Will there be a choice like this again in the history of professional baseball.
There was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble. The most important value in professional sports is fairness. If you give the feeling that you have damaged it, the emotion of those who accept it disappears. This is a lesson from the KIA Tigers, Samsung Lions, and the rare Korean Series '2 Night 3 Days Match'.
KIA, the winner of the regular season, made a new history on the 23rd, taking two wins in the Korean Series. KIA defeated Samsung 8-3 in Game 2 of the Korean Series on the 23rd. And he won a 5-1 victory in the suspended game of the first game before the second game. Thus, he has a 90 percent chance of winning the Korean Series. The two-game winning streak in the Korean Series has lifted the trophy 18 times out of 20.
However, the afterimage of the suspended decision in the first game does not disappear. It was an unprecedented event. The first game between the two teams was held on the 21st. It rained a lot even before the game, and there was a rain forecast until late at night, but the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) pushed ahead with the game for some reason.

Made a fuss. It was something that Samsung had to do with. Starter Won Tae-in was pitching scoreless with 66 pitches. It was almost a complete game. I blew the opportunity. If he played until the end of the sixth inning, there was a possibility of winning the rainfall cold. However, when Samsung scored, it stopped the upward trend as if it was waiting. Baseball is a particularly current sport. KIA, which is in the corner, has given as many as two days to maintain.
|
The conclusion is that there are two mistakes in KBO's choice. First, if it was the rain and forecast of the day, you shouldn't have started the game. It was not an environment where the game would be held normally. It was an hour late from the start. In the rain forecast that continued on the 23rd, he may have pushed for the first day of the game because of the crisis that the game should not be held for two days, but the seed of all misfortune was this compulsory decision.
|
If there was no rain forecast after that, we stopped it for now It could be thought of as a scenario to resume. However, it was information that everyone at the scene knew that it would rain until late at night on the 21st. In other words, if it stopped, the probability of playing again fell. Then, it was right to make decisions such as hitting KIA in the bottom of the 6th inning and Kang Woo-cold or suspended. If KIA had made a suspended decision due to heavy rain at the bottom of the sixth inning, who would have criticized it.
|
As mentioned above, it could be said that Samsung lost with its skills, but it was clear that it was in a situation where it was clearly demotivated to say that it was only making excuses.
|
It was the first time in history that both Samsung and KIA became victims. KBO, which had been on a roll with the myth of 10 million spectators for the first time ever, left a stain on the most important moment.
