I've never... Silence unfamiliar to veteran coaches who are looking at 1,000 wins → Significant changes in the lineup

Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon won 900 games in June last year. He achieved 938 wins until last year, and is looking at his third 1,000 wins in history after former coaches Kim Eung-yong (1554 wins) and Kim Sung-geun (1338 wins).
Even for such a veteran coach, Hanwha's move since the opening is embarrassing.
Hanwha has a team batting average of only 1209 in its opening five games. The score is only nine points. Although he achieved the opening game with a victory, he has lost four consecutive games of the season due to the silence of the batters.
Considering that the team's ERA is in fourth place with 3.53, the poor batting average is even more unfortunate.
The lineup has been changed. Until now, Hanwha has placed Kim Tae-yeon and Moon Hyun-bin at the table setter, and Esteban Floral, Noh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-sung have entered the centerline. An Chi-hong was out once due to poor condition on the 26th, but An Chi-hong, Lim Jong-chan, Choi Jae-hoon and Shim Woo-jun filled the bottom batting line.

Manager Kim said, `We may lose in our first start and have lost consecutive games, but we have never had a hit like this. The atmosphere becomes heavy even if you play two-hit games or two. On the contrary, LG pitchers were good in the previous game, and some of them blocked good batting by good hitters. As a result, players might feel pressured because they try hard and do well" he pointed out.
Director Kim said, `We have to put up with it and wait for now. The batting coach will also be frustrated, especially if the players try a lot, but if they don't hit, they will be frustrated. So you have to tell me a good story. Baseball has a long season. You have to wait a little longer while smiling" he said.
