(All characters, places, companies,)

(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

I bet it wasn't easy to come back.

About that, what happened was...

I know. It was thanks to Kill Chang Ju.

Yes.

I kind of feel indebted to him.

Don't feel that way.

He should recover his nationality and serve in the military...

if he wants to live proudly.

Don't live your life thinking that you owe him.

It's hard to stay with someone...

you feel indebted to.

That's what happened between us, remember?

Yes. I'm sorry.

Not again.

But do you think it's okay for me...

to also live...

happily...

while enjoying my work?

What I mean is...

Is it okay for me to live like that?

Of course, it is.

Young Soo.

Yes?

Are you having fun?

Yes.

Really? Do you think you can go on having fun?

Pretty much. I'm very sure.

Then let's talk about work at home a lot.

I've been neglecting your department.

Yes, Mr. Baek.

Hey. Where's Kang Doo Ki traveling to train this year?

- I don't know. - Do you know who he's taking?

No. I heard he's going to foot the bill as well.

For real? He doesn't even make his partner run errands.

I'm jealous of whoever he takes.

Guys.

- Yes. - What?

Does training in a warmer climate make a big difference?

- Of course, it does. - If it didn't,

would people be crazy to pay to go?

Don't bounce it off your hips.

Oh, okay.

Keep your back straight and still when you lift.

Okay. Thank you.

You.

Yes?

Why do you run so much?

It's so I can throw with my lower half.

Good. Keep it up.

I will.

Good.

Jin Woo, do you have plans to travel...

to train this year?

- No. - What?

Why not?

I'd go if I made your salary.

I won't play much longer.

Do you have to talk like that?

(Dreams' Off-Season Training Plan)

Do players who leave for off-season training first...

spend their own money?

Yes. The time they spend on their own...

is a personal investment.

We pay for the plane tickets,

and they pay for their food and accommodation.

That's why I don't see any rookies or low-paid players...

like Jang Jin Woo here.

Well, there are a few.

Some well-paid players take a junior...

they're close to as a training mate.

It can't be helped.

To improve Jaesong Hotel's profits,

I decided to focus on duty free stores.

Apart from the profits of the stores at the airports,

we must improve sales in the stores in the city,

to create the image of a business hotel.

- Well done. - It's nothing.

How many failing subsidiaries have you turned around so far?

I was lucky.

That general manager. Is he back?

We revised his contract so he quits at the start of the season.

Did you?

Kwon Kyung Min.

Yes?

Don't you give me time to be disappointed?

Mr. Kwon.

Yes, sir?

Do you know that we'll transfer personnel soon?

Where do you want to go?

Don't try to be sly. Speak outright.

I'd like to expand the heavy industry section.

Why heavy industry? That's not our main business.

So you can finally be free of the public opinion,

I'll expand the heavy industry business...

so we're no longer a consumer goods company.

Hush now.

- Sorry. - Be half as good as Mr. Kwon.

Can we not talk like that when we're alone?

Hey.

- While we're in the building... - Darn!

Don't go too far.

You're crossing the line.

Good.

Hey. Come on.

Concentrate when you're practicing.

- Yes, coach. - Watch carefully.

The left side of your hip should slide forward like this.

Or your throw won't be stable enough.

- Okay. - Try again.

Stop. That's it. Now slide sideways.

Slide your hips.

My gosh. You're not using your back at all.

Okay.

My goodness. Try again.

- Coach. - What?

You can't do this.

What? Oh, Tae Sung's here too.

Ask him to check your batting form.

You can't coach when it's the off-season.

What?

You're not thanking us for coaching you during the break?

Hey. It's not like we're being paid.

You're not being paid,

so don't work extra.

This is not an issue at all.

I'm afraid it could become one.

Hey, Seo Young Ju.

I represent the Dreams on the board of the Players' Association.

I'm afraid I'll have nothing to say.

Seo Young Ju.

You've grown up, haven't you?

I'll get going then.

You jerk.

You're out of your mind, aren't you?

You stupid old fossils.

- What? Hey, you! - Don't.

- Come back here! - That's enough.

- That punk. - Stop it.

[VIU Ver] SBS E19 'Hot Stove League' "Free Will" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Professional baseball clubs pay their players...

in 10-month increments.

The two months they aren't paid is the problem.

The Players' Association insists...

players should not be trained during those two months.

That's it.

So players do practice and train...

Yes, but it's individual training, and we only provide the facilities.

Then what was the issue with what we witnessed earlier?

If coaches teach and give tips,

it's not strictly training voluntarily.

That's a problem.

There are some undesirable outcomes from it,

but it's a necessary system.

Okay, I got it.

Mr. Baek, will you... What...

Hey.

He just said okay,

but why does it feel ominous?

Your ominous feeling is never wrong.

Kids these days...

In my day, I thanked my coaches for spending extra time with us.

We're doing this for their own good.

That's hot.

Must you walk up so quietly?

If a weak team like us can't train, we'll come last again.

Naturally.

Then do what you coaches want to do.

How?

I'll take responsibility.

However, this is your two-month break as well.

Are you okay with it?

Losers don't have that luxury.

I kind of get the idea of what you think of us,

but we have a sense of duty too.

He pays to take injury prevention classes...

in his spare time.

To teach the players.

You talk way too much, you idiot.

We can't organize group training for now,

but teach one-on-one all you want.

You can announce what times...

you'll be available to teach.

So that players interested in learning can come and learn.

What about the fuss from the Players' Association?

I'll talk with them.

Who's the chair of the Players' Association?

They voted a while ago.

Are the results not out yet?

I see.

Okay, I got it. Thank you.

Who's the chair?

(Press Conference for New Chairman of the Players' Association)

Hello.

I'm the newly voted chair of the Players' Association.

My name is Kang Doo Ki.

Kang Doo Ki? Isn't that a good thing?

He gets along okay with Mr. Baek.

He'll let it slide.

You don't know him that well to say that.

Kang Doo Ki never does anything halfheartedly.

As our pitcher, he'll pitch hard,

and as chair of the Players' Association,

he'll advocate with his life.

Nice!

Jin Woo.

Could you check my pitching balance?

Come.

- Try throwing. - Okay.

Min Ho, in order to throw a ball hard,

you need to find a stride point that suits you. Yours is too long.

Right up to here should be good.

- Try throwing. - Okay.

Look at that.

Jin Woo is helping out his juniors without being able to train himself.

That looks better.

Try that again.

All right.

Attention.

(Training Schedule)

Jin Woo has to work on his balance,

but he's teaching the basics to Min Ho.

This is not good.

Regardless of our day-offs,

we'll come for individual training as written here.

Come ask us questions if you want.

You know, all of us struggle during the season.

Coaches.

Why would you do this when I'm right here?

Seo Young Ju, how much is your salary?

You don't pay for my salary.

You rude son of a gun!

- Min Ho. - Yes?

- Don't you want to learn? - A lot, sir.

I mean, I want to learn.

Your rivals are here, not on other teams.

Those getting paid well will go for their individual training...

to a warm country in a few days.

Wake up. How are you guys going to catch up with them?

Do you think those punks will be happy to see you improve?

You keep calling us "those punks" and "you guys."

Are you trying to separate us into groups or what?

Should we do the same?

That punk is the problem. Hey, Seo Young Ju.

Back then, we would've beat you up to a pulp.

Stop with that outdated talk. Live in the present, will you?

Hey, Young Ju.

I get what you mean,

but for now...

(Kwon Kyung Min)

Say I'm not here.

What do you mean you aren't here? That's upsetting.

Gosh.

Kyung Min.

You know the executives will go through a reshuffle soon, right?

Oh, really?

Where do you want to go?

Are you really okay with the heavy industry?

Yes.

I just don't understand why. You're so weird.

All right. I'll put in a word for you.

You don't have to.

I'm planning to go to the department store.

That suits you.

I guess you really are competent.

The long-time acquaintances of mine asked me if I was close with you.

You know, the middle-aged men who came to the executive meeting.

Why do you think they asked?

To get rid of you. They think you're a threat.

What about you?

Me?

Don't you think I'm a threat?

What are you saying?

Let's just go have a drink.

Forget it. I have work to do.

Later at night.

I need to go see Han Ju Hee now. You know, the sexy chick.

She'll model for our commercial. Should I tell her to join us?

Don't cause trouble.

Darn, you're too serious.

How boring. Girls don't like that.

(Father)

(Father)

The Players' Association seems to have reported us to the KPB.

We'll write a statement.

But are you going to keep doing this?

What's the next step of this?

A fine, of course. It could be millions of dollars.

Hey, Baek Seung Soo.

Are you going to pay for this fine?

Do you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in your account?

Should I give you a cup of coffee?

You worked against the flow, and it's worth that much.

Are you out of your mind?

The KPB won't fine us that much.

And I...

Oh, I can't make it iced.

Why would you proceed with this without even getting my approval?

Do you think I'm a pushover?

I didn't think I needed your approval.

Then whose approval did you think you needed?

Excuse me.

Hello?

Oh, I see. Okay, bye.

I'm sorry.

Hey. Where are you going?

Goodness gracious!

It's because of the principle.

You all know.

What principle?

What's more important for baseball players than training hard?

Training is not a problem.

We're talking about your wrong behavior.

Hey, resting is much better for us too.

You rude punk.

Congratulations.

Mr. Kang.

You're working hard now that you're the chair.

I'm aware of the coaches' hard work.

But they need to stop. That's the rule.

Shouldn't that rule be applied in a more flexible way?

No payment, no labor. That's common sense.

Players don't have any reason to work...

unless they get paid.

Training is labor? I think that's a bit ambiguous.

Playing a game is labor,

but isn't training a way of self-improvement for better results?

What about these coaches...

who are devoting themselves without getting paid?

The way I see it,

you're treating them like righteous villains.

So let's not make things harder for each other...

and stop it here.

We aren't some high school baseball players.

- You little... - We are...

professionals.

If one's effort isn't enough,

he will have to pay for the price.

If one's effort...

isn't enough?

Darn.

Then the whole team will suffer damages, not just him.

Right, that's important,

but most of the players are the heads of their families.

They must be guaranteed time with their families...

who supported them for a long season.

So we're encouraging this to be voluntary.

The players are the contractees, the employees.

Even if you make it voluntary,

some of them will feel like they have to join the training...

in order to stand out and be chosen to play in games.

That's not encouragement,

but violence.

So you will stop them from training voluntarily?

I think that's even more of violence.

And there are...

a lot of players who need practice within our team.

I'll suggest this to the KPBPA...

so it will be reflected in the rules from next year.

But first,

stick to the principle.

What you're trying to uphold shouldn't be seen...

as an act to stop other players from improving themselves.

Think about your reputation.

And about key players spending their money...

to go on field training,

people say it's inciting the rich-get-richer.

I mean, if they join the official training later than others,

they'd have trouble with their jet lag...

and it'd drop the quality of the training.

Are you...

against us this time?

I'm sad.

You must know how serious that means.

I'm sorry about that.

But...

don't be mistaken that the KPBPA is an old-fashioned organization...

that stands only for the benefits of players with a high salary.

And I'll hand this issue to the KPB.

I'll be off.

- Mr. Baek. - Yes?

What if the KPB really does impose a fine on us?

- I gave it a thought. - Okay.

I don't think anything can be worse than not having...

our players train properly.

This is something we were always concerned about.

And how did you deal with it before?

Everyone including the coaches discussed the making...

of a manual on off-season training.

We initiated the project but stopped due to the time constraint.

Perhaps the coaches can work enthusiastically on it...

to finish it fast so we could distribute them to the players.

I think there will be a limit...

to learning a sensitive sport like baseball...

from a book.

That's possible.

However, I think it'd be better to have it than not.

We should make it a lot better if we're going to make it at all.

It looks like you worked hard even when the team was losing.

Pardon?

Of course, we worked hard.

Just because we're losers doesn't mean our spirits are dead.

Yes. It seems like it.

I'm off.

Mr. Baek.

Kim Young Chae of "Baseball Life"...

got in touch with me to ask...

if she could interview you about off-season training, so I declined.

- It's good that I did, right? - Tell her she can interview.

- Who? - I'll do it.

What?

- What is it? - What?

Your car came out. You should go first.

What was that about?

I'm Kim Young Chae of "Baseball Life."

Today's story is on the Dreams again.

The Dreams are really the star of this winter.

This time, off-season training has been the topic...

of controversy at the Dreams.

This is the funny part.

Instead of Head Coach Yoon Sung Bok,

General Manager Baek Seung Soo is the one heading this.

At the moment,

we don't have a positive image of the front office.

First and foremost, Mr. Baek was never a baseball player.

Yes. I can see where you're coming from.

What brought you here?

You know there is a lot of talk about off-season training, right?

- What about it? - Everyone is saying Mr. Baek...

is going overboard when he's not the head coach.

That's why you should speak up...

Are you telling me to take Mr. Baek's side this time?

You were always on his side.

We're saying you should just do what you've always done.

You jerks!

Who are you to tell me which side I should stand?

- What did you say? - Min Tae Sung!

I'm your boss, jerk!

Sir,

we're only asking you to give him some of your support.

Get out.

So?

What do you want to talk about?

- Don't you agree with us? - About what?

They talked about us on "Baseball Life" too.

I'm sure you'll have something to say when they come to interview.

To be honest, is it even necessary to talk about this?

I know you agree with us. Don't you?

Hey.

Why do you two always make trouble...

then come to me and the head coach to whine?

- "Whine"? - Hey.

Let me be frank.

If this ends up getting you and Mr. Baek fired,

- what am I losing? - How can you say that?

You never consulted me...

before you poked all the pitchers.

And now you want me to share your responsibilities?

Listen, punk. You haven't changed a bit.

Don't make another Jang Geun!

How dare you say Jang Geun's name so easily?

Let go.

Come on. Punk.

People need rest to live like humans.

Come on, be reasonable.

We can't keep on being like this!

Come in.

Mr. Baek.

Why does it feel like it's been ages?

(General Manager Baek Seung Soo)

General Manager Baek Seung Soo, you're the star...

of this stove league for many reasons.

Not only did you voluntarily resign, you returned in a spectacular way.

Your current conflict isn't an easy one either.

This time, you're up against the KPBPA.

During the off-season, players aren't being paid.

And that's why you can't force them to train.

Do you agree with this?

Yes. If I might add,

I'm saying we shouldn't get in the way of players...

who want guidance to train.

The KPBPA thinks...

that this is the beginning of forced training.

Saying that this is the start of forced training...

is only an assumption about something that hasn't happened.

However, when I say...

they're getting in the way of those who want to train,

this is something that is happening in the present.

Since I'm not a party in this conflict,

it would put me in an awkward spot if we continue this conversation.

Then, why don't you watch this video?

Why are you showing this to me?

This is a video going around online for people to laugh at.

What do you think is the cause of the mistakes...

made by our players seen here?

Is it because they lack concentration?

Or is it because they don't get enough support...

from the parent company?

It's neither. It's because they didn't get enough training.

It's good for a team like us to train.

Whereas a team like the Sabres who are already skilled...

should take a break.

Many are saying that the one who should be in charge...

of the players' training should be the head coach instead of you.

What are your thoughts on this?

I completely agree with that opinion.

Some are questioning...

Head Coach Yoon Sung Bok's ability to be a leader.

No.

It's because the Dreams have performed poorly until now.

If Mr. Yoon is against this,

I'll stop what I'm doing right away.

Good work.

Good job.

Mr. Baek. Can we talk?

Sure. Take a seat.

Okay.

Why would you show a video...

like that on something that will air?

Do you know the view count on this video?

It's 8 million. Everyone watched it already.

But this could offend the players.

Even before starting their off-season training,

they have a shoot scheduled for next year's calendar...

and the fan signing event.

If our players watch the video and decide not to cooperate,

are you going to take responsibility for that?

If that ever happens, we can work it out together.

Don't just take all the burden onto yourself. Just give me a call.

All right, then.

[VIU Ver] SBS E20 'Hot Stove League' "Off-Season Training Controversy" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I watched your interview.

You really always take the hard way.

I'm fine, really.

I really hope that...

the hard way is the right way.

Mr. Baek,

I have...

never led the team the way I wanted to.

I know very well.

But I hope that you will be able to this year.

I feel like I'm just on the team...

for the sake of needing a coach.

I will stop the drills that are becoming such an issue right now...

as per your request, if you'd like.

I'll let you know soon,

after I give it some more thought.

Please do so.

Jackpot!

- Look at that. - You've got good hands today.

Se Young, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Something is definitely up.

She's what's wrong in my life.

Can you bring some cold sikhye from the fridge?

Mom, what do I do if there's someone on my side...

that's doing the wrong thing?

You have to speak up.

What if that doesn't work?

Talk until it does.

I'm telling you, that's not working.

Hey, you!

Then just sit back and let them be.

Even if the person is doing the wrong thing?

Are you smarter than that person?

- No. - Why do you need to ask then?

Think through what you're asking before you actually ask.

Then for now, go.

Just let them be and see what happens.

I really don't feel like doing that. What do I do?

Mi Suk, seems like you're in a trap.

There's no such thing as a trap in this game.

We agreed that there will be traps.

What are you talking about? I've never even heard of the word.

I thought you were playing with the internet version rules...

since it's easier that way.

The internet version of the game has traps.

See?

You idiot, you need to be on my side...

so that what's on your dinner table...

is something worth eating.

You idiot!

You really don't know, do you?

- Let's start over then. - Hey!

It's a pleasure to see you, Doo Ki.

Hello, I'm Kang Doo Ki, the chair of the Players' Association.

You're here as the chair of the Players' Association...

instead of as a Dreams player today.

Yes, because that's what I'm here for.

I hear you're not on good terms with your team's general manager.

Things must be difficult for you right now.

No, that doesn't have anything to do with my team.

Mr. Baek will understand too.

I just really wonder if he really had to...

release our practice video just to prove that...

our team needs more training.

I'm concerned that our players may get discouraged.

I could see how that may happen.

How is the Players' Association preparing to take actions on...

the training coaches are participating in?

The Player' Association has raised it as a problem...

through the Baseball Association.

We expect a monetary penalty.

Then doesn't that mean that the training may continue,

risking the fines?

Paying the fine means...

that he's admitting that what he did was a mistake.

If he proceeds with the training after paying the fines,

I will find it unacceptable.

- Come in. - Mr. Baek and...

It's okay, sit down

We'll keep an eye on the issue.

Look at that.

People are saying that he needs to respect the players' privacy.

He's a smart guy.

Sorry?

He's the general manager, right? He knows how to cause a stir.

Do we have any roles for him other than managing the Dreams?

I'll look into that.

Hello?

Are you not a drinker?

What are you here for?

You're not good at drinking, are you?

You're still a kid.

It tastes bad even with good people, so why would I drink it with you?

You've lived a smooth life, haven't you?

This doesn't taste bad. Life tastes worse.

If you have any idea how bad life tastes,

this will taste sweet to you.

You saw me, didn't you?

I didn't.

You're saying you didn't see me...

even without knowing when?

So you saw me.

Does it make you feel better if I say that I did?

Do you have any idea of what I was just working on?

- I don't. - A hotel project on Jeju Island.

It's a hotel construction project worth 300 million dollars.

I was going over the details for the project,

but the funny thing is, I turned the TV on and you were on it.

You guys only get 20 million dollars of funding per year,

so why do you need to be causing issues all the time?

Is it really all that difficult for you guys to work in peace?

Is money the only thing...

that determines how important...

something is to you?

And you're quitting soon, too.

Hey,

why are you so rude?

Why do you never listen to me?

Why do you never listen to me?

If I listen to you,

would you treat me any differently?

Of course.

I don't think anything changed when I listened.

As if you've ever listened.

I regret the days I did.

Nonsense, you never did.

If I listen to you,

you keep telling me to break rules,

so that you guys can look clean.

If a company is a righteous one,

when there's someone who doesn't listen but is good,

they just leave the person to be.

That's why you're only ever a general manager of a team,

while I get to be the junior manager of the company and manage hotels.

Do you know baseball?

Why wouldn't I, I've been the acting team owner for years.

Meanwhile, you were managing a handball team before the Dreams.

Some are born on the third base,

yet they think that we hit a three-base run.

I know it's unnecessary,

but I do feel embarrassed...

for those people when they pride over themselves.

I'll get going now.

Make sure you take a cab on your way home.

(Father)

(Father)

Why do coaches Choi Yong Gu and Lee Chul Min always fight?

Those two?

Their misunderstanding goes a while back.

Who is right?

If there's a misunderstanding between us, I'm always right.

- Not at all. - Not with them.

They're just different.

I saw them fighting over Yoo Min Ho.

Coach Choi's concerned that...

Yoo Min Ho's potential isn't coming out.

Coach Lee's...

afraid of Yoo Min Ho getting injured.

Are you afraid of anything happening to me?

I'm afraid that you'll remain on my team forever.

Can you tell me more of that in detail?

Did I startle you?

You did approach suddenly from behind.

There was a time when Lee Chul Min and Choi Yong Gu got along.

Then came along Park Jang Geun.

He's a player that became a painful part of this team's history.

It's been more than six years already.

Park Jang Geun pitched pretty well and had guts too,

so he was talented enough to be nominated as rookie of the year.

But he had a chronic shoulder problem.

Coach Lee Chul Min said...

his pitching form was bad for his shoulder...

and tried too hard to correct the issue.

Coach Choi...

didn't have a good enough idea of the player's condition...

and instructed him to go on training.

Park Jang Geun was the stoic, silent type.

He's not with us anymore. Did he sign with another club?

No. He learned to operate heavy equipment...

and is doing well.

He's... doing well?

He says he's doing well and wants the coaches to stop visiting.

He wants to live quietly,

without anyone knowing he played baseball.

What happened to the two coaches?

They must blame the other to deal with the guilt.

They're both softies.

Deep inside, I think...

they both think it's their fault.

Hey, you've thrown enough.

- What? - You'll get hurt if you overdo it.

- Okay. - Why would you say "okay"?

Let me see.

It's nothing.

Shall we go to Jeju Island? I'll pay for everything.

You should practice where it's warmer.

It's okay.

But then, Jeju Island's not much warmer.

Let's get something to eat. Pack up.

Okay.

Mr. Baek.

Yes?

The head coach wants to see us all.

Okay.

Hello.

Is the team's training up to me?

Yes.

I thought about it...

and decided we should follow the rules.

Our club is a member of the KPB.

So, I believe we should adhere to...

the rules that we set together.

I request that preparations for training...

be organized by the general manager.

This is the correct order of things.

This is how it should be done.

Don't blame the head coach.

I was actually against training.

But since you made the decision,

I decided to trust you.

I don't think you were ever wrong.

Why would I have never been wrong?

Please thank coaches Choi Yong Gu and Min Tae Sung.

Okay.

Mr. Baek.

Yes? I'm listening.

I got something for you.

It's the off-season training manual I told you about.

Oh. Okay.

I put one together.

If players can't train,

how about handing that out instead?

Did Coach Lee help you with it?

- Yes. - He's a good person then.

Yes. He has different methods,

but Coach Lee spent extra time...

for the good of the team.

He did so...

while saying we can't break a rule we made together.

Coach Lee saw this coming.

That's good then.

It looks like he'll be back late. Wait in the car.

It's been hours. What are you doing out here?

I can't see the gate from the car.

You parked in a weird spot.

What are you doing here?

Coach.

This is a file that's very special to me.

Thank you.

The most important chapter is the one on injury prevention.

They can't play the fall season,

their performance was judged, so players have regrets.

They get too ambitious.

You're most concerned about injuries, aren't you?

Of course. I give ample warning,

but some don't get it.

Injuries can be so scary and dangerous.

You remind me of my dad.

What?

Just saying.

I'll show you some of the moves.

The horizontal revolution is this.

It's great for shoulders.

You put your palm and elbow flat against the wall.

Then you pull it this way and twist.

Your right-hand stays put.

Ms. Lee went to a lot of trouble for this.

Why would you say something so embarrassing?

Don't lose your mind.

You can show off when you deserve it.

I expected this would happen.

What?

Our head coach, Mr. Yoon, would make a rational decision.

"Rational"?

I know I was being unreasonable.

You knew you were being unreasonable...

Why did you go ahead?

Okay, good!

Okay, good!

For this year at least, their common hatred for me...

will unite the players to train harder and better.

Also, until now, Mr. Yoon and I...

never disagreed on anything.

There were some who didn't like that.

People who disliked me disliked Mr. Yoon as well.

So I wanted to give his leadership a boost.

Then did you two plot this together?

Not exactly.

I knew how he'd react.

Could you please...

put this into effect?

(Australia League Training Plan)

Mr. Yoo Min Ho!

Let's go play baseball somewhere warmer!

I'm sorry?

Let's go to Australia.

You can go play in a league in Australia,

then join the off-season training!

How did you know about the Australian league?

I thought it would be good for rising players...

to get real game experiences there during the winter.

I don't care about the players who are veterans and rich.

Please come up with a list of underprivileged players...

that need our help.

Okay.

But the Australian league started a while ago already.

Several players left due to injuries and poor performances.

They're welcoming us.

Wouldn't it be nice for them to play even for a short while?

It's much better for players who can't afford...

to go abroad to train.

They won't have to worry about getting injured in the cold.

That's especially the case for Yoo Min Ho.

Yes. Yoo will need to...

do better this year.

As for the off-season training manual...

you were working on...

Yes? What about it?

I think it was a good choice.

The head coach, you, and I all did our jobs.

You said you decided to trust in it even if it might not be the way.

I think you did well.

Am I stingy...

with expressing myself?

Yes.

Thank you for your trust.

I have something in my throat.

[VIU Ver] SBS E21 'Hot Stove League' "The Head Coach's Decision" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Here is the next story.

The Dreams' front office was opposing the regulation on...

the off-season team training ban in professional baseball...

Doesn't he know he'll lose?

Is it that hard to live reasonably?

Ma'am, please give me more sausages.

Okay.

(Mother)

(Mother)

(Mother)

What is it?

I said, what is it?

Are you serious?

Why did that break down?

Why did Father get involved with someone else's building?

I was in a good mood and you ruined it.

Can't we be like everyone else...

and refrain from telling each other bad news?

How much is it going to be?

Why is it that I never hear a single good thing from home?

My parents get hurt helping others or get robbed from their pay.

Why do you always get involved with such ridiculous people?

Hang up. I'll wire the money.

The Dreams will be sending rising players...

to Australia during the winter.

General Manager Baek Seung Soo...

decided to support rising players...

who cannot afford to go abroad...

(Kwon Kyung Jun)

Welcome.

You're really drunk.

Here. Have a drink.

Okay.

Hey.

You said you're interested in the heavy industry, right?

My youngest uncle worked in the heavy industry too.

We should eat together sometime.

Okay.

Sure.

Which subsidiary did your father take charge of?

My father?

"Which subsidiary"?

Hey.

His father is at home.

I see.

Kyung Min even served in the military.

He's different from us.

Right?

We're out of drinks.

Kyung Jun.

Do you want to arm wrestle?

- What? - Let's arm wrestle.

Why?

Do you think you could beat me in arm wrestling?

Let's try it, you ruffian.

Are you crazy?

Listen.

For some reason,

you always treat me as your rival.

Whenever you do that, you make me laugh.

Just have a match.

- I'll be the referee. - Okay.

Let's have a match.

I'll play you.

Bring it.

Ready.

Go!

Play properly.

Do it.

Make an effort.

Come on.

Let go. I said, let go.

Are you weak because you never served in the military?

Are you crazy?

Also, my father isn't just my father.

He's your uncle.

Right?

If I listen to you,

would you treat me any differently?

Of course.

I don't think anything changed when I listened.

Jerk.

He sure likes to show off, doesn't he?

(Hot Stove League)

We've been too scared of that maggot.

Mr. Baek is going to make a fuss again.

What about the off-season training, all of a sudden?

Call off their off-season training.

Why on earth are you doing this?

Do you still not regret anything?

Are we not going through with our off-season training then?

- We'll do it within the country. - This is driving me crazy.

I promise I'll find the best alternative possible.

I've arranged a practice game.

- With a college baseball team? - No.

With the Vikings.
