I shouted for change, but it was chaotic. The change I tried to change the atmosphere was rather poisonous.여우알바
The Doosan Bears made massive changes ahead of this week amid a slump of one win and five losses last week. The team has replaced pitching coach, bullpen coach, battery coach, and operation coach, and even released foreign hitter Henry Ramos, who was batting average in the 300s, to exhaust all two cards for replacement of foreign players. In addition, the team has made a bold decision to assign a spot to infielder Lee Yoo-chan, who devoted himself to defense practice in the outfield, to increase his playing time this season.
Change immediately led to a sweet result of victory. He met the Kiwoom Heroes in Jamsil on weekdays and decorated three consecutive games with the Winning Series. Amid strong pitching by Choi Joon-ho and Kwak Bin, and veteran hitters’ awakening, he won 6-3 on Sunday and 7-4 on Sunday, riding a winning streak for the first time in about three weeks since the game against the Lotte Giants on Sunday.
However, Pyeonghwa briefly mentioned its chronic weaknesses such as poor start and batting lineup. Short-term foreign pitcher Keisho Shirakawa, who was recruited by pouring 34 million won (34,500 U.S. dollars) into the team for six weeks, was substituted early for three consecutive games due to four ⅔ innings, five walks and two runs, while the team dedicated its first quality start plus victory to Kiwoom rookie Kim Yoon-ha, who was realizing the lofty challenge of professional baseball with an ERA of seven points. Only Jung Soo-bin in the first inning and Jeon Min-jae in the fifth inning had hits until the seventh inning.
Lee Seung-yeop moved to batter-friendly Munhak on Wednesday, expressing his strong expectations for the rebound of his batters. When he returned to the lineup after taking a break from hitting his shin two days ago, he said, “I have to play even though the baseball stadium is small. In the end, our team needs Kim Jae-hwan to hit the ball. To win, we need Kim Jae-hwan’s strength. Now that I am in Munhak, I will look forward to a long hit.”
Contrary to expectations, Kim Jae-hwan became the sixth designated hitter against the Incheon SSG Landers on the 26th and was silent with no hits and three strikeouts in three at-bats. He met SSG starter Drew Anderson and struck out swinging after two outs in the top of the second inning, and struck out rookie as a leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning, and struck out swinging on Anderson’s curve in the top of the seventh inning with the first runner reaching the second base on a wild pitch. It was the moment when he, who was running at the top of the league’s strikeout list despite a four-year, 11.5 billion won contract for an ultra-large FA, added three strikeouts to further widen the gap with second place.
In defense, Lee Yoo-chan’s poor defense disappointed Doosan fans who came to the third base stands despite the heat wave. In the bottom of the seventh inning, with two outs and no runners on the ground, he misidentified the falling point of an ordinary fly ball by Jihoon Choi, and caught the hit in an ambiguous position. The way he blocked the ball with his body was not an outfielder’s defense. As an infield utility player, Lee’s defense risk, which once even wore the national flag, eventually exploded.
It was also regrettable that Cho did not apply for a video review in the top of the third inning. After Cho hit an exquisite bunt in a chance to score on the second base with one out, he went into the headfirst sliding on the first base, and the first base judge declared out. The video review application was expected as Cho arrived at virtually the same timing as third baseman Choi Jeong’s throw, but Kim Dong-han, the new coach for the first base, did not send any signals to the bench.
Doosan eventually lost 1-6 to SSG, falling into a swamp that became second consecutive years. Even the diehard jinx of literature could not escape, and the losing streak at Landers Field increased to six.
They shouted and shouted for change, but the wave of change was not fully established on this day. Rather, it was counterproductive. Doosan is now trailing the fifth-ranked NC Dinos and the sixth-ranked KT Wiz by one game.
