Tuesday Running Man: Episode 173, Superpowers Baseball


Finally, it's superpowers baseball time! In this episode, we have three other Korean pro-baseball athletes joining the game. These three are Lee Byung Kyu, Kim Hyun Soo, and Shin Kyung Hyun. 


The episode started when they were just finished eating and they're supposed to go to sleep after the MT. Their mission before getting to the room where they'll sleep is to get the 6 pillows (one each) and lie down on a blanket in the room. Only the first six to get the pillows and lie down will be getting to sleep earlier than the three who will be left washing the dishes.



Some people got their pillow earlier, but some tried to cheat their way into sleeping earlier like perhaps Kwang Soo. 


These three, Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, and Gary are the people who'll be washing the dishes that they used.


All of them were unwilling to do the chore and so Suk Jin proposed that they should do rock-paper-scissors to decide who'll do the chore alone.


Suk Jin is so unlucky that he lost the rock-paper-scissors game, and so he washed the dishes alone, with all of the staff watching him.


Wake up call! Song Ji Hyo got up first, which is something to be proud of since she's a heavy sleeper.


As always, Yoo Jae Suk diligently wakes up early.


Haha got up third.


The last one, of course, is Gary because his socks were missing.


Ji Hyo, being the first one to wake up, already gets two superpowers for the baseball game.


They played rock-paper-scissors again to decide who'll make the beds. Yoo Jae Suk lost because of Kwang Soo's mischievousness. Kwang Soo was the one who conspired with the group and made Yoo Jae Suk lose.



Yoo Jae Suk then did "things" to Kwang Soo behind the camera and Kwang Soo was complaining about Jae Suk bringing him to a place without a camera. Haha, together with Kwang Soo, got some sort of punishment from Jae Suk.


VJ Kwon Ryul had an appearance once again because he was filming the lady guest (Suzy) again instead of Jae Suk.

The next game is a dancing game wherein they have to get a high amount in the pedometer. This will be the basis for the next game that they'll be playing.



The first group of dancers were Jae Suk, Hyun Jin, and Suzy.


Jae Suk went ahead and did something "dirty" in order to raise the count in the pedometer. Hahaha!


The second group of dancers were Ji Hyo, Jong Kook, and Haha.


Haha, like Jae Suk, thrusted his lower body back and forth (since the pedometer was on their waists).


The last group of dancers included Gary, Suk Jin, and Kwang Soo. Kwang Soo did his signature robot dance, and Gary was showing off his dancing skills (hilariously) while Suk Jin just kept on jumping. 


They were supposed to do a shopping mission in the market..


But then there's too much people that they weren't able to do so. The prize for the first game was just given to Suzy because she got the highest count in the pedometer.


Instead, they played the coin flipping game, but one must flip all three coins (3 strike) in order to win.




Everyone tried, and some people almost won like Gary. Some people like Suk Jin, on the other hand, didn't flip a single coin.


Jae Suk finally won with a three strike.


The money that they've earned will be used for buying superpowers later on.


Finally, they're in the baseball field.


First pro-baseball guest: Lee Byung Kyu for LG Twins. I recognize the team that he's coming from because of Reply 1994 where Na Jung's dad is the coach of the Seoul Twins team (now LG Twins).


The second one to be introduced was Kim Hyun Soo from Doosan Bears (also a team from Seoul). He's also near Ryu Hyun Jin's age, and he's a batter.


The last one is Shin Kyung Hyun from Hanhwa Eagles. Hanhwa Eagles was the team where Ryu Hyun Jin played for when he was in Korea, and so Shin Kyung Hyun is his senior.


The teams were divided between Hyun Jin and Jae Suk team and divided the members through rock-paper-scissors.


This is the tree where the members will buy their superpowers from. All of the money they have will be pooled and will be used to buy their superpowers.


Yoo Jae Suk team has Lee Byung Kyu, Kim Hyun Soo, Lee Kwang Soo, Haha, and Song Ji Hyo (they have 13 super powers) while Ryu Hyun Jin team has Kim Jong Kook, Gary, Shin Kyung Hyun, Ji Suk Jin, and Suzy (they have 9 super powers).


Lee Kwang Soo was showing Lee Byung Kyu and Kim Hyun Soo how to drink their super powers.



Shin Kyung Hyun and Ryu Hyun Jin drinking up their superpowers.

For the superpower baseball, I wouldn't be elaborating on the game itself, just on the funny moments and the superpowers that they used as I'm not really well-informed about the rules of the game (baseball).


Ryu Hyun Jin pitched for Kim Hyun Soo and ended up hitting Hyun Soo so that Hyun Soo wouldn't get the chance to do a home run. Instead, Hyun Soo will just advance to the first base.


Because Hyun Jin hit Hyun Soo with the tennis ball (they used tennis ball instead of a real baseball), Jae Suk team were on a rage and attacked Hyun Jin.


Shin Kyung Hyun did the same thing with Lee Byung Kyu.


When it was Gary's turn to be the batter, he hit the ball, but then his body also hit the ball afterwards resulting into him getting out.


Here's the scene where Hyun Jin was teaching Suzy how to swing the bat properly.


Hyun Soo was all smiles seeing the two.


Suzy, being the beginner in baseball that she is, hit the ball (which was a foul) and then ran to the first base with the bat.


Suzy used her superpower..


Which was to freeze all the men in the field except the pitcher.


She was able to hit the ball, and so the men from the other team wasn't able to get the ball that she hit.


Shin Kyung Hyun used his superpower..


Which was to stop the ball (being pitched) so that he can hit it properly.


He hit the ball, but it was a foul. Hahaha!


Ji Suk Jin was pitching, and then he used his power, "controlling the darkness"


So that the batter, Lee Byung Kyu, will be wearing a cute blindfold while hitting the ball.


However, Suk Jin wasn't able to pitch properly and hit Byung Kyu on his leg instead. Haha!


Gary used his superpower, which was to control his lol-lols.


His lol-lols this time were kids who played baseball and then one of the kids was able to catch the ball and passed it properly.



Haha, the legendary pitcher who struck out Ryu Hyun Jin last year, met Hyun Jin again. His first superpower this time made use of a bird, and so everyone's attention was on the bird..


And then someone from above dropped the ball which then resulted to a strike.


The second power that Haha used was the use of the smoke, but then Hyun Jin hit the ball.


However, the ball made it just in time on the 1st base and then Hyun Jin got out.


Hyun Soo used his superpower..


Which was to make the barrier nearer to the diamond so that if his ball reaches the space beyond the barrier, it's already considered a home run.


Hyun Soo hit the ball powerfully, which resulted to a home run.


Gary used another superpower..


Which was sketchy because of the smoke..


And when he threw it, a beautiful red flame appeared, and the ball came from above again, resulting to a strike.


Poor Lee Byun Kyu getting played by the superpowers.


Again, Gary used his superpower, which was to control the ball and made it walk onto the catcher's hand, again, resulting to a strike.


Lastly, Gary used his superpower again and the smoke came out, which gives him a three-strike! Way to go, superpowers! Hahaha~


Hyun Soo used his superpower, which was to control the batter.


Shin Kyung Hyun's bat transformed into an oar.


However, he was still able to hit it and went to the 1st base. 


Kwang Soo used his superpower, which was to put accupressure mats between the first and 2nd bases.


Shin Kyung Hyun was on the first base, and when Suk Jin hit the ball, Shin Kyung Hyun was forced to walk on that mat from hell. Hahaha!


Lee Byung Kyu used his superpower..


Which was to put a "magical zone" and when the ball touches that zone, the batter will be out.


Shin Kyung Hyun hit the ball, and it indeed went to the magical zone.


Ji Hyo used one of her superpowers..


Which was to bring confusion by throwing many balls after she hit the original ball.


Again, Song Ji Hyo used her superpowers..


Which turned Hyun Jin's ball into a bigger ball.. (which should only be rolled)


And her foot into a bat. (so that she could just kick the ball)


And! make the rest of the team (except the pitcher) go to a far place from the diamond.


She hit the ball easily and went to the first base.


The game turned out like this, Jae Suk team 6 and Hyun Jin team 7, because Jae Suk team did their best..


Finally, the last chance came. Jae Suk team wasn't able to catch up to Hyun Jin team and so they lost.


Haha wanted the time to come back (like his power in the first ever superpowers game).


Lee Byung Kyu wasn't able to showcase his baseball talent because of the absurdity of the superpowers baseball, as mentioned by Jae Suk.


So Ryu Hyun Jin's team won, and they got rings!


In the next episode.. we see Lee Seung Gi and Kwang Soo's bromance.. I'm definitely looking forward to that.


Next week's guests will be Lee Seung Gi, Han Hye Jin, and Bora (from Sistar), and together with Running Man, they will be guessing the number riddle.
