Stove League (스토브리그)

He's an artist that demonstrates

great music as he gets on a flow.

I hope that we're able to end the year safely.

Yes.

That's great.

Continuing with the offense by the Dreams.

It's the fourth hitter, Lim Dong-gyu.

The first batter's box is covered by the left fielder.

The second batter was once called out near the third base.

The previous batting was excellent.

-Yes. -It was caught by the defense, so…

Cold beer and lamb skewers!

-I'll make a call. -Great.

What's going on?

It's ridiculous.

And so, I did call.

OPERATIONS MANAGER

The Vikings already scored

their path to the playoffs.

They're facing the Dreams,

who scored last for the fourth year in a row.

-They don't even come close. -No.

Second place versus last place.

It looks like the Dreams are in a tough situation.

LIM DONG-GYU

Lim Dong-gyu!

Run like the wind!

The Dreams' fourth batter, Lim Dong-gyu, is entering.

Him walking out into the field is enough for the fans to go wild.

Will he be able to hit Kim Kwan-sik's ball?

-He's a sidearm pitcher. -We'll see.

So far, he has a score of two bats and one hit.

TWO BATS AND ONE HIT

Lim Dong-gyu, home run!

It's Kim Kwan-sik's first throw.

The ball was kept close to the body.

I feel like Kim Kwan-sik's throw toward the batter's body

was done on purpose

in order to put more emphasis on the ball going to the side.

Yes.

It's his second ball.

He hits the ball, and it is flying high in the air!

It goes…

-It flew out. -beyond the field!

It's Lim Dong-gyu's 40th home run!

Lim Dong-gyu is surely good…

Since Kim Kwan-sik is a sidearm pitcher,

and Lim Dong-gyu bats on the right,

so you said it'd be difficult for him to hit it.

But Lim Dong-gyu made use of his smooth swing

and pushed it to the right.

-It was his 40th home run. -Yes.

When the ball came toward his body,

do you think he expected it to fly to the side?

If it's an athlete of his caliber,

I'm sure he expected the second ball would go to his side

after the first one flew right toward him.

That's what I think.

He's basically the foreman of the Dreams.

He's really amazing.

Hello.

LIM DONG-GYU

THE LIM DONG-GYU BURGER

-I'll have a Lim Dong-gyu Burger. -Okay.

Seriously.

Hey. Were you trying to hit me?

It's not like that.

-I'm sorry. -Never mind.

How could I get mad at your team? I pity your team.

Excuse me?

Lighten up.

Do you not know your manners when you're in last place?

Here.

Are you going to give up?

The game isn't over yet.

Well, would you like to put Kang in?

Hey. Show some respect to the manager.

BENCH COACH LEE CHUL-MIN

You should speak out when it's time to talk.

Our manager must be very tired.

Hey! You fools.

Let's go!

Choi Woo-hyuk is in position.

Jang Jin-woo is getting ready. The runner is at first base.

The outer ball is coming from the right.

He's running up front and going back.

But the ball!

It falls in front of him.

Come on.

His first bat was executed in a wrong way,

and that's why he's running all over the place.

-Yes. -He made the wrong first decision.

Let's go!

The batter is Lee Bo-sung.

The ball is being caught by Jang Dong-min!

The ball fell after it hit his palm.

The second base!

But the ball doesn't go where it should.

This round of batting leaves much to be desired.

This shouldn't have been difficult.

This round of batting should have made the right mark.

At the batter's block is Choi Jun-sun.

It's going to the first base,

but to no avail!

The ball did not land.

The ball lands between the right fielder and the center fielder!

We can see at this very moment

why the Dreams is in last place.

-Yes. -Seriously.

SEO YEONG-JU

JANG JIN-WOO

The last match is approaching.

The fans are slowly getting up out of their seats.

You can understand how the fans are feeling.

Yes.

The fans don't want to pay a lot of money to see such an underwhelming match.

The mascot seems to be tired as well. I've never seen this happen before.

Is he serious right now?

I'm heading out into the field.

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

The people I know who had connections help them get jobs

work harder to strip off that image.

This is not my role!

-The intended person called in sick today. -Sick? I'm sick, too!

What's the point of sweating this much? We're losing.

Is the match over?

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

-Hi. -The Dreams!

The Dreams!

The Dreams!

DREAM MAN

The Dreams!

What is this?

What's going on?

Stop it!

What is that? Look!

What do we do?

THE VIKINGS, THE DREAMS

What's happening in this situation?

There seems to be a conflict

between the coaches and the players.

Yes.

This is not the image that the Dreams wants to portray.

AGAIN, NEW DREAMS FOR 2019

This is messed up.

What do we do?

Where are you going? Wait!

Ma'am! Wait up!

Don't go without me! Wait!

Don't go without me!

Wait for me!

AGAIN, NEW DREAMS FOR 2019

Yes.

I'll leave soon, in ten minutes.

Stop!

Please stop!

-Stop! -Come on!

Stop fighting!

Stop already!

Kids are watching this, too!

Is this really all we've got?

This is the last game of the season.

Let's clean up.

VIKINGS VS. DREAMS

You'd better find another job if that's all you got!

You can't call it baseball!

Quit, you punks!

Please give it up for them!

Give them a round of applause so they can do better next year.

That's scary.

Gosh.

-Who is it today? -I don't know.

Go for it! You can do it!

The time when a baseball club

reinforces their players during the off-season

-I really want to go. -Come with me.

Sure. Let's go.

-What is that? -That's not how you do it.

-That's not it. -That's weird.

-Who dances like that? -Watch me.

What's so funny?

Are you the champions?

-No. -No.

Did you make it to the postseason?

Or have we won the last game at least?

Didn't I tell you that you can't laugh out loud all the time?

I know you've worked hard during the season.

But you should be full of fight

to at least take ninth place next year.

No one asks us to win the league.

-Am I wrong? -You're right!

Nagging at you is a bother to Jin-woo, too.

If he married his first love, he'd have a son at your age.

He's saying this all for your sake.
