Defeat, defeat, defeat, defeat → Bulpen review book 12.17 Bombing win rate of 50% is also a miracle, where is it twisted

SSG Landers is in crisis again. SSG, which has been on the rise for a while, has recorded three consecutive losing series since last week. SSG, which gave up all two games after winning its first game against Samsung in three consecutive away games in Daegu on June 18-20, recorded 1-2 losses against NC in Incheon, and met KT again this week and only 1-2 losses.
The losing streak was not long, but the losses accumulated faster than the wins. He only won and lost two games to five in seven games. SSG's current ranking is 5th. It maintains a close winning rate of 50 percent, but the gap with top teams has widened. While No. 1 KIA to No. 4 Doosan are 3.5 games apart, No. 4 Doosan and No. 5 SSG are three games apart. Fortunately (?) No. 6 NC did not give up 5th place as it suffered a sweep loss to last-place Kiwoom, but it is on the verge of losing even the 5th place if it goes wrong.
In the last seven games with 2-5 wins, the team's bullpen ERA has reached a whopping 12.17. He is overwhelmingly in last place among the 10 clubs. In 23 ⅔ innings pitched by bullpen pitchers, he allowed as many as 34 runs (32 earned runs). There is no backdoor crackdown at all. Considering that the starting lineup's average ERA was 4.70, which was ranked fifth, the rate of reversal in the second half increased extremely.
The KT match on the 27th is also painful. Starter Keisho Shirakawa allowed three runs in the first and second innings, but after that, he quickly found balance and recorded no runs until the fifth inning. And he kept the mound in the sixth inning due to the small number of pitches, but the defense did not help. With third baseman Choi Jeong's error, a bigger crisis came, and he eventually put in a bullpen after lowering Shirakawa.
This is where the worst came out. Go Hyo-joon, Han Doo-sol, Seo Jin-yong, Baek Seung-gun, and Shin Heon-min. On this day, all bullpen pitchers put in by SSG recorded runs and were completely defeated by KT's batters. Shirakawa's struggles have also been overshadowed. He went down the mound with the starting win requirements, but he allowed a tie immediately and was defeated 8-16 after the bullpen collapsed. The SSG bench quickly took the timing of the pitcher's replacement, with the starters faltering for a while. Even if the starting pitchers faltered a little, they were determined to put in the bullpen quickly to catch the game, but rather, a series of troubles in the bullpen continue. Closer Moon Seung-won, who had been playing well at the beginning of the season, has also seen his hit rate soar due to his recent drop in pace.
SSG will hold a three-game series against Doosan in Jamsil this weekend and a three-game series against NC in Changwon next week, before the All-Star break. Both are tricky opponents. SSG won the first three consecutive games against Doosan this season, but on the contrary, it lost the second three consecutive games. It was extremely weak for NC with one win and seven losses. The start of the second half will vary depending on how you finish the last six games in the first half.
