'I thought I could turn it around' KIA's decision in 2024, Doosan's defeat in 2013, and the Dodgers' choice to beat the Yankees?

KIA Tigers fans, who were leading the series with 3 wins and 1 loss, visited the stadium in anticipation of a confirmation date for the championship.
But at the beginning of the game, the pattern didn't go my way.
Yang Hyun-jong, who believed he would block him in the fifth inning, allowed five runs with three home runs in two ⅔ innings and was substituted early.
I was curious about the judgment of the KIA bench, but the answer came out quickly.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho did not think about 'Tomorrow' He began to mobilize all bullpen cards that could turn the tables.
Kim Do-hyun, who was a scheduled card in the event of the starting collapse, scored three points in the fifth inning while blocking Samsung's batting line until the fifth inning to tie the game 5-5. From the sixth inning, the must-win group, which leads to Kwak Do-gyu, Jang Hyun-sik, Lee Joon-young, Jeon Sang-hyun, and Jung Hae-young, participated.
In the end, KIA added two points to win the Korean Series 7-5.

"I thought there was a good chance of winning if I blocked it well here. Samsung also doesn't have many pitchers, has thrown a lot, and has injured players. I was thinking that if Do-hyun keeps putting the must-win players behind him, he will definitely follow him."
It's not an easy choice to compete in a losing game.
However, director Lee made a choice without tomorrow unlike a beginner. Of course, even the worst-case scenario of consuming and losing the bullpen played a role in the situation that it could win the remaining 6th and 7th games.

Doosan, which was leading by 3 wins and 1 losses at the time, made the game, which was trailing 1-4 in Game 5, at the starting point of 5-5. However, he was defeated 5-7 after saving the winning team. It was the moment that provided the starting point for allowing Samsung to come from behind to win the game with four wins and three losses.
The Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball won the World Series for the first time in four years.
The Dodgers won Game 5 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium on the 31st (Korea time) with a dramatic upset. Although it was far behind 0-5, it dug into the Dodgers' defense's three mistakes in the fifth inning to tie the game at 5-5, and scored two runs in the eighth inning to complete the victory.

The Dodgers, who won three games first, were cautious.
He didn't win the game in Game 4 on the 30th. Freddie Freeman's first two-run shot led 2-0 on the day, but he lost 4-10 in the third inning, allowing a turnaround, including a bases-loaded hit by Anthony Wolfie.
The Dodgers scored two runs in the fifth inning to chase 4-5, but they did not put in a must-win group. It was a judgment that "a game that did not lead with certainty".
If there was no mistake in the fifth inning of the Dodgers, the reversal of Game 5 was not easy. The Dodgers would have been nervous if they had lost Game 4 and Game 5 and were chased with 2 wins and 3 losses. Maybe it was hard to guarantee a series victory.
Although it had a happy ending, it is hard to be sure whether Roberts' choice, which saved the winning team in Game 4, was unconditionally correct. There is no right answer to baseball.
