Hey, you're a novice director. I think NC is doing well enough

NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon confessed that his nerves have become very sharp recently. He said he lost his laughter and couldn't rest properly.
An unprecedented blood-drying ranking fight. NC is also in the vortex. 7th place. However, he is 1.5 games behind the 5th-ranked Lotte Giants and 1 game behind the 6th-ranked KT Wiz. It is a situation that can be reversed enough, but it is stressful for the coach as it is interpreted that he has to play tirelessly with the most games left among the 10 teams while the starting team is not stable.
However, from a third party's point of view, a director who has a good personality does not seem serious enough to lose laughter. In fact, few experts saw NC as a top-five player before the season. The fielders' power is not bad, but there were many positions that fell compared to the top teams. The starting team was really difficult if Logan, who was brought as an ace, was not cool, and Riley couldn't pull the team 'catch the collar'. Would it have been possible to talk about '7 starter' before the opening. As such, there were not enough players to trust and entrust. When Koo Chang-mo returned from the military service, he liked it, saying he could compete in the second half of the year, but the Koo Chang-mo has yet to throw. The bullpen also had many players who would not know unless they were fans of baseball.

In addition, there was an element that coach Lee could use as an excuse. Earlier this season, the game schedule was pushed back due to a casualty accident at Changwon NC Park, his home stadium, and he had to continue his away life. It's too bad for the bereaved family of the accident, and I couldn't even express that it was difficult because I was so guilty as a manager, but in terms of baseball alone, it was bound to be a huge minus for the performance.
Any other coach might have appealed that the disadvantage affected this year's performance. However, director Lee bluntly says "It's just that we weren't good enough" whenever it comes up. I don't make excuses.
However, they are competing with strong teams in autumn baseball. This alone is a great achievement. Of course, it would be great to advance to the postseason at least a few places. How will NC's journey end this season. Even if they can't go to fall baseball, NC is unlikely to be criticized. In other words, if he advances to the postseason, coach Lee will be able to completely remove the beginner's ticket and receive good reviews.
