"Are we just the two of us? Isn't that a bit too few?"
Baseball is a sport where running is very important, or perhaps it should be said that running is the whole process.
The defensive player, that is, the pitcher, throws the ball, and there is a person behind him who is responsible for catching the ball.
The offensive team needs to hold the bat and hit the ball in the middle position where they receive the ball. After hitting the ball, they can start running to the next base.
Going from first base to third base and then back to the starting point counts as one point, and you can also score points by hitting the ball out of bounds.
If the ball is not hit out of bounds, the catcher at the back can start running to pick up the ball. If he picks up the ball, he can pass the ball to eliminate the offensive team. After all the offensive team are eliminated, it is the defensive team's turn to attack.
There are also rules for determining strikes and balls. A ball is favorable to the batter. A ball will directly advance to the next base four times, and a strike will get the batter out three times.
Baseball is supposed to be a nine-player sport, and substitutes are needed, so two people are indeed a bit too few.
"Please rest assured, trainer. You can let them take over the matter with the catcher." After Mebiru McQueen clapped his hands, two maids came out from behind. They were Xiao Xia and A Yue.
This way, the defense has three people: one to throw the ball, one to catch the ball, and one to catch the ball.
The offensive side seems to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, only the offensive side can score points. The defensive side is just trying to eliminate the offensive side before they score.
Lin Sheng concluded that no matter it was a good ball or a ball, or a home run, as long as it was hit out of the park, even if it was called a strike, he could still run to the next base and score points no matter what.
There are also restrictions on this type of scoring. Hitting the ball out of bounds will be counted as a strike, and the number of runs scored will be based on the number of players on base for the batting team. However, a strike has disadvantages for the batting team.
More than three strikes will also get the batter out.
There will only be two strikes when hitting the ball out of bounds. After the two strikes, the number of strikes will not be increased due to out-of-bounds accumulation. The number of strikes can only be increased through other situations.
The best baseball player might be the one who hits the ball out of bounds, ensuring the scoring never stops...
It's easier said than done.
On a separate note, every point in baseball is extremely difficult to obtain, and it is common for the offensive team to score only one or two points throughout the game.
A home run is a rare occurrence. If McQueen saw it on TV, he would definitely scream with excitement.
"I'd better attack, since I don't know how to play very well. I hope you can be more lenient with me. It would be too boring if I was eliminated as soon as I came on the court." Lin Sheng took the baseball bat from Mebai McQueen and said modestly.
"Yeah, okay." McQueen agreed happily and took the ball to the pitching position, while A Yue and Xiao Xia also stood in the catcher's receiving area and the catcher's outfield area respectively with gloves.
There are only three defenders, which is very advantageous for Lin Sheng, but don't forget that they are not ordinary people. Lin Sheng is sure that as long as the ball is not hit out of bounds, they will definitely catch it.
Because the ball will stay in the air for more than a few seconds, which is enough time for them to run a hundred meters.
Mi Yu ran to take over from A Yue and acted as a referee. What she needed to do was to judge whether McQueen's shot was a good one.
After Lin Sheng took his place with the bat, Meshiro McQueen faked a move and said, "Then I'm going to throw it."
Chapter 606 If I Win, I Want Dessert
"Well, I'm ready, come on." Lin Sheng couldn't wait any longer.
"Ah, ha! Watch the ball!" McQueen turned his back, made a long forward swaying movement, then suddenly turned around and threw the ball.
嗽!
Snapped!
After seeing McQueen pitch the ball, Lin Sheng swung the bat in his hand and hit the baseball right in the air, sending it flying high.
"Good shot." Mi Yu in the back clenched his fists and acted as a referee very seriously.
In fact, as long as he hit the ball, Lin Sheng could run back to home base from first base in a very short time. That's what he thought.
So once he hit the ball, he started running.
"Ah~~" McQueen was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She watched the ball fly out of the court quickly under her nose.
"Great, it's a home run, Onii-chan scores a point."
"Score?" The ball circled before it hit the ground. Lin Sheng ran back to home base and looked at the ball that was hit very far in the distance. If it weren't for the protective net, it would probably have been hit even farther.
"Is it successful on the first try?" Lin Sheng couldn't believe it himself. "Luck, luck, it's all just luck."
Xiao Xia quickly threw the ball back outside the court.
This baseball is really elastic and its weight is perfect for throwing. Forget about using a baseball bat, you can easily throw it out of the field even with your hands.
Whether you can hit something with a baseball bat is a matter of coordination between accuracy and technique.
"Ahem, cough cough!" Mebai McQueen took the baseball back and said with forced composure, "We'll know if it's just luck later."
McQueen's second pitch began quickly.
"Are you ready, trainer?" she snorted, holding her breath, looking very unconvinced!
Lin Sheng spread his hands and said nothing, meaning to tell her to come over, I'm not afraid of you.
"Be prepared, it won't be that easy this time." Mejiro McQueen used his left foot as a fulcrum, concentrated all his strength on his left foot, and then swung his right hand back.
"What is this posture?" Lin Sheng's intuition told him that this might be bad.
No matter what, as long as I can hit it, I will run away immediately after hitting it.
bah—
This time the baseball launched from McQueen's hands like a cannonball.
"What the hell?" Can a baseball make that sound?
Is this really not a foul?
If it hits someone, they'll die, right?
Lin Sheng had no time to react, and his body reflexively hit the baseball thrown by McQueen.
bah—
It was luck indeed just now.
Because the ball thrown by McQueen was too powerful, the bat only weakened the ball's force when hitting it, and it couldn't be hit out at all.
The result was that the ball was only hit a short distance out of bounds. With the two forces offsetting each other, the ball rose very high but did not fly out of the strike zone.
So, when he discovered this situation, he ran immediately and ran to first base.
McQueen and A Yue, who was also in the strike zone, also started running. McQueen went to catch the ball and A Yue also ran to first base.
If the ball is caught before it hits the ground, it will be a kill and Lin Sheng will be out immediately.
Landing on the ground will not be considered a catch, but if Lin Sheng has not reached first base before the ball is thrown back to first base, it will be considered a catch.
In terms of speed, Lin Sheng is not inferior to McQueen now, but there is also Xiao Xia outside.
She had been ready to catch the ball, but when she found that the ball had just reached the foul area, she ran quickly and her reaction was even faster than theirs.
However, she failed to catch the ball after all. She was just a little bit short, and the ball fell to the ground just as she reached out to catch it.
"Xiao Xia, here." Mejiro McQueen, who had already run to first base and was waiting, called out.
instigate--
Baseball is a sport that really requires speed, and Xiao Xia didn't have time to make any preparations or confirm the direction. He had to throw the ball immediately after receiving it.
The speed was a little slow, and the offensive team could have finished first base and continued to run to second base, so there was no time for her to react.
Snapped!
Mejiro McQueen caught the ball smoothly, but unfortunately Lin Sheng was already standing at first base and had no intention of running to second base.
This time it was too sudden and he was not prepared. If Mao Ran ran to second base, he might be blocked or tagged out, so he didn't do it.
"You run pretty fast?" Mubai McQueen met Lin Sheng's gaze, his heart full of admiration. If it were someone else, they would definitely be eliminated.
"Haha, you're welcome." Why do I feel like her words are sarcastic?
In fact, Lin Sheng had the opportunity to run to second base, but he hesitated for a moment, and in just a moment, the ball was in McQueen's hands.
"Hmph, you won't have a chance next time!" Mubai McQueen snorted and walked towards the pitching area.
This time, Lin Sheng concentrated his attention. It must be very tiring for McQueen to throw that kind of ball. He didn't think McQueen could do it every time.
What would have happened if I hadn't hit that ball?
Can A Yue catch it?
"Ah!" Mubai McQueen once again showed the same posture as before, and his momentum was even greater than before.
No, are you coming?
Lin Sheng gripped the baseball bat tightly and took the best stance to hit the ball. He planned not to catch this ball.
His hands are still numb from the ball he just hit, and he can't catch it even if he wants to. He's likely to be in trouble.
"Hah!" Mebai McQueen shouted and threw the ball out gently.
Snapped!
Lin Sheng missed the ball, and it landed on A Yue's large baseball glove.
No way, I got cheated?
"Haha! Puuuuu!" Mubai McQueen covered his mouth but couldn't hold back his laughter, squealing like a pig.
"Onii-chan, you've already struck out twice. If you strike out again, you'll be out."
"Really?" It was indeed difficult to have only one chance left. He was sure that McQueen would be able to make a good shot, so he had to take it.
The pressure came up all of a sudden.
If McQueen pitches seriously, it will be basically difficult for him to hit a home run again.
"This time, I'm going to knock you out." Megumi McQueen said, blowing on the ball in his hand and twisting his arms twice.
"Prepare to die! This is all my strength." Megumi McQueen once again took a pitching posture, breathing out air, and moving his wrists and heels.
If only she could be that serious during the competition.
"If I win, I want dessert."
"Huh?" Are you so serious just for dessert?
bah—
The powerful air wave broke through the air obstruction and flew out rapidly.
boom--
Lin Sheng naturally hit the ball as soon as he saw it. He had to hit it, otherwise he would be out, so he could only pin his hopes on a home run.
however.
failure.
He still couldn't hit this ball out of the field. The huge recoil made it impossible for him to hold the bat firmly, so he simply threw the bat and ran away.
This time he wanted to run to second base and then continue to attack third base. It was impossible to win by home run. It still depended on who ran faster.
"The ball's caught! Onii-chan's out!"
Is my luck not so good this time?
Is that the end?
Chapter 607 Trainer, didn’t you ask me to…take it off?
At noon, after the baseball game, Mejiro McQueen and Lin Sheng were resting on the sun chairs. Mi Yu was called to eat by McQueen's mother, Mejiro Titan, who came here.
Mejiro McQueen was holding a dessert in his hand with a smile on his face, enjoying the delicious taste of the dessert.
"Hehehe, the trainer's dessert is still delicious."
Unfortunately, Lin Sheng failed to beat McQueen in baseball. In the top half of the first inning, Lin Sheng only scored one point. In the second half, when McQueen took over pitching, Lin Sheng had even less chance.
His pitching skills were very poor, not as good as the trained McQueen, and he was hit by several home runs by McQueen. In this situation, there was no way he could win.
In the second inning, the score was also 2-2, barely tied, but in the third inning McQueen had a super outburst, not only did he not give Lin Sheng a chance to score, he also ended the battle with a home run.
"You're so good! McQueen!" Lin Sheng pinched McQueen's cheek, and was angry when he saw her smug look. "Didn't you agree to give in to me?"
"Hahaha!" Mebai McQueen was still laughing, and the rounder his face became, the more he smiled. "Didn't I give in? I gave in one goal in the first game, and two goals in the second."
"Really? Doesn't that mean, if I don't let it go, I won't get a single point?"
"That's it." Mubai McQueen continued to smile at Lin Sheng. The knowledge of baseball is profound and extensive. It is not possible for a novice to play it right away.
"Really? You're plotting against my dessert... Hey..." Lin Sheng touched her little face, and the more he touched, the more he felt something was wrong. "McQueen, your little face has become rounder again, hasn't it?"
