Consideration for others? An era where I have to live first.

SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 22nd, when the game between SSG Landers and KIA Tigers was held. The game fluctuated in the seventh inning. This is because SSG foreign hitter Herredia was sent off out of nowhere after hitting a hit.

The situation was like this. Before entering the batter's box, Herredia slowly entered the batter's box after seeing that the KIA battery was not ready to pitch. a kind of consideration. In fact, before the arrival of the Peachclark era, there were many scenes where most players were so interested in each other. For example, if it takes time for a batter to choose the floor of the at-bat and raises his hand to ask for understanding, the pitcher waits for the same reason.




But as I mentioned above, this is the age of pitch clock. Pitchers must throw the ball within a set time, and hitters must enter the batter's box within a set time. In pitch clock, a pitcher must pitch within 20 seconds if there is no runner, and throw within 25 seconds if there is a runner. The batter must complete the batting preparation with both feet in the at-bat at the time 8 seconds are marked. If this is violated, the pitcher will eat the ball and the batter will eat the strike. A player who gets caught in a pitch clock is a huge loss in the count fight.

Herredia took a strike and went to bat. It could have been unfair. Because he didn't intentionally delay the game or do it for his own benefit. This is a case where the injustice was misrepresented.

Herredia made two mistakes. First of all, the time has come when you shouldn't be considerate of the other person. Whatever the opponent does, he or she has to do his or her job regardless of whether he or she gets caught in the pitch clock. That way, you won't lose money. There was an early happening. An exhibition game between the LG Twins and the NC Dinos in Jamsil on March 17. NC pitcher Kim Tae-kyung faced LG veteran Park Hae-min. The routine was long, with Park Hae-min not looking at the pitcher at bat. However, time was passing, and Kim Tae-kyung, who lacked experience in the early implementation stage of the pitch clock, was worried about the pitch clock and sprayed the ball. Park Hae-min was angry, saying, "'Why are you throwing the ball when the batter is not ready?' and continued to the bench clearing of both teams. It was a situation where we had something to say to each other. Without the pitch clock, perhaps Kim Tae-kyung waited for Park Hae-min's long routine I would have thrown the ball. If you look back on this scene by comparing the abusive situation of Herredia, it is concluded that the pitcher was right to throw, whether he looked ahead or behind in the batter's box, because the center was clearly after giving the pitch sign. Since the rules have been set, there is no room to collect unwritten rules within them.




However, the second mistake is important. No matter how angry she was, it was Herredia's fault to swear at the referee. Professional players often express their emotions, but they should never use abusive language so that the referee can immediately know it.
