Even Kim Tae-hyung, head coach of the world, is having a hard time with repeated reversal losses. The late smile hung over the head's expression.
The Lotte Giants will play the second game of the week series against the NC Dinos at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 7th.
On the previous day, Lotte won a 6-5 victory with Na Seung-yeop's winning shot in the bottom of the eighth inning. Trailing 1-5, he tied the game with a concentrated shot in the bottom of the seventh inning, and turned it over in the bottom of the eighth inning. At the top of the ninth inning, Kim Won-joong faced a full base crisis, but he blocked it without losing a point and won three consecutive games.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, whom I met before the game, said, `It's okay because I won. If it turned upside down yesterday..."I looked back on the dizzying night before.
Starter Wilkerson was replaced in five innings, but Kim Kang-hyun and Park Jin lasted two innings. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `There is a sense of stability on the mound. The ball is better than before. From now on, I'm going to use it boldly even with a one-point difference."
As for the closing Kim Won-joong "Gugi or ball control is fine. Two types of pitches are enough to finish the game. After all, it's a count fight. I think I'm good at preparing for folk balls when I have an advantage," he added.
In the end, it means that Kim Won-joong should throw a fastball more boldly. As a result of increasing the proportion of fastballs the previous day, both two hits and Kwon Hee-dong's straight hits were not regular hits.
He also gave strength to Na Seung-yeop, who is about to hit the final hit, with a word of appropriate advice. Na Seung-yup said "Before you go into your last at-bat, look at the zone wider than usual. If you think it's similar, turn it confidently. He explained, "I just thought about it and hit it without being nervous, which led to a good result."

Director Kim Tae-hyung said, `Look at the zone wide and don't miss the ball that comes to count…It's easy to say, but it's not easy." He then stressed that "Na Seung-yeop or Ko Seung-min, yesterday, aimed well at the ball coming in to count from the first pitch."
This is Na Seung-yeop, who returned from the military athletic unit (Sangmu) last year. This year is actually the first full-type season, but Altoran-like performance with a batting average of 399, five homers and 41 RBIs, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.887 stands out. The dream of becoming a military first baseman is growing.
