A spoonful of anxiety even with a dramatic come-from-behind victory? No. 1 error → Shaken starter Lotte still lacks details

The starting pitcher shook and gave up four points first, but turned it over to 'back'. The cool harness of 'Captain' also burst. However, it is regrettable.

Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th. Lotte Giants won 8-6 against the Kiwoom Heroes with Jeon Joon-woo's come-from-behind two-run in the bottom of the eighth inning.

The process of a difficult come-from-behind victory was not as neat as it was. It was a crisis called by a shaky defense, and it was a loss. Lotte's first run and one extra run at 2-4 were all infuriated by errors.




Kiwoom Choi Joo-hwan's monstrous performance, who had hits in the second, third, and fifth innings, or Jeon Tae-hyun's timely hit in front of the right field in the first run. However, an error occurred in the process of home broadcasting, and additional runs were made. It was recorded as a throwing error by right fielder Jang Doo-sung, but considering that the throw hit the catcher's leg and went out, it can be seen as a catcher Yoo Kang-nam's throwing error.

When additional runs were lost in the top of the fifth inning, Lotte's defense's chronic "collusion (rundown) mistake" came out. Starter Na Kyun-an was replaced after giving a hit ball to the leadoff batter, Cardinez, and Chung Hyun-soo struck out Lee Ju-hyung, the first batter.

And he tied Cardinez with an exquisite check, but as shortstop Jeon Min-jae's throw hit Cardinez and fell out, the situation without runners with two outs changed to one out and third base. Choi Joo-hwan's timely hit made it 2-5.




As the commentators pointed out, the defense's movement was regrettable in the situation of intimidation. The runner was already completely caught in check and isolated from the pile, and the process of tightening from both sides is necessary.

However, Lotte's infield team made an error while hastily exchanging throws according to the runner's movement while not being tightened yet.

Chung Hyun-soo, who was responsible for the first ⅔ inning with 31 pitches without shaking, should be praised, but it was a mistake that made Chung's shoulders too heavy. Manager Kim Tae-hyung cannot even take the lead in such comprehensive details.

As if clear feedback was made from the bench, Kiwoom Kim Tae-jin was tagged out neatly in the situation of intimidation between the first and second bases in the top of the sixth inning. Unlike in the fifth inning, he steadily narrowed the distance from both sides and pressed the runner.

Lotte ranks second in double play (17), first in Kiwoom 18), and first in errors (22 and second in Kiwoom 19) this season. All are competing for the first place with Kiwoom in last place. The spirit of the rookie and the veteran's seasoned skills are good, but in order to go to autumn baseball, we must correct the weaknesses of these details.
