The problem is that Kim Do Young's return doesn't have an atmosphere to solve.

KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho seems to have been unable to sleep at night. This is because he blew a golden opportunity to escape seven consecutive losses.

KIA had a 2-2 draw against the Doosan Bears at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 30th after a close game in the 11th inning.




It may be said that it is fortunate that the team that has lost seven consecutive games has not lost. However, it is a big shock that it was the worst game that might have been better to lose or lose. It's because I didn't get anything, except for the strength until the end of the extension.

Incredible scenes have emerged in both ball and ball, where people can't help but question whether they are the unified winners last year. First, the 8th episode. They were leading 2-1. Cho Sang-woo in the eighth inning and Jung Hae-young in the ninth inning just needed to keep one point.

However, Jo Sang-woo got a double by pinch hitter Jung Soo-bin. It can be right. The problem is that when they fall into a long losing streak, the players are overwhelmed with anxiety about what to do if they lose again, and the anxiety stiffens their bodies, resulting in unexpected play results. Doosan's Lee Yoo-chan's sacrifice bunt. First, he had to catch a batter at first base and increase the outcount, but Cho Sang-woo's throw flew one-bound and Kim Kyu-sung, who came in the base cover, failed to catch the ball. a pitching error. He changed the second baseman from Kim Sun-bin to Kim Kyu-sung ahead of the inning, and this kind of play would have forced him to sigh.




He gave up the tie in vain, but the changed pitcher Lee Joon-young also put the team in a crisis by making an absurd 'Arirang throw' over the first baseman's height in the same bunt defense situation. There are quite a few pitchers who have a hard time spraying the ball near them, but Lee Joon-young, who has never shown such a scene, was forced to see it as a mistake caused by tension and pressure.

Fortunately, Doosan did not suffer a setback due to its chance to hit the first and third bases with no outs. KIA had a golden chance in the bottom of the 11th inning. a bases loaded with no outs. Even if only one of the two hitters hit a sacrifice fly, it was an escape from seven consecutive losses.

However, things started to get twisted when Park Chan-ho miscreated Park Shin-ji's first pitch. It was good to judge that Park Shin-ji, whose control was extremely shaky, would throw a first-pitch strike in a situation where he could not retreat. However, Park Chan-ho also put only 's sacrifice fly' in his head, so he used his wrist to spread the ball to the extreme. The third baseman couldn't move because the ball was barely out of the infield. Team betting intention was good, but it backfired. If I had swung my bat with confidence, I would have had less regret.




Kim Kyu-sung also swung under pressure not to be struck out in a 1B2S situation. The ball is bound to be caught in the net of Doosan's infield, which defended forward. Even Choi Hyung-woo, who he believed in, retired with a fly, and the game ended in a tie in vain.

A game that showed how much a losing team's game can be twisted around. If the team's atmosphere subsides like this, it is difficult for KIA, no matter how good it is, to get a chance to rebound. In fact, the team's atmosphere is bound to be restless due to the shocking trade that threw the winning move, but the players are bound to lose more confidence as they have played a shocking game once a year or not.

The good news is that Kim Do-young, who injured her hamstring, will return next week, but with the current atmosphere and performance, it is difficult to expect that Kim Do-young will improve dramatically even if she comes. Synergy can be created only when Kim Do-young joins the team as soon as possible.
