The Hanwha Eagles lost 1-3 to the Lotte Giants of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Sajik Stadium on Sunday in the first of three consecutive games during the week. The loss stopped the team’s winning streak at 3. At the same time, the team gained the upper hand in three consecutive games during the week. The team’s record for the season is 56 wins, two draws and 61 losses.
The loss was regrettable. He was leading the game 1-0, but allowed a come-from-behind victory in the bottom of the eighth inning to kneel down. Notably, it was all the more painful because Han, who had an earned run average of 0.90 (one run in 10 innings) this month, collapsed. Han lost the game by allowing three runs in ⅓ innings.안전놀이터
Hanwha pitcher Wire plans to take the mound as the starting pitcher in the second game of three consecutive games during the week against Lotte in the “2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League” at Sajik Stadium on Sunday. He will take the mound in five days after taking a four-day rest after taking the mound against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on Sunday. Hanwha Eagles
“The past is just the past. Today and tomorrow are important for the team to run hard again. We should do our best to catch the rest of the games.”
Against this backdrop, Kim and Hanwha have taken chances to win. With no clear five starting pitchers available, the team plans to send out foreign pitchers Ryan Weiss and Jaime Barria as turnovers on Wednesday to fill the vacancy of the starting lineup. It is unusual considering that starting pitchers usually have five days off. The team apparently intends to clearly manage the game to advance to the postseason.
Hanwha was shaken by Kim Ki-joong, the fifth starter, allowing 10 runs on four innings of nine hits (two home runs) and four outs against the LG Twins in Daejeon on the 15th. He sent it down to the Futures League to have a period of adjustment, and there was a hole in the fifth starting position. In the match against the Cheongju NC Dinos on the 21st, Kim Do-bin was surprisingly used as the fifth starter, but it was not fun.
At the time, Kim had to leave the mound early on as he allowed one hit, one strikeout, three walks and two runs in ⅔ innings. The team will start the remaining games after the game against Lotte Giants from July 27 to 29. Ace players can take the mound after a short break since they do not have to play six games every week like they did during the regular season. If possible, four-day turn by starting pitchers will be of great help to the team.

As planned, Hanwha announced Weiss as the starting pitcher against Sajik Lotte on the 28th. This year’s record is 3 wins, 3 losses and an earned run average of 3.63 in 57 innings in 10 games. He will take four days off after taking the mound against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 23rd. Barria will play in the match against Sajik Lotte on the 29th. He had started against Doosan in Jamsil on the 24th.
Currently, Hanwha, ranking seventh in the league, is fiercely competing with not only Lotte but also the teams in the middle and lower ranks. It is only one game behind the KT Wiz, ranking fifth in the league, which is the last place to advance to the post season. It is a two-game race against Lotte, which is just one notch below the Lotte Giants. If the team loses in the loosing series or series, it will be heavily chased. It is an opponent that the team must catch. It seems that Kim intends to widen the gap by using foreigners’ one-two punch instead of the five starters who are less likely to win.

He will take the mound in five days after taking a four-day rest after taking the mound against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on Sunday. Hanwha Eagles
“It is not easy even for a foreign pitcher for a manager to ask a pitcher to leave the mound one day earlier. I would appreciate it if the players willingly said, “Good. I will throw it,” but the players also take it seriously as if it were their lives. Fortunately, the two players (WICE and Barria) gave positive comments, so we are preparing (for the turn on April 4).”
Will Hanwha and Kim be able to achieve their desired result in the remaining season? Blue Hanwha, which chose “four-day turn” as foreign pitchers, took a chance to win the bid to advance to the postseason.
