'This is the last chance' The embers that didn't go out...Hanwha's first trip to autumn baseball in six years depends on 'this game'

"If there's a chance, I think this is the last time."

The view of the master who went through all the prenatal events was clear and clear.

The remaining schedule of the pennant race is less than 30 games away. Still, the owner of the fall baseball ticket is in the fog. Except for the leading KIA Tigers, which has a solo system, the rest of the teams are vowing to pursue and turn the tables.



The same goes for the Hanwha Eagles. It maintains a gap of less than three games with fifth-place SSG Landers. Considering the remaining schedule of the pennant race, it is still not at the stage to give up the dream of autumn baseball.

The away sweep of Incheon from the 16th to the 18th was crucial. I've narrowed the gap by catching all of the SSGs. Hanwha, which has been in the lower ranks with '9-10-10-10-9' since entering the fall baseball league as third place in the pennant race in 2018, is now dreaming of going to fall baseball for the first time in six years.



Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `In fact, it is difficult to easily overturn the three-game difference with the current ranking competition.' "I thought it was important to play 12 consecutive games from the match against SSG on the 16th." "If I lost my first game in Incheon, the rest of the schedule would have been very difficult." "I told the players "Let's do it with my heart, but I got a good result in Incheon." If there's a chance (to go to fall baseball), I think this is the last chance."

After the sweep of the Incheon SSG match, Hanwha will meet the NC Dinos, Doosan Bears, and Lotte Giants in turn. Winning as many wins as possible against NC and Doosan, which are in the lower ranks but are inferior in their opponents, will open the door for them to determine their advantage with Lotte, the biggest competitor in the semifinals.



After sweeping the SSG match, Hanwha won four consecutive games by winning the first game of the three consecutive games during the week against NC with a 3-2 victory and a walk-off victory in the bottom of the ninth inning. He lost 2-8 against NC on the 21st, putting a brake on his winning streak, but he is gradually reducing his victory against SSG by marking 4 wins and 1 loss and 80% win rate in five games.

It's important to produce results, but that's how much luck you have to follow. SSG, which has to go beyond Mercury to the stable zone, cannot be distracted by Hanwha's pursuit. Hanwha is in a position to produce as good a result as possible and watch SSG's move.

Manager Kim said, `To consistently produce better results, bullpen performance alone is difficult. Veteran and foreign players should continue to perform"The recent good results have shown that Peraza, who had been stagnant in the second half, has continued to gain confidence."

Hanwha, which will play three consecutive away games against Doosan in Jamsil on the weekend, will then have to face Lotte in Busan for the fate of the semifinals. Attention is focusing on whether head coach Kim and Hanwha will be able to make use of the 'last chance' as pledged.
