This is what Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man said after winning Game 3 of the Korean Series against the KIA Tigers at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 25th.
Samsung returned to its home Daegu after losing both the first and second games in Gwangju. And he succeeded in counterattack by hitting four solo home runs in Game 3. Coach Park said, "The lineup has revived," and was confident that the series would not end like this.
And there was another basis for expressing confidence like this. It was Won Tae-in. Following good pitching in the first game, he will take four days off and play in the fourth game. Since Samsung set up an atmosphere of reversal, KIA was forced to feel pressure if Won Tae-in threw well. Coach Park said, `Won Tae-in and Reyes are so stable that they feel like they will win no matter what if they go out.'
However, coach Park would not have expected Won Tae-in to collapse like this.
As Won Tae-in collapsed, Samsung also collapsed. The shocking pitch, and the result.

Kim Sun-bin's sense of touch was so good, but Won Tae-in's ball power was so low that he was able to see it and continue to cut it. From the standpoint of Samsung, which lacks a must-win team, it was not a good idea for Won Tae-in to increase the number of pitches from the beginning. Won Tae-in pitched 32 pitches in the first inning.

It completely collapsed in the third inning. KIA batters turned their bats comfortably as if they were practicing batting. I couldn't talk about it first when the team was in desperate need of pride. Kang Min-ho, who went through all the prenatal events, called the trainer first. And replacement. There was a shoulder problem. A Samsung official said, `We replaced Won Tae-in to protect the player because he felt uncomfortable on his shoulder.'
Song Eun-beom, who came out after Won Tae-in, was hit by a full base gun by Kim Tae-gun, and the game actually ended there. However, since Won Tae-in threw an unbelievable shock pitching, the atmosphere of the game has already tilted toward KIA. Samsung, which was completely defeated 2-9, is now on the brink.
