Something was weird. He was responsible for seven innings with his 107 pitches, but there was no congratulatory hug from his Eagles' fifth starting teammates. This is because von Liummun really believed in the `Man of Two Faces' Weiss' `Punka`.
Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park on the 5th. Hanwha Eagles foreign pitcher Ryan Weiss started the game against the Samsung Lions and threw 107 pitches until the seventh inning, blocking the opponent's batting line with one run.
Weiss, who threw 94 pitches until the sixth inning, also took the mound in the seventh inning with his team leading 2-1. He struck out Koo Ja-wook, the first batter, swinging. The next batter is Diaz, who struck out as many as 13 pitches at the plate before the fifth inning. In the seventh inning, he hit a grounder to second base with only five pitches.
When the number of pitches reached 103, Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach, visited the mound. Coach Yang, who went up without lifting the ball, asked Weiss if he could face another batter. Weiss's answer is "yes"
Weiss, who threw four more balls, finished the inning by treating Kang Min-ho with a ground ball to second base. There was no change in Weiss' expression, who maintained a poker face throughout the game. Weiss came down, tapping his glove lightly.
There was no change in Weiss' expression even though he was welcomed by his colleagues in both directions. Weiss seemed to have sent some sign to Ponce or Ryu Hyun-jin at this time.
Catcher Lee Jae-won, who worked together, approached and hugged Weiss.
Fellow players and coaches, including Kim Tae-yeon, also celebrated the fight by hugging Weiss. However, there was no hug from fellow starters, who became a symbol of the strong Eagles. Where is the Ponryuum Gate?
Ryu Hyun-jin's Ponce Moon Dong-ju and Um Sang-baek stood in order in the first row of the dugout and visited Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach. Coach Yang was surprised when Ryu Hyun-jin confirmed that `Wice will also take the mound in the eighth inning.'
Coach Yang is rubbing his hands against Weiss. This is because Weiss expressed his intention to throw another inning.
Despite Yang's death, Weiss's will was strong. In the end, coach Yang had to make an X with his hands and dry Weiss.
Why did the playful happening in the dugout happen? There is a story. In the match against Doosan in Daejeon on the 10th of last month, Weiss shook his hand toward the bench after two outs in the eighth inning and refused to replace him. After being replaced, he expressed his anger even when he came into the dugout, and eventually apologized to manager Kim Kyung-moon after the game.
Weiss made a 'self parody' of what happened a month ago because of his desire to win. Fellow starting pitchers believed it, and Yang Sang-moon was surprised. The dugout became a sea of laughter at Weiss's delightful parody.
Starting pitchers who were tricked by Weiss's prank belatedly came down below the dugout and hugged Weiss one after another. Ponce still raises a finger and '1 more innings?proposed '
Weiss thought he was a person with no laughing cells. He is the opposite of fellow foreign pitcher Ponce. However, on this day, Weiss's mischief and laughter broke the prejudice beautifully. Five eagle brothers made another painting.
