Just Son Ah-seop-Park Gun-woo, 10 consecutive losses without him? Last place on the brink of falling, why is it shrinking

The NC Dinos are on the verge of falling to the bottom. NC recently lost 10 consecutive games against the Samsung Lions at home Changwon NC Park over the weekend, losing a sweep.
This is the first time NC has lost 10 consecutive games since joining the first team in 2013. There were signs of abnormality. Since the end of July, the winning streak has disappeared, and the losing streak has continued, and after winning 15-5 against KT Wiz in Changwon on August 4, he lost 10 games in a row, including two consecutive losses against Lotte Giants, three consecutive losses against LG Twins, two consecutive losses against SSG Landers and three consecutive losses against Samsung. There have been two rain cancellations in the meantime, but they have failed to change the mood.
NC has a lot of injured players. It's true that we're far from full force right now. First of all, Son Ah-seop and Park Gun-woo, who were the core of the attack, the center of the lineup, and leading the atmosphere of the team, are out of power due to major injuries. Son Ah-seop, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee, is still in the process of rehabilitation, and Park Kun-woo, who suffered a fracture in his right ulna, is taking rest and rest because he cannot exercise until the area heals.

Even Matt Davidson, the league's No. 1 home run hitter, is unable to play normally for the time being due to an adductor injury. Even Shin Min-hyuk, who was a ray of hope in the rotation that was busy filling the hole, said he felt uncomfortable with his elbow, so key pitching players are suffering from a line injury at the same time. There is no power. In addition, Lee Yong-chan, the oldest pitcher who has been in charge of the closing pitcher, was also canceled from the first-team entry after a series of sluggish performances recently. Lee Yong-chan expressed his regret to his colleagues and juniors, pledged to recover his condition and had time to reorganize.

In the match against Changwon SSG on August 13, Lee Jae-hak lost 0-2 because hitters failed to score only two points despite his best pitching this season, and since then, he has been losing helplessly.
This is not a matter of skill. Now NC is shrinking the entire team. At times like this, key players who change the atmosphere are important, and since most of the starting lineup and bullpen are young players, it is not easy to relieve the rigid atmosphere at once.
NC, which quickly fell to ninth place after competing in the middle rankings, is now one game away from the last-place Kiwoom Heroes. I've lost too much during my 10th consecutive loss. NC will face Hanwha in Cheongju and KIA in Changwon this week. It's hard to meet anyone right now, but I'm waiting until the second ball game with a tricky opponent.
With Hart's exact return date still yet to be set, he has to break the losing streak somehow.
