I don't even know if I'm going to take it seriously.
The Lotte Giants are crying over a double play. As many as eight double plays came out in the last game of the first half and the first two games of the second half. He hit four against the Doosan Bears on the 10th and four against the LG Twins on the 18th. In the match against LG, Jeon Jun-woo's straight hit with one out and second base and second baseman Reyes even made a double play that forced him out. In other words, he was double out five times in nine innings against LG.
Lotte lost to LG 1-2 on the 18th. Jeon Jun-woo's timely hit in the top of the first inning led the game 1-0, but Park Dong-won's tiebreaking solo shot and Lee Joo-heon's come-from-behind double in the top of the second inning turned it over 1-2 and continued to hit to get on base to seek a chance to turn the tables, but it continued to be blocked by double play.
In the top of the second inning, the lead Yoo Kang-nam hit a single, but Jeon Min-jae's double play in front of the shortstop came out after one out, and in the top of the third inning, Hwang Sung-bin and Han Tae-yang's consecutive hits created a chance for the first and third base, but Reyes' double play that rolled in front of the third baseman quickly cooled the upward atmosphere. In the top of the sixth inning, Reyes hit a double in left-center after one out, creating an opportunity without a double play, but Jeon Joon-woo's hit flew straight to the shortstop and was out on a line drive, and Reyes' return was late, so another inning ended with a double out.
In the top of the seventh inning, Yoo Kang-nam hit a single after one out, but Na Seung-yeop hit a double play in front of the second base, and in the top of the ninth inning, lead Han Tae-yang walked and created a chance to tie the game, but after Reyes struck out, Jeon Joon-woo was double play in front of the shortstop and the game ended.
Starter Alec Gamboa had a quality start with five hits (one home run), three walks, eight strikeouts, and two runs in six innings, but he became a losing pitcher after five consecutive wins because he was not helped by the team's batters.
Lotte has the largest number of double plays this season with 91. The joint second place is Samsung, Kiwoom, and KT with 64. There are 27 differences. That's how many opportunities have been lost.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met on the 19th, the next day, is also frustrated with the double play. When asked about the double play, head coach Kim Tae-hyung, who said "I'm worried", said "I'm afraid of maggots, so I can't bunt one out…"," he said, expressing his frustration.
Coach Kim, "Isn't the 5th inning just over?" most regretful of Reyes' double play in the top of the 3rd inning with one out and runners on the 1st and 3rd bases in the previous day's game, adding, "If only one hit comes out, it will be connected…," he said, unable to hide his regret.
