Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon sent a strong message about foreign pitcher Barria.
Hanwha will play the first of three consecutive games during the week against KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 30th. Although he did not play many games due to rain last week, he came to Suwon after making three consecutive wins with two come-from-behind wins against the Samsung Lions and a victory against the LG Twins on the 28th.
Coach Kim, who met before the game, said, `The first game is the most important in the three away games. In particular, KT has been gaining momentum recently. Forget about winning the last three games and focus on the game against KT," he stressed.
As head coach Kim said, the first game could be a watershed of the week, and Hanwha's selection on the day is Barria. You have to face the opposing ace, Cuevas.
Barria wore a splendid Hanwha uniform as a substitute for Peña, being evaluated as a 'special alien'. However, maybe because of the difficulty in adapting to the KBO league, he is only 3 wins and 3 losses with a 4.09 ERA in 9 games.

Manager Kim said, `Weiss, who is supposed to be with us, still throws six innings each. "Whether we win or lose from the manager's point of view, it's very grateful," he said, adding that when Barria came out, "I have to throw five innings today." Baseball should not keep repeating this situation. First of all, I want you to take responsibility for five innings and win or lose. After that, I want to throw the wind up to the 6th inning," he stressed.
Weiss, who was recruited as Sanchez's short-term replacement, pitched more than six innings in all five games except against LG on the 28th, when he pitched one inning and was withdrawn early. Although the performance was only 1 win and 1 loss, there were many unfortunate games that did not win because they did not receive support from the batters. Coach Kim gave the gift of a complete replacement by using Weiss's innings ability high.
