"It's scary whenever a player gets hit by a ball in the head. I hope Jeon Min-jae comes back as soon as possible."

He pitched well on the edge of the cliff. It was 6K with two hits and one run in seven innings, which was ace-like pitching.

But Lotte Giants Barnes couldn't laugh. A colleague's shocking injury wiped the smile off Barnes' face.




Barnes won his third win of the season (4 losses) in the first game of the week series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 29th.

Nine consecutive games will be held for a week due to the Children's Day holiday. It was a good start.

He pitched in six games before the game on the day, winning two games and losing four with a 5.67 ERA. It was a serious report card that could be considered for replacement. Is it a trauma to lose seven runs in three innings of the opening game against the LG Twins.

Head coach Kim Tae-hyung said "The problem is that the ball speed has dropped a lot. I think the end of the ball is blander than before. "Can he be in good condition every time. It could be better again today, he said, leaving room. He also added that as he is a long-term foreigner in his fourth season, he needs to use the height instead of the fastball-slider-changeup pattern.

"Foreign pitchers are sensitive, so it's hard to say katabuta." If you throw well, you keep going, and if you don't, you just change it. There is also a self-routine, and Barnes gives his own autograph. So we have no choice but to watch."

Barnes's good pitching was relentless. Except for the surprise home run allowed by Cardinez in the first inning, it was a pleasant advance without any serious crisis. Despite the error of first baseman Na Seung-yeop in the bottom of the second inning, he was not shaken even after giving up his only walk of the day in the bottom of the third inning. He kept the mound with 95 pitches until the seventh inning.

Barnes, who met after the game, said "The offensive pitch worked well and the fielders defended well"I looked back. Regarding the reason for the recent sluggishness or reverse split (the left-hander tends to be weak against left-handed hitters and the right-hander tends to be weak against right-handed hitters), he explained that the slider control was not better than before.

Regarding the part of signing autographs directly with Pitchcom, "We have a lot of conversations between Yoo Kang-nam and the inning. It always helps a lot. My goal is to improve myself day by day." "After the sixth inning, I looked at the number of pitches and talked about, "Let's finish well until the seventh inning" he added.

Above all, he was worried about Jeon Min-jae, who left after being hit by a head shot dune during the game. "I hope Jeon Min-jae gets well as soon as possible," Barnes said. It's a scary situation at any time. I hope to be back as soon as possible. I want to see Jeon Minjae again," he said, expressing his concern.
