I said I liked it for three consecutive wins, but I lost 15 points in front of my home fans...Ace Nanta → Rundown failure → Mistake. The master also lost for words.

The Lotte Giants suffered a crushing defeat of 3-15 points against the Doosan Bears at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 4th.
Not only the score but also the game was the worst. Ace Barnes was hit hard, and mistakes were rampant in defense, including errors that were not recorded. There was also a failure of intimidation due to inexperienced communication. Second-year rookie Lee Ho-joon literally had a hard day.
In the end, Lotte's shortcomings were poured out all at once this year, including Jung Cheol-won's overload due to Koo Seung-min's Kim Sang-soo's poor performance, Choi Jun-yong's injury, and the inexperienced defense due to the heavy burden of the starting pitcher. It is not much different from the beginning of last season.
At the start of the game, Yoon Dong-hee and Yoo Kang-nam scored three points first with a timely hit. No one knew this score would be the final score of the day.

In the seventh inning, the must-win team was a natural step, but there were no players to come out. One clear must-win group is Chung Chul-won, but he took the mound in both games against Hanwha following three consecutive games last week, so he was very tired.
In the end, he was defeated by dragging Barnes a little more. He then raised Park Joon-woo, but allowed him to turn the tables, and after that, it was a series of relentless slugging. The 19-hit bombing literally devastated the mound. Veteran Kim Sang-soo, who was considered a must-win team candidate before the season, is unable to play the role of a chasing team.
It was a game that coach Kim Tae-hyung led when he was in Doosan and was directly beaten by veterans who knew how to win. The game management, which was played when necessary and spent when sent, was outstanding. Jung Soo-bin's exquisite bunt was a moment when the flow of the game was completely reversed.

Lee Ho-joon, who served as a vital force by hitting a triple for two consecutive days in the Daejeon series against Hanwha, could not handle the atmosphere of being weighed down. First baseman Na Seung-yeop's catch was also disappointing in the first error. The two wild throws and the sixth-inning runner Kang Sung-woo's side death are not even noticeable.
You have to lose well when you lose. It was a game that showed why Lotte was not considered a candidate for the semifinals.
