It was a shocking come-from-behind defeat. Korea lost 10-11 after allowing eight runs in the bottom of the eighth inning alone when the team was leading 10-3.안전놀이터
KIA's laughter, which lost to Kiwoom at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 7th, completely disappeared.
The crisis began when left-hander Choi Ji-min, who took the mound amid a seven-run lead, gave up two consecutive walks. Kim Geon-guk, who took the mound at the first and second bases with no outs, was hit by Yasiel Puig and loaded the bases. With the bases loaded with one out, he allowed five runs at once after being hit by Lim Byung-wook and Kim Tae-jin.
As the game quickly turned into a close game by a two-run gap, KIA hurriedly raised its core bullpen, Cho Sang-woo. However, even Cho gave up two walks. With runners on the first and second bases with two outs, Jung Hae-young was deployed as the closing pitcher. However, Jung allowed Choi Joo-hwan to complete the game after the walk, as he had a double to turn the tables.
It is a symbolic game that shows that the KIA bullpen is not working normally.
It is regrettable that Cho Sang-woo and Jung Hae-young, the core members of the must-win pitching team, collapsed, but it was a game in which the must-win pitching team did not have to take the mound in the first place. KIA bullpen, which has left-hander Kwak Do-kyu out for the season due to elbow surgery, veteran Lim Ki-young, and thinning depth, has the lowest ERA (6.23). The turbulence of the bullpen is related to Kia's 11 come-from-behind losses, the second largest in the league. It had three losses in games leading up to the seventh inning.
It's a painful defeat from the point of view as well.
With injured players such as Park Chan-ho, Kim Sun-bin and Kim Do-young recovering, it was a golden opportunity to sweep all three consecutive games thanks to the help of Korean starters Yang Hyun-jong, Kim Do-hyun and Hwang Dong-ha. The team was also expected to have a side effect of significantly boosting the team's mood by sweeping the series. However, Kia lost due to poor performance of its bullpen session, once again losing with 16 wins and 19 losses.
In the match against Lotte in Busan on June 25 last year, the Korean team had a 14-1 lead until the top of the fourth inning and then tied the game 15-15, but this year it made an early announcement. The difference from last year is Kia's position, which is tied for sixth place.
Due to a series of injuries sustained by key hitters, KIA fell to the bottom of the list for only one day on April 12. Still, Kia had high expectations that it would be able to advance again when the injured person returns. Kim Do-young has a batting average of 0.333 with 10 RBIs and an OPS of 0.908, while Kim Seon-bin has a batting average of 0.347 with 13 RBIs and an OPS of 0.885. However, Kia has yet to make it to the top five.
Kia has more than 100 games to play and has a chance to rebound. However, Kia's performance is not normal right now.
