It was the same maternity leave, but 4 consecutive wins were a hit, 0 homers, 0 RBIs, and two dads with mixed feelings

How can the joys and sorrows be so starkly mixed.
Baseball players are also former players. If you're married, you're the breadwinner. They are fathers who feel the joy of childbirth and the pain of parenting alike.
One of the hardest things about baseball players is that they can't go home. The away game is half the way, and even if it's not the season, you have to go to a long off-season training. I commute to and from my home game, but I return home near midnight after the weekday night game.
Therefore, the joy of the moment of childbirth enjoyed by other fathers can be enjoyed for a while. In the past, there were many strange views of baseball players taking maternity leave. Still, as times have changed, consideration for personal family events has increased these days.
In particular, it is difficult for foreign players to live abroad and not be able to protect their full-term wives. It is fortunate that clubs will be able to go back to their hometowns when childbirth is imminent.

First, Anderson. He was very sluggish in two games before going on maternity leave. The athlete says no, but since the childbirth is imminent, the mind has no choice but to go in that directionThere was no choice but to look at '. On my first vacation, I came back without giving birth, and after pitching against the Samsung Lions on April 9, I went back to Japan, where my family is, and this was the turnaround. After the vacation, he allowed 13 strikeouts and one run in 7 innings against Samsung. The baby was born healthy and has been on the rise since then, with four wins and one loss in seven games. On April 26, the Kiwoom Heroes game was a no-decision game, but he struck out as many as 14 strikeouts. The last two games against the NC Dinos on the 15th and the Doosan Bears on the 21st have become six consecutive scoreless innings.
Is it the so-called ' formula buff'. Of course, it won't be without influence, but there was a secret hidden in Anderson's twist. He found the cause when his team had a slump in the first two games, and suggested that he take maternity leave and take training to fix the issue. Anderson also accepted the request and made a change. Of course, what the problem was is 'business secret'.

However, after going on maternity leave, the bat cooled down. In particular, his batting average in the last 10 games is 111. 0 homers and 0 RBIs. It's devastating. It's cutting off all the flow at the center. As the number of games increases, some say that weaknesses have been analyzed for other teams. Nevertheless, the Kiwoom club brought pitcher Alcantara and kicked Puig out instead of Cardinez. This is because there was a belief that it could rebound.
The player will do his best, and he has never said that directly, but as his performance is poor, there are even talks about 'Honorrhea'. Coach Hong Won-ki said in response, "'This is nonsense for a professional player.'"
The comfort is that the Cadines family is scheduled to enter the country in June. On top of that, the expectation of a reversal itself represents Kiwoom's sad reality.
