"I played a really hard game because there was no middle pitcher because I lost the game."

NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon praised the shock sweep loss to the lowest Kiwoom Heroes last week.

The start began on the 5th, the first day of the three consecutive games, when NC starter Mok Ji-hoon was pulled out early in ⅔ innings. Mok Ji-hoon, who has been serving as the fifth starter this season, gave up straight walks to Song Sung-moon and Choi Joo-hwan from the top of the first inning and was unable to control the ball. Subsequently, Lee Joo-hyung allowed a hit ball to the body, loading the bases with one out. Ruben Cadines caught the second out count with an RBI sacrifice fly, but Kim Tae-jin, the sixth batter, hit an RBI timely hit. Then, he walked Eo Jun-seo again.




As the inning did not end and the bases loaded with two outs continued, the NC bench could not wait any longer. He put in Lee Joon-hyuk, who quickly warmed up from the bullpen after putting down Mok Ji-hoon. He showed his willingness to catch the game without any more runs with two runs in ⅔ innings 'quick hook'.

As a result, however, the operation failed. Lee Joon-hyuk, who took the mound in a hurry, also gave up two more points, and NC, whose starter went down too fast, had to exhaust seven pitchers by putting in another alternative starting resource, Kim Nok-won. And he was completely defeated 5-8. Since Tuesday, the first day of the week, the aftereffects of using many pitchers have been great. The remaining two games against Kiwoom were also almost blood-shed, and as a result, the shock was great as they suffered a sweep loss.

Coach Lee Ho-joon, who is in a fierce five-way race, was eager to catch at least one more game, but it was a series that he clearly felt. Coach Lee Ho-joon, who met ahead of the Doosan Bears match in Jamsil on the 12th, asked about the ranking fight, `I'm going to try not to do it as much as possible. It's weird that consciousness keeps getting tangled up " We fought a game and failed last week. I had really tough games because there was no middle pitcher. I thought I could go up well in the series against Kiwoom, so I thought I should bring a victory even if I tried a little too hard, but it didn't work out well. It was really hard because I used a lot of pitchers. One game against KIA was canceled by rain, so I had time to relax, otherwise it would have been really difficult. I felt that if I overdo it and go wrong, there will be a bigger crisis this time,' he said honestly.

But once again, the difficulty of choosing came. In the very day of the game, starter Kim Nok-won was lowered in two innings. When Kim Nok-won stopped the second inning well after allowing one run in the bottom of the first inning, and gave up one more run in the third inning with a double and an infield hit, head coach Lee Ho-joon again chose 'quick hook'.

Another winning move. But I succeeded this time. After lowering Kim Nokwon, Im JunghoJeon Sa-min, Bae Jae-hwan, Kim Jin-ho, Kim Young-gyuAnd Ryu Jin-wook. Currently, the bullpen's must-win and chasing teams have been dispatched, pouring in seven pitchers, and this time, they have secured a three-to-two, one-run victory until the end.

Considering that it is Tuesday, the start of the week again, the exhaustion of seven pitchers from the first day may have been burdensome. But was it a prediction that took into account the weather forecast. There are rain forecasts including Seoul on the 13th and 14th. If even one game is canceled, the aftermath of the exhaustion of seven pitchers could be small.




However, it is also a cold fact that the continued sluggishness of the 4th and 5th starters in Korea and 'quick hook' will inevitably act as a physical burden to the bullpen at the end of the season.
