It's unbelievable.. haha
Is it because they taste better as a group..
As the impatience of salt intensifies, even the veterans seem to be losing their minds.
Did Park Hae-min remember that he twisted the world line against Kia last year? He ruined the game with inappropriate plays in this series.
When Juheon struck out looking in his second at-bat, manager Kim immediately sent Tuna as a pinch hitter, but he hit into a double play in a scoring chance. In the bottom of the 9th, he flew out on the first pitch, disappointing the fans.
Juheon struck out looking and was the only one who died in the offensive inning, but Tuna hit into a double play on the second pitch. He struck out on the first pitch, wasting three outs and a chance with runners on 2nd and 3rd.
It's a shame that Oh Ji-hwan's near-timed out, but he injured his finger while doing a headfirst slide at first base.
The reason I have been critical of headfirst slides at first base is because situations like this can happen.
How much damage will be caused by this play alone...
It's always been a concern that Chun Sung-ho's play of falling at first base, which was packaged as earnestness and hustle, would backfire. It finally happened with Oh Ji-hwan.
After Chun Sung-ho, players like Park Hae-min, Koo Bon-hyuk, Austin, etc., have also done headfirst slides at first base.
I wish they would suspend a player for one series or fine them for headfirst sliding at first base in the future. ㅠ
It was funny when Moon Bo-kyung came up as a pinch hitter with two outs in the ninth inning, but it was even funnier when Hong Chang-gi came up as a pinch hitter after a walk.
I wish they would say something like, "The opposing pitcher seemed to be shaking, so I sent Chang-gi in to get a walk. With runners on first and second, I sent Lee Jae-won in hoping for an extra-base hit or a home run." during the post-game interview.
So that we don't resent the salt...ㅠ
The players worked hard, and as always, go LG Twins!
