Time bomb Anderson...There have already been signs of hot temper since Park Chan-ho's visit

A four-day match between SSG Landers and NC Dinos. The most talked about the game was the war of words and bench clearing between foreign players from both teams.
The scene in question came out in the bottom of the 10th episode. The SSG bench put starter Drew Anderson on the mound. As it was the last game of the first half, he was determined to win by mobilizing all of his players.
Anderson finished the inning perfectly in the bottom of the 10th inning by striking out three batters, but there were conflicts with NC foreign players in the process. Shortly after striking out Kim Sung-wook, Anderson looked angrily at the batter and said profanity. Kyle Hart and Daniel Castano, who were on the NC bench who immediately understood English, could not hide their displeasure, and a war of nerves unfolded as they criticized loudly. Anderson, who cursed at Hart saying "FXXX you", struck out two more batters later and went down the mound, but bench clearing later took place. When Hart couldn't contain his anger and criticized him for mixing swear words "Leave here", SSG players and coach Lee Sung-yong came out to the ground excitedly. Fortunately, the bench clearing did not continue for a long time, and the game continued after each of them returned to the bench while collecting emotions.

He is sensitive to his opponent's behavior or play, and has a hot temper. There had already been such a sign. The match between SSG and KIA Tigers took place in Incheon on the 11th of last month. Anderson, who was also a starter at that time, threw a threatening ball against KIA Park Chan-ho in the second inning. The ball flew towards the head, literally 'Empty Ball'. It was fortunate that Park Chan-ho avoided. In the U.S. Major League Baseball, there are cases where threatening balls are thrown dangerously toward the head, but in the Korean KBO League, no player throws the threatening ball usually toward the back and toward the head.
