"Baseball is not a sport of safety bread. 'I want to do better' That's the only thing I think about."

Replacement of a pitcher who won the first 10 games in history. Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung expressed his apologies but was adamant.

Lotte will play the first game of the weekend series against SSG Landers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th.




Lotte sent Tucker Davidson off after the match against the KIA Tigers in Busan on the 6th. Davison pitched six innings and one run in the final game to fill the double-digit win, and was able to play a farewell interview with reporters.

Davison was not a bad pitcher, unfortunately. It was regrettable that he became a pitcher in five innings due to his poor pitching and timid control compared to the beginning of the season, but on the contrary, he was a pitcher who did not have that much 'disappointment'. He also complies with the 10-5 record and 3.65 ERA, which is easy.

However, coach Kim Tae-hyung was not satisfied. "I want to do better." contains his inner thoughts in words.




"Do you have to go to baseball as a safety bread?" A new pitcher (Vince Velazquez) may come and throw well, but he may not be able to throw completely. But Davison has seen something. Of course, 10 wins is a good throw. But even if he didn't win 10 games against other teams, he's a better pitcher than Davison. Honestly, isn't there a pitcher?"

Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `I hope Velazquez will make up for Davidson's shortcomings. We have to open the lid to see if we can fill it up." Rather than watching it on video, he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Velazquez entered the country on the same day, but due to problems such as jet lag, he returned home after only greeting the team. Until the period of visa issuance, I decided to stay in the hotel for the time being. Although Davison has been released, he will have time to stay with his wife and other family members and organize his mind.




Considering the issuance of visas and Velazquez's condition, there will inevitably be one or two starting vacancies. Director Kim Tae-hyung said "There was news of rain at the weekend. They'll think about it based on the situation," he replied.
