There was a 'checkout argument' between the LG Twins and the Doosan Bears. LG threw 13 check balls to Doosan's pinch runner Cho Ha-sung. Doosan's acting manager Cho Sung-hwan expressed his dissatisfaction honestly, saying "Didn't he go too far?" In response, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop accepted "I understand" to prevent "confirmation."

Controversy erupted at the bottom of the eighth inning of the showdown between LG and Doosan in Jamsil on the 26th. Kim In-tae, the leadoff batter, walked to base in the bottom of the eighth inning with LG leading 4-3. Doosan put in a pinch runner Cho Soo-haeng. LG pitcher Kim Jin-sung threw 13 first base checks while facing batter Yang Seok-hwan and Lee Yoo-chan.

The next day, acting Cho Sung-hwan "Is it okay to throw so many check balls?" I thought it was too much," he said, targeting the LG bench.




Kim Jin-sung threw four check balls in a row to Yang Seok-hwan's at-bat. While striking out Yang Seok-hwan, he threw eight checks to the first base. Boos erupted in the Doosan stands, and LG's stands also shouted against it. In Lee Yoo-chan's at-bat, with one out and one on the first base, he threw five check balls. When Kim Jin-sung threw the fourth pitch to Lee Yoo-chan, Cho Soo-haeng managed to steal second base. The scene that was not connected to the score but showed Cho's persistence and concentration. Apart from this situation, LG won the game 4-3.

Acting Cho Sung-hwan wanted to break the flow. There was no justification for appeal because it was a play that took place during the game. Still, I would like to highly praise the player who succeeded in stealing a base there. I felt sorry for the player in the group"I looked back.

If head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop was angry about this, there was a good possibility that it would lead to an emotional battle. As it is accepted, it can be felt as a protest against the bench judgment from LG's point of view. He didn't break the rules either. Major League Baseball considers the third check ball a balk if it fails. There are no restrictions in the KBO League.

However, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop asked for understanding that LG had no choice, saying, `I understand.' Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `That one point was a very important situation. Cho is more likely to steal than other runners. We had to tie it up somehow. On the contrary, I think Doosan did a good job. I think he threw 13 balls because he put pressure on us."

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "The KBO League should introduce a restriction on the check ball like the Major League." Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Honestly, we play baseball, and we get a lot more checks from our point of view. I wish I could cut it down for speedup. There are three in the United States, but why don't we make a balk for the fourth time?"
