Can we laugh together next year.

Coincidentally, Lotte Giants and Hanwha Eagles faced a tragedy together. Tragic numbers are all gone. Hope for fall baseball has completely disappeared. Even if you win all the remaining games, there is no chance of a turnaround.

Lotte and Hanwha lost side by side in the KT Wiz and Kiwoom Heroes match held on the 24th. KT's players' concentration was high as they were engaged in a fierce fifth-place fight. Kiwoom is at the bottom, but it was the final match at home. He put all his energy into the final game of the season in front of home fans.



Both teams' chances of advancing to the postseason have completely disappeared. There was a faint hope, but it was actually difficult to go to autumn baseball. The head coaches of both teams could not have been unaware of this. He may have been planning for next season.

It's a tragedy of two popular teams over and over again. Lotte has failed in fall baseball for seven consecutive years. 6 years for Hanwha. In fact, it can be said that the dark period is longer except that Hanwha briefly stepped into autumn baseball in 2018.

It can be said that the failure to advance to the postseason is a day or two, but this year, it is more hurt. Lotte ambitiously recruited manager Kim Tae-hyung, who is the winning contractor. I was confused between the group and the club, but the fans longed for it and eventually the fans dressed Kim in Lotte uniforms. But even if I met manager Kim, Lotte did not change much. At every crisis, the bullpen collapsed, and important games were blown away by a series of errors. The comfort is that he has created fielders such as Son Ho-young, Ko Seung-min, and Na Seung-yeop who can become the main players.

Hanwha also made a drastic decision to dismiss head coach Choi Won-ho early in the season and recruit head coach Kim Kyung-moon. Hanwha fans also saw their expectations go up in the air. It was expected that Hanwha's constitution would be improved through uncompromising mercenary skills. In addition, Yang Seung-kwan and Yang Sang-moon, two experienced coaches, were also a big help.



In the second half of the year, he seemed to have finished booking tickets for autumn baseball, causing a syndrome of 'Blue Hanwha'. However, as he suffered five consecutive losses in the final game, his dream to advance to the postseason was postponed until next year.

a repeat of expected disappointment. Will next year be any different. Still, it's worth hoping for. Lotte's team grasp was completely over with head coach Kim Tae-hyung playing one season. This year, there was a difficult part in the composition of the lineup at the beginning. He gained stability in the second half of the year. The same goes for Hanwha. Coach Kim Kyung-moon's full-fledged game will be next season. It would have been an unexpected bonus concept if you went to baseball this fall, and it was a time to take off for a higher place next season.
