting signs from Park Yong-taek.

DELIVERING STRATEGY

I wonder what will happen.

WILL HE BE ABLE
TO CARRY OUT THE PLAN?

NERVOUS

The runner starts to run.

The batter makes contact.

IT WORKS

NO!

It skips off the bat.
Foul toward first base.

NO…

SIGHING…

-Let's go!
-Come on!

Between first and second.

That way is nice.

Our players are confident.

When they throw a ball, we don't wait.

Right.

The Monsters are swinging their bats

whenever the ball hits the strike zone.

We just need to put the runners
in scoring positions.

One out. A runner on first base.

Close to the hitter. It's a strike.

IT'S IN?

MAKING A FUSS

Well done.

NICE EYE

Nice ball!

SHRUGGING

Lee Taek-keun is upset about the call.

A FIERCE BATTLE IS UNAVOIDABLE

A ball that goes in
close to the hitter is very powerful.

Right.

It's a shame that was a strike.

The count isn't favorable to us.

It's one and two.

Park Shin-zi needs
to show his deciding pitch.

-Let's go, Shin-zi!
-Shin-zi!

-All right.
-Let's go.

It goes up high.

From a favorable count,
now it's two and two.

If another ball misses the strike zone,

if it becomes a full count,
the pitcher will be in trouble.

Of course.
And he'll be reminded of Lee Dae-h*.

Hey, do you know who is up next?

Dae-h*!

After Lee Taek-keun is Lee Dae-h*.

He looks nervous.

HE HITS!

-He hits.
-It's a good course.

PLEASE MISS IT!

CATCH IT!

Okay!

-Two outs.
-Left fielder calls it.

He moves and catches it.

Kim In-tae catches it. Two outs.

SIGHING

Okay.

IN-TAE, NICE PLAY!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

The stadium is getting loud.

Finally,
the fans will get to see Lee Dae-h*.

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

After he retired, we thought

we wouldn't be able
to see him play anymore.

His fans can see him again
on A Clean Sweep.

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

JEEZ…

IS IT YOU, DAE-h*?

The Cleanup Hitter of Joseon.

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

Now he's the cleanup hitter
of the Monsters.

-He's so overwhelming.
-He's amazing.

He deserves
to be the Cleanup Hitter of Joseon.

He makes a hit when there's a crowd.

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

Dae-h* isn't a retired player.

-Jeez.
-Dae-h* isn't retired.

It's cheating.

It's cheating.

MOVING IN PERFECT ORDER

-Dae-h*!
-Fourth hitter Lee Dae-h* is at bat.

Fans are shouting his name.

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

Because Lee Dae-h*
played in Japan last season,

Park Shin-zi must be feeling
a lot of pressure.

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

The first pitch bounces.

IT'S HARD TO IGNORE
LEE DAE-h*'S AURA

-He's very nervous.
-He is.

He's intimidated.

Do your thing!

You can do it!

-Do it!
-Face him!

Let him hit!

KANG SEUNG-h*: LET HIM HIT!

-Strike!
-It comes in.

NO, IT ISN'T

Hey, Dae-h*!

HEY, DAE-h*, WHAT'S WRONG?

Dae-h* needs to do that.

HEY, SEUNG-YUOP…

-Dae-h*!
-Lotte's Lee Dae-h*.

His song is playing.

-Dae-h*!
-One ball, one strike.

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

It's a foul. The count is one and two.

SO CLOSE

He's got a good swing today.

I want him to hit a home run.

-Shin-zi!
-Let's go!

The ball bounces.

-The ball bounces.
-He started to run.

To first base…

NO!

GET HIM!

-The ball bounces.
-He started to run.

He throws it to first base!

He throws it to first base!

CRASH

IT'S OKAY!

Good job.

Jang Seung-hyun threw it quickly.

Soo-hyun is doing well
by trying to steal base aggressively.

Yes.

-Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine.

He could've run to third.

DEEP SIGH

Shin-zi, Manager Lee doesn't look happy!

JU-WON: MANAGER LEE
DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY!

Lee Dae-h*'s best ability
is making short hits

regardless of the count.

-He's the best.
-Right.

Lee Dae-h* had been
the heart of the Giants.

-Home run!
-Home run!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Home run!
-Home run!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Home run!
-Home run!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

Two outs. A runner is on first.

-How will this end?
-Lee Dae-h*!

MONSTERS 0 : 0 BEARS

WITH ONE BALL

THERE IS NO NEXT TIME

HE HITS!

Go!

He hit! It goes to the left!

Go!

THIS IS CRAZY!

-Run!
-Go!

-Go!
-Run!

-Run!
-Run!

MAKING A DASH!

He misses it!

-Go!
-Run!

Run!

RUN!

-Go!
-Run!

-Home!
-He goes to second and to third…

HE THROWS!

-Home!
-He runs all the way to home base.

He scores the first point

WE'RE THE BEST!

It's Lee Dae-h*'s timely hit!

He's the Cleanup Hitter of Joseon,
Lee Dae-h*!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

DAE-h* RIPPED IT!

HAPPY

CLENCHING HIS TEETH…

NO WAY…

The Monsters score before the Bears do.

THE PERFECT FIRST POINT!

SERIOUS

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Lee Dae-h*!

Lee Dae-h*'s attitude
when he bats is amazing.

First baserunner ran aggressively,

and third base coach Park Yong-taek
made a smart decision.

They were perfect.

CK Monsters scored first.

The score is one to zero.

-Yes!
-Great.

-Nice!
-This is it!

You did a great job.

RETURNING IN GLORY

Hey, you never know!

You never know.

Jeez, it's…

TAKEN ABACK

Now it's batter five Jeong Seong-hoon.

I'm sure you feel the same.

-We're happy to have scored first.
-Yes.

If we brought second baserunner home,

-it'd be amazing.
-Of course.

We should have a closeup shot
of Manager Lee's face.

-Nice ball!
-It's okay!

Good ball!

He looks very nervous.

ANOTHER HIT WILL ALLOW ANOTHER POINT

The first pitch is a ball.

All right, Shin-zi. Let's go!

-Shin-zi!
-You can do it!

-Let's go!
-Let's go, Shin-zi!

The Monsters
have to score one point at a time.

We need to make a big inning.

The second pitch is an outside ball.

Breaking ba*ls usually result in ba*ls.

These batters are experienced,
so they won't bat.

-Of course not.
-No.

If he throws a breaking ball

to make a strike, Seong-hoon will hit it.

The enemy general
Lee Seung-yuop looks unhappy.

MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP
LOOKS UNHAPPY

It's because
they're playing defense for too long.

-There are too many ba*ls.
-Yes.

That's not good baseball.

-What if we win by a called game?
-Shin-zi, thanks!

I'll cry if we win.

I'm serious.

Let's win and sob.

Shall we?

-Seong-hoon, one more hit.
-Do it

ANOTHER HIT!

He hits the third pitch.
It goes center-left.

IT'S GONE!

-Come on!
-It's gone!

-It's gone.
-It went over. Go.

-Go!
-It's gone.

ANXIOUS

PLEASE CATCH IT

It goes center-left.

WHAT?

It goes center-left.

Left fielder catches it
on the warning track.

SO CLOSE!

What was that?

WE'RE SAFE

CALM DOWN, MY HEART

RELIEVED…

CK Monsters scored
the first point of the game.

-Why didn't it go over?
-Nice batting.

-Wasn't it a home run?
-I got goosebumps.

-Nice!
-I thought it was.

WELL DONE

LAUGHING

First point!

AMAZING

Dae-h* is so reliable.

Seong-hoon…

It would've been a home run elsewhere.

In Songdo,
it would've gone over the fence.

That was so close.

FURIOUS FOR SOME REASON

The Bears players are surprised.

It would've been a home run in Songdo.

REGRETTABLE

Today's starting pitcher of CK Monsters

is Yoo Hee-kwan.

BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
MONSTERS 1: 0 BEARS

I'm getting goosebumps.

His last pitching in Jamsil
as a starting pitcher

was on October 3, 2021.

After 431 days, Yoo Hee-kwan
is on the mound again

as a starting pitcher in Jamsil Stadium.

Hee-kwan said this on the field today.

"I can't believe I can stand here again."

"And pitch." He said that.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
I CAN STAND HERE AGAIN…

HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS LAST TIME

The fans will remember all the memories

they had with Yoo Hee-kwan.

To think that this will be the last time

to call myself a Bears player,

today feels like a sad and upsetting day.

SAYING GOODBYE TO THE MOUND
HE HAD GROWN ATTACHED TO

NOW HE'S ON THE MOUND AGAIN
WEARING A DIFFERENT UNIFORM

THE BEARS FANS WELCOME HIM
WITH A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE

MIXED FEELINGS

THE CROWD'S CHEER FILLS THE STADIUM

I can show many of the Bears fans my play.

I'll do my best on the mound.

I'LL DO MY BEST TODAY

Batter one Lee Yu-chan is at bat.

Batter one!

Lee Yu-chan is a good batter.

He's the future of Korean baseball.

He's able to steal a base,
so if he gets on base,

-he'll give us a headache.
-Right.

Let's go!

LEE YU-CHAN
WILL WRITE THE BEARS' HISTORY

Let's go!

YOO HEE-KWAN IS THE BEARS' HISTORY

STRIKE

He throws a strike.

CENTER, PLEASE!

You have to get on base!

LET'S KEEP PUSHING THEM

If Yoo Hee-kwan holds out until the fifth

and becomes the winning pitcher,

-it'd be his tenth win.
-Tenth win.

IT'D BE HIS 10TH WIN

I wonder what he'll throw.

It's an outside ground ball.

It's a ground ball.

Second baseman catches it. To first.

He's out on first base.

IT'S EASY

SCREAMING!

Nice!

AS EXPECTED OF A FORMER BEARS PLAYER!

Why is he here?

Now, batter two Heo Kyoung-min is at bat.

BATTER 2 HEO KYOUNG-MIN

The Monsters are surprised

because Heo Kyoung-min
isn't just a player of the Bears,

but he's also a member
of the national team.

Letting him play is cheating.

IT'S CHEATING!

FURIOUS

HEO KYOUNG-MIN IS THE WORST ENEMY

First pitch.

Kyoung-min kept saying
a few days before the match

that he was here for Hee-kwan.

HEO KYOUNG-MIN IS HERE
FOR YOO HEE-KWAN

Hee-kwan's ERA is very low
in A Clean Sweep.

So we, the junior players,
are here to get him.

WE'RE HERE TO GET HIM

We couldn't go against each other
when we were on the same team.

I'll focus more to crush Kyoung-min today.

YESTERDAY'S COLLEAGUE
SHOWED UP AS AN ENEMY

-Kyoung-min!
-Let's go!

-Go!
-Kyoung-min!

Go!

-Heo Kyoung-min!
-Heo Kyoung-min!

Let's go!

-Heo Kyoung-min!
-Heo Kyoung-min!

Let's go!

-Heo Kyoung-min!
-Heo Kyoung-min!

A slow breaking ball. It's a strike.

A slow breaking ball.

HE KNEW IT WAS COMING

This is it!

You can't measure the speed!

A slow breaking ball. It's a strike.

This is it!

He's completely frozen.

What was the speed?

The speed didn't show up.

WE HAVE YOO HEE-KWAN, BUT YOU DON'T!

You can't measure the speed!

That was the slowest pitch ever.

Heo Kyoung-min walked away
from the batter's box.

Right.

"I'm here to crush Yoo Hee-kwan."

Hee-kwan has the same idea.

He's crushed by his curve.

AM I BEING CRUSHED?

-One more!
-Another one!

Throw one close to him.

The first pitch was a strike.

Who will be the winner?

HE HITS!

He pulls!

It goes over shortstop.

SCREAMING

RUNNING AT FULL SPEED

GETTING ON 1ST BASE!

CLAPPING

WE'RE PRO PLAYERS!

HIS PRIDE IS CRUSHED…

You're good.

This is why I really like Heo Kyoung-min.

Out of the blue?

He's a high-level player.

Regardless of the pitcher, he makes a hit.

An amazing hit.

The Bears placed a runner on base.

Now it's Kim Dae-han.

He's the first player in fifteen years

that the Bears scouted
during the first round of drafts.

He's good too, right?

-He's strong.
-He looks strong.

He had two steals
and four home runs in the KBO.

IF HEO KYOUNG-MIN COMES IN,
THE SCORE WILL BE TIED

Hit it!

-Kim Dae-han!
-Kim Dae-han!

HE HITS!

-Batter three Kim Dae-han.
-He catches it!

-Jeong Seong-hoon! That's it!
-From second to first!

2 OUTS

-Double!
-Go!

DOUBLE! WHAT?

-He catches it! From second to first!
-Jeong Seong-hoon! That's it!

He's safe on first base.

CLAPPING

IT'S A SHAME

Jeong Seong-hoon caught the lead runner
with great defense.

Did you see the handling in third base?

It could've been a double play.

But Dae-han is a very fast runner.

Right.

Look at this. It was a difficult bounce.

The hit was really fast.

HE WAS SAFE BECAUSE HE RAN FAST

He's fast. Jeez, you're fast.

2 OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST

-He's fast.
-He is.

Because he's young, he can run here.

Batter four Kim Min-hyeok is at bat.

First baserunner is very fast.

NODDING

-Check him twice.
-Yes, sir.

SIGNALLING A CHECK

He's safe on first base.

That check was very quick.

Hee-kwan is extremely focused today.

SO CLOSE

1ST BASERUNNER MOVES AWAY
FROM BASE AGAIN

He checks the runner.

He keeps first baserunner on base.

Dae-han is trouble
when he's a runner on base.

Kim Min-hyeok is worse.

When he hit a home run,
he made his presence

-as the fourth hitter.
-Yes.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 BEARS

HE HITS!

It goes past the pitcher
and becomes a hit.

SHOUTING WITH JOY!

To second base. He runs to third base.

-Go!
-Third!

He slides into third base.

Nice!

-He's a good batter.
-He's fast.

Fourth hitter Kim Min-hyeok makes a hit.

-Kim Min-hyeok!
-Kim Min-hyeok!

-Kim Min-hyeok!
-Kim Min-hyeok!

-Batter five.
-He makes good contacts.

-Yes.
-It was a powerful hit.

Because it went past Hee-kwan,

I thought he'd catch it.

But it went past the glove.

-I think he ran really fast.
-Yes.

SWIFTLY REACHED 3RD BASE

Now there are two runners.

Runners are on third and first.

Now the problem is Kim In-tae.

Basically, he's a first-string player.

-He's a first-string.
-Yes.

-He's good.
-No, he's not.

He hit a home run when I pitched.

-Hee-kwan will have it hard today.
-It won't be easy.

The Bears' runner
could make the score a tie

if there's a hit.

He swings and misses.

STRIKE

JEEZ!

HERE COMES A STRATEGY

RELAYING SIGNS

1ST AND 3RD BASERUNNERS
MOVE AWAY FROM BASE

A DOUBLE STEAL?

Don't run beforehand.

Go when he's about to throw.

Pitcher, cut.

DO WE HAVE A SIGN FOR A CUTTER?

-Do we have a sign for it?
-Yes, we do.

NOD
THEN GO AHEAD

I'll relay the signs.

CAREFUL OF THE STEAL
KEEP THE RUNNERS IN CHECK

HE GLANCES

DONE CHECKING THE RUNNERS

Hee-kwan nodded
as if he understood something.

NERVOUS

Runners on first and third.

It's an inside pitch! Strike!

Nice.

GOOD

-He pitched with full force.
-Right.

Hee-kwan sometimes does that.

He sometimes has
this sudden burst of adrenaline.

HEE-KWAN DIDN'T GIVE THEM
A CHANCE TO STEAL

Hee-kwan's job here is
to pitch a strikeout.

Yoo Hee-kwan needs one more out.

FIRST BASERUNNER
IS LEADING OFF ONCE AGAIN

HE'S MOVING!

WHAT? HE'S RUNNING?

ATTEMPTS A DELAYED STEAL!

First baserunner advances
to second base safely.

-What?
-He's stealing again!

FOCUS ON CHAN-HUI

HE TOSSES THE BALL AWAY?

He shouldn't be tossing the ball!

Come home!

Home!

Get the ball!

Pick up the ball!

Home!

Come home!

He's running, hurry!

He shouldn't be tossing the ball!

What just happened?

With Park Chan-hui tossing the ball away…

2ND BASERUNNER GOES FOR HOME TOO!

-Home!
-Hey! Go pick it up!

Come home!

Slide home!

PLEASE…

Home!

Slide home!

-Home!
-Two runners!

-Home!
-Two runners!

The second one is coming home!

But he's out on home base!

What just happened?

I have no idea.

-Wasn't it timeout?
-No.

The runner was running,
so timeout isn't possible.

I think Park Chan-hui tossed the ball
to get it changed.

After this, he asked for a timeout
without thinking.

He just naturally tossed the ball back.

Park Chan-hui never played
this type of game before.

TIMEOUT IS NOT ALLOWED
WHEN THE BALL IS IN PLAY

With that, they allowed a run.

They didn't call a timeout.

Umpire didn't call timeout either.

Of course it's not a timeout.

-Nice!
-Good job!

WE DID WELL, NICE PLAY!

THE SCORE IS EVEN

I asked for…

The ball was in play!

KEUN-WOO

They don't allow timeouts
when it's in play.

TIMEOUT AREN'T ALLOWED IN PLAY!

It was in play!

What was that, Chan-hui?

Is Kim Sung-keun
going to request an appeal?

Did you not call timeout?

The runner went for a delayed steal,

but he didn't check and tossed the ball.

He's going back in.

DARN IT…

I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

HE PATS HIM

-It's okay!
-We can score another run!

-We can do this again!
-Come on!

Chan-hui, always check for the runners.

Yes, sir.

DARN IT…

THIS IS k*lling HIM…

Bygones are bygones.

-We can restart.
-Yes, sir.

Don't worry about it, okay?

-I called timeout.
-You couldn't see him anyway.

HE'S COMFORTING HIM

-He wasn't in the angle.
-I know.

I felt terrible.

PARK CHAN-HUI
MADE AN UNFORGIVABLE ERROR

They allowed a run that should not have.

Indeed.

SUCH A BIG CROWD MADE HIM NERVOUS
AND LED TO AN ERROR

-He's an amateur player.
-Right.

So I'm sure he feels intimidated
by the large crowd.

Others are used to it, but he's not.

That's right.

The score quickly becomes even
after an absurd run.

MONSTERS 1 : 1 BEARS

Why did he do that?

WHY DID HE DO THAT?

I've never seen this happen.

Same here.

What was that?

WHAT WAS THAT?

I've never seen this before.

Today…

Yun Jun-h* is in the seats,
watching the game.

The Monsters lost the momentum
in a blink of an eye.

The final three hitters
must make this happen.

It's true that the Monsters

-have strong final hitters.
-Right.

Kim Moon-h* is in the box.

He makes contact! It fouls into the right.

Gosh, that was so lame.

CHAN-HUI'S HEAD IS FILLED
WITH THE MISTAKE HE MADE

All right. I see the timing.

-Kim Moon-h*'s batting looks great.
-Right.

-Kim Moon-h*!
-Kim Moon-h*!

-Kim Moon-h*!
-Kim Moon-h*!

-Kim Moon-h*!
-Kim Moon-h*!

He pulls in and hits it!

He pulls in and hits it! Second baseman!

Second baseman!

He throws it to first
and gets the first out.

GREAT DEFENSE

So close.

I thought the ball was
going to roll out and live.

But I overlooked the fact that
these players are pros.

AN IMPECCABLE DEFENSE
FROM A PRO PLAYER

Next up is Seo Dong-wook,
the seventh hitter.

Do you see his bat?

Do you know whose bat it is?

-No.
-It's Lee Dae-h*'s.

He said when he held that bat,
it was like Harry Potter finding his wand.

He loves the grip of the bat.

-So it's a magical bat.
-Yes.

During practice, Seo Dong-wook's batting
looked great today.

It was the best.

He hits the first pitch!

First pitch is a strike, nice.

NICE?

NEVER MIND…

He hits the first pitch!

A hit to the right!

YOU'RE THE BEST, DAD!

His practice didn't betray
Dong-wook's trust!

-Seo Dong-wook!
-Seo Dong-wook!

It's okay!

Let's go!

It's fine!

MODERATED CLAPS

That was a difficult one to push out.

DAEHO'S MAGIC SPELL
WAS CAST ON THE BAT

A runner on first with an out.

-Seo Dong-wook!
-Seo Dong-wook!

Next up is Park Chan-hui.

A CHANCE TO MAKE UP FOR HIS ERROR

Let's do it, Chan-hui!

When we were younger,
we made more errors than him.

-Of course.
-I hope that

Park Chan-hui
could encourage himself from this.

-He can prove himself in the box.
-That's right.

GOOD LUCK, CHAN-HUI!

-Park Chan-hui!
-Park Chan-hui!

With good results in the box,
he'll forget his error.

That's right.

The first pitch is a strike.

He's frozen right now.

He totally is.

-Park Chan-hui!
-Park Chan-hui!

I'm sure he can't shake off
the error from earlier right now.

He needs to prove himself here.

-Right.
-Yes.

-Park Chan-hui!
-Park Chan-hui!

A curveball is in the zone.

That was in.

DARN IT, I MISSED IT

Crush him, Chan-hui!

Don't be intimidated!

Let's go, Chan-hui!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

Park Chan-hui!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

The count is two strikes.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

He pulls in and hits it!

But this ball…

2 OUTS

IS IT A DOUBLE PLAY?

HE SPRINTS

…goes to second and to first!

2 OUTS

Out on first base!

3 OUTS

A 6-4-3 double play.

MAN…

CHAN-HUI…

-Yes!
-Nice!

THE BEARS HAVE THE MOMENTUM
WITH A DOUBLE PLAY

Seo Dong-wook made a hit
in a one-out situation.

But with Chan-hui being grounded
into a double play, the inning ends.

Three outs. The game continues to second.

What do we do with him?

-Chan-hui.
-Yes, sir.

Don't lose your confidence.

-It's okay.
-It's fine, we can take the lead back.

It was only one mistake.

Errors are fine, just stay confident.

The momentum…

FRUSTRATED

CRACKING UP

Who's this guy next to me
commentating baseball with me?

WHY IS SUN-WOO DOING THIS?

Manager Kim, did you watch the show?

Yes.

So you have it all figured out
since you've watched it?

SEMI-RESPECTFUL TO MANAGER KIM

Figured out? We have a game
with the Bears on the 20th.

Right.

I'm going to make you pitch that day.

DONE FIGURING OUT

HE GOT CAUGHT TRYING TO GREET HIM

I'm serious.

You can throw, and I can commentate.

You should be on the mound.

Watching the game so far,

they might end up
blaming everything on me.

The game is just too close.

If I go down there
and become the losing pitcher,

it'll be big trouble.

The game moves onto the bottom
of the second with the Bears on offense.

The team and the players' spirits
were very down.

So I thought I should pitch better.

YOO HEE-KWAN, THE ACE

-In-tae, you saw the pitch, right?
-Yes, sir.

It's easy.

It's hard to hit.
The pitch drops toward the end.

He won 100 games as a pitcher.

-Right.
-This is easy, let's go!

-Let's go!
-Come on!

He won 100 games for a reason.

THE ACE BECOMES STRONG
AMIDST A CRISIS

First up is Kim In-tae, the fifth hitter.

A slow curve. It's a strike.

Good ball!

AS EXPECTED FROM A 100-WIN PITCHER…

You have to choose.

You either swing for the fast inside pitch

or an outside sinker.

It's an outside pitch!
It's now two strikes.

Hey!

You see.

When you let your guard down,
your stance becomes like that.

Two strikes.
A favorable count for Hee-kwan.

It's an inside pitch!

It's an inside pitch!

And this ball bounces into center field.

Hey!

SHAKES HIS HEAD

First hitter advances.

This is why he's on the main team.

The ball slightly came in,

but he managed to hit it.

Kim In-tae, a pull hitter,
is very impressive.

He pulled in and hit it
when he had two strikes.

We just saw a taste of how good
main team professionals are.

-Nice batting.
-Thank you, sir.

SWING AND FLY THE BALL

Southpaws don't have a strong final pitch.

His pitches are getting hit today.

I think we have to warm up soon.

I bet Hee-kwan will get crushed.

The air changes in the field.

The pitcher must focus.

Next up is batter six, Kang Seung-h*.

This season…

Actually, he's basically on the main team.

He played 134 games on the main team.

Player Jeong Yong-geom…

Wait, player?

Player Jeong Yong-geom…

-Wait, player?
-I'm not.

You don't need to explain.

-Just say we're facing the main team.
-You're right.

This is going to air
next February or March.

-Right.
-So when the KBO season starts,

this game can be Manager Lee's first loss.

-You're right!
-Yes.

He's facing Kang Seung-h*,
who hit more than

ten home runs last season.

The first pitch is outside and low.

He watches the low pitch.

GOOD EYE

Inside pitches closer to the center
should be against Kang Seung-h*.

He's the type of hitter who could hit
a line-drive homer against it.

Hee-kwan should avoid it by any means.

Three ba*ls!

TUTTING

HIS LIPS ARE TREMBLING

Hee-kwan is playing differently
than usual.

He doesn't pitch into the zone easily.

A runner on first with no outs.

I MUST PITCH A STRIKE NOW

HE HITS!

An outside pitch becomes a ground ball!

Third base fields it!

Second base is out and to first base!

PLEASE

HE SPRINTS

Third base fields it!
Second base is out and to first base!

1 OUT

He's out on first base!

YOU DID IT! MONSTERS!

-It's a double!
-Double play!

YOU DID IT, GUYS

All the runners are gone from the bases!

HE SIGHS

SITTING DOWN

A very good hit.

To second,
and Keun-woo throws it to first.

Lee Dae-h* with the catch.
A perfect double play.

-Third baseman is good.
-He's great.

HE COMPLIMENTS 3RD BASE

What a reliable third baseman,
Jeong Seong-hoon.

Seong-hoon is so good.

He's a genius.

COMPLIMENTING HIM LIKE A ROBOT

Park Shin-zi ended the inning
with a double too.

-And we also got a double.
-That's right.

This is called payback.

Next up is the seventh hitter,
Yang Chan-yeol.

He asks for another outside pitch.

An outside pitch.

He makes contact.

It goes to the left.

Left fielder Kim Moon-h*
catches this ball!

Nice!

Although Hee-kwan allowed
the first hitter to advance,

he takes care of the inning
with a double play and a fly.

LET'S SEE…

Coach Jung.

Tell Shin-zi to throw a strike
on his first pitch.

Let's get started!

Come on!

Focus on defense!

Focus!

This is now the third inning.

The final game of the season
for the Monsters.

First up is Chi Seok-hoon.

Seok-hoon!

Pitch a strike from the first hitter!

Tell Shin-zi to throw a strike
on his first pitch.

FIRST PITCH: STRIKE

It's out of the zone.

-Shin-zi!
-Come on!

HIS CONTROL IS…

-Let's do this, Shin-zi!
-You got this!

SHIN-ZI'S CONTROL IS STILL WEAK

He's out of it now, Seung-hyun!

Another pitch out of the zone
that drops low.

It's out of the zone once again!
Three ba*ls!

Three ba*ls?

WORRIED, ANXIOUS

You pitched more ba*ls than us!

Seok-hoon, smile!

WON-SAM IS ELATED

Smile for them!

SUPER NERVOUS
HE CAN'T LAUGH

It's out of the zone again!

The first hitter gets a walk.

MAN…

…NO SMILE ON HIS FACE

Our comeback has finally started!

Why is he running like that?

What's wrong with his arms?

BECAUSE I'M A FAIRY

SMILING FAIRY

-Good work, sir.
-Hey, good work.

The first hitter advances.

The next hitter is the Monsters'
leadoff hitter, Jeong Keun-woo.

BEGINS HIS PLAN

AS SOON AS THERE'S A RUNNER,
THE PLAN COMMENCES

He goes for a bunt. He pulls his bat out.

HURRIEDLY MOVES AROUND
THANKS TO A SURPRISE BUNT

Jeong Keun-woo
manages to hold back his swing.

The fact that his pitches are higher
means he's having trouble with control.

The Bears may allow a hit
trying to pitch a strike.

I MUST PITCH A STRIKE

Send the ball away!

Take advantage of his weakness.

AND I'M GOING FOR A STRIKE

HE HITS!

The pitch drops!

There you go.

In the front!

-It's a fly ball.
-In the front!

The ball doesn't go deep.

Center fielder catches it.

1 OUT

DARN…

-Chan-hui, chin up.
-Yes, sir.

A runner on first with an out.

And next up is the second hitter,
Choi Soo-hyun.

He advanced with a walk
in his first appearance.

That's right.

On days like today,
Soo-hyun needs to make a hit.

Good luck. Make sure you do well.

Go for the low pitches!

-A low pitch.
-That was a change-up.

-Nice!
-Good job.

-Good eye!
-Nice job holding back.

Park Shin-zi is known for his change-ups.

That was great.

-Choi Soo-hyun!
-Choi Soo-hyun!

-Give us a hit!
-Give us a hit!

-Choi Soo-hyun!
-Choi Soo-hyun!

All the fans in Jamsil Baseball Stadium

are cheering for Choi Soo-hyun.

PLEASE HIT IT FOR US, SOO-HYUN!

-Choi Soo-hyun!
-Choi Soo-hyun!

HE HITS!

This is it.

-Go!
-Come on!

He lightly hits the second pitch.

The ball travels to the right.

In the front!

The ball travels to the right.
Right fielder…

catches it.

2 FLIES IN A ROW, 2 OUTS

GOSH…

MY HEAD

He pitches a change-up
with a four-seam grip.

It's harder for the hitters
to get the timing right.

A runner on first with two outs.

Next up is number three, Lee Taek-keun.

Taek-keun said it's easy to hit.

Let's hit one!

Crush the ball here.

There you go.

He goes for the first pitch!

He goes for the first pitch!

It goes directly to the third baseman.

This ball

was the last out
of the Monsters this inning.

Three outs.
Although the first hitter advanced,

the Monsters weren't able to score
in the third inning.

THEY MUST'VE PRACTICED A LOT

They must've done lots of fungoes.

Look how fast his reflex was.

Gosh, how come
that went directly to third base?

INCREASING PRESSURE

DARN

PRESSURED

OVERWHELMING PRESSURE…

HE WARMED UP LIKE THAT
FOR A WHILE AT THE BACK…

BACK TO WORK

The game moves on to the top of the third
with the Bears on offense.

Yoo Hee-kwan still takes the mound.

HEE-KWAN IS STILL ON THE MOUND

The first hitter is Jang Seung-hyun,
the eighth hitter.

-Jang Seung-hyun!
-Let's go!

He was a right-handed hitter,

but he's trying to switch and play
as a left-handed hitter this fall.

Jang Seung-hyun
is standing on the left side.

-That's right.
-This is quite symbolic because

he entered the box right-handed before,
but it didn't work out.

So this is his first appearance
as a left-handed hitter.

Jang Seung-hyun, the left-hand hitter,
is in the box against Yoo Hee-kwan.

This is quite unique.

HE HITS!

IS IT A HIT?

It goes straight to the pitcher!

PITCHER

AND A FIELDER

A line drive into the pitcher!

Hee-kwan became a fielder after pitching.

He gets Jang Seung-hyun
out just like that! One out.

HE'S IMPRESSED

HE FORGOT TO COMMENTATE
DUE TO A FASCINATING PLAY

Watch it again.
It was heading straight to him.

Thanks to Hee-kwan's amazing reflexes,

he was able to catch it.

You okay?

HE'S SWEET

I know you were surprised,
so let's calm down.

I'm just pissed
they keep hitting my pitches.

NOTHING IS WRONG WITH HIM

He could've gotten good-looking.

He almost had to get a new set of teeth.

He might've needed facial surgery.

It would've made him more handsome though.

THEY'RE JOKING AROUND IN RELIEF

NO RUNNERS WITH AN OUT

One out thanks to the pitcher.

Next up is Jeon Min-jae.

-Strike!
-An inside pitch is declared a strike.

-Was that a fastball?
-No idea.

Hitters who are facing him
for the first time will have trouble.

It's hard for first-timers to hit it.

THE MAN OF DEVILISH PITCHES

HE HITS!

SURPRISED!

It grazes off the bat.

It's hard to track this one.

Center fielder tracks it and catches it.

Lee Taek-keun.

I didn't expect today's game
to be smooth sailing like this.

-I know, right?
-Our players are doing so well.

On the Bears' official channel,

they talked about winning a called game.

That's understandable.

They have players from the main team,
and it's Manager Lee's debut game.

So that's why the players
will be extra motivated to win.

I watched them train,

and Manager Lee was helping the players
train with tee-ball,

and I've never seen a manager
help players like a robot.

Tell me about it.

Next up is Lee Yu-chan, the leadoff.

I WILL SHOW YOU
THE POWER OF TEE-BALL TRAINING

We need to get this guy.

He's a fast runner, so we need him out.

He's not just fast, he's the fastest.

STRIKE

I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE FAST OR NOT

HE POUTS

HE HITS!

He pushes it out!

This one's a big one.

Hurry up, track the ball!

He pushes it out!

It flies to the right.
Right fielder tracks it.

And right fielder catches it!

Three outs!

Yoo Hee-kwan does not allow
any runner this inning.

A 1-2-3 inning!

The game moves onto the fourth.

His pitches are really nice today.

We got the momentum now!

TOP OF THE 4TH INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 1 BEARS

There are nine innings in baseball.

We're about a third into the game,
but the score still remains even.

The Monsters are holding up very well
against the Bears.

Manager Lee's thought was
to form a perfect lineup

-and score runs early.
-Right.

But the game didn't turn out
the way he wanted, so we'll have to see.

Do we have extra innings?

We do. A tiebreaker.

I see.

If that happens,
we'll say we lost and go home.

WOW…

I can't believe it's a close game.

I think we can win.

Everyone is so good at defense today.

FEELS THE VICTORY COMING

And as for us,

-Lee Dae-h* is up.
-That's right.

Nice batting.

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

The crowd is cheering Lee Dae-h* on.

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

Dae-h*, hit a big one!

The first hitter, Lee Dae-h*.

WE ONLY HAVE ONE WISH

-Dae-h*!
-Dae-h*!

It skips off the bat. It pops up high.

AWKWARD…

First baseman waits
and catches it for the out.

He took an ambitious swing,
but it skipped off the bat.

-Gosh.
-His swing was too big.

That was too fast.

Tell him to pitch stronger.

DARN IT…

The ball didn't hit
after you swung, right?

It doesn't come straight.

If it did, it'd be a homer.

IGNORES HIM

The velocity was suddenly at 120km/h.

After Seong-hoon, when Moon-h* is up,

-should we switch to Lee Won-jae?
-Sure.

SOUNDS GOOD

From the Bear's perspective,

they took Dae-h* out without any trouble.

-Right.
-This can begin shifting the momentum.

Nice!

But it's Jeong Seong-hoon.

-When did you become a left-handed hitter?
-I used to be one.

If it weren't for the stadium,

Seong-hoon's hit
would've at least hit the wall.

It was so close.

Let's get him out!

He hits it, but it's a foul.

-Nice.
-Good job!

LET'S SEE…

Nice ball!

See he even swings too fast.

The timing's off.

Everyone's swings are too fast.

CLEANUP TRIO IS HAVING TROUBLE
WITH THE TIMING

Seong-hoon showed a strong desire
to play today's game.

A strong will. But he misses his swing.

WHAT AM I DOING…

We should've let him advance
with a walk earlier.

I should've hit the ball.

As the game goes on,
your will becomes stronger,

and your thoughts change too.

I HAVE TO PROVE MYSELF THIS TIME

Swings and misses, strikeout!

STRIKEOUT WITH A TRICKY CURVEBALL

Two outs.

HE SIGHS…

They seem to have the momentum now.

Park Shin-zi was able to make this happen

because he got Lee Dae-h* out easily.

Change him.

READY TO PLAY THEIR ACE

Let's go!

CONSTANTLY CHANGING PITCHERS?

-Lee Won-jae.
-Okay.

He's switching pitchers.

-Good pitching. Good work.
-Thank you.

The Bears substitute pitchers
first in this game.

THEY CHANGED PITCHERS QUICKLY

Lee Won-jae is taking the mound.

SECOND PITCHER, LEE WON-JAE

Lee Won-jae graduated
Kyungnam middle and high school.

Many predict that he'll be playing
as a left-handed starting pitcher

in the future.

Who is he?

Lee Won-jae.

He's got no control.

This means Hee-kwan is in the lead.

He won the starting pitcher w*r.

But you know we don't change our pitchers
until midgame.

No pitchers are warming up.

We can't afford to change pitchers.

HERE'S A PITCHER
WHO'S BEEN WARMING UP

HE'S STRETCHING WHENEVER HE CAN

ENERGIZING HIMSELF WITH SWEETS
REGARDLESS OF WHAT'S GOING ON

I can't wrap my head around why…

Why did I do that?

Be honest with me.
How did it look as the third party?

-Me?
-How did it look as the third party?

The runner didn't steal from the start.

-I know.
-But…

he suddenly went for a delayed steal.

HEATED

He just skipped and ran.

HE SIGHS…

Except when there are no runners,

always toss the ball away

after the umpire confirms.

-I should play slower.
-Right.

Time is all you have.

It's not like you have plans. Okay?

I'm going to hit the first pitch.

In A Clean Sweep, we had
Yun Jun-h* and Ryu Hyun-in get drafted.

That's right.

They were drafted in rounds five and six,
despite their capabilities.

But he was drafted in round two.
He's extraordinary.

Right.

-He's against Kim Moon-h*.
-Get on a base!

For Doo-san,
their southpaws are saved for later.

I hope they perform well.

The first pitch comes in too high.

It's okay!

IT'S NOT OKAY!

These are young players

-chosen by the Bears.
-Right.

-They are great players.
-Indeed.

The count is two ba*ls. Kim Moon-h*.

-It's okay!
-Come on!

Yes!

He's got no control!

-Come on!
-My head must stay still.

Lee Won-jae, a pitcher who played
ten games in the Futures League.

His third pitch is too high.
He's at three ba*ls.

We're at two outs,
but he's about to throw four ba*ls.

Manager Lee Seung-yuop is
staring at the roster.

Hey, you haven't been pitching at all!

-What did you do all this time?
-Manager Lee, what now?

-What did you do all this time?
-Did you slack off?

Strike!

WHAT?

Lee Won-jae, a pitcher who played
ten games in the Futures League.

He comes in deeply. Four ba*ls.

Darn it.

LA LA LA LA

Yes, stay there like Yi Sun-sin!

We're at two outs,

but Kim Moon-h* walked out.

2 OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST

Next at bat is
batter seven, Seo Dong-wook.

-I have high hopes for him today.
-Me too.

ANXIOUS

Seo Dong-wook was the one
who hit our first home run,

and we began the chase after that.

-That was our first match.
-That's why.

It'll be great
if he hits one in the last game.

A HOME RUN
IN THE FIRST AND THE LAST GAME?

Will something that dramatic unfold?

HE HITS!

He pulls it in! It rolls past first base!

SCREAMING

MAIN WRITER, LIGHTING DIRECTOR

YES!

The runner on first passes second base!

Home!

He reaches third base!

He reaches third base!

THE RUNNER ON 1ST REACHES 3RD!

WE BELIEVED IN YOU! PROFESSOR SEO!

THAT WAS INSANE, DONG-WOOK

Seo Dong-wook makes another hit!

The on-base machine, Seo Dong-wook,
batter seven of the Monsters!

DONG-WOOK BEGINS AND ENDS THE GAME

-Seo Dong-wook!
-Seo Dong-wook!

-Who?
-Seo Dong-wook!

PROFESSOR SEO! WE LOVE YOU!

-Seo Dong-wook!
-Seo Dong-wook!

Can a hit roll out that quickly
and escape that easily?

If we count our last game,

he got on base seven times!

2 GAMES, ON-BASE 7 TIMES!

GRAVE LOOK AGAIN

TROUBLED

LET'S SUBSTITUTE HIM

We'll substitute him with Kim Dong-ju.

THIS IS THE COLD-HEARTED WORLD
OF PROFESSIONALS

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

-Kim Dong-ju.
-Kim Dong-ju?

The Bears sub out Lee Won-jae.

-They have more pitchers.
-Yes.

-They're switching.
-Come on!

EVERYONE PROTESTS

He used to say he trusts the pitchers!

He really doesn't want to lose.

You're scared!

Who is it?

-Kim Dong-ju.
-Man.

Kim Dong-ju is with the first division.

He was promoted to the mop-up man
for the first division

and showed a good performance.

He played in ten games
for the first division.

HE'S UP-AND-COMING

-Who's he?
-Kim Dong-ju, right?

Kim Dong-ju.

Man, look at his size.

He let me hit a grand slam.

-A grand slam.
-I hit a grand slam.

But it's less than 140km/h.

-He's first-string.
-It's 141km/h.

Really? Is it 141km/h?

Dae-h* says he only throws at 141km/h.

He hasn't been acknowledged by Dae-h*.

He's in the second division,

then goes to first in danger.

Perfection.

He made a perfect calculation.

Do you know what's really cruel?

That Park Chan-hui is next at bat.

You're right.

He should make this chance count,

but he's faced
with a first-division player.

Kim Dong-ju was chosen

in the first round
of the second draft in 2021.

Park Chan-hui is up against this pitcher.

Two outs, runners on first and third.

But he must overcome this ordeal.

-Chan-hui, be aggressive!
-Chan-hui, make up for this.

First pitch, a fastball at 145km/h!

ARGH!

-He just threw 145km/h.
-It's 145km/h.

He couldn't throw that fast at me.

DID HE PRACTICE?

MAKE YOUR FIGHT

This is what you need
to play in the first division.

When he gets on the mound in a crisis,

he must control his pitch
with this boldness.

-You can do it!
-You can do it!

-Batter eight, Park Chan-hui!
-Batter eight, Park Chan-hui!

He throws 145km/h into the dead center.

-Park Chan-hui!
-Park Chan-hui!

HE MUST RETURN THIS SUPPORT

-Park Chan-hui!
-Park Chan-hui!

HE HITS!

He pushes the second pitch!
It's between first and second base!

It's a hit!

YES!

CHEERING!

One point we lost is

taken back by Park Chan-hui!

The timely hit to turn the tables!
It's Park Chan-hui!

DEEPLY MOVED

Nice!

WHAT AN INTERESTING KID

WE TRUSTED YOU!

Man.

CK Monsters take the lead back

from the Bears!

DONG-WOOK MADE IT TO 2ND BASE

GOOD JOB, CHAN-HUI

That was a difficult moment
for Park Chan-hui, an amateur.

He just pushed away that aggressive pitch.

That hit helped us
take the lead from behind!

NICE, MOON-h*!

Nice job!

THE MONSTERS TAKE THE LEAD BACK

Okay.

GOOD JOB!

Chan-hui, nice.

Change the pitcher again!

Chan-hui, that was cool!

Come at us!

I'LL k*ll OH JU-WON AND JANG WON-SAM

SIGH…

BOILING INSIDE

This is what's important.

He regained that point that he had lost.

We were at two outs.

He can forget it a little.

No, he can forget it all.
That just gave us

a chance to continue this inning.

Let's go, Nichkhun.

Seok-hoon, I've never seen him hit one.

Let's make a nice ending.

And now, Chi Seok-hoon.

Let's go, Seok-hoon!

IT'S HIS LAST DANCE

I like Chi Seok-hoon.

And he said this.

He hit a home run in the post-season

-against the Bears.
-He did.

That means he's confident today.

-Of course!
-Right?

He wouldn't say that
unless he was confident.

First pitch, ball.

FULL OF CONFIDENCE

Let's go!

SULLEN
STOP THE ba*ls…

They're shaken.

Bring a mercenary.

SWING WITH ELBOWS TUCKED IN

Come on out, Jeong Cheol-won!

Even Chan-hui
overcame the pressure and made a hit.

I wanted to do something, somehow.

The hope among those born in 1984,
Chi Seok-hoon.

He makes another hit! It flies out!

Okay!

This is it!

YES!

RUNNER ON 2ND SPRINTS

-Home!
-No!

He's running home!

YONG-TAEK MAKES HIM RUN

Throw back home!

Runner on 2B runs through 3B!

RETURNING HOME!

SAFE?

OUT?

-Run!
-Run!

The runner returns home from third!

Two outs, three to one!

Nice!

NICE!

AN EXHILARATING EXTRA POINT!

POKER FACE
GOOD JOB

-Chi Seok-hoon!
-Chi Seok-hoon's timely hit!

Chi Seok-hoon finally shines brightly!

I didn't know we'll have
so many fans of CK Monsters.

Thank you very much for your support.

CK Monsters are also hearing

loud claps and shouts of support.

AS IF THIS IS OUR HOME

And the support comes together

and the score is three to one.

THIS IS INSANE
THE MONSTERS LEAD BY 2

We have more fans. We won.

GOOD JOB, DONG-WOOK

Park Yong-taek!

Park Yong-taek!

CHIC TAEK
HERE, MY CEREMONY

A FULL CELEBRATION

-You won't show your teeth to the end.
-No?

-You have to.
-Don't show your teeth.

He subbed the pitcher with bad control

with a first-division player,

but that experience didn't work.

It's a tough situation.

THEY'RE SUDDENLY ALL DOWN

Man, we're in trouble.

MAN… WE'RE IN TROUBLE

Park Chan-hui's timely hit
got this inning going.

And now, the evil second baseman,
Jeong Keun-woo, is next at bat.

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-Jeong Keun-woo!

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-Jeong Keun-woo!

-Shout out!
-The Bears are shaken,

so the Monsters are full of confidence.

Hey, two outs.

He'll come in at all costs.

Park Chan-hui on second.
Chi Seok-hoon on first.

Let's go, devil!

Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

Keun-woo, hit one.

This is Manager Lee's first game
before the fans.

-Bad control.
-Two ba*ls.

Let's go!

SICK OF ba*ls

Jeong Keun-woo wants short hits,

but I think he should swing big.
He's at two ba*ls.

After two outs, a strong batter, Keun-woo.

HE HITS!

He pushes to third base!

OUT?

HIT?

Toward the right fielder!
It flies right in front of him.

Three outs.

SO CLOSE…

Give up a big hand for the Monsters!

BUT 2 POINTS
GREAT JOB!

THAT WAS CLOSE

Man.

Nice! Let's field now!

Let's keep our points!

Like a swarm of bees!

BIG SMILE

-Nice.
-Let's keep our points.

-Chan-hui!
-Chan-hui!

-Okay, Chan-hui.
-Chan-hui, good!

They made good hits.

I CAN HIT WELL TOO

Darn it!

Park Chan-hui's timely hit,
then Chi Seok-hoon!

Nice.

Number eight, nine.

OUR BOTTOM OF THE LINEUP IS GREAT!

KEUN-WOO: GOSH…

-Nice batting.
-Yes, thank you.

The score is three to one.
The Monsters lead again!

YOU NEVER KNOW WITH BASEBALL

Why?

SCREAMING
OH, COME ON!

It was right in front!

MAN! IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT!

This is brutal.

I'm really worried now.

GRABBING WHAT HE CAN TO STRETCH

I'm nervous.

I feel like I got
four lottery numbers right.

Really?

Do you get it?

I got four right now.

I have won 5,000 won so far.

If Kyoung-min makes it out,

let's do a sudden bunt with Dae-han.

If Kyoung-min gets on base.

-Dae-han?
-Yes.

Just for the first pitch.

Bottom of the fourth,
the Bears are batting.

Current score, three to one.

CK Monsters takes the lead.

Bears' players could feel rushed too.

Yoo Hee-kwan's strength is how he handles

such rushing batters very smoothly.

How will this inning go?

Next at bat, Heo Kyoung-min.

He threw a high one before.

According to our intelligence,
he'll bat twice, then go out.

It won't be easy.

He must take down the first batter.

He made an amazing hit before.

HE HITS!

It hits the pitcher's glove and falls.

SPRINTING

It hits the pitcher's glove and falls.
To first.

Safe!

SAFE!

-Lee Dae-h*!
-Out! Lee Dae-h*!

GOOD JOB!

FLUSTERED
WHAT DID I JUST WITNESS?

Lee Dae-h* catches this throw!

THE DEFENSE FAIRY OF THE MONSTERS

Lee Dae-h*, how tall is he? Like 2m?

He catches every ball that flies
as he plays the first baseman.

Defense fairy, Lee Dae-h*.

-Right here.
-Nice save.

The timing was good,

but Yoo Hee-kwan's throw went far out,

-but he jumped and caught it.
-Look how nimble he is.

His steps are so quick.

EVEN THE GROUND SHAKES
WHAT DID I JUST WITNESS?

Dae-h*, that was fast.

-That was fast.
-Excellent, Dae-h*.

It'll be quite smooth after this inning.

Dae-h* is very quick.

-Come, new one.
-Then I'll hit

Kim In-tae.

With one point.

A WEIRDO

Kim Dae-han is at bat.

He hit a grounder to third
when he was first at bat.

Hee-kwan pitches so well.

He does.

Strong, weak, strong, weak,
moderate, weak.

A foul.

Swings and misses. It's a complete miss.

SHAKES HEAD

GOSH, HEE-KWAN…

JUST 4 MONTHS AGO,

STRIKEOUT LOOKING

OKAY!

NICE PITCH

HE WAS MY BELOVED ACE

EYES FULL OF LOVE!

I WAS HAPPY TO HAVE YOU…

Up against the Bears is

the Bears' former pitcher with 101 wins,
Yoo Hee-kwan.

PITCHER WITH 101 WINS, YOO HEE-KWAN

HE HITS!

An inside pitch. It goes far.

Good.

Short!

-Okay!
-The shortstop and second!

The second baseman catches!

Jeong Keun-woo catches. Two outs.

-Okay!
-Go!

THROW IN 1 MORE WIN TODAY

Nice defense.

Thanks to them calling that out,

Yoo Hee-kwan puts out
seven batters in a row.

MY OLD COMRADE…

Hit a home run, Min-hyeok!

-Min-hyeok!
-Min-hyeok!

-Min-hyeok, let's go!
-Go!

Get on base!

He's the only five-star on our team.

He's the general!

We're at two outs, so let's keep it slow.

Seven batters came in the box,

but not one of them got on base.

Let's get on base!

His control became even more perfect.

He'll have to pitch to the end.

HE HITS!

He pushes it out on the right.

IMPRESSED…

-He's good.
-He's a good batter.

NODDING

NICE, MIN-HYEOK

-Okay, nice!
-Good one!

Kim Min-hyeok pushes it out.

Two outs, a runner on first.

Nice batting.

The Bears is a pro team.

They aren't going
to end this inning easily.

Timeout!

Good work.

Jae-seok, good work.

He's using An Jae-seok as a pinch runner.

That's a nice change.

-That's An Jae-seok.
-He said he won't use them,

but he's suddenly out.

Chan-hui, get ready!

LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY

Kim In-tae is next at bat.

Right fielder, pull in a bit.

Chan-hui, get ready!

-The second baseman?
-Right fielder.

I'LL DO IT IN FRUSTRATION
MOVE IN

OKAY!

Two outs, a runner on first.

THERE IS ONLY ONE OUT TO GO

He holds second base in check.

A quick throw.

SO CLOSE

Nice timing!

One single pitch can change

the game drastically today.

Yoo Hee-kwan is on the mound,

and he has to pitch.

HE WILL GO DOWN WHEN HE LOSES FOCUS

Nice pitch!

AN JAE-SEOK SHAKES THE PITCHER

HE HITS!

He pulls it in.
The second baseman catches.

Jeong Keun-woo to Lee Dae-h*.

His throw says the inning ends now.

GREAT JOB!

-Okay!
-Okay!

COLD-HEADED
THAT'S IT

THAT WAS EASY LOL

That was easy.

Yoo Hee-kwan did not lose a point
in the fourth inning.

SOLID 4 INNINGS, NO POINTS LOST

This is amazing.

So amazing.

FULL OF HAPPINESS

This is amazing.

TAKES HIS WATCH OFF

WARMING UP

This situation is just hilarious.

What am I doing here?

I have to pitch after three months,

then during the broadcast.

What is this? A spare tire?

Yes, this is a team.

It's my first time
becoming a spare tire at age 47.

This is a team.

We must all do our thing. This is a team.

THE HIDDEN CARD OF THE MONSTERS
QUIETLY WARMING UP

It's the bottom of the fifth,
the Bears are batting.

Yoo Hee-kwan is back on the mound.

HEE-KWAN IS STILL ON THE MOUND

If Yoo Hee-kwan blocks this inning too,

then he can be a pitcher with ten wins.

-Yes.
-That's the situation.

That's right. Yoo Hee-kwan.

Let's bat!

Yes, let's go!

Let's go! Get on base!

The first batter is
batter six, Kang Seung-h*.

This is Kang Seung-h*'s
second time batting today.

PLEASE, GET ON BASE

HE HITS!

It flies above the pitcher
and becomes a single.

GOSH, RUN!

OKAY, LET'S CHASE THEM!

-Let's chase them!
-Let's go now!

We're faced with a crisis
before the fifth ends.

First batter, Kang Seung-h*, is out.

Man, that was a fast hit.

SUDDENLY ANXIOUS

I knew we'd face a crisis.

Dae-eun, start warming up.
We might face a crisis soon.

Once they get on base,

one runner will cause a sense of tension.

The problem is Kang Seung-h*,
who has stolen more than a dozen bases.

Will Yoo Hee-kwan stop him?

No outs, a runner on first.

They'll make all kinds of signs.

LIKE A FORTUNE-TELLER

CORRECT, ALL KINDS OF SIGNS

THEY BEGIN THEIR STRATEGY
ONCE A RUNNER IS OUT

ALL KINDS OF ORDERS ARE GIVEN

UNDERSTOOD!

He stole 13 bases in total.

When the game turns for a team,

the manager must operate
to seize the flow.

I wonder what the strategy is.

A SUDDEN BUNT!

It's a bunt.

It's out of the foul line.

THE SUDDEN BUNT FAILS

It's out of the foul line.

-Jeong Seong-hoon is on fire.
-He is.

The ball spun around, then fell down,

he realized it'll go out,
and didn't catch it.

He could've caught it, but he didn't.

It became a foul.

It's reassuring to have
Jeong Seong-hoon on third base.

Yes.

Manager Lee wants to chase after us
one after another.

He knows he just needs
Yoo Hee-kwan to leave.

Yes, just Yoo Hee-kwan.

Make something happen!

The runner is still on first.

THE RUNNER RETURNS TO 1ST

LOOK AGAIN, HERE COME THE SIGNS

HE CONTINUES TO SEND SIGNS

Will it be a bunt? A fake bunt slash?

Or just a swing?

There are many strategies.

What will it be this time?

Second pitch, out of the zone.

WHAT?

NICE CALL!

Good, nice call!

An important pitch at one and one.

ARGH!

-He pushes it out!
-Hey.

YES! THAT'S IT!

He pushes the third pitch out
down the center.

SHRIEK!

ABOUT TO CRY
THIS IS GREAT!

THE HEART OF BEARS…

YES!

…ARE EXCITED AGAIN

The Bears get
two batters on the base in a row.

I knew we'd face a crisis.

Yoo Hee-kwan's pitches are

-now met with short batting.
-Yes.

This is a nice approach from them.

The Bears began
to hit differently in this inning.

This is a crisis for the Monsters.

THE BEARS SEIZED THE FLOW

LET'S HIT ANOTHER ONE!

-Hey!
-Hey!

-Hey!
-Hey!

Manager Kim Sung-keun is
walking toward the mound.

Manager Kim walks to meet Yoo Hee-kwan

for the first time
after he let Yang Chan-yeol hit a single.

NERVOUS

Keun-woo, the manager.

THE TRANSLATOR IS HERE

THE INFIELDERS GET AROUND THE MOUND

THE MONSTERS' BIGGEST CRISIS

THE BASEBALL GOD HEADS TO THE MOUND

GULP

-Yes.
-You're doing well.

-This time, a double play. Okay?
-Yes.

-You need to play hard now.
-Yes.

The ball went in that way, so be careful.

-Don't be so conscious.
-Let's go.

No matter what the game is,
the flow is everything.

Of course.

THE MANAGER BREAKS THE FLOW

In this inning, Yoo Hee-kwan records
zero outs, runners on first and second.

He faces his biggest crisis in this game.

Batter eight, Jang Seung-hyun is up.

Let's put him out!

HE BEGINS TO SEND SIGNS

Manager Lee's choice is… A bunt?

-A bunt.
-Yes.

Jang Seung-hyun gets ready for a bunt.

We pull up for defense.

THE INFIELDERS PULL UP AND DEFEND

Will he get through
the infielders who just walked in?

He switches to swinging. It's a hit.

He switches to swinging. It's a hit.

It goes between the first and second.

OPERATION SUCCESS
NICE!

The runner on second passes third.

Home!

Go!

THROUGH DAE-h*, TO CHAN-HUI!

And he returns back home.

The Bears chase after us.

SCREAMING

THIS IS HOW A PROFESSIONAL TEAM WINS!

YES!

SERIOUSLY EXCITED

Good swing.

Good swing.

THEY'RE ABOUT TO TIE

Jang Seung-hyun's timely hit!

The Bears carry out their operation

and take one point.

READS FACE

Dae-eun is warming up.

-Jang Won-sam.
-Jang Won-sam.

I'll go.

Won-sam, warm up with him.

Among the Monsters, Rhee Dae-eun
began to warm up his shoulder.

Three to two, the Monsters are in trouble.

The tying runner on third,
the winning runner on first.

IF HE HITS, IT'LL BE A TIE

Jeon Min-jae is now at bat.

EVERYONE IS DESPERATE

We have to stop them here.

All we have are our gums and teeth.

A CRISIS
I MUST STOP THIS

A grounder on the outside.
The third baseman catches.

Third baseman, Jeong Seong-hoon.

QUICK MOVES
SAFE

THE BEARS BEGIN THEIR CHASE

He hits! It's a timely hit.

CORNER THEM

He catches as he runs.

WE COMPLETELY LOSE THE LEAD
WITH ONE MISTAKE AFTER ANOTHER

Hey!

WE CANNOT LET IT END LIKE THIS

WE MUST TURN THE TABLES AROUND

The runner arrives on first!

Jung Eui-yoon is at second!

THE MONSTERS BEGIN THEIR COUNTER

He pushes it out.
Second baseman catches it!

HE CAUGHT THAT?

THE ROMANTIC PITCHER, OH JU-WON,
COMING UP TO TAKE THE FINAL VICTORY

Looking great.

THE GAME ISN'T OVER

HOW WILL THE FINAL GAME END?
