Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,931 --> 00:00:07,560
(All characters, places, companies,)
2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,076
(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)
3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,060
It's a team that plays the worst and doesn't have a future.
4
00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:14,000
They might continue to be the losers...
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,670
for over 10 years even if you form a new team.
6
00:00:15,670 --> 00:00:17,616
I'm speechless. What a lunatic.
7
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:19,571
How much does he think he knows about baseball?
8
00:00:19,571 --> 00:00:21,745
This is Baek Seung Soo, your new general manager.
9
00:00:22,071 --> 00:00:23,710
I was able to bring victory to a handball team,
10
00:00:23,710 --> 00:00:25,041
wrestling team, and a hockey team.
11
00:00:25,041 --> 00:00:26,780
I don't know much about baseball,
12
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:28,010
but I'll learn as I go.
13
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:29,626
He's really strange.
14
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:31,951
I'd like to trade Lim Dong Gyu off.
15
00:00:31,951 --> 00:00:33,390
But he's the outfielder...
16
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:35,196
and the fifth hitter on the national team.
17
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,221
Do you walk out of your house when your maid tells you to?
18
00:00:38,221 --> 00:00:40,790
Why does he want to sell a good player like Lim Dong Gyu?
19
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:43,161
Someone with a 0.330 batting average has fewer game-winners...
20
00:00:43,161 --> 00:00:44,500
than someone with a 0.270 average?
21
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,971
Dong Gyu is surprisingly not the star player here.
22
00:00:46,971 --> 00:00:48,131
You think the fans will watch it happen?
23
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:50,075
Do you want to see the club's bus on fire?
24
00:00:50,371 --> 00:00:51,500
Why would they set the bus on fire?
25
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,740
Everyone was happy when they heard Kang Doo Ki is returning our team.
26
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:55,011
Kang Doo Ki?
27
00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:57,180
He is the first on the list of national athletes. Is this possible?
28
00:00:57,180 --> 00:00:58,285
Dreams,
29
00:00:59,051 --> 00:01:01,051
I'm back!
30
00:01:01,051 --> 00:01:03,820
Do you feel bad that I did something impossible?
31
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:05,296
Why do you think I chose you?
32
00:01:05,421 --> 00:01:07,326
The championship, then disbandment.
33
00:01:07,391 --> 00:01:08,421
The championship,
34
00:01:08,421 --> 00:01:11,161
then once again... Please do as you've done.
35
00:01:11,161 --> 00:01:13,361
So please, go ahead with your grand scheme for next year.
36
00:01:13,361 --> 00:01:15,861
Who gets to choose the 10 new players for the team...
37
00:01:15,861 --> 00:01:16,900
every year?
38
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,145
I think that's what I should be looking into.
39
00:01:19,271 --> 00:01:22,570
You've been poking at the biggest figures on the team.
40
00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:24,400
The biggest figures are the most popular ones.
41
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,400
We have the first picks,
42
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,070
yet we haven't chosen the best rookie of the year.
43
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:29,516
That hurts.
44
00:01:29,581 --> 00:01:31,441
Do you trust Mr. Ko?
45
00:01:31,441 --> 00:01:33,680
- Yes I do. - Is that really giving trust?
46
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,411
You're just turning a blind eye.
47
00:01:35,411 --> 00:01:36,850
You do know Mr. Ko Se Hyuk, don't you?
48
00:01:36,850 --> 00:01:38,350
How would I know someone like that?
49
00:01:38,350 --> 00:01:40,820
How much did you pay Manager Ko?
50
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:41,990
I don't know anything. Leave!
51
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:45,891
Say that I do something that defames the Dreams.
52
00:01:45,891 --> 00:01:47,131
I have something to report to you.
53
00:01:47,131 --> 00:01:49,376
The unprecedented corruption...
54
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:51,005
of a professional team scouting, in the worst case.
55
00:01:51,161 --> 00:01:53,046
And as for you, you're fired.
56
00:01:57,801 --> 00:02:00,210
If you're a fan of the Dreams,
57
00:02:00,210 --> 00:02:02,346
this news may shock you.
58
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,615
Andy Gordon, the ace player of three years...
59
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:08,980
Mr. Baek, you watched the news about Andy, right?
60
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:11,050
We won't be keeping Andy.
61
00:02:11,050 --> 00:02:13,395
I'll arrange a business trip. Let's go.
62
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:18,266
All right, Miles. Let's show them what you've got.
63
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:27,805
146km per hour.
64
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:36,181
149km per hour.
65
00:02:36,181 --> 00:02:38,555
Now, you know that that's still not 100 percent.
66
00:02:38,881 --> 00:02:42,425
I don't think Andy compares to this guy.
67
00:02:42,751 --> 00:02:43,925
He's insane.
68
00:02:44,251 --> 00:02:45,826
I thought I was watching Doo Ki just now.
69
00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:50,666
But I'm afraid I've got some news for you.
70
00:02:53,191 --> 00:02:56,405
It seems, his price jumped up just a bit overnight.
71
00:02:57,961 --> 00:03:00,006
He's saying that Miles' price jumped up from yesterday.
72
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:01,905
Let's see.
73
00:03:02,741 --> 00:03:06,516
What was the original offer? It was 500,000 dollars, right?
74
00:03:08,741 --> 00:03:10,055
Why don't we double that?
75
00:03:13,281 --> 00:03:14,386
152km per hour.
76
00:03:14,781 --> 00:03:17,826
Double? Just overnight? No way.
77
00:03:18,251 --> 00:03:20,696
All of a sudden? She thinks it's ridiculous.
78
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:21,925
Ridiculous?
79
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:24,360
You see that ball speed...
80
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,536
and you come at us with an offer of just 500,000 dollars?
81
00:03:28,031 --> 00:03:29,200
Now, little Miss,
82
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,236
that, that is ridiculous.
83
00:03:34,170 --> 00:03:36,245
It's too sudden. This is unacceptable.
84
00:03:44,281 --> 00:03:45,715
155km per hour.
85
00:03:49,050 --> 00:03:50,256
All right, then.
86
00:03:51,221 --> 00:03:52,395
No contract.
87
00:03:58,961 --> 00:04:01,236
- Which team is it? - Which team?
88
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,875
I'm sorry. I don't have to tell you anything.
89
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:08,200
He says he's not entitled to answer you.
90
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,816
Tell him we'll reconsider the terms again.
91
00:04:10,941 --> 00:04:12,946
We'll reconsider the contract's conditions.
92
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:15,611
Tell him it'd be better if he tells us...
93
00:04:15,611 --> 00:04:17,456
what the other team offered.
94
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:20,085
If you can tell us what conditions you were offered,
95
00:04:20,481 --> 00:04:22,895
- that would be great. - I don't think so.
96
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,256
You get us that offer by the end of the day.
97
00:04:26,291 --> 00:04:27,595
All right, Sam. Let's go.
98
00:04:30,791 --> 00:04:33,436
- How could he? - What is this?
99
00:04:39,931 --> 00:04:41,706
(Episode 5)
100
00:04:42,570 --> 00:04:44,045
Hello, Mr. Kim Jong Mu.
101
00:04:44,541 --> 00:04:46,816
Did you contact Miles by any chance?
102
00:04:48,041 --> 00:04:49,215
No?
103
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:51,715
All right.
104
00:04:52,010 --> 00:04:54,326
Keep looking for good players, and I'll see you in Korea.
105
00:04:54,751 --> 00:04:55,826
Okay.
106
00:04:58,020 --> 00:04:59,126
So?
107
00:05:00,090 --> 00:05:01,465
How much do you need?
108
00:05:03,621 --> 00:05:05,936
A million dollars? That's a lot of money.
109
00:05:07,861 --> 00:05:08,965
That's too much.
110
00:05:10,931 --> 00:05:12,506
Is he that great a pitcher?
111
00:05:14,470 --> 00:05:15,676
All right.
112
00:05:16,541 --> 00:05:18,616
I have to discuss it with Mr. Kwon first.
113
00:05:19,441 --> 00:05:20,886
Okay. Bye.
114
00:05:29,981 --> 00:05:31,426
Please go ahead and eat.
115
00:05:35,851 --> 00:05:38,061
Okay. We should eat and get energized so we can...
116
00:05:38,061 --> 00:05:40,806
make Miles sign the contract by force if anything. Right?
117
00:05:41,061 --> 00:05:42,206
Well...
118
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,806
Come on, lighten up the mood.
119
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,905
Okay. Let's eat.
120
00:05:47,570 --> 00:05:48,946
Excuse me.
121
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:51,876
Are you Korean? What is it?
122
00:05:52,811 --> 00:05:55,545
- Gosh, hello. - Are you well, Ms. Lee?
123
00:05:56,041 --> 00:05:57,140
(Pelicans' General Manager, Oh Sa Hun)
124
00:05:57,140 --> 00:05:58,516
Nice to meet you.
125
00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:00,785
I'm General Manager Oh Sa Hun of the Pelicans.
126
00:06:01,681 --> 00:06:02,795
Hello.
127
00:06:08,991 --> 00:06:10,165
Can we join you?
128
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,366
It's a little tight.
129
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:16,936
You're the one who contacted Miles, right?
130
00:06:17,530 --> 00:06:18,636
Yes.
131
00:06:20,030 --> 00:06:21,900
I think I might get an upset stomach...
132
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,446
if I eat with someone who made Miles' price double.
133
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:29,616
No, you're being egocentric.
134
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:31,811
If I may say it from my perspective,
135
00:06:31,811 --> 00:06:34,225
I'd say we're scouting Miles for a reasonable price.
136
00:06:34,881 --> 00:06:37,655
You don't have to pay for Miles anyway.
137
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:39,826
We're the ones scouting Miles.
138
00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:41,126
Gosh.
139
00:06:41,351 --> 00:06:43,066
He hasn't signed anything yet.
140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,735
You're a fighter who won't give up. It's a good attitude.
141
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:49,936
But how did you know about Miles anyway?
142
00:06:50,501 --> 00:06:52,506
I never imagined having a competitor.
143
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,845
We would've lost him had we taken our time.
144
00:06:55,101 --> 00:06:56,246
Mr. Oh.
145
00:06:57,501 --> 00:06:59,585
- Do people on the field like you? - What?
146
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,285
How do you scout your players?
147
00:07:01,371 --> 00:07:03,311
Do you search for players for the positions you need,
148
00:07:03,311 --> 00:07:04,386
or...
149
00:07:04,981 --> 00:07:07,326
do you just look for good players regardless of their positions?
150
00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:11,155
I just do as I see fit.
151
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:12,991
Your starter pitcher Cho Byung Yoon is right-handed,
152
00:07:12,991 --> 00:07:14,626
and so is Dave who is second.
153
00:07:14,991 --> 00:07:17,395
Your 4th and 5th pitchers are all right-handed.
154
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,605
Miles is a right-handed pitcher too.
155
00:07:20,691 --> 00:07:24,105
You'll be in trouble if we recruit Miles, right?
156
00:07:27,001 --> 00:07:29,006
Mr. Oh, do you want to make a bet?
157
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:31,975
Let's see who will be smiling on their way home.
158
00:07:34,570 --> 00:07:35,686
I'm someone...
159
00:07:36,481 --> 00:07:40,025
who knocks on every bridge even if it's made out of stone.
160
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:41,525
Well,
161
00:07:42,311 --> 00:07:44,426
we'll be taking Miles anyway.
162
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:46,025
Let's go ahead and make the bet.
163
00:08:03,501 --> 00:08:06,516
Your general manager is Oh Sa Hun, right?
164
00:08:08,041 --> 00:08:09,655
How much is your team spending on recruiting a new pitcher?
165
00:08:10,881 --> 00:08:12,085
Okay.
166
00:08:15,181 --> 00:08:17,626
You think I'm going to use this information against you?
167
00:08:18,181 --> 00:08:19,926
Nonsense. Bye now.
168
00:08:22,291 --> 00:08:23,465
Let's...
169
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:25,895
support them when we can.
170
00:08:27,330 --> 00:08:29,066
Let's go big and give 900,000 dollars.
171
00:08:29,731 --> 00:08:32,235
Yes sir, I'll call them right away.
172
00:08:42,571 --> 00:08:46,885
It seems like I shouldn't be here when you pick this call up.
173
00:08:47,780 --> 00:08:49,426
We were actually talking...
174
00:08:49,581 --> 00:08:52,456
to see if we could scout Doo Ki into our team.
175
00:08:52,821 --> 00:08:54,725
I've been meaning to meet you in person.
176
00:08:55,690 --> 00:08:56,936
Enjoy your meal.
177
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,076
Hello? Yes.
178
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,406
Yes. Yes sir.
179
00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:12,615
Let's eat.
180
00:09:13,371 --> 00:09:14,745
What happened?
181
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:17,885
A million dollars is too much.
182
00:09:24,451 --> 00:09:25,696
Mr. Kwon,
183
00:09:27,991 --> 00:09:30,635
you know how you approved up to 900,000 dollars for spending?
184
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,765
Don't you think Mr. Baek will be able to...
185
00:09:35,861 --> 00:09:38,735
scout the mercenary if you allow a million dollars of funding?
186
00:09:40,331 --> 00:09:41,505
Mister,
187
00:09:42,601 --> 00:09:44,646
don't you say that.
188
00:09:46,071 --> 00:09:47,786
You're saying that as if...
189
00:09:48,571 --> 00:09:51,140
we're trying to set up...
190
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:52,985
for Mr. Baek's failure.
191
00:09:54,751 --> 00:09:56,186
We're...
192
00:09:56,780 --> 00:09:59,456
supporting Mr. Baek...
193
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:02,495
by spending much more on the team than we need to.
194
00:10:05,461 --> 00:10:06,635
You're right.
195
00:10:09,701 --> 00:10:11,076
You're right indeed.
196
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,046
He's just a mercenary.
197
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:16,416
You think 100,000 dollars won't make a difference, do you?
198
00:10:16,940 --> 00:10:19,546
But money is everything when scouting a mercenary.
199
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:21,215
For sure.
200
00:10:22,471 --> 00:10:26,280
Should we contact Griffin?
201
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,625
Ms. Lee,
202
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:31,796
if another team contacted you, would you move to that team?
203
00:10:32,081 --> 00:10:34,495
What? No.
204
00:10:34,991 --> 00:10:36,666
Even if they offer you better pay?
205
00:10:36,861 --> 00:10:40,235
Of course not. To me, the Dreams is...
206
00:10:41,461 --> 00:10:43,536
- Gosh. - That's right.
207
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,176
Money isn't everything.
208
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:51,300
But we don't have special personal or academic relations,
209
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:54,670
so won't money mean everything when scouting a mercenary for our team?
210
00:10:54,670 --> 00:10:56,581
That's only when there's a big jump guaranteed for the pay.
211
00:10:56,581 --> 00:10:58,885
Apparently, we have up to 900,000 dollars for funding.
212
00:10:59,751 --> 00:11:02,656
I'll get in touch with Miles again.
213
00:11:03,381 --> 00:11:05,355
(Yoo Min Ho)
214
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:18,300
Press your back foot deeper into the plate.
215
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,076
And keep your posture straight.
216
00:11:20,170 --> 00:11:21,276
The power...
217
00:11:22,101 --> 00:11:25,201
The power from your hips is connected to your pitch.
218
00:11:25,201 --> 00:11:26,341
Try another pitch.
219
00:11:26,341 --> 00:11:28,341
I'm going to take this call, so keep practicing.
220
00:11:28,341 --> 00:11:29,615
Yes sir.
221
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:37,755
Don't kick your plate.
222
00:11:37,951 --> 00:11:39,965
That won't make your pitches straighter.
223
00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:43,196
And keep your head in the right direction.
224
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,635
I'm just worried that you might hurt yourself again.
225
00:11:48,660 --> 00:11:50,005
What do you think you're doing?
226
00:11:50,530 --> 00:11:52,231
- What? - I corrected his posture,
227
00:11:52,231 --> 00:11:53,831
so why are you giving him other corrections?
228
00:11:53,831 --> 00:11:54,971
What?
229
00:11:54,971 --> 00:11:56,400
Are you the pitching coach?
230
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,546
Why don't you just become one then? I'll take over your spot.
231
00:12:00,371 --> 00:12:03,916
I'm more educated than you are...
232
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:06,140
and I was the pitching coach for longer than you were.
233
00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:09,451
You're the bench coach now, so mind your own business.
234
00:12:09,451 --> 00:12:10,995
Or just switch positions with me.
235
00:12:12,451 --> 00:12:13,995
What does he think he's doing?
236
00:12:14,221 --> 00:12:16,796
You! Come over here!
237
00:12:44,621 --> 00:12:46,696
(Kang Doo Ki)
238
00:12:49,221 --> 00:12:52,436
Jang Jin Woo's pitches are too messy to practice to.
239
00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:55,765
He hasn't pitched the winning pitch, not even once this year.
240
00:12:56,861 --> 00:12:58,430
- Yes. - Kim Dae Chun...
241
00:12:58,430 --> 00:12:59,806
the starting pitcher for the national team said that.
242
00:13:01,030 --> 00:13:03,546
A fastball doesn't make it a good pitch.
243
00:13:03,940 --> 00:13:06,001
There are balls that go faster...
244
00:13:06,001 --> 00:13:07,471
than the batter expects them to,
245
00:13:07,471 --> 00:13:09,646
making them miss the ball.
246
00:13:10,741 --> 00:13:12,940
There are also pitches that the batter is sure he can hit,
247
00:13:12,940 --> 00:13:15,426
but barely hit and end up as a ground ball.
248
00:13:16,581 --> 00:13:18,855
Doo Ki can strike out the first batter,
249
00:13:19,150 --> 00:13:20,896
then you can block the next.
250
00:13:21,591 --> 00:13:23,995
You can't possibly pitch faster balls than Doo Ki,
251
00:13:24,491 --> 00:13:27,335
so what kind of pitches do you need to pitch to throw batters off?
252
00:13:31,336 --> 00:13:36,336
[VIU Ver] SBS E09 'Hot Stove League'
"Miles Rejects the Offer"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
253
00:13:39,871 --> 00:13:41,115
Coach,
254
00:13:41,571 --> 00:13:43,481
make Chul Min the pitching coach...
255
00:13:43,481 --> 00:13:45,085
and me into the bench coach.
256
00:13:45,341 --> 00:13:47,056
I think he wants to become a pitching coach.
257
00:13:47,711 --> 00:13:50,056
Is it not time for you two to start getting along yet?
258
00:13:55,091 --> 00:13:57,465
Everyone has their own roles.
259
00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:08,576
Where's Mr. Baek?
260
00:14:08,770 --> 00:14:12,046
We need to scout the pitcher that'll pitch the day after Doo Ki.
261
00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:13,316
A pitcher?
262
00:14:14,211 --> 00:14:16,371
Do you think we have enough funding for that?
263
00:14:16,371 --> 00:14:18,615
Seems like Mr. Baek only knows how to make radical changes.
264
00:14:20,211 --> 00:14:21,485
Let's get going.
265
00:14:26,851 --> 00:14:29,390
- Really nice. If you actually... - No, no.
266
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:30,660
You would've had to find that.
267
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:32,991
But I liked her.
268
00:14:32,991 --> 00:14:35,461
But she hasn't known you for long.
269
00:14:35,461 --> 00:14:37,731
Rich.
270
00:14:37,731 --> 00:14:39,361
- Let me borrow some money. - Can you buy me a new car?
271
00:14:39,361 --> 00:14:41,231
- Right. - You're rich?
272
00:14:41,231 --> 00:14:42,946
Everybody is happy.
273
00:14:44,201 --> 00:14:46,885
Miles, can we talk?
274
00:14:49,711 --> 00:14:51,956
Guys, give me a second.
275
00:14:52,111 --> 00:14:53,410
Are you going to be okay?
276
00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:55,310
Guys, it's all good. Don't worry.
277
00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:56,426
We'll take off.
278
00:15:05,591 --> 00:15:06,706
Miles,
279
00:15:07,991 --> 00:15:11,335
the maximum offer we can make is 900,000 dollars.
280
00:15:12,030 --> 00:15:15,706
That's 100,000 dollars lower than what you've been offered.
281
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,375
We'll offer you 900,000 dollars.
282
00:15:19,140 --> 00:15:21,515
It's 100,000 dollars less than the other offer.
283
00:15:22,111 --> 00:15:25,085
Mr. Baek, look, I'm not stupid.
284
00:15:25,381 --> 00:15:27,510
I know I'm not favorable to you...
285
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:29,656
because I've only had a triple A career.
286
00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:31,780
But listen, I know what I can do out there.
287
00:15:31,780 --> 00:15:34,121
This is a good chance for you to catch me...
288
00:15:34,121 --> 00:15:35,696
for just a million dollars.
289
00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:38,936
In fact, to be honest, a million is not even enough.
290
00:15:39,221 --> 00:15:42,036
It's just enough to show me that you're serious.
291
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,635
That's the part that pisses me off right there.
292
00:15:44,831 --> 00:15:48,176
To you, a million is your upper limit.
293
00:15:48,331 --> 00:15:50,201
He says that although he only has...
294
00:15:50,201 --> 00:15:51,871
a triple A career,
295
00:15:51,871 --> 00:15:53,686
a million dollars is still very little for what he can do.
296
00:15:53,711 --> 00:15:56,310
Did you know that the Pelicans replaced their mercenaries...
297
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:57,341
twice last year?
298
00:15:57,341 --> 00:16:00,351
The Pelicans replaced the mercenaries twice last year.
299
00:16:00,351 --> 00:16:01,526
Keep talking.
300
00:16:02,081 --> 00:16:03,855
Meanwhile, the Dreams has...
301
00:16:03,881 --> 00:16:07,125
never replaced our mercenary, not once in the last three years.
302
00:16:07,190 --> 00:16:10,091
This proves that we provide enough time for you.
303
00:16:10,091 --> 00:16:14,190
If you'd like, we'll add this clause to the contract.
304
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:16,601
Why? Do you not have enough money?
305
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:18,760
It's not about the money here,
306
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,446
it's about the impact we can have on your career.
307
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:23,701
You think I might get replaced?
308
00:16:23,701 --> 00:16:24,875
I don't know.
309
00:16:25,501 --> 00:16:27,270
The well-known Mac Miller...
310
00:16:27,270 --> 00:16:29,670
had a great career in Major League,
311
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:31,255
yet in our league,
312
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,186
he got replaced in four months and returned to the US.
313
00:16:34,951 --> 00:16:36,725
And other teams...
314
00:16:36,751 --> 00:16:38,581
don't hesitate in placing the confused foreign players...
315
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:41,326
later in their pitching orders.
316
00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:44,696
It's not about the money, it's about you.
317
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,566
Don't be silly just over 100,000 dollars.
318
00:16:47,861 --> 00:16:50,831
Can you guarantee me on my contract...
319
00:16:50,831 --> 00:16:52,406
that I'll be the starting pitcher?
320
00:16:53,601 --> 00:16:54,906
Absolutely.
321
00:16:55,770 --> 00:16:59,276
The Korean laws outline that a million dollars is the maximum,
322
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:02,546
but that becomes invalid once the foreign player signs again.
323
00:17:02,711 --> 00:17:04,240
If you just last this one season,
324
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,386
even Japan will begin to recognize what a player you are.
325
00:17:07,410 --> 00:17:10,396
Japan has many teams that have a lot of money to offer.
326
00:17:11,881 --> 00:17:14,225
I think you can use your one year being on our team...
327
00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:17,936
as a time to showcase your talent to more people.
328
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,906
Earning 100,000 dollars more now...
329
00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:25,436
won't be much if you think about what you could get later on.
330
00:17:26,460 --> 00:17:28,575
How much do you bet on my success?
331
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:31,045
100 percent.
332
00:17:35,041 --> 00:17:36,186
That's...
333
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:39,956
only under the circumstance that you get to play the whole season.
334
00:17:40,611 --> 00:17:43,285
Again, you're talking in your favor.
335
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,621
You can call up and ask...
336
00:17:46,621 --> 00:17:48,265
your mates who are playing in Korea.
337
00:17:48,490 --> 00:17:49,490
We strictly encourage...
338
00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:52,136
a training system that is individually catered,
339
00:17:53,021 --> 00:17:54,666
but the Pelicans is different.
340
00:17:55,730 --> 00:17:57,160
All their players must partake...
341
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,136
in their group training, and mercenaries are no exception.
342
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,071
Our team has different training programs,
343
00:18:01,071 --> 00:18:02,606
depending on the player's condition.
344
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:04,616
But the Pelicans? They're the opposite.
345
00:18:04,801 --> 00:18:08,785
All right. Still, you're offering me 100,000 dollars less.
346
00:18:09,071 --> 00:18:11,680
I believe the things that I just listed...
347
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,985
are enough to offset the difference of 100,000 dollars.
348
00:18:15,410 --> 00:18:16,485
Am I wrong?
349
00:18:18,021 --> 00:18:19,755
What on earth is happening here?
350
00:18:20,551 --> 00:18:22,896
You're talking to my player without me?
351
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:24,896
Hey, calm down.
352
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:27,166
You've got some nerve.
353
00:18:28,291 --> 00:18:29,535
What are you doing here?
354
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,936
We just came here for beer and bumped into him.
355
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:35,906
That's a darn lie.
356
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:37,545
Wait outside.
357
00:18:46,511 --> 00:18:48,126
You have a good interpreter.
358
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:50,696
It would've been nice if you'd kept it courteous.
359
00:18:50,881 --> 00:18:52,456
It's not like we're strangers, you know.
360
00:18:52,581 --> 00:18:54,666
There was nothing discourteous about it.
361
00:18:57,021 --> 00:18:58,396
I must say, you're a hardworking man.
362
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,035
Let's go.
363
00:19:00,791 --> 00:19:04,305
No wonder I got a sudden urge to sign the contract at this late hour.
364
00:19:05,301 --> 00:19:06,831
What did Mr. Baek say?
365
00:19:06,831 --> 00:19:09,406
He offered me 900,000 dollars.
366
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,876
- Then I won, right? - Let's do it.
367
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:15,215
All right.
368
00:19:17,081 --> 00:19:18,156
Mr. Baek.
369
00:19:21,511 --> 00:19:23,896
I see that you really did your best with that one.
370
00:19:25,051 --> 00:19:28,926
The terms that you offered him seemed pretty good,
371
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:31,596
so I told Miles that we'd put the same terms on his contract.
372
00:19:33,761 --> 00:19:36,190
But can you guarantee that the head coach would agree to...
373
00:19:36,190 --> 00:19:37,606
an individually-catered training program?
374
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,406
- Mr. Baek. - Can you?
375
00:19:39,861 --> 00:19:42,106
Whether it's true or not,
376
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,975
isn't it our problem if Miles decides to put his trust in us?
377
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:46,601
I mean, think about it.
378
00:19:46,601 --> 00:19:49,485
Why do you think he said he has to think about your offer...
379
00:19:49,571 --> 00:19:51,956
when he said okay to me right away?
380
00:19:52,581 --> 00:19:54,755
I bet it's a dual contract that pays better.
381
00:20:02,121 --> 00:20:04,995
We can't waste time worrying about money and not get things done.
382
00:20:06,460 --> 00:20:08,535
Consider this advice a gesture of good will.
383
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:12,136
You should probably look for another mercenary quickly.
384
00:20:33,591 --> 00:20:36,126
They threw in an ad deal and promised him more money.
385
00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:37,890
What?
386
00:20:37,890 --> 00:20:40,305
That means he admitted to offering over a million dollars.
387
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:42,535
That's a dual contract. Let's report him right away.
388
00:20:42,690 --> 00:20:44,636
It'll be pointless.
389
00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:45,906
Why? Why is that?
390
00:20:46,061 --> 00:20:47,470
There are no rules that state...
391
00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:50,106
players can't be paid through ads or commercials.
392
00:20:50,271 --> 00:20:53,170
We made a mistake by simply thinking that the 100,000 dollars...
393
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:54,815
is the only thing we need to offset.
394
00:20:55,571 --> 00:20:58,416
It was a game that we couldn't win to begin with.
395
00:21:00,581 --> 00:21:02,186
"We lost because we didn't have enough money."
396
00:21:03,521 --> 00:21:05,420
"I couldn't go to college because I never had a tutor."
397
00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:06,856
"I lost because I was ill."
398
00:21:07,450 --> 00:21:09,420
Everyone's situation is different,
399
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:11,765
and we all fight with the resources that are available to us.
400
00:21:12,091 --> 00:21:15,166
If we start listing excuses, we'll lose again in the same situation.
401
00:21:17,031 --> 00:21:19,000
We didn't lose to Oh Sa Hun.
402
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,406
We were defeated by the situation that was given to us.
403
00:21:32,311 --> 00:21:34,586
Why don't we just watch a video of Griffin?
404
00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:41,265
I wouldn't say he's an eye-catching player.
405
00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:44,021
Rather, he's the type to enjoy battles of wits,
406
00:21:44,021 --> 00:21:46,136
so I expect that he'll adjust quickly.
407
00:21:46,861 --> 00:21:48,565
And considering that,
408
00:21:48,831 --> 00:21:52,106
we really can't say that Miles is better than him.
409
00:21:52,730 --> 00:21:53,970
The more I watch his videos,
410
00:21:53,970 --> 00:21:55,545
the more I think he's mentally strong.
411
00:22:01,811 --> 00:22:04,586
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
412
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:11,755
Robert.
413
00:22:13,420 --> 00:22:15,426
- Yes. - Thanks for your help today.
414
00:22:15,650 --> 00:22:17,535
I look forward to working with you.
415
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:37,285
Go! Go for it!
416
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,240
- Go! - Go!
417
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,386
- You got this! - Go!
418
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:51,995
Hey.
419
00:22:55,561 --> 00:22:56,636
Hey!
420
00:22:56,761 --> 00:22:58,176
He sure is a pro.
421
00:22:58,730 --> 00:23:01,975
I think he's already established his own training routine.
422
00:23:02,331 --> 00:23:04,541
His corner work is good too.
423
00:23:04,541 --> 00:23:07,285
(Corner work: Throwing the ball toward the strike zone's corners)
424
00:23:09,271 --> 00:23:10,586
Mr. Baek Seung Soo?
425
00:23:15,351 --> 00:23:16,525
Mr. Kim.
426
00:23:17,621 --> 00:23:19,025
What brings you here?
427
00:23:19,121 --> 00:23:21,525
I told you that I was going to California.
428
00:23:22,051 --> 00:23:25,065
Who are you here for?
429
00:23:30,061 --> 00:23:31,136
Pass.
430
00:23:33,631 --> 00:23:35,846
Is it Griffin?
431
00:23:39,801 --> 00:23:40,946
Darn it.
432
00:23:42,811 --> 00:23:43,886
Mr. Baek.
433
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,586
I've only known you for a little while,
434
00:23:46,910 --> 00:23:49,956
but I'll be honest with you because we should help each other out.
435
00:23:50,621 --> 00:23:52,896
You should go find yourself another mercenary.
436
00:23:54,150 --> 00:23:56,065
I'm not trying to say I laid my eyes on him first.
437
00:23:57,091 --> 00:23:59,336
It's just that we don't have plan B if we don't get him,
438
00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:01,336
so we must get him no matter what.
439
00:24:02,091 --> 00:24:05,836
Anyway, I'm just letting you know how determined we are.
440
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,406
- Okay, understood. - You should've told me.
441
00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:12,045
Then you wouldn't have had to waste your time like this.
442
00:24:12,470 --> 00:24:15,515
Why didn't you tell me?
443
00:24:16,111 --> 00:24:18,586
All right. I'll see you in Korea.
444
00:24:30,351 --> 00:24:33,235
Vikings will try to get Griffin no matter what.
445
00:24:33,561 --> 00:24:35,906
Still, we're going to leave without even meeting him?
446
00:24:36,031 --> 00:24:37,331
He basically said,
447
00:24:37,331 --> 00:24:39,505
"You guys can't afford him," in the nicest and most roundabout way.
448
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:44,275
Why confuse a player whom we can't get anyway?
449
00:24:44,341 --> 00:24:46,745
So you no longer think the difference is only 100,000 dollars?
450
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:48,210
Are you giving up?
451
00:24:48,210 --> 00:24:49,846
No, his pitch is weaker than I thought.
452
00:24:51,081 --> 00:24:52,910
The strikeout we saw in the video...
453
00:24:52,910 --> 00:24:55,055
definitely won't happen often.
454
00:24:56,150 --> 00:24:57,720
Even if there are no strikeouts...
455
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,596
I know he can make a groundout happen by throwing a cutter,
456
00:25:01,021 --> 00:25:02,990
but our infield defense is quite weak.
457
00:25:02,990 --> 00:25:04,160
(Cutter: A hard-to-hit fastball)
458
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,791
Vikings' infield defense is strong,
459
00:25:05,791 --> 00:25:07,565
so they don't need to worry about things like that.
460
00:25:08,460 --> 00:25:10,331
I'm sure Mr. Kim Jong Mu knows that too.
461
00:25:10,331 --> 00:25:12,606
All right, let's call it a day.
462
00:25:21,940 --> 00:25:23,045
Hey.
463
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,456
You're getting cold chills? Did you take any medicine?
464
00:25:27,851 --> 00:25:29,456
Right, you can't take medicine.
465
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:30,725
I'm sorry.
466
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,396
Things aren't looking too good now.
467
00:25:35,821 --> 00:25:36,896
Okay.
468
00:25:47,371 --> 00:25:49,005
It's about time you became weak-willed.
469
00:25:49,831 --> 00:25:51,475
No, not at all.
470
00:25:52,470 --> 00:25:54,785
They say you get tougher when things are tough.
471
00:25:55,170 --> 00:25:57,146
I'll be vicious.
472
00:25:57,811 --> 00:25:59,656
I still have so much energy.
473
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:02,255
All right. I'm glad.
474
00:26:03,511 --> 00:26:06,295
By the way, what are we doing for dinner today?
475
00:26:06,650 --> 00:26:08,126
There's a restaurant I saw.
476
00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:09,666
What kind of restaurant?
477
00:26:09,791 --> 00:26:12,396
- Mexican. - Let's have Korean food.
478
00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:17,206
Okay, I saw a Korean restaurant in the area as well.
479
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,035
- They specialize in stews. - I don't want stew.
480
00:26:21,930 --> 00:26:23,206
Well...
481
00:26:24,140 --> 00:26:25,416
You know.
482
00:26:26,101 --> 00:26:28,015
- What? - You know.
483
00:26:30,611 --> 00:26:33,555
What is this about? Is he here to write restaurant reviews?
484
00:26:35,910 --> 00:26:37,456
You must be exhausted from all the driving.
485
00:26:38,150 --> 00:26:39,555
No, I'm fine.
486
00:26:39,781 --> 00:26:40,926
Thank you.
487
00:26:42,121 --> 00:26:44,396
So where are we going for dinner?
488
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,035
Well, what do you want to eat?
489
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:51,676
Well, something spicy that people usually make at home.
490
00:26:52,660 --> 00:26:54,745
- You mean, ramyeon? - Goodness.
491
00:26:58,801 --> 00:27:00,745
Gosh, where can we go...
492
00:27:01,210 --> 00:27:03,815
My place isn't too far from here.
493
00:27:12,351 --> 00:27:14,366
What are you doing? You're not even feeling well.
494
00:27:15,791 --> 00:27:18,696
I fiddled with it for a few minutes to forget my pain.
495
00:27:19,321 --> 00:27:21,336
We have guests. They're outside now.
496
00:27:22,761 --> 00:27:23,836
Now?
497
00:27:32,970 --> 00:27:35,416
My gosh, thank you. Thank you very much.
498
00:27:37,410 --> 00:27:38,956
You must be tired.
499
00:27:40,111 --> 00:27:41,255
Here you go.
500
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,896
- Why don't you join us? - No, it's okay.
501
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,096
Thank you for this.
502
00:27:53,591 --> 00:27:55,190
You have to take a picture, don't you?
503
00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:56,636
Yes, right.
504
00:28:02,631 --> 00:28:04,200
There's a chip. Hold on.
505
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,740
No, it's okay.
506
00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:07,586
It won't get in the way of me eating.
507
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:09,086
Let's eat together.
508
00:29:05,460 --> 00:29:07,876
I don't think we have to meet with Hubbert.
509
00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:10,606
The thing is,
510
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,715
we have lower expectations for the remaining players.
511
00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:16,985
Okay. Let's get going.
512
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:40,376
Is there a problem?
513
00:29:43,271 --> 00:29:44,545
It's the gas.
514
00:29:45,470 --> 00:29:47,485
I think the car will stop soon.
515
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,715
What?
516
00:29:49,841 --> 00:29:51,985
That's okay. It could happen.
517
00:30:11,301 --> 00:30:12,636
Nothing's working out today.
518
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,406
Where are we?
519
00:30:15,601 --> 00:30:16,876
What are we going to do?
520
00:31:02,381 --> 00:31:03,586
Mr. Baek.
521
00:31:15,025 --> 00:31:17,493
522
00:31:17,594 --> 00:31:19,494
(Ads 00:31:17 --> 00:32:47)
523
00:33:21,178 --> 00:33:22,323
Mr. Baek.
524
00:33:40,258 --> 00:33:42,943
(Remaining distance)
525
00:33:48,768 --> 00:33:49,883
No contract.
526
00:33:54,478 --> 00:33:59,693
(Three days ago)
527
00:34:32,277 --> 00:34:33,393
Gosh.
528
00:34:33,678 --> 00:34:36,492
We didn't get the chance in Korea, but we finally get to go on a date.
529
00:34:36,988 --> 00:34:39,092
Who is this Korean punk?
530
00:34:39,118 --> 00:34:40,863
- Get lost. - I mean...
531
00:34:41,588 --> 00:34:44,063
You shouldn't be out alone. It's dangerous.
532
00:34:44,187 --> 00:34:45,333
Aren't you tired?
533
00:34:45,997 --> 00:34:47,202
Why aren't you resting?
534
00:34:48,467 --> 00:34:49,773
How can I sleep?
535
00:34:50,398 --> 00:34:53,042
Maybe we should've persuaded Andy not to go.
536
00:34:53,797 --> 00:34:55,212
It was Mr. Baek's decision to let him go.
537
00:34:56,137 --> 00:34:58,607
It'd be a problem if Mr. Baek was thinking the same.
538
00:34:58,607 --> 00:35:01,683
There are a million things he needs to look after right now.
539
00:35:05,717 --> 00:35:07,422
- What? - Nothing.
540
00:35:08,687 --> 00:35:12,262
That Robert Kill guy... He seems to really like baseball.
541
00:35:13,257 --> 00:35:14,433
What are you saying?
542
00:35:14,888 --> 00:35:18,373
He was friendly with Miles when they met up yesterday.
543
00:35:19,697 --> 00:35:21,503
Don't you know Kill Chang Ju?
544
00:35:22,668 --> 00:35:24,873
Robert is Chang Ju.
545
00:35:26,537 --> 00:35:27,642
What?
546
00:35:44,048 --> 00:35:45,633
You have a long way to go.
547
00:35:45,817 --> 00:35:48,118
I only forgot for a moment.
548
00:35:48,118 --> 00:35:49,963
Of course I know Kill Chang Ju.
549
00:35:51,997 --> 00:35:53,903
If you're trying to go over and act like you know him,
550
00:35:54,127 --> 00:35:55,743
just go inside to sleep.
551
00:35:56,727 --> 00:35:57,868
Why?
552
00:35:57,868 --> 00:35:59,542
He hasn't retired yet.
553
00:36:00,097 --> 00:36:03,683
I think he's practicing so he could return as a player.
554
00:36:04,168 --> 00:36:05,383
Don't bother him.
555
00:36:09,277 --> 00:36:11,253
Aren't you tired? Why are you still up?
556
00:36:11,817 --> 00:36:12,922
Mr. Baek.
557
00:36:13,178 --> 00:36:14,822
Are you taking a walk too?
558
00:36:14,918 --> 00:36:17,163
Yes. I couldn't sleep, so I came out.
559
00:36:17,447 --> 00:36:18,563
I see.
560
00:36:40,708 --> 00:36:42,223
- Hey... - Yes.
561
00:36:42,777 --> 00:36:44,253
I agree with you.
562
00:36:46,977 --> 00:36:49,247
(Kill Chang Ju)
563
00:36:49,247 --> 00:36:51,123
("A Lonely Fall for the Man Who Turned His Back Against Homeland")
564
00:36:54,217 --> 00:36:56,202
("A Lonely Fall for the Man Who Turned His Back Against Homeland")
565
00:37:01,828 --> 00:37:03,227
(A nine-winner pitcher Kill Chang Ju was discharged from Major League.)
566
00:37:03,227 --> 00:37:04,527
(After the national youth finals in 2008, he received surgery...)
567
00:37:04,527 --> 00:37:07,012
(He was in 2 youth teams, participated in 2 WBCs, and was...)
568
00:37:15,848 --> 00:37:17,207
He's good.
569
00:37:17,207 --> 00:37:19,548
Out of the pitches we've seen on our trip...
570
00:37:19,548 --> 00:37:21,722
Let me make a quick trip to my room.
571
00:37:22,418 --> 00:37:24,462
Hey, where are you going?
572
00:37:40,497 --> 00:37:42,282
Did you know this from the beginning?
573
00:37:44,707 --> 00:37:47,212
I considered telling you,
574
00:37:48,108 --> 00:37:51,993
but I feel like it doesn't really have anything to do with you.
575
00:37:53,317 --> 00:37:54,678
How did you know?
576
00:37:54,678 --> 00:37:55,962
Well,
577
00:37:56,348 --> 00:37:58,793
it's the way he was analyzing.
578
00:37:59,218 --> 00:38:01,933
He knew too much for someone who's not a player.
579
00:38:02,988 --> 00:38:06,173
So I asked to shake his hands and he had pitcher's hands.
580
00:38:11,267 --> 00:38:12,512
Hey!
581
00:38:25,517 --> 00:38:27,253
Make sure to pitch with all your might.
582
00:38:27,377 --> 00:38:29,848
You're going too far.
583
00:38:29,848 --> 00:38:31,988
It's okay, I've got good equipment.
584
00:38:31,988 --> 00:38:33,358
I don't think that's a good idea.
585
00:38:33,358 --> 00:38:34,563
I'll be fine.
586
00:38:40,997 --> 00:38:42,173
I'm ready.
587
00:39:09,528 --> 00:39:11,457
This is nice to see.
588
00:39:11,457 --> 00:39:12,933
Are you all right?
589
00:39:14,558 --> 00:39:16,443
Are you sure you can take another one?
590
00:39:18,028 --> 00:39:19,313
No.
591
00:39:19,767 --> 00:39:22,243
Sorry we interrupted your practice.
592
00:39:22,437 --> 00:39:23,608
It's fine.
593
00:39:23,608 --> 00:39:25,553
How's your elbow?
594
00:39:26,108 --> 00:39:28,582
- What? - Your elbow ligament surgery.
595
00:39:31,577 --> 00:39:32,753
Well,
596
00:39:34,278 --> 00:39:36,462
I pitch every night because I'm scared.
597
00:39:37,418 --> 00:39:41,218
I just want to make sure that the doctor is right.
598
00:39:41,218 --> 00:39:42,363
I'm fine.
599
00:39:42,858 --> 00:39:45,003
That's good to hear.
600
00:39:45,197 --> 00:39:46,633
You're a hard worker.
601
00:39:47,457 --> 00:39:49,272
This is all I have.
602
00:39:49,468 --> 00:39:51,428
My hands don't lie.
603
00:39:51,428 --> 00:39:53,543
You know how I took Miles' pitch a few days ago, right?
604
00:39:54,197 --> 00:39:55,383
Thank you.
605
00:39:55,608 --> 00:39:58,412
And this wasn't your full-on pitch, was it?
606
00:39:59,877 --> 00:40:01,377
It was.
607
00:40:01,377 --> 00:40:04,353
I don't think you'd throw a full-on pitch to a rookie like me.
608
00:40:04,848 --> 00:40:06,753
Hold on.
609
00:40:06,918 --> 00:40:08,377
You can't retire like this.
610
00:40:08,377 --> 00:40:09,687
You could play in an American team or even a Korean one.
611
00:40:09,687 --> 00:40:10,762
Hey!
612
00:40:10,918 --> 00:40:12,032
What?
613
00:40:13,918 --> 00:40:15,933
That's very kind of you,
614
00:40:17,757 --> 00:40:20,497
but I'm an American citizen.
615
00:40:20,497 --> 00:40:23,642
Why can't you just become a naturalized Korean?
616
00:40:24,868 --> 00:40:26,943
That's a complicated process...
617
00:40:27,137 --> 00:40:29,767
and even if I can return, the league will punish me...
618
00:40:29,767 --> 00:40:31,282
so that I can't play for any team.
619
00:40:32,108 --> 00:40:34,412
What team would want to take someone like me?
620
00:40:34,437 --> 00:40:36,123
Punish you?
621
00:40:36,877 --> 00:40:38,082
I...
622
00:40:38,747 --> 00:40:41,353
didn't end on a good note in Korea when I moved to the US.
623
00:40:42,087 --> 00:40:43,722
I didn't know,
624
00:40:43,988 --> 00:40:47,462
but my team didn't do a background check on me...
625
00:40:47,558 --> 00:40:50,233
and the contract I signed in grade 10 was invalid.
626
00:40:51,827 --> 00:40:54,303
I'm currently permanently banned from playing in Korea.
627
00:40:54,397 --> 00:40:57,642
Why didn't you request an appeal when you were playing here?
628
00:40:57,798 --> 00:41:00,497
If you wanted to return to Korea...
629
00:41:00,497 --> 00:41:03,012
Even if I sort that out,
630
00:41:03,267 --> 00:41:04,483
I'll...
631
00:41:06,278 --> 00:41:08,412
still be someone who fled from military conscription.
632
00:41:14,778 --> 00:41:17,687
You've finally become a rookie pitcher...
633
00:41:17,687 --> 00:41:19,733
that's loved in Major League,
634
00:41:22,288 --> 00:41:25,902
so enlisting probably isn't appealing at all.
635
00:41:26,597 --> 00:41:28,743
But people...
636
00:41:28,867 --> 00:41:32,613
have said that they'd understand if you decide to return to Korea.
637
00:41:37,067 --> 00:41:38,282
To tell you the truth,
638
00:41:40,308 --> 00:41:42,723
my wife was quite ill back then.
639
00:41:44,607 --> 00:41:47,753
She had a tumor in her heart and needed a transplant,
640
00:41:48,317 --> 00:41:50,723
but the waitlist in Korea was far too long.
641
00:41:52,587 --> 00:41:54,617
I couldn't possibly leave my ill wife behind...
642
00:41:54,617 --> 00:41:57,233
and return to Korea to enlist in the army.
643
00:41:57,428 --> 00:41:59,573
Had I returned to Korea then,
644
00:42:02,528 --> 00:42:04,802
my wife wouldn't be here with me now.
645
00:42:06,437 --> 00:42:09,642
Why did you never even explain yourself to the press?
646
00:42:10,408 --> 00:42:13,213
It was my choice to be with my wife,
647
00:42:14,138 --> 00:42:17,383
so I didn't want people to criticize my wife for my choice.
648
00:42:19,148 --> 00:42:22,593
Thankfully, my wife is a lot healthier now,
649
00:42:23,388 --> 00:42:25,792
so I have no regrets. I'll just have to bear with the hate.
650
00:42:27,617 --> 00:42:29,532
It must've looked like I was being so selfish.
651
00:42:30,388 --> 00:42:32,833
No, I am selfish.
652
00:42:33,398 --> 00:42:35,373
I don't expect Koreans to forgive me.
653
00:42:36,567 --> 00:42:38,912
I shouldn't even say that I'll make up for that with baseball.
654
00:42:40,197 --> 00:42:42,268
Making up for my actions that upset so many...
655
00:42:42,268 --> 00:42:44,142
by doing something I love?
656
00:42:46,077 --> 00:42:47,613
That doesn't make any sense.
657
00:42:48,408 --> 00:42:51,552
Then do you plan on playing baseball in the US...
658
00:42:51,947 --> 00:42:53,892
and never ask for forgiveness?
659
00:42:53,977 --> 00:42:56,947
You know how Korean players...
660
00:42:56,947 --> 00:42:59,532
in Major League say...
661
00:42:59,888 --> 00:43:01,733
that they'd like to retire in Korea?
662
00:43:03,928 --> 00:43:06,873
But I don't even deserve to say that.
663
00:43:07,028 --> 00:43:10,203
A man can dream.
664
00:43:10,628 --> 00:43:13,573
It wasn't just your injury, you were going downhill before that too.
665
00:43:20,378 --> 00:43:21,652
But I'm...
666
00:43:22,347 --> 00:43:24,282
not giving up on myself.
667
00:43:25,477 --> 00:43:27,152
My wife is pregnant.
668
00:43:30,817 --> 00:43:32,833
I have one more family to take care of now.
669
00:43:34,317 --> 00:43:37,103
Although that makes me feel pressure,
670
00:43:37,827 --> 00:43:40,402
I have to do it for my wife, who has trusted me unconditionally,
671
00:43:41,727 --> 00:43:44,003
and the baby that's going to be born soon.
672
00:43:46,737 --> 00:43:48,042
The thought of those two cheers me up.
673
00:43:56,508 --> 00:43:58,682
You should've told me.
674
00:43:59,018 --> 00:44:00,823
Then you wouldn't have had to waste your time like this.
675
00:44:00,878 --> 00:44:02,292
I'll see you in Korea.
676
00:44:02,587 --> 00:44:05,062
Okay. I'm sorry.
677
00:44:07,518 --> 00:44:08,733
It's fine.
678
00:44:09,457 --> 00:44:11,288
No need to be sorry.
679
00:44:11,288 --> 00:44:13,733
I don't think we have to meet with Hubbert.
680
00:44:14,398 --> 00:44:15,703
Let's get going.
681
00:44:18,197 --> 00:44:20,798
Maybe it's bad that we watched Chang Ju's pitch that night.
682
00:44:20,798 --> 00:44:22,213
Our standards are too high now.
683
00:44:25,138 --> 00:44:27,983
We won't take a player that doesn't meet our standards.
684
00:44:28,908 --> 00:44:30,253
So that wasn't bad at all.
685
00:44:31,648 --> 00:44:34,152
So where are we going for dinner?
686
00:44:34,518 --> 00:44:37,792
Well, what do you want to eat?
687
00:44:37,817 --> 00:44:39,317
Well, something spicy...
688
00:44:39,317 --> 00:44:41,292
that people usually make at home.
689
00:44:42,227 --> 00:44:43,463
You mean, ramyeon?
690
00:44:54,268 --> 00:44:56,713
My gosh, thank you. Thank you very much.
691
00:44:59,638 --> 00:45:02,083
Why don't you join us?
692
00:45:02,178 --> 00:45:04,107
No, it's okay.
693
00:45:04,107 --> 00:45:05,453
Thank you for this.
694
00:45:12,187 --> 00:45:14,292
(According to last year's Foreign Player Recruitment Rules...)
695
00:45:14,687 --> 00:45:16,727
I've looked over last year's Foreign Player...
696
00:45:16,727 --> 00:45:19,133
Recruitment Rules,
697
00:45:19,697 --> 00:45:21,802
and I didn't see anything that'd hold us back.
698
00:45:22,498 --> 00:45:26,973
Yes, so I'd like to request the ban on the player...
699
00:45:27,697 --> 00:45:29,483
from playing on the field to be lifted.
700
00:45:35,207 --> 00:45:36,323
Mr. Baek...
701
00:45:37,878 --> 00:45:40,093
There's a gas station in 5km thankfully.
702
00:45:40,217 --> 00:45:42,562
Really? What a relief.
703
00:45:42,617 --> 00:45:45,587
I'll go fetch some gas. You can sit and rest over there meanwhile.
704
00:45:45,587 --> 00:45:47,292
You're going alone?
705
00:45:48,288 --> 00:45:50,133
That sounded like you're telling me to go with him.
706
00:45:51,028 --> 00:45:54,802
No, why don't I just run the 5km instead?
707
00:45:54,928 --> 00:45:56,203
I'll go.
708
00:45:57,867 --> 00:45:59,538
I'll feel bad if you can't keep up,
709
00:45:59,538 --> 00:46:00,737
so I'll just be quick.
710
00:46:00,737 --> 00:46:04,012
I'm athletic enough for people to think that I'm a player too.
711
00:46:04,038 --> 00:46:05,213
Let's get going.
712
00:46:18,347 --> 00:46:19,963
He's a hard worker.
713
00:46:22,187 --> 00:46:25,573
I guess when men get married,
714
00:46:26,058 --> 00:46:28,203
they become infinitely responsible like him.
715
00:46:29,867 --> 00:46:32,442
Some men do, some men don't.
716
00:46:33,197 --> 00:46:34,772
Right.
717
00:46:35,038 --> 00:46:36,367
Married or not,
718
00:46:36,367 --> 00:46:39,083
the weaker I get, the harder it gets for people around me.
719
00:46:39,937 --> 00:46:43,682
He probably accepted the fact that he's no superhero long ago.
720
00:46:44,148 --> 00:46:46,253
He just hopes that he can be someone...
721
00:46:47,018 --> 00:46:49,262
who can at least protect his loved ones near him.
722
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:56,932
Is that Mr. Ko?
723
00:46:57,227 --> 00:46:58,333
No.
724
00:46:59,327 --> 00:47:00,473
Then who is it?
725
00:47:02,398 --> 00:47:04,343
Yes, this is General Manager Baek speaking.
726
00:47:05,268 --> 00:47:06,573
Yes.
727
00:47:07,467 --> 00:47:08,873
Really?
728
00:47:10,207 --> 00:47:11,713
Yes sir.
729
00:47:11,967 --> 00:47:13,113
Bye.
730
00:47:14,678 --> 00:47:17,282
Let's get to work.
731
00:47:21,317 --> 00:47:24,717
He'd like to receive feedback on the pitch as soon as possible.
732
00:47:24,717 --> 00:47:25,892
As soon as you watch it.
733
00:47:26,158 --> 00:47:29,503
Miles? We can take him in as long as he's not injured.
734
00:47:29,888 --> 00:47:32,203
What? Who's that?
735
00:47:34,998 --> 00:47:36,672
It's Kill Chang Ju.
736
00:47:37,867 --> 00:47:40,272
Why did he send that to us?
737
00:47:41,197 --> 00:47:42,642
He's for our number two starting pitcher.
738
00:47:43,138 --> 00:47:45,008
I thought we were recruiting a foreign player.
739
00:47:45,008 --> 00:47:46,383
He's American.
740
00:47:47,178 --> 00:47:49,347
But how is this possible?
741
00:47:49,347 --> 00:47:51,453
The baseball association has lifted the suspension.
742
00:47:52,248 --> 00:47:53,922
Even so,
743
00:47:54,248 --> 00:47:57,522
morally speaking... The most basic moral rules make up the law.
744
00:47:57,687 --> 00:48:00,493
I agree with you for a change. This is wrong!
745
00:48:02,987 --> 00:48:04,733
The posture from his prime is back.
746
00:48:04,758 --> 00:48:06,703
And he can now shift weight very naturally.
747
00:48:06,957 --> 00:48:08,457
His pitches look pretty strong.
748
00:48:08,457 --> 00:48:10,442
But there's no guarantee that he'll adjust well.
749
00:48:11,327 --> 00:48:13,012
I mean, he's pitching without a batter.
750
00:48:13,597 --> 00:48:15,542
Do you want people to speak ill of us the whole season?
751
00:48:15,668 --> 00:48:17,182
Is the general manager insane or what?
752
00:48:17,508 --> 00:48:20,083
Are you not afraid of being criticized for being an inept team?
753
00:48:21,207 --> 00:48:22,778
- What did you just say? - Look.
754
00:48:22,778 --> 00:48:25,918
Let's stop putting up with the criticism that we're inept.
755
00:48:25,918 --> 00:48:29,093
I'd much rather be criticized for something else other than baseball.
756
00:48:29,888 --> 00:48:31,022
Yong Gu and Chul Min.
757
00:48:32,148 --> 00:48:34,692
- Yes, sir. - Watch carefully.
758
00:48:39,428 --> 00:48:40,902
Can we really find a better mercenary?
759
00:48:41,758 --> 00:48:43,672
Even for a million dollars?
760
00:48:46,138 --> 00:48:47,213
I...
761
00:48:47,898 --> 00:48:49,182
don't think we can.

-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
763
00:49:17,768 --> 00:49:18,873
I'm sorry I took too long.
764
00:49:19,097 --> 00:49:21,237
We'll use this for the time being and head over...
765
00:49:21,237 --> 00:49:22,442
to the nearest gas station.
766
00:49:23,107 --> 00:49:25,383
It's okay. We're not really in a rush.
767
00:49:26,778 --> 00:49:28,353
We have a long way ahead of us though.
768
00:49:28,437 --> 00:49:31,083
Chang Ju, I'm curious about something.
769
00:49:31,577 --> 00:49:33,317
- What is it? - Did you know...
770
00:49:33,317 --> 00:49:35,892
that the association lifted the suspension eight years ago?
771
00:49:37,087 --> 00:49:38,162
No, I did not.
772
00:49:38,587 --> 00:49:40,532
I only found out about it just now myself.
773
00:49:41,957 --> 00:49:43,658
I perused Article 9 and 10 as well as...
774
00:49:43,658 --> 00:49:46,272
Chapter 9 and 10 of the Foreign Player Recruitment Rules...
775
00:49:46,628 --> 00:49:47,998
and didn't see any problems,
776
00:49:47,998 --> 00:49:49,902
so I asked them to lift the suspension.
777
00:49:50,227 --> 00:49:51,473
But why...
778
00:49:54,138 --> 00:49:56,142
I'd like to make a proposition.
779
00:50:50,258 --> 00:50:52,133
(Foreign Player Contract)
780
00:50:52,657 --> 00:50:55,172
We're offering you 500,000 dollars.
781
00:50:55,357 --> 00:50:57,543
There are many reasons. First off,
782
00:50:58,367 --> 00:51:01,442
you haven't received any other offers.
783
00:51:01,938 --> 00:51:03,038
I know I'll sound like a jerk,
784
00:51:03,038 --> 00:51:05,083
but the one who has less to offer should sacrifice.
785
00:51:05,468 --> 00:51:06,553
The second reason.
786
00:51:07,208 --> 00:51:08,637
If we recruit you,
787
00:51:08,637 --> 00:51:10,383
we'll face criticism.
788
00:51:11,147 --> 00:51:13,778
Once the season begins,
789
00:51:13,778 --> 00:51:15,593
everyone will understand why we recruited you.
790
00:51:15,887 --> 00:51:19,093
But there's too much time left until we get to that point.
791
00:51:19,518 --> 00:51:21,288
We can justify our decision if we can tell people...
792
00:51:21,288 --> 00:51:22,962
that we recruited you for 500,000 dollars.
793
00:51:24,028 --> 00:51:25,087
The third reason.
794
00:51:25,087 --> 00:51:27,857
We were going to recruit a player who can give us 15 wins...
795
00:51:27,857 --> 00:51:29,642
for 500,000 dollars.
796
00:51:30,327 --> 00:51:32,712
We'd like to achieve that goal and return home.
797
00:51:36,407 --> 00:51:37,482
I...
798
00:51:40,508 --> 00:51:41,613
I'm...
799
00:51:43,577 --> 00:51:45,323
I'm not sure what to say.
800
00:51:47,048 --> 00:51:50,323
I can't believe this is happening, so I don't know if I can say this,
801
00:51:52,587 --> 00:51:54,692
but I'm afraid I'm hesitant to sign the contract.
802
00:51:59,657 --> 00:52:01,232
Is the amount I'm offering too little?
803
00:52:02,127 --> 00:52:03,702
"What will those who served in the military..."
804
00:52:04,968 --> 00:52:07,242
"and their families think of me?"
805
00:52:09,738 --> 00:52:11,543
I wondered that every time...
806
00:52:12,708 --> 00:52:14,952
I wanted to go back to Korea, and it helped me hold out until now.
807
00:52:15,808 --> 00:52:18,982
But now that the thought has been ingrained in my head,
808
00:52:19,917 --> 00:52:22,323
I really don't think I can go back.
809
00:52:23,688 --> 00:52:26,563
If I return to Korea as a mercenary,
810
00:52:30,728 --> 00:52:33,333
I'll have to throw pitches as Robert Kill.
811
00:52:36,097 --> 00:52:38,603
I can't do that to my parents.
812
00:52:46,238 --> 00:52:48,283
People will think I came back because I failed.
813
00:52:51,577 --> 00:52:53,853
That's what I fear the most.
814
00:52:54,518 --> 00:52:55,892
My goodness.
815
00:52:57,387 --> 00:53:01,492
Then why have you been training so hard? What for?
816
00:53:02,288 --> 00:53:04,263
For the sole goal of returning to the Major League?
817
00:53:04,627 --> 00:53:06,033
If I manage...
818
00:53:07,827 --> 00:53:10,103
to score well in the Major League,
819
00:53:12,938 --> 00:53:14,373
then people will welcome me back...
820
00:53:14,637 --> 00:53:16,667
Do you think they hate you...
821
00:53:16,667 --> 00:53:19,613
because of low scores?
822
00:53:22,607 --> 00:53:23,682
You're wrong.
823
00:53:25,748 --> 00:53:28,152
It's because you didn't fulfill your military duties,
824
00:53:29,417 --> 00:53:31,823
not because of your scores or abilities.
825
00:53:34,688 --> 00:53:38,533
If you still don't want to be hated by anyone,
826
00:53:39,028 --> 00:53:42,073
then I'm not sure if you're truly desperate for a comeback.
827
00:53:43,968 --> 00:53:45,103
You see,
828
00:53:46,397 --> 00:53:48,498
I made the proposition, thinking and hoping that your desperation...
829
00:53:48,498 --> 00:53:49,813
will help you with your pitches.
830
00:53:51,067 --> 00:53:53,412
Do you think I made the decision rashly?
831
00:53:54,877 --> 00:53:56,152
Chang Ju.
832
00:53:57,677 --> 00:53:59,952
Do you really have no reason to be desperate?
833
00:55:09,147 --> 00:55:11,392
What's wrong? What happened?
834
00:55:18,157 --> 00:55:20,172
I can play baseball again.
835
00:55:21,998 --> 00:55:24,172
The general manager wants me on his team.
836
00:55:38,407 --> 00:55:41,718
I was so scared thinking that you might have to...
837
00:55:41,718 --> 00:55:44,793
give up baseball for good because of me.

00:57:20,847 --> 00:57:23,293
That is why I already scheduled a press conference,
864
00:57:24,048 --> 00:57:25,293
so you should head out first.
865
00:57:26,917 --> 00:57:28,563
So you like to cause a stir to get attention.
866
00:57:31,258 --> 00:57:33,373

00:57:33,558 --> 00:57:35,472
- Coming through. - Look at the camera!
868
00:57:35,657 --> 00:57:38,543
How do you feel to be back in Korea as a foreign player?
869
00:57:38,827 --> 00:57:40,637
You haven't stood on the mount for years.
870

Do you think you can make a comeback as a pitcher?
871
00:57:42,397 --> 00:57:44,343
- Why did you... - Hold your head up high.
872
00:57:46,278 --> 00:57:48,677
Didn't you decide to come back to throw pitches on the mound...
873

874

00:58:35,117 --> 00:58:39,033
I'd like to know if you believe that this was your best choice.
888
00:58:39,058 --> 00:58:42,157
I believe so, among the choices that we had.
889
00:58:42,157 --> 00:58:44,827
Have you considered how the general public may feel?
890
00:58:44,827 --> 00:58:48,238
We recruited the best pitcher we could,
891
00:58:48,238 --> 00:58:50,738
not someone who had a perfect past.
892
00:58:50,738 --> 00:58:52,438
Does that mean that you don't care about the past...
893
00:58:52,438 --> 00:58:54,313
as long as he's good at playing baseball?
894
00:58:54,478 --> 00:58:57,482
I obviously signed him because I believe he'll be good.
895
00:58:57,577 --> 00:58:58,682
And...
896
00:58:59,008 --> 00:59:01,147
nothing matters as long as he's a good player?
897
00:59:01,147 --> 00:59:03,222
Does anybody actually believe that?
898
00:59:07,887 --> 00:59:10,232
I'm Lee Se Young and I'm the Operations Manager.
899
00:59:11,357 --> 00:59:14,103
I've watched Chang Ju closely for the past few days...
900
00:59:14,397 --> 00:59:16,597
and he's a responsible leader of his family...
901
00:59:16,597 --> 00:59:18,773
that isn't stuck in his glorious past.
902
00:59:18,897 --> 00:59:21,972
He's a man who regrets and is embarrassed about his past.
903
00:59:22,567 --> 00:59:23,907
The reason he stuck through his difficult life in the US...
904
00:59:23,907 --> 00:59:27,283
instead of returning to Korea was for that same exact reason.
905
00:59:29,238 --> 00:59:30,982
We were the ones who convinced him to return.
906
00:59:33,077 --> 00:59:35,147
I'm Reporter Jung Seung Geun of Jungdong News.
907
00:59:35,147 --> 00:59:38,063
Chang Ju, who unlawfully avoided military enlistment,
908
00:59:38,417 --> 00:59:40,958
is returning to Korea and playing baseball again.
909
00:59:40,958 --> 00:59:44,202
Have you thought about how other lawfully-enlisted men would feel?
910
00:59:51,268 --> 00:59:52,902
Jungdong News, you say?
911
00:59:54,768 --> 00:59:56,367
I will not deny that Chang Ju could have angered...
912
00:59:56,367 --> 00:59:58,513
some Korean men because they enlisted and he didn't.
913
00:59:58,708 --> 01:00:00,182
I know...
914
01:00:00,308 --> 01:00:02,313
and so does Chang Ju himself.
915
01:00:03,308 --> 01:00:05,682
He's going to have to...
916
01:00:06,347 --> 01:00:08,222
bear more hate than the son of a CEO of a news press,
917
01:00:08,317 --> 01:00:10,523
who avoided enlistment with supposedly high blood pressure,
918
01:00:11,087 --> 01:00:12,647
or another man who avoided enlistment...
919
01:00:12,647 --> 01:00:15,232
by being the son of a politician.
920
01:00:17,258 --> 01:00:21,573
However, there was a player who had a bright future.
921
01:00:21,958 --> 01:00:24,543
He was the ace pitcher in Korea's national youth team...
922
01:00:24,867 --> 01:00:27,742
and pitched in four games, including the preliminary ones.
923
01:00:28,238 --> 01:00:30,107
He pitched the winning pitches in the semi-finals...
924
01:00:30,107 --> 01:00:32,813
but was the supporting pitcher in the finals.
925
01:00:32,938 --> 01:00:35,607
The team won,
926
01:00:35,607 --> 01:00:37,452
but the kid injured his elbow ligament.
927
01:00:37,677 --> 01:00:39,508
He went to the US...
928
01:00:39,508 --> 01:00:41,293
to recover from the injury,
929
01:00:41,917 --> 01:00:44,892
which he did, then he soars...
930
01:00:45,948 --> 01:00:47,833
and finally gets his talent recognized.
931
01:00:48,788 --> 01:00:52,702
But it's time for him to enlist in the military service,
932
01:00:53,028 --> 01:00:56,873
although he just became Major League's best rookie pitcher.
933
01:00:59,097 --> 01:01:01,113
Around that time, according to a public survey,
934
01:01:01,567 --> 01:01:05,008
70 percent of people responded that they'd understand if he returns.
935
01:01:05,008 --> 01:01:08,182
Are you saying that it justifies his naturalization?
936
01:01:08,708 --> 01:01:10,907
I'm probably giving this very long response...
937
01:01:10,907 --> 01:01:13,077
because I know that this won't justify the naturalization.
938
01:01:13,077 --> 01:01:14,192
What is he talking about?
939
01:01:15,147 --> 01:01:18,048
Perhaps it's because he believed in that survey too much.
940
01:01:18,048 --> 01:01:20,087
So he made the choice to return to Korea,
941
01:01:20,087 --> 01:01:23,202
only to have his elbow ligaments get bad again.
942
01:01:23,587 --> 01:01:25,863
So he got kicked out of the team...
943
01:01:26,087 --> 01:01:28,357
and his baseball career came to a stop.
944
01:01:28,357 --> 01:01:30,897
Are you saying that he sacrificed his elbow ligaments for the country?
945
01:01:30,897 --> 01:01:33,672
You sound like you're saying that Korea should make up for him.
946
01:01:33,738 --> 01:01:35,337
No, I'm saying that after all of this happening,
947
01:01:35,337 --> 01:01:37,642
this man still wants to keep playing baseball.
948
01:01:38,008 --> 01:01:41,077
He wants to keep playing, even as a foreign player.
949
01:01:41,077 --> 01:01:42,978
Do you think that'll be enough to convince the fans?
950
01:01:42,978 --> 01:01:45,982
Even if you win gold in Asian Games,
951
01:01:46,248 --> 01:01:48,248
even if you were just on the national team once,
952
01:01:48,248 --> 01:01:50,623
you're exempted from enlistment and can continue playing your sport.
953
01:01:51,087 --> 01:01:53,392
The National Assembly recently began...
954
01:01:53,417 --> 01:01:55,617
talking about possibly turning this...
955
01:01:55,617 --> 01:01:57,833
into a mileage system instead.
956
01:01:58,387 --> 01:02:02,073
Chang Ju here played for the national youth team twice,
957
01:02:02,097 --> 01:02:03,798
then twice at WBC.
958
01:02:03,798 --> 01:02:06,897
That means he represented our country four times.
959
01:02:06,897 --> 01:02:09,513
Are you belittling the gold medallists of Asian Games?
960
01:02:10,337 --> 01:02:12,682
Miles, Griffin.
961
01:02:13,538 --> 01:02:16,038
Foreigners who have never even been to Korea before...
962
01:02:16,038 --> 01:02:18,323
will be playing on our fields as foreign players.
963
01:02:20,377 --> 01:02:23,718
I hope that you will allow Chang Ju here...
964
01:02:23,718 --> 01:02:25,617
to play as one of them, under the same conditions as them,
965
01:02:25,617 --> 01:02:28,093
though he has represented our country four times.
966
01:02:28,117 --> 01:02:29,932
It's not Kill Chang Ju.
967
01:02:30,087 --> 01:02:33,732
It's Robert Kill we'll have playing on our fields.
968
01:02:39,298 --> 01:02:42,313
May I ask one last question?
969
01:02:47,438 --> 01:02:49,313
I'm Kim Young Chae of Baseball Life.
970
01:02:50,808 --> 01:02:53,952
Don't you think there's a way to have your apology accepted?
971
01:02:57,347 --> 01:03:00,833
What do you think about enlisting now?
972
01:03:42,127 --> 01:03:44,067
(Hot Stove League)
973
01:03:44,067 --> 01:03:45,597
Did we bring in a foreign player with issues?
974
01:03:45,597 --> 01:03:47,968
You think a good player would join our team for 500,000 dollars?
975
01:03:47,968 --> 01:03:49,468
The reporters probably don't like him either.
976
01:03:49,468 --> 01:03:51,038
I have a lot of questions.
977
01:03:51,038 --> 01:03:52,468
Yes, he ran away.
978
01:03:52,468 --> 01:03:55,877
They think asking a rude question is journalism.
979
01:03:55,877 --> 01:03:58,048
Why did you take me in?
980
01:03:58,048 --> 01:03:59,478
Who helps who?
981
01:03:59,478 --> 01:04:02,077
Just do your job.
982
01:04:02,077 --> 01:04:03,788
You crossed the line earlier.
983
01:04:03,788 --> 01:04:06,417
If I were in his shoes, could I have told myself that it's not my fault?
984
01:04:06,417 --> 01:04:08,887
You're a smart guy, we're surely related.
985
01:04:08,887 --> 01:04:11,627
How could you do this without proper reasons?
986
01:04:11,627 --> 01:04:14,958
Just in case you're wondering why a smart guy is asking again.
987
01:04:14,958 --> 01:04:17,127
I'm speaking on behalf of our company,
988
01:04:17,127 --> 01:04:19,073
who's wondering if you really have to do this.
