Before we talk about Ryu Hyun-jin, I didn't score too well a failure that was more painful than a grand slam

Hanwha Eagles have lost five in a row. The three-game sweep loss against the Doosan Bears at home in Daejeon this week was so painful.
In particular, he even gave up the game on the last day. In the game on the 21st, when Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound, Hanwha had a 2-2 tight tie until the sixth inning. Until the sixth inning, Ryu Hyun-jin drew the inning without much crisis by tying the Doosan batter's lineup to just two runs.
But joy and sorrow were divided in the last shot. Ryu Hyun-jin throws about 80 pitches. There is still room and the team was in a four-game losing streak. As the 2-2 tie continued, the Hanwha bench also put Ryu Hyun-jin on the mound in the top of the seventh inning.
However, after Ryu Hyun-jin allowed consecutive hits to Yang Eui-ji and Park Joon-soon, Ahn Jae-seok's bunt hit also became a hit, driving the bases to full base with no outs. And he threw a curve ball to the next batter, Park Gye-beom, and allowed a grand slam that flew well over the left fence. The impact of being hit by Park Gye-beom, who is not a batter who hits a lot of home runs, was significant. In the end, Hanwha, which collapsed by this home run, lost 3-6, losing five consecutive games.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who met with reporters ahead of the match against Daejeon SSG Landers on the 22nd, the next day, said "Before we talk about Ryu Hyun-jin, we need to hit more."When Ryu Hyun-jin throws, our scoring support is too weak. It seems to be in this situation for four to five consecutive games, but he has not been able to support scoring. I can't make it comfortable enough to throw it."
"It feels different from continuing to pitch after the run-off score yesterday, and playing in a tie."Rather than Ryu Hyun-jin, who allowed a decisive home run, he reflected on the disappointment of the lineup, which failed to hit the jack log in the beginning.
Although it faces a crisis, it is predicted that it will be able to overcome this crisis as well. Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `In baseball, wins and losses always go back and forth. When it's good, it's a winning streak, and this is a time when we cringe a little. I think players can win consecutive games at some timing. We have to play well in the first of three consecutive games this weekend," he stressed.
