In the game against Kiwoom on the 11th, Weiss came down the mound with 93 pitches in 8 innings. When Weiss decided not to go up in the ninth inning, his colleagues teased "Why didn't he throw when the number was only that?" Weiss reversed that he would also go up in the ninth inning, but it was not accepted.
On this day, he expressed his greed for the ninth inning. Weiss said "The coach said he wanted to go up to the eighth inning, but he wanted to go up to the ninth inning. He said he would play one more batter. The manager suggested that if the leadoff hitter gets on base, let's change it. "If you wanted to finish the ninth inning, you shouldn't have given a hit today. "
Weiss was sluggish in the last game with four runs in five innings. I was sluggish, but I was disappointed that the team lost. I tried my best with a renewed mind. I tried a lot even before the game, and I did a lot of analysis. Thanks to that, I think I solved it well" he said.
