What about the use of the second half of the man that head coach Kim Tae-hyung himself "I'm sorry"

The start of the season was a bullpen. Due to the team's situation in early June, the starting position was filled. He showed the veteran's record, but moved back to the bullpen.
However, in the first game of the second half, he started again as a starter. It's the story of Lotte Giants Han Hyun-hee.
Han Hyun-hee pitched hard against the Incheon SSG Landers on the 9th with four runs in five innings.
It started with Jihoon Choi's leadoff single in the bottom of the first inning, and gave up three runs with Choi Jeong-Park Sung-han's double. However, he regained stability by finishing the second inning with three-way withdrawal. SSG was not allowed to get on base except for one walk to Han Yu-sum in the second and fifth innings.
The number of pitches was also 83 pitches until the fifth inning. However, he allowed a double to Choi Jung, the first batter in the sixth inning, and was replaced immediately, but one run was added. The final record was five hits (one homer), one walk, and four runs in five innings.

The problem is that the team situation does not comfortably leave Han Hyun-hee in the fifth starting position.
Charlie Barnes will return on the 10th, but head coach Kim Tae-hyung said of Barnes' pitch count, `First of all, 80 to 90 pitches, 2 games.'
The biggest problem at the moment is the bullpen. In the game on the 9th, when Han Hyun-hee took the mound, Lotte went to a 4-4 tie, but collapsed due to a decisive error by Kim Sang-soo, who played in the must-win group. The must-win group consisting of Koo Seung-min, Kim Sang-soo, and Lee Min-seok is not perfect yet. It also takes time for young must-win teams such as Choi Joon-yong and Jeon Mir to return.

However, as Na Kyun-an fell out, the starting lineup became loose. Park Se-woong is also in a bad shape recently, and Na Kyun-an has been suspended from 30 games and left. Kim Jin-wook is filling the starting spot.
Director Kim Tae-hyung said, `I feel sorry for Han Hyun-hee. He keeps going back and forth without giving a clear starting bullpen position. He's not even a young player...," he said, expressing his displeasure. "I think we need to make a selection right now." was also quoted as saying.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `Lee Min-seok's multi-inning is a little difficult, but he deserves to win about one inning. Apart from the out count, he said, "First of all, the ball speed is good because he has to compete with the batter." He said, "First of all, the must-win group is Koo Seung-min and Kim Sang-soo."
