Original subtitles

They're an artist who knows...

how to get on the flow with their cool music...

I hope the year ends without any trouble.

- Yes, I... - I see.

It's the bottom of the sixth inning, and Dreams is at the bat.

The fourth and the leadoff hitter of this inning is Lim Dong Gyu.

His first hit was a left-field,

while his 2nd hit was a ground ball which landed near the 3rd base.

The previous hitter...

did very well.

- He did well. - They're in a good position.

How about some cold beer and lamb skewers?

- Good. - Then, they called me.

Isn't it ridiculous?

That's why I called them back. And then...

The Vikings are confirmed to be second place in the regular season.

They'll go right into the playoffs.

Against them is Dreams, who has been performing...

the worst for four years in a row.

- They're worlds apart. - Yes.

It's second place versus last place.

This puts Dreams in a bad place.

(Lim Dong Gyu)

Lim Dong Gyu, Lim Dong Gyu

Run as mighty as you can

Dreams' fourth hitter, Lim Dong Gyu,

is walking up.

His appearance alone can make the crowd go crazy.

Will he be able to attack the ball from Kim Kwan Sik?

He's known to pitch side-out balls.

So far, we've had 2 at bat and 1 infield hit.

(Fourth hitter, Lim Dong Gyu)

Lim Dong Gyu, home run!

It's Kim Kwan Sik's first pitch.

It came very close to his body.

Kim Kwan Sik pitched close to the hitter.

I think it was an intentional pitch...

to save his cutter.

Yes. Now, this is his second pitch.

He's going for it. It's going up high to the right side!

Go over! Go over!

- What a ruckus. - It's going over!

Lim Dong Gyu gets a home run.

That's Lim Dong Gyu...

Mr. Jung, you predicted that it might be a little easier...

for Lim Dong Gyu to get a hit...

since Kim Kwan Sik made a sidearm pitch.

As expected, Lim Dong Gyu...

used his smooth swing to get the ball over to the right.

It's the 40th home run.

Do you think he expected...

the 2nd pitch after the 1st one?

Someone like Lim Dong Gyu...

would have suspected...

such a pitch for the 2nd pitch...

after seeing how close the 1st pitch was.

Yes. He is the key figure of Dreams indeed.

- That's really amazing. - Yes.

Welcome.

(Lim Dong Gyu)

(Lim Dong Gyu burger)

One "Lim Dong Gyu burger", please.

- Sure. - They should push forward.

Let's all cheer

For Vikings

For Vikings

Let's all cheer

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Gosh.

Shoot.

Hey. Did you tell him to hit me?

No, I didn't.

- I'm sorry. - Forget it.

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

- What did you just say? - Get that frown off.

Don't losers have any etiquette?

Are we just going to forget about this, Coach?

The game's not over yet!

Right. Should we have Kang Hyun go up?

Hey.

Watch it.

(Bench Coach, Lee Chul Min)

You should tell him off when you need to.

Gosh, our coaches must be tired.

Hey! Jerks.

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

Choi Woo Hyuk is up.

Pitcher Jang Jin Woo is getting ready. There's...

one player on the first base. It's an outside pitch. Hit.

It's going to the right field.

He's moving up, then back.

The ball, the ball... It fell in front of him.

Gosh.

That ball...

He made the wrong decision from the beginning.

That's why he had to move back and forth.

- Yes. - He made the wrong decision.

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

The hitter is Lee Bo Seung.

His hit is going to the shortstop.

Will he catch it?

It dropped after hitting his palm.

2nd base. 2nd base.

They even miss this speedball.

It's too bad they couldn't get it. It wasn't a hard ball to get.

They should have caught it.

We have Choi Jun Sun at bat right now.

Jun Sun hits the ball and Jung Seok at the third base catches it,

throwing it to the first base!

Out!

He's out.

The ball lands between the right and center fielders!

This shows exactly...

why Dreams is the worst team in the league.

- That's right. - Seriously?

Dreams is playing their last game of the season.

Their fans are leaving the stadium, one by one.

Indeed. I know how the fans must feel right now.

Fans are probably not too pleased with the fact that...

they paid to watch such a bad game like this.

Dream Man, Dreams' mascot, seems like he's done as well.

I've never seen the team mascot be down like that.

That undeserving brat! What is he doing?

I'm heading to the stadium.

I hope they get it together soon.

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

Gosh. I'm exhausted...

- Dreams! - Dreams!

People who get their jobs using their connections...

usually work harder to prove...

that they actually deserve the job they got.

But this isn't even a part of my job.

The real Dream Man is on sick leave!

I'm sick too.

What good is sweating when our team is losing so badly?

You think the game is over already?

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Hello. - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- Dreams! - Dreams!

- What? - What is it?

What happened?

Hey!

- Look at that! - What is it?

Look!

What's happening?

It seems like there's a conflict...

between the players and the coaches.

This is bad, even for the worst team in the league.

Are you serious?

What do we do?

Where are you going? Wait!

You jerks!

Wait for me!

Don't go alone, wait for me.

What is it?

Let me come with you!

Yes?

I'll be out in 10 minutes.

Stop it!

Stop it, everyone.

Stop!

Stop fighting!

Stop it.

You think you know everything?

Who do you think you are?

- Get out of my way! - How dare you?

Kids are watching.

Is this really who we are?

This is our last game of the season.

Let's clean it up.

(Vikings versus Dreams)

Quit playing baseball if all you're going to do is to fight.

You really call that a baseball game?

- You're the worst team ever. - That was terrible.

- Just get out of the league. - Quit playing baseball.

How ridiculous.

Please give a round of applause to cheer for their next season!

A round of applause!

- Seriously. - Who was it this time?

- Vikings! Vikings! - Vikings! Vikings!

(Hot Stove League)

(The off-season in baseball when teams get ready...)

(to play for the next season)

- Are you really going? - Yes.

- I really want to go. - Let's go together.

- Let's go. - Let's.

- Anybody can do that. - That's right.

- That's not it. - That's wrong.

Show us your other move.

What do you find so funny?

Did we win the league?

- No, sir. - No.

What is this, the fall season?

Did we at least win our last game?

Didn't I tell you to quit joking around all the time?

I know you all worked very hard this season as well,

but you need to focus to at least rank second to last next season.

Am I asking you to bring the trophy home?

- Am I? - No, sir.

It's not easy for Jin Woo to yell at you all the time either.

Had things worked out between Jin Woo and his first love,

he could've had a son your age.

He just wants what's the best for you guys.

Meet me at the main entrance if you want to go for a drink.

Okay?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Go home.

They can go home, right?

Yes, go. Just go.

Night.

What brings a handball team general manager to the baseball stadium?

Nothing much.

Congratulations on winning.

Thanks.

I made some yuzu marmalade.

Your mother loves it, right?

I'm thinking of visiting her this weekend.

Just mail it, it's too far.

I can make it home by night if I leave early in the morning.

She gets worried that something happened if we visit.

Just give her a call to say that everything is going well.

No need to do that often either.

Do Koreans really not care at all about the lesser popular sports?

Despite their first win in the Korea league,

Young Jin Union, the women's handball team,

has decided to disband.

- Young Jin Constructions... - You forgot to tell me...

that your team disbanded once again.

The company said that the disbandment was unavoidable.

It's not like anything would've changed if I told you.

The members of board...

Have you found anything else?

Another handball team, perhaps?

They're trying to avoid their responsibilities...

I'm sure there's some place in this world that needs me.

Here's an update on the professional baseball league.

The last game of the season took place today.

There was a fight between coaches during the game...

- between Dreams and Vikings. - Everyone,

good work.

- Let's go! - Cheers!

Good work. Great job everyone.

Great job.

Thanks for all your hard work today.

Let's place second to last next year.

Second to last.

Right, we've gone through so much.

Players are the ones who play baseball, not us.

There's just nothing to promote.

You can't be good at baseball without money.

Good work, everyone. Fill your glasses.

Everyone, I...

Even so, they shouldn't have smiled even after losing.

I know it was the toughest for the Operations Department. Here.

How could they greet their fans...

with a smile on their faces when they lost more than 10 points?

Dreams has won 43 times this year.

Last year, it was 46 times.

That's three times less.

Now,

I'm going to resign from my position.

- What? - What?

Why?

- I need to take responsibility... - Sir.

Don't try to take all that heavy burden alone.

It isn't your fault.

Then whose fault is this?

That's...

There's Head Coach.

I told you, baseball is played by athletes.

Let's be honest. We did everything we could for them.

Everyone spends money to play baseball these days.

It's obvious they will place last otherwise.

We are all at fault.

Se Young.

What did I do wrong?

Honestly speaking,

I think I'm as good as the senior manager...

of Sabres' Marketing Department.

He works for the winning baseball team.

And I just work for a team like this.

If we're funded enough,

(Senior Manager Ko Se Hyuk of Scouting Department)

we can easily hire good players and competent pitchers too.

Let's not think and behave too drastically like that.

- Sir. - In any case,

we need to be just a little bit greedier.

I'll be off now.

Well...

- Well, sir. - Well...

Sir. Sir.

He didn't have to make a bitter goodbye.

Sit back down. Let's keep eating.

He's like that every time we have a get-together.

Right.

Although you placed last, the season came to its end,

so you had to have a drink.

Last, last. Stop it already.

Even the newlywed wife next door knows that your team is last.

It's not like you guys are first at work.

Mother.

That's the way things are in this field.

No one forced you to work in that field.

You wandered...

all around the country just to join that company.

Should I quit?

I mean, it's not even working out.

As if.

[VIU Ver] SBS E01 'Hot Stove League' "Dreams the Loser" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Okay.

I won't quit.

I will not quit.

("How to Become a Post Office Worker")

Hello. Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

I told you to stop watching a variety show in the office.

I was watching it just for a while because I was sleepy.

Don't say it like I watch it all the time.

- Get your chair. - Okay.

Mr. Yoon.

Mr. Yoon.

What brings you here?

By any chance,

did you get any news?

No.

We will reach you.

Thank you.

I'll get going.

Thank you for your hard work this year.

This is like having false hope. Why isn't he giving us the notice?

We need to hire a general manager first to hire a head coach.

That's why it's getting delayed.

There are already articles about candidates of our new head coach.

Whoever joins our team...

Gosh, no. I take it back.

Let's not be pessimistic.

Let's not give up.

That voice from your heart is the answer.

Oh, right. The CEO was looking for you.

Why?

(CEO Ko Kang Sun)

When will our new general manager join us?

Is it Mr. Ko Se Hyuk?

Ko Se Hyuk? Why?

Well, he's most experienced.

All the fans know him too.

Everyone is guessing...

he will be the new general manager.

I sounded him out a little, but he said no.

He likes discovering gemstones in the Scouting Department.

We need to do the interviews now. Prepare for some questions.

Me?

But I thought it was decided.

I've narrowed down the candidates.

I need your opinion too.

You want me to interview my future superior?

Hey, you guys always say what you want to say...

as if you're drunk only on drinking occasions.

But neither you and I can remember any of it.

I got sick and tried to record it once.

Gosh, without our consent?

Guess what you said.

- Did we swear? - That you hate nonprofessionals.

You're a professional.

You even know what it means to hit for the cycle now.

Forget it. This is the last year for me.

I bet you'll work here longer than a year than me, at least.

Okay, I'll be strict with the interviews then.

Let's interview one candidate a day starting from today.

No, starting from now.

A general manager who is a former athlete.

It's something outdated in the major league.

A general manager has to do so many things...

that are irrelevant to baseball.

You know, Dreams...

actually has potential.

A lot of potential...

with a lot of promising players.

With proper support for proper aspects,

they will have a chance in the fall season.

You think so? Our team does have strength, right?

Here's what comes to my mind whenever I think of Dreams.

They just need to break out of the egg just once.

They will be different then.

There's a term called front-baseball.

You need to beware of this.

But that doesn't mean you can leave everything up to those in the field.

I'm not saying this because I'm a former head coach.

They all say in the field...

I guess you can communicate with people in the field.

That's a given.

For that to happen, everyone needs to do their job properly.

But for Dreams,

you aren't used to the division of labor yet.

Both of them have clear strengths.

I'm so torn. Excited as well.

It hasn't been a while since Mr. Kim left us.

Sorry, Mr. Kim.

Don't overact. The interviews aren't over yet.

- Okay. - Come in.

Welcome.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

You were a general manager for a handball team.

Do you also like baseball?

Yes. I know the rules at least.

You know "the rules at least"?

Have you ever watched Dreams play?

I did. You can easily find...

edited videos of Dreams' games online.

They edited those videos with ill intentions.

They sometimes edit in last year's games like it's from this year.

They never add the games Dreams performed well in.

I'm sure those ill-intended videos will continue to add up.

What do you mean?

They might continue to be the losers...

for over 10 years even if you form a new team.

You're really something.

That was uncalled for.

Why do you think that?

What's the internal opinion?

Why do you think I made such a presumption?

Excuse me.

We're the ones interviewing you.

I only ask because there are numerous reasons in my opinion.

Why don't you tell us just a couple of them?

The coaches have factions that constantly quarrel.

Talking about it won't settle it.

On top of that, both sides look down on the powerless Head Coach.

Dreams will pick Yoon Jung Seok from Jindeok High School.

Congratulations. You are the first to be picked by Dreams.

Jindeok High School's pitcher, Yoon Jung Seok.

The loser image you have makes it embarrassing to be a part of.

I regret playing baseball.

Cheer up.

What is this?

The lagging facilities also drop the players' ambitions.

It looks like you researched a lot.

And yet you want to work for such a lousy team?

I thought it might offend you,

but thought this might be better than looking like I have...

no grasp of what your problems are.

Of course.

I'm questioning if I was wrong.

Thank you for sticking around for such a long interview.

Well, we need some time to think about it.

It's definitely not because I was offended.

All right.

Gosh, what a waste of time.

Geez.

What's with that guy?

(Jang Jin Woo)

(Triumph)

(Accomplishment)

I'm speechless. What a lunatic.

How much does he think he knows about baseball?

He's so full of it. How annoying.

Sir.

Do you see any strengths in our team?

There are even bigger problems.

And what could that be?

Do you want Dreams to become stronger?

Of course.

Do you think everyone would think that way?

What do you mean?

I'm just saying.

Why don't you talk about someone who's normal?

You're only criticizing that strange man.

He's really strange.

He used to be a general manager of a handball team.

- How well did they perform? - They won,

but it's different from professional baseball.

Hey, Se Young.

Yes?

If we fail again, I want us to fail in a new way...

instead of failing for the same reasons.

Gosh. Don't let such words persuade me.

Why... Why are you meddling when you already quit?

I don't have any power anyway.

Gosh.

Yes?

Okay. I'm coming right now.

- You have to go, don't you? - Yes.

They picked the new general manager...

without telling me. They say I can just check now.

That's good news.

You were...

the best general manager in my opinion.

Thank you.

Do your best.

He's not a familiar face,

but they say someone good...

is just plain good.

I think the same goes for a general manager.

Someone good at managing will be a good general manager.

Although he doesn't have much history in baseball as we do,

he was able to bring victory to different sports teams...

What the...

What?

F...

Funny. Friends.

What are you saying?

Step back.

This is Baek Seung Soo, your new general manager.

Let's give him a big band.

Right.

This is our operations manager, Lee Se Young.

- You remember her, right? - Yes.

She's the very first...

female operations manager in professional baseball.

I bet you didn't know that.

He's young.

I'm Han Jae Hee of the Operations Department.

Nice to meet you.

Hold on. Where did I leave off?

That he's young.

Mr. Baek is young, and he's called the winning...

killer?

Hitman.

He's the winning hitman.

He's here to win. Am I right?

Yes, it's something like that.

- Say a few words. - Okay.

I was able to bring victory to a handball team,

wrestling team, and a hockey team.

I don't know much about baseball,

but I'll learn as I go.

I'll take a look around today,

and we'll start our meetings tomorrow.

I believe we're really behind.

Sure. Okay. Let's applaud.

- Sir. - Yes? What is it?

Why him?

I wanted to put your opinion into consideration,

It was someone above me.

Someone above you?

Yes?

Have you been well?

Yes, what about you?

I've been quite busy.

I've been neglecting the baseball team...

since it has always been doing well.

It was Junior Managing Director's decision.

Can you find anyone else that has never lost?

His resume is golden.

I see.

I believe he's the man we need for our team.

I see.

Just accept it.

Yes?

Nice to meet you.

I'm Kwon Kyung Min.

He's the Junior Managing Director.

I'm also the nephew of the team's owner.

Yes, he's the nephew as well.

I'm not telling you this...

because I plan on controlling the team with my connection,

but because it'll help you understand why I'm cocky.

People understand when I explain this to them.

You understood too, right?

I love being productive.

So just forget that I'm the nephew of the team's owner.

Just think of me as the owner himself.

I'm Baek Seung Soo, the new general manager of the team.

All the equipment are fixed-up.

The general manager before you fixed everything up already,

even though he's so broke.

Because we don't get enough funding,

he even fixed some things himself.

What a great man he was.

I'm going to go eat.

How long has it been since your handball team won?

This year.

You must know about handball quite well then.

Yes, I'm also knowledgable in...

wrestling and hockey.

How did you go from...

leading a wrestling team to a hockey team?

The wrestling team got disbanded.

I see.

Your hockey team as well?

Didn't it win the league?

Yes, it won and then it got disbanded.

I see.

This can't happen in baseball.

Even the worst teams don't starve in baseball.

We don't aim to place last...

when we play.

I see.

Is your goal here to make the team win too?

No, right?

(Meeting Room 1)

CEO wants us to prepare a list of players who won't be back.

It's a tedious job.

This is my least favorite part of the whole year.

We have to do what we have to do. I'm preparing the list.

What should we do...

with Jang Jin Woo?

He's not the best.

2 wins and 6.78 in earned run average.

But he grew up in our team.

He's the eldest one now.

I wouldn't say that he grew up in our team.

I know he reached his peak at one point,

but the team couldn't take the trophy home at that time...

because Jin Woo slipped towards the end, right?

Let's take some more time to think.

There are quite a lot of fans that are waiting around,

hoping for him to get back up on his feet again.

Just head outside...

and you'll see college students who are even better everywhere.

Would it be difficult...

for Jin Woo to become a coach?

Probably, right?

Students are only willing to learn from impressive teachers.

Who wants to learn from...

a pitcher who can barely throw?

None in the world we live in right now for sure.

Are you looking to earn even more money?

I have to work hard...

and make you into the winning pitcher.

Is that why you get a strikeout whenever I'm throwing?

My arms don't listen to me...

when I play with you.

Take care of your arms. Where does it hurt the most?

My elbow.

Here?

Is this where it hurts?

You brat.

It hurts!

Of course it hurts.

Hey,

I hope that...

we can hold our retirement ceremonies together.

Why do you say that?

You should play for a much longer time than I.

That hurts.

Ms. Lee!

What brings you here?

Why did you have to get your drink so fast?

You chose the 20-cent one.

I ran here to get you the 40-cent drink.

You're too rich for that.

You should buy me a four-dollar drink instead.

Is our new general manager here?

I don't know.

Are we going to keep the same head coach?

We don't know either.

If you don't know, who will?

Is it really too much for me to ask for,

even when I've been on the team for the past 11 years?

I'm Lim Dong Gyu.

I really don't know.

Even if I did, everyone has their own places.

For example, we don't order you to train longer hours...

because you're going through a bad phase.

That's...

because I'm still the best one even at my worst.

Whatever floats your boat.

Enjoy your drink and have a nice day.

Bye now.

What a brat.

- Goodness. - Be careful.

- I'm sorry. - Sorry.

Here.

I have mine here.

That's right.

My goodness.

What brings you here?

When is the list for released players being posted?

I don't know, we're still in discussion.

I'm a candidate for the list, aren't I?

I can't tell you anything.

Is...

becoming a coach difficult?

I think I'll be able to tell you more...

once I go over things with the new general manager.

All right.

Yes.

But...

Yes?

I've started working out earlier this year to do better next year.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Come in.

Hello.

You work very hard.

I need to...

do better next year.

I hope so.

What brings you here?

I figured you'd have a lot of questions about the team.

The list for released players hasn't been posted yet,

so I figured that it'd be better...

for me to explain everything about the team to you.

Is that right?

Why don't you have a seat then?

There's no need to talk about...

the better players since it's a list of released players.

What about Jang Jin Woo?

Jin Woo?

He works really hard.

He works harder than anyone, but...

So he works hard.

he won't be improving.

He can't throw as fast, and he allows more home runs than before,

but still,

he keeps the other pitchers disciplined.

Disciplined?

Then is he the type of a senior who passes down bad custom?

No.

Not exactly.

Well, how should I explain?

It's true...

the guys feel a little uncomfortable around him.

Among newbie members, Min Joon's throw is getting faster.

He has a nice posture and a good mentality.

These kinds of guys make good results in a long term.

He can manage crises without any injuries.

It's not a bad idea to keep Ju Ho as a center fielder.

He isn't a good hitter, but he has fast legs.

All right, good work.

- Good work. - Give that to me.

Does he know about baseball?

He seems to have had nothing to do with baseball.

He'll figure things out.

We are the ones who play baseball anyway.

So is he coming?

Yes, he said he'll call when he arrives.

He's coming.

Lee Chul Min and his guys are having a get-together too.

This punk knows who's got the actual power.

It'll be good for us if he behaves.

Why do you think he's coming?

Why?

The future head coach is right here. He should come.

Hey, it's gross.

Whoever becomes head coach,

(Pitching Coach Choi Yong Gu)

we need to do a good job now.

It's so torturous staying at the bottom.

Cheers.

- Dreams! - Dreams!

Gosh, it's bitter.

By the way, I heard Coach Choi and his guys...

are throwing a welcome party for Mr. Baek too.

But he said he'll come here.

I guess he has reasons.

Too bad for Choi Yong Gu.

He might keep waiting there, thinking Mr. Baek is coming.

Should we call them over too?

Since Mr. Baek is here,

they can come have roe rice or something.

Drop your silly talk.

Let's be dignified and talk about next year's season.

Yes, Head Coach.

Pour me a drink, Head Coach.

Head Coach Lee.

Don't count your chickens first, you punks.

Oh, goodness. Welcome.

Hello.

- Have a seat. - It's good to see you.

- Let's sit down. - Okay.

- Let me pour you a drink. - Sure.

It's good to meet you.

Is this Bench Coach Lee's faction?

What do you mean? There's nothing like that.

Why don't you be friendly with each other?

If you had invited me when you were all together,

it would've been convenient for me.

Two coaches invited me over at the same time on the same day.

If it's not a faction, what is it?

We had no idea that those guys invited you.

Those guys?

I'll go meet them too.

Since you're Bench Coach, I came to greet you first.

What are you going to talk with them?

I haven't said anything here yet,

but you're already worried about what I'll say to them.

You're here.

Should I sit here?

- Come this way. - Yes, this way.

It's good to see you.

Let me pour you a drink.

You're so late.

Yes, I had to stop by somewhere.

To Bench Coach?

- Yes. - Goodness.

You're busy between the two strings as soon as you were appointed.

The two strings? I thought you were the same team.

You must be busy studying baseball and learning work...

these days.

You're the former general manager of a handball team.

It's not even a fault that you don't know much about baseball.

We watch handball games during the Olympics. Sometimes.

I guess you know very well about baseball.

What book must I read?

[VIU Ver] SBS E02 'Hot Stove League' "The Winning Hitman, Baek Seung Soo" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

How dare you?

What?

Let me brief you about the things that were decided yesterday.

The CEO didn't agree on everything.

My decision will not change,

but for reference,

do tell me if you have any opinions.

All right, let's begin.

We will keep the current head coach.

We'll sign a three-year contract with him.

I've got the CEO's consent about this.

Oh, gosh.

Who decided on it?

Me.

I like Mr. Yoon too.

But what about the fans' opinions?

Their opinions don't take responsibility for anything.

But I take responsibility with my job.

What was that?

8, 8, 9, 2, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10?

Is it right?

I mean,

it's not a bank account number or anything.

You placed 8th, 8th, 9th, and 2nd.

Then 10th for 4 times in a row.

You've shared this history.

You guys should be considered as a public official in this field.

The current head coach will remain?

Not 1 year, but 3 years?

Yes, no head coaches sign a contract worth a year.

We have to make it three years at least to support him.

Wait.

The CEO approved of this?

Did you watch our team's games?

If you let the head coach give everything he's got,

it will be way better than a new head coach.

And as far as I know, you can't afford to hire someone from outside.

Someone in the team could be a head coach.

The pitching coach or the bench coach? Which one?

Anyone.

Only half the members will listen to him then.

Secondly,

I heard there's a serious factional struggle between the coaches.

We won't put out any of the sides. We'll keep them all.

Go ahead with your factional struggle.

No one can stop adults from fighting and this is a group fight.

But do it with results.

If you're good at politics but bad at baseball?

That'd be most embarrassing.

I heard you were pretty good back when you were players.

What's wrong with your faces?

You've done this the whole time.

Just keep doing what you've been doing.

Moving on to the third topic.

I haven't gotten the CEO's consent for this one.

I need your help with this. It's not going so well.

I'd like to trade Lim Dong Gyu off.

- What? - Lim Dong Gyu?

Did he just say Lim Dong Gyu?

No way.

- Lim Dong Gyu? - Why?

Lee Dong Gu retired two years ago.

You need to do some research before...

He said, Lim Dong Gyu.

- What, who? - Lim Dong Gyu.

Lim Dong Gyu?

Lim Dong Gyu?

The hitter number four of our team? Not Lee Dong Gu?

Yes, I'd like to trade him off.

What is he talking about?

You don't know what he means to our team!

- This is driving me nuts. - It doesn't make sense.

He is our ace.

He's a lunatic.

- I mean... - This is absurd!

(Dong Gyu, General Manager...)

Goodness gracious.

The hottest category for this year's Golden Glove is...

the outfield category.

Although the award is given to three players,

it was filled with nominees...

who are skilled in both offense and defense.

We'll now call up the first winner.

Dong Gyu, General Manager wants to trade you off.

The first award goes to...

- Who does he think he is? - Lim Dong Gyu.

Congratulations!

Despite the bad year that his team has had this year,

he scored 40 home runs and a total of 114 runs batted in.

He had a successful year with his strong shoulders.

He was the only hope for the Dreams' fans.

This is his sixth time receiving this award.

Please say your acceptance speech.

(Golden Glove Awards Lim Dong Gyu on Outfield)

To be honest,

I prepared a list of people I'd like to thank...

just in case I receive the award.

I missed a lot of people last year.

But...

I won't be...

needing this anymore.

I have this burning urge...

to just say one thing.

I can only play baseball because I have the Dreams' fans.

I can't imagine myself possibly playing elsewhere.

General Manager, hold on.

- Yes? - Dong Gyu is...

I can't believe I have to explain this to you,

but he's the outfielder and the fifth hitter on the national team.

It's not Lee Dong Gu.

I know.

I'll make a promise here.

The only remaining goal that I have in life...

is to stay in Dreams forever.

I'm...

going to retire in Dreams.

And you want to trade him off?

Yes.

I mean it.

I mean it.

Do you walk out of your house when your maid tells you to?

It'll be more realistic to trade General Manager off.

It's not going to be easy.

Are you going to go against me?

I'll get the CEO to approve for sure.

We'll have your back all the way.

All of this was to trade me off for just Kim Kwan Sik?

Kim Kwan Sik, really? How can you trade Dong Gyu off for him?

How come people who mess up don't clean up after their messes?

I'm heading to see General Manager.

Is Dong Gyu making you do this?

- Mr. Baek... - You think...

getting rid of you is going to be difficult?

Lim Dong Gyu.
