"It was a heat wave, but I kept running...."

The Hanwha Eagles lost 2-13 in an away game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd.

He struggled from the first inning when he met ninth-ranked Doosan. Starting pitcher Hwang Joon-seo was shaken, with three home runs in the first inning alone, and Um Sang-baek, who followed, wanted to go through the second and third innings well, but he was attacked in the fourth inning and scored six runs in two ⅔ innings.




As the game leaned from the beginning, Hanwha replaced several main players. Lee Won-seok replaced Liberato in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Shim Woo-joon was also replaced by Lee Do-yoon. Chae Eun-sung was also replaced by a pinch runner in the top of the sixth inning and left the ground, and Noh Si-hwan also changed with Hwang Young-mook in the bottom of the sixth inning.

By giving up the game on the day, Hanwha stopped its 10-game winning streak. a defeat that had been beaten for the first time in a long time. It was regrettable, but it was rather comforting that the game was leaning from the beginning as it was not possible to win all games.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said ahead of the match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 24th, `It was a heat wave, but the players continued to play. If I win, I couldn't take it out as soon as I won, but in the case of yesterday, I thought I should arrange the physical strength of some players. I'm trying to solace myself with that." In the case of a close game, the main player must be appointed without replacement until the end. However, as the flow went over from the beginning, I was able to give a break for a while.




In the first half of Hanwha, Um Sang-baek kept his starting rotation. However, he was sluggish with 1-6 losses and a 6.33 ERA in 15 games, and Hwang Jun-seo eventually entered as a substitute starter.

Hwang served as an alternate starter in the first half of the year. He showed off his stability by playing more than five innings in all four of the six games he started. However, he did not play for 13 days due to the All-Star break, and failed to show his form in his first appearance in the second half.

Director Kim said "Live pitching was done, but there may be a difference between throwing it according to the routine and coming out (for the first time in a long time). I think I'll throw better next time" he said.

Coach Kim said, "(Hwang) Jun-seo has been throwing well, but he played with Heo In-seo yesterday with a young battery. Heo In is also a player who will be a good player, but he cannot ignore the experience. I'm sure INNER CIRCLE felt it a lot"I want to quickly forget about yesterday's loss and show you good content before I go to Daejeon."
