The team had a total of 4 hits (Shin Min-jae 2, Song Chan-ui 1, Lee Young-bin 1).
Song Chan-ui and Lee Young-bin's hits were given after the opposing starting pitcher was pitching well, but a 10-minute stoppage due to a umpire change disrupted the pitcher's rhythm. So, in reality, there may not have been 4 hits.
We gave up 13 hits, including 2 home runs, and were completely destroyed.
After the 6th inning, we pulled out all the starters and threw away the game. Park Dong-won was kept in the lineup until he was injured in the top of the 9th inning, while Joo Hun-i showed with his whole body that it was absolutely not okay.
Then, Moon Bo-kyung was sent up as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the 9th inning, but he struck out looking...ㅠ
Our team is currently experiencing a collapse due to the manager's crazy management.
With only 39 games left, we are still dreaming of Moon Bo-kyung's revival and Hong Chang-gi's resurrection while talking about research and improvement as Plan B.
If you look closely, Moon Jung-bin is currently a regular. The reason is that if he doesn't play despite his performance, it will be difficult to withstand the concentrated fire.
Chan-ui is not a regular. If he doesn't get a hit in a game, he won't be put in the next game (even though he did well in the first game, he didn't get a hit in the second game, so he wasn't put in the third).
Jae-won, Young-bin, and Joo Hun-i are not our players according to the manager's standards. They are just emergency players who can be used when the starting pitchers are injured or resting.
Hong Chang-gi and Moon Bo-kyung were already players whose abilities had exploded in the 2022 season.
Since taking office in 2023, they have been using them well, but they are not players who have improved their abilities through training or guidance.
At that time, when Austin and Kim Hyun-soo were only used as the fourth hitter, Bo-kyung was put in and he didn't feel much pressure while playing his own game. He took the fourth hitter position. It's like he discovered a player who was struggling in the minors and raised him to be the fourth hitter, leading them to two championships. Now he is caught up in self-hypnosis and keeps chanting that Bo-kyung must be revived throughout the season.
Is there anyone who doesn't know that Bo-kyung needs to be revived? Since he has no ability to fix it, all he does is chant a spell.
He should have sent him down to the Futures League earlier to rebuild and find a way to fix him, but with the season coming to an end, I don't know if talking about research and improvement makes sense.
What kind of Mazinger Z is Manager Yeom making?
Compared to Bo-kyung, there is a much more talented right-handed power hitter who can be the fourth hitter. His interview saying that he thinks of himself as the fourth hitter and will step aside when Bo-kyung comes back is too much.
Manager Yeom's interviews say that this year was a failure, but he will prove his baseball through research and improvement next year and challenge for the championship. That's even scarier. ㅎㅎ
