Don't cry, kid. Why did the coach leave a request to LG fans

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop burst into laughter talking about fourth batter Moon Bo-kyung before the match against the KIA Tigers in Jamsil on the 28th. A 25-year-old man, 182 centimeters tall and 88 kilograms in weight, sat on a bench and cried like a child.
The reason why Moon Bo-kyung shed tears was complex. He made two fatal errors against KIA in Jamsil on the 27th. It was a big mistake that almost led to LG's defeat.
The first error came in the top of the fourth inning. With no outs and no outs, KIA Patrick Wisdom hit a ground ball toward the third baseman. Moon Bo-kyung made a bad pitch at second base while trying to connect with a double play. It should have been a situation without runners with two outs, leading to a crisis of first and second bases with no outs and Choi Hyung-woo's timely two-run double on the right field line made it 0-2.
Moon Bo-kyung made another error in the top of the fifth inning. Choi Won-joon's ordinary grounder to third base after one out. Moon Bo-kyung just had to catch the ball and throw it well to first base, but a ridiculous bad pitch came out. Starting pitcher Son Joo-young was shaken when he walked the next batter, Lee Chang-jin. One out, one on the first and third bases. First baseman Austin Dean handled Park Chan-ho's ball with a straight hit and touched the first base to force out first baseman Lee Chang-jin to end the inning. If it wasn't for Austin's good defense, LG would have been on the verge of losing points again.
LG came from behind dramatically in the bottom of the sixth inning. KIA veteran left-hander Yang Hyun-jong pitched scoreless until the fifth inning, then walked Austin after one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. Here, Moon Bo-kyung is a fly ball to the left field. With two outs and a runner on the first base, Moon Sung-joo got on base with a heavy hit, and Park Dong-won hit a three-run left-hander to turn it over 3-2.
Kim Jin-sung allowed Wisdom to score an equalizer in the bottom of the eighth inning. It was Moon Bo-kyung's at-bat again in a golden opportunity with one out and third base. Moon Bo-kyung really wanted to be determined this time, but he only struck out swinging. He returned to the bench in vain and sat down, and Moon Sung-joo hit an RBI single on the second baseman's right infield hit to seal the 4-3 victory. At that moment, Moon Bo-kyung began to cry.
In the meantime, he felt a lot of pressure as the fourth batter because of his poor results at the plate, and he felt sorry for the team because he couldn't make up for his mistake at the plate, but Park Dong-won solved it and burst into tears of relief. After Moon Bo-kyung's error, captain Park Hae-min called a team meeting on the ground to deliver a message to focus more. It seems that my heart was heavy one way or the other.
Coach Yeom said, `Yesterday (27th), the game turned around, and he was fine until he struck out and came in. But when it turned around after hitting a hit, he was sitting next to the beverage refrigerator and crying. He burst into laughter, saying, "I really cried."

The director fully understood Moon Bo-kyung's mind. After the game, he also mentioned Moon Bo-kyung separately in the Seungjang interview.
Director Yeom wiped away his tears so I wouldn't cry. 'It's a girl. If the pillar of our team is like this, will baseball go back?' I understand that feeling. (Moon)Didn't Bo-kyung exert much more influence on the winning game. Bo-kyung plays a huge role in keeping this ranking now."
The words of request to LG fans continued. Moon Bo-kyung is a player who needs to grow into LG's No. 4 hitter, so even if he doesn't do well, he is asking for more support than rebuke.
Coach Yeom said, `What I want to ask the fans is that the players we need to raise and the players we are developing should be supported rather than reprimanded. Don't fans want Bo-kyung to be the main player in our team more than anyone else. Of course, you will be angry at the player who has succeeded in fostering and is going to the pillar of the team, but I think you will feel the same way as our staff. He's our fan anyway. If you give us a little warmer encouragement rather than a rebuke with the heart of nurturing our players together, it will help our players grow a little bit more and help the league develop more," he said.
Moon Bo-kyung was excluded from the starting lineup on the day. Since I cried like that the day before, it is a consideration to organize my mind and go.
LG made the starting lineup with Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Austin Dean (1st baseman), Park Dong-won (designated hitter), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Chun Sung-ho (3rd baseman), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Lee Joo-heon (catcher), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). The starting pitcher is Song Seung-ki.
