I think it was a game where the true face of manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was starkly revealed.
Throughout the season, when Moon Bo-kyung and Hong Chang-gi were struggling, they went all-in to save Moon Bo-kyung, saying that if he survived, the team would survive. They played favoritism baseball, and the pitchers died one by one. After nearly three months, Moon Bo-kyung survived, but the team was dying. He said he would take responsibility for it, but suddenly, while eating criticism, he made a sure-win A.B group using six pitchers (I first learned that our team had two sure-win groups). After taking a rest and returning in just one day, we saw the sight of both A.B groups being completely destroyed by a 10th-place team in just one game. I think Yeom Kyung-yeop's lip service was exposed.
You might think, "What can players do?" But when any team operates a season, there are injured players and all players go through slumps. At that time, the coaching staff, operations team, or Futures should work together organically to minimize the damage or slump period. Sometimes they adjust the batting order of the player, sometimes send them down to Futures for rest while also making technical adjustments. It is normal to pour all their efforts into maintaining the team's condition. What about our team?
It's not a matter of corporate employee theory. The manager keeps putting in starting players he wants to use, regardless of time difference adjustment. He operates them as regulars.
Throughout the season, there were about three .100 hitters in the lineup, and we played baseball with bullpen pitchers with ERAs in the 8~9 range. Fortunately, Austin's form was good, and Song Chan and Moon Jung-bin exploded, allowing us to stay at this rank. If even one of the three had been playing at their usual level, we would have been around 5th place.
Now that there's nothing left to steal from LG's barn, Yeom Kyung-yeop's true ability will be revealed even more.
Since Go Woo-seok has joined, I am worried that he will play corporate baseball again this year, just like last year, clinging to veteran players.
Please praise me for watching the game until the 9th inning yesterday. Haha
The players worked hard, and as always, FIGHTING LG Twins!!!
