The LG Twins suffered a come-from-behind loss following the original play. The shock wave was quite large. Ahead of the end of the first half, the LG Twins put up a foreigners' one-two punch, but lost consecutive games.퀸알바
The LG Twins have fallen into a swamp for two consecutive losses. LG also kneeled down 1-4 in the game on the 3rd after losing 2-4 away to Kiwoom at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 2nd.
It was regrettable that the batting remained silent, but one bonehead play that came out of the match on Tuesday was painful. At the top of the eighth inning when LG led 2-1 at the time, leadoff hitter Park Hae-min hit a grounder to the second base against the changed pitcher Joo Seung-woo, but he got on base due to a throwing error. After successfully stealing the second base, Park settled on the third base when Hong Chang-ki grounded out to the second base.
The next batter was Shin Min-jae, who was quick on foot. Shin boldly tried a squeeze bunt on the first pitch. It was LG's bench strategy. But the direction of the hit was directed directly to the pitcher. The moment Joo Seung-woo tried to catch the ball here, Park Hae-min rushed to the home ground and suddenly stopped. He saw it with perfect timing for an outing.
However, Joo Seung-woo fumbled without catching the ball at once. After seeing this, Park Hae-min belatedly dug into the groove again, but was tagged out. If Park had dug into the groove until the end without stopping in the middle, there was a very high possibility of scoring a goal. In the end, LG failed to score a point and suffered a come-from-behind loss by allowing three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning.
"I couldn't help it," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said in an interview with reporters ahead of the match against Kiwoom on Thursday. "It's like a squeeze or a safety squeeze. If you bunt, you're out even if you're out, but you're out at home. That's the basic rule. I practice like that during the camp, too. But since the start was late, I thought I would be out if I just go, so I tried to send Shin to second base after getting caught in a rundown. But I forgot that the accuracy of the pitch was less than 30 percent when a pitcher threw a glove toss or threw it home."
"These are the details. The coaching staff and I need to deliver them in detail at every moment," Yeom said. When a runner goes out, the coaches on the base line always remind them to be careful about line drive outs. Who doesn't know that a runner is dangerous when a line drive is out? It is the coaching staff's role to teach them that. The same goes for a squeeze. Had the third base running coach only said, "It's a squeeze. Go home even if you're late," he would not have hesitated. Therefore, it's not the player's fault, it's me and the coach's fault."
"Coaching staff account for 80 percent of detail execution," Yeom continued. "In the past, only the arm was a running coach, and only the defensive position was adjusted. There was no detail in that. The detail is to explain the play accurately and make it happen. Baseball is a game of flow. If he scored a point from that point, he had a very high chance of winning. However, he failed to do so, and the game turned upside down. Detail is so important that it determines victory or defeat. The point of whether you bring the flow or not is the determining factor," Yeom stressed.
"Details have nothing to do with veteran or novice players. A coach should do his or her job exactly as any player does. He should be a parrot. As a veteran, you don't have to be careful about line drive outs. That's not true," he said. "If you improve in the meantime, you will get better in the second half of this year and next year. All a player has to do is play while listening to a coach. That way, players can play comfortably. It is up to me and the coaching staff to prepare well for the upcoming event."
