Starting with Ryu Hyun-jin, a mental prop, he has a starting lineup that is not behind any team, including Cody Ponce, who is eight wins and no losses, Ryan Weiss's foreign one-two punch, and fastball prospect Moon Dong-joo, and baseball is possible with a bullpen that sprays fastballs such as fastball closer Kim Seo-hyun, Han Seung-hyuk, Park Sang-won, main phenomenon Kim Bum-soo, and Cho Dong-wook.
What the team on the mound needs is a stable defense. Since hitting has cycles, there are times when it bursts and times when it is silent, but defense can always help pitchers if it reduces mistakes.
One of the things to be most careful about in defense is not to be greedy. They are often greedy for the wrong circumstances, but they make the situation worse.
Hanwha had greed that it should not do right at the bottom of the seventh inning against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 28th, and it eventually blew the victory of ace Ponce, who was playing well, and sent it to the door of the defeat.
Hanwha led 4-0 against the opponent Koen Win by scoring three points with Floral's solo shot in the top of the first inning and four hits in the top of the third inning.
Starting Ponce received a solo shot from Kim Hyun-soo in the fourth inning and Lee Young-bin in the sixth inning, but continued his good pitching with two runs.
I took the mound until the seventh inning, but the first crisis came. A ball hit by the first-runner Moon Bo-kyung and a left-handed hit by Park Dong-won made him the first and second bases with no outs.
No. 6 Koo Bon-hyuk tried to make a sacrifice bunt. The first pitch was about to bunt, and I watched it, and it was a strike. On the second pitch, Koo Bon-hyuk changed to hit in the bunting position, but Hanwha took the ball out high with a pitchout.
LG also had an operation at stake. Koo Bon-hyuk hits with a fake bunt and slash, and runners run with a hit and run. When Haponse threw, the runners started to run, but Hanwha's bench, which saw through it, pitched out, and Koo Bon-hyuk couldn't hit the ball, so the runners got caught.
Second baseman Moon Bo-kyung ran a little and quickly returned to second base, but Park Dong-won had a wide lead, so he was almost two-thirds of the way to second base.
Hanwha catcher Choi Jae-hoon threw to second base, and one of the two was threatened. When shortstop Ha Joo-seok caught the ball at second base, Moon Bo-kyung ran back to third base and Park Dong-won ran to first base.

However, as soon as Noh Si-hwan caught the ball, he threw the ball back to second base. When Park Dong-won was seen coming to second base, he seemed to have calculated that he could catch him first at second base and put Moon Bo-kyung back into intimidation.
However, when the ball arrived, Park Dong-won's foot reached second base a little faster, and when second baseman Hwang Young-mook, who caught the ball, threw it back to third base, Moon Bo-kyung, who ran back to third base, also arrived at third base and was safe.
If Noh Si-hwan did not throw to second base but targeted only Moon Bo-kyung with a threat, the situation that would have been one out and second base would have become second and third bases with no outs while trying too hard to catch both.
However, Ponce still beat LG batters with a powerful ball. Koo Bon-hyuk was struck out swinging, and Oh Ji-hwan, who came in instead of Shin Min-jae, also struck out three pitches.
However, Park Hae-min hit a fastball thrown toward Park Hae-min, which was missed. However, this hit became a lucky hit that fell to a place where both third baseman, shortstop, and left fielder could not catch, and in the meantime, both runners homered and tied 4-4. Knowing that the runners were both slow, the greed became a source of concern and it became an excuse to tie.
Ponce, who smiled and acknowledged his mistake when he hit a home run by Lee Young-bin, also looked hard when he lost a point due to a regretful mistake, and hid his face with his glove when he left the mound after the bottom of the seventh inning.
Fortunately, Hanwha was no longer a weak team that collapsed by such a mistake. Afterwards, LG's offensive was prevented, and Chae Eun-sung's dramatic two-run shot in the top of the 11th inning allowed a thrilling 6-5 victory.
But it's different to make this mistake in a big game like the postseason. Hanwha is still showing regret in details such as running errors. Hanwha has to reduce such mistakes in order to win in the future.
