The Lotte Giants fell to last place alone in the opening six games.
Lotte lost 0-2 to KT Wiz in the opening game of its home game in Busan on the 28th.
The breathtaking water bat is causing pain to Busan baseball fans. Starter Barnes washed away the poor performance of the opening game and pitched well with five hits, two walks and one run in seven innings, but Lotte's batting line-up only had two hits in seven innings without four outs against opposing starter Heyesus.먹튀검증
Quality Start (QS), which assumes easy pitching by a starting pitcher, is based on three earned runs in six innings. Although Jung Cheol-won reportedly added one more run, two runs made the mound more than good performance.
Team sports also affect each other. Just as pitchers are forced to strike out when there are more mistakes, a pitcher's heart will become impatient if he fails to score a point.
On the day, coach Kim Tae-hyung gave a sense of crisis to his team by substituting four players for the first division entry. However, the team had only four hits. Veteran Kim Min-sung, who had just been called up in the second division, had two hits, and the existing players ended the game scoreless after Na Seung-yeop and Yoo Kang-nam hit one by one.
As a result, Lotte has scored only 10 points in six games and an average of 1.7 points per game since the opening of this season. In fact, unless the mound is completely shut out, it will be difficult to win. As a result, one win and five losses, and the only win is against Incheon SSG Landers, who won with "three points" after 11 extra innings on the 25th.
It is not just one or two players. A total of 10 batters or more have played for Lotte this season. Of those players, only two are Cho In-geun (five hits in 14 at-bats) and Jeon Min-jae (three hits in 15 at-bats). The rest are all batting around 100%.
Earlier, manager Kim Tae-hyung sighed, saying, "The situation is similar to that of the beginning of last season. The batting lineup is not exploding at all." "How can we win if the opposing pitcher is good or bad? In the end, the main hitters should hit it."
Lotte is a team that ranked second in the team batting average (285.5%) and second in the team OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage, 0.782) last year.
However, Lotte does not have many veterans with steady careers. Most of the hitters who lead the lineup, including Son Ho-young, Yoon Dong-hee, Na Seung-yup, Ko Seung-min, and Hwang Sung-bin, were "career high" last year. This means that it is not yet known whether it is late to improve in condition at the beginning of the season or whether it exposed weaknesses in other teams' analysis.
What is clear is that Lotte's various indicators are in danger level, not in the first week of the season. Lotte ranks ninth in the batting average (1888), ninth in the number of hits (36), minimum score, and 10th in the RBIs (more than 10 points) in the OPS.
On the same day, the Hanwha Eagles and the Doosan Bears, who had 1 win and 4 losses together, won side by side, and Lotte fell to the last place alone.
Notably, Hanwha, which ranks 10th in the batting average and hits categories, had four homers, and has a shot that can turn the game around at any time. A case in point is the match between the KIA Tigers and the home opening match in Daejeon on Friday, which changed the trend by Kim Tae-yeon's shot. In addition, Noh Si-hwan (two) and Lim Jong-chan (one) had previously hit home runs.
Lotte has neither Kim nor Kim Tae-yeon nor a new stadium, although the home opening match of the same provincial team is held. Lotte is the only team among the 10 teams that has not made a single home run this season.
Hanwha's new stadium was opened on the day. When Jamsil New Stadium and Cheongdorm are opened soon, Sajik Baseball Stadium will become the most old professional baseball stadium in Korea. However, the incumbent mayor is only turning a blind eye to the irresponsible blueprint, which has pushed the groundbreaking date far beyond his term in office. The new stadium project is still sluggish and is full of complaints.
The only thing they are ashamed of is their fandom, which fills up their home stadiums even at the start of this season and calls for the Giants even if they die. Will Kim Tae-ho be able to show a solution during the remaining weekend series against KT, which is already a natural enemy.
