I'm sure I'll admit it.. Acting Cho Sung-hwan is sick of Weiss pitching → I felt like he was attacking us

Acting manager Cho Sung-hwan looked back on the previous day before the 2025 KBO League match at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 11th.
Doosan, which was dragged by Hanwha starter Weiss' hard pitching, took a precious opportunity in the top of the seventh inning, trailing 0-1. Leading hitter Yang Eui-ji advanced to second base thanks to his opponent's error. Kim Jae-hwan drew a walk and made the first and second bases with no outs.
But Weiss did not waver. He caught Kim In-tae with a fly ball and cut the flow. Lee Yoo-chan and Kim Min-seok struck out in a row. Doosan immediately gave up five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, easing its spirits.
Acting Cho Sung-hwan said, `I want to say a little bit that now the pitcher has also attacked. I felt like Weiss was attacking us rather than pitching. It was hard to score a point```.
Doosan did not operate in that situation. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, Kim In-tae pushed hard. If Weiss is in good condition and it is difficult to expect multiple points, the sending bunt was also worth considering.
Acting Cho Sung-hwan "I've watched several simulations. I thought about changing Yang Eui-ji (second baseman) to a pinch runner and Kim In-tae to a pinch hitter and bunt. Compared to the batters behind and Kim In-tae, Kim In-tae judged that Kim In-tae was a batter who could hit better", he explained.

Acting president Cho Sung-hwan said, `If the first batter fails to solve it, we have to prepare for another pinch hitter later. I don't know what else I'll choose if a similar situation comes, but if I was going to bunt, I would have used a pinch hitter at bat in Kim In-tae.
He continued "I've been thinking a lot, but of course I'm responsible. It would have been nice if there was a good result, but I think Weiss's ball was much better than we thought. "
