Chapter 895 Scary to Death
A baseball game soon started, with a coin toss to determine the offensive and defensive sides. The final result was that the team attacked first and a group of Marines defended.
Gao Yang only knew some of the most basic rules. For example, if the offensive side, that is, the side hitting the ball with the bat, has three batters out, the offensive and defensive roles must be exchanged until the score determines the winner after nine innings. .
The first thing to do was attack. As a pitcher, Frye had nothing to do, so Frye and Gao Yang watched the first inning together nervously.
Because Frye joined and they belonged to this side, Gao Yang and the others were very concerned about a game with which they were not very familiar with the rules. Although few of the others were interested in baseball, since they became regular soldiers In a game between the United States and China, there will definitely be no shortage of supporters in a crowded place.
Even the spectators next to the football field and basketball field also ran over, and some basketball players also ran to the baseball field with basketballs in their arms, cheering for the baseball team that they did not know but belonged to the same type of people.
It's a pity that the batters here are so unsatisfactory. Two batters were struck out, and they didn't even hit the ball with one swing. The last batter was covered for once, but Unfortunately, the ball he hit was caught by a fielder on the Marine Corps side. Although he finally hit it with a swing, he was still out.
Although it was originally a group of amateurs playing around, the three most confident hitters in front of the offense were all eliminated. Not scoring a single point was embarrassing enough, considering the offense had been accumulating three outs before. Nine people take turns to hit the bases and score runs.
When attacking, offense and defense will be switched until three players are eliminated. Therefore, theoretically, it is possible for the offensive team to score a lot of points in one attack. As long as there are not three players eliminated, the offense will continue to score. This is the so-called collapse of the defensive team. And now. This side collapsed directly during the attack.
The offense and defense swap, and the defensive side throws the ball. After Frye and the others gathered around to discuss a few words, Frye walked up to the pitcher's position nervously.
The first batter on the Marines' side was their captain, the one who issued the invitation to play.
This is the first time Frye has played in a slightly more formal game. In fact, let alone games, he rarely even plays with three or five people.
The batsman of the Marine Corps seemed very active. He jumped up and down in place, tapped the bat on the ground a few times, swung it a few times and put it on his shoulders, and then repeated the action just now. He stretched out his bat and shouted to Frye: "Hey, did you see it? This is the prize I won in the military competition. See what it says on it? It says, give the best bat Ball player Lightning Dell! Haha, rookie. Come on, I'm the first, so let me teach you what a home run is!"
After saying that,
The batter turned to the growing crowd and yelled, "Remember, my name is Lightning Dale!"
Frye looked a little nervous, throwing the ball back and forth between his hands. Waiting for Dell to finally put the bat on his shoulders and the umpire signaled that he could bowl. Frye took a deep breath, bent his legs and knees, and threw out his first pitch.
Dale didn't swing, and the umpire yelled, "Bad pitch!"
Dell laughed very tastelessly. Of course, he was also putting psychological pressure on Frye by doing so.
Frye was shaking his head when the catcher yelled from behind: "Don't worry, man, you can do it!"
Frye picked up a ball again, slapped it twice as usual, and threw the second ball.
Dale still didn't swing the bat, and the umpire yelled again: "Bad ball!"
Frye may have been a little too biased. Even their catcher shook his head repeatedly, but Dell smiled and said: "Man, you are going to throw four bad balls and send me on base. Why don't you give me a chance to hit the home run?" ?”
Gao Yang was a little anxious. He shouted: "Play hard! No, shoot your ball well. Why are you nervous?"
Frye turned his head and glanced at Gao Yang, then made a gesture with his left hand.
When he saw Frye's gesture, Gao Yang was stunned, and then he smiled and said: "Fake, this guy from Xiaocai is actually using tactics. I said it's impossible for him to perform so poorly!"
Jason said anxiously: "What's going on? What's going on?"
Gao Yang smiled and said: "It seems to be one of the tactics of baseball, mixing bad balls and good balls to paralyze the opponent."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang yelled again: "Stop playing, just do it!"
Others may not know what it means, but Frye knows. He turned around and stretched out his left hand, making a V-shaped gesture toward Gao Yang.
Frye threw the ball for the third time. Dell still didn't swing the bat, but this time the referee yelled: "Good ball!"
Dell looked a little annoyed. He tapped the ground with his bat, then raised the bat again, looking attentive.
Frye shot quickly and threw the ball again.
Dale swung the bat, but after the bat passed over the baseball, the catcher held it firmly in his hand.
As long as he swings the bat, whether Frye's pitch is a strike or a bad pitch, it is considered a strike, but Frye's pitch was a real strike, but Dell failed to hit it.
"Wow!"
There was a low exclamation from the long side, and then someone yelled, "Curveball, he throws a curveball!"
Most of the spectators on the sidelines are Americans, so whether they like it or not, many people still understand the rules, and they can also see some tricks. When Frye threw a shot, it suddenly fell in front of Dell. After the ball drew an obvious curve, someone immediately shouted out.
Someone on the team started shouting and screaming, and their captain yelled: "That's great, strike out! Strike out! Let him strike out!"
Frye nodded and pitched again, this time using the most common slant-shoulder pitch.
Dale swung again, but again he missed.
Dell looked confused, but the catcher behind Dell looked shocked. If there were high-speed cameras, maybe they could know why Dell's bat appeared on the correct flight path of the baseball, but failed to hit the baseball. Because The baseball moves so fast that the bat gets into the catcher's glove before it reaches it.
The referee was slow, and he looked at Fry blankly before waking up from a dream, and then shouted: "Good ball, strikeout!"
Dell was a little confused, but Frye waved his hand, and then a spectator suddenly shouted: "I bet! The speed of the ball just now must have exceeded a hundred miles!"
"Farke, he just threw a curveball and now he's throwing a fastball! Is this guy a pro?"
Frye's skills shocked everyone, that's all. Frye didn't think he made any great shots, and Gao Yang and the others didn't think so either. They were used to seeing Frye throwing grenades, so they always felt that throwing grenades was Frye's serious job. Baseball is just for fun.
Others were different. Frye threw two difficult and completely different shots in a row, and he was immediately shocked.
Bystanders know clearly, and authorities are fans. Frye has watched the game live and often watches TV, but he only watched other people pitching. He didn't know how good his own pitching was.
There are many ways to pitch baseball, and different pitchers throw balls at different speeds, some fast and some slow, but for Frye, none of this is a problem. He can throw all kinds of tricks, and he can Throwing a super fast ball, if a child can continue to play a very lonely hobby until he grows up, and is very talented, then it is normal for any miracles to happen.
Also, as a hobby, he used to throw stones like baseballs since he was a child. Now he is a bombardier. Whenever he has time, he throws grenades for fun. Frye's Kirin Arm is now fully developed.
After striking out the opponent, Frye, who was playing seriously for the first time, was very excited. His teammates were even more excited. The captain yelled at Frye: "Man, you scared me to death! You really fucking scared me to death." , are you a professional player? Haha, he’s so handsome, strike out, keep striking out and kill them!”
Frye put too much pressure on him, and the second batter had a bad look on his face when he came in. He was too nervous.
Frye's first pitch went out with a whoosh without the batter's bat moving, even though the ball wasn't actually moving very fast.
Gao Yang didn't see any clues, but then someone shouted: "Fake! Fake! Sliding ball! This is a sliding ball! He threw the third type of ball! He must be a professional player!"
Frye also heard the shouting. After being stunned for a moment, he said to the referee: "Hello, can you tell me what a sliding ball is?"
The referee looked helpless and a little depressed because he was from the Marine Corps. Although he was a very competent referee, he could not accept Frye's teasing.
The referee thought that Frye was really teasing them, so he shouted: "It's the game! If you don't understand, go home and ask!"
The catcher said happily: "Man, you are amazing! Keep going, keep going! Kill him!"
Frye shrugged, then threw out his second pitch.
Frye had never felt so happy in his life as he did today. He looked at the batter's confusion and nervousness after he missed the ball, listened to the louder and louder exclamations, and looked at his teammates who jumped three feet high. Frye Feeling sincerely happy.
Frye experienced the excitement that only a child can experience. When he made his first big money, he had never been as pure and happy as he is today.
The referee shook his head and indicated helplessly that Frye could continue. Then, Frye threw the third ball. This time he used a throwing method that he was not very familiar with, using the underhook method to throw a ball. .
The batter didn't swing the bat, but after hesitating for a moment, the umpire finally said in a helpless voice: "Good ball, strikeout!"
Two, striking out another batter can restore the disadvantage, and it can also severely damage the opponent's confidence. But Frye, who has already succeeded twice in a row, is still worried about striking out another batter. Very confident. (To be continued)
