"The end of the bat remained." It was a chance to finish first in the first half of the year, but one win, one draw, and one loss, and the weather judgment and check swing misjudgment

Samsung has played three consecutive away games against KT Wiz since the 28th of last month. Samsung, which was in second place until the 27th, is 1.5 games closer to the leading KIA Tigers, who have recently slowed down. Depending on the results of the three consecutive weekend games, it was possible to regain the lead.
Except for the opening two consecutive wins, Samsung has yet to take the lead this season.
It was a golden opportunity. Samsung's starters are Reyes, Baek Jung-hyun, Won Tae-in, and KT's Joey-hyun, Um Sang-baek, and Ko Young-pyo in order.
But it was twisted from day one.
On the 28th, Samsung took a 4-0 lead amid Reyes' six scoreless innings.
However, the bullpen that I believed collapsed. After allowing a 3-4 chase with two runs in the seventh inning and one run in the eighth inning, Oh Seung-hwan allowed a sweeping walk-off double to Hong Hyun-bin with one out and runners on the first and third bases in the bottom of the ninth inning. a four-to-five upset.
The real problem was the next day.

Samsung's batters burst from the beginning.
He gave up the first run in the first inning, but he targeted KT starter Um Sang-baek and led 7-1 until the fourth inning.
The weather forecast is not wrong. It began to rain around 6 p.m., an hour after the game began. Amid KT's attack in the bottom of the fourth inning, the game was eventually suspended at 6:26 p.m. due to a strong rain.
The rain never stopped. Although the rain became thinner for a while, it was eventually canceled at 7:25 p.m., 59 minutes after the suspension, and a no-game was declared.
It is unfair for Samsung, which is on the verge of winning. If he had just one more inning, he could have won the rainfall cold. Baek Jung-hyun, who started and pitched one run, only lost his card.
The gentle Samsung manager Park Jin-man was also angry. At a briefing on the 30th, the next day, "It seems that the judges confirmed the no-game because they looked at the weather radar and judged that it was likely to rain more." But I'm sorry about that part why I didn't check the radar before the game." Then "The game seemed to be stopped by anyone on the radar before the game. For fairness, I want to check those points before the game," he said, expressing his unfairness.
The doubleheader on the 30th was also disappointing. In the first game, Ryu Ji-hyuk's tiebreaking hit drew 2-2 after reviving in the ninth inning due to an opponent's error. However, in the second game, starter Hwang Dong-jae, who quickly called up, failed to attack KT's bullpen, which was played on bullpen day, even though he pitched well with one run in five innings.

Leader Ryu Ji-hyuk got on base due to an opponent's error. The structure has become similar to the tie in the first game.
Subsequent Park Byung-ho stopped the bat down to Park Young-hyun's low fastball in one strike. But strike call 0B2S.
At the moment when Park Byung-ho, who was holding the end of the bat tightly so that it wouldn't turn, was dumbfounded. The broadcast commentator who checked the slow screen also said, `It's worth making that expression. It seems that the end of the head remained", he said, expressing his misjudgment. The caster also expressed regret over the misjudgment, saying, `The coaches were dissatisfied with this check swing or not.'
In the end, Park Byung-ho, whose ball count was at a disadvantage, retired with an infield pop fly at second base with no outs. The moment when I felt sorry that there wasn't even a jin-base hit.
Yoon Jung-bin's walk made the first and second bases with one out, but Samsung lost due to a failed follow-up.
The moment when the situation would have been one win, one draw, and one loss left. Samsung failed to reduce its lead over KIA, which had remained in three consecutive losses. He is in third place, two games behind, and will play three consecutive home games against the leading KIA team from the 2nd. If the game gap was reduced in the series against KT, the possibility of finishing the first half would have increased, so it remained a bigger regret. If Samsung wants to finish the first half of the first half, it will have to sweep three consecutive games against KIA, and second-place LG will have to lose at least one game. However, there is a rain forecast in Daegu on the 2nd.
