0.115, 1-hit neighborhood humiliation Samsung Ta-seon and Jun PO are different, burden is SSG's share, and Choi Won-tae's possible surprise rebound

Game 2 of the wild card match against NC at Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th. Won Tae-in of the Samsung Lions, who led the team to a 3-0 victory and a semi-playoff with six scoreless innings, expressed the burden that he weighed down only after the game.
A wild-card game in which only one game out of two wins or draws will pass. There's a lot of pressure that goes beyond 'winnin'. There was also the first case. The first wild-card game that the Doosan Bears, ranked fourth last year, lost. It is not difficult to guess how much burden the Samsung squad had to give up the first game.
Pitchers are better. If you avoid panic, a moderate burden can increase your concentration.
However, the batter who 'indirect touch' the ball through a tool called bat is different. As soon as you feel burdened, the bat control becomes heavy. As the strength goes in, Chala's timing fight is pushed back. Once twisted, a vicious cycle of hell awaits. It's easy to ruin the day with anxiety at bat.

Samsung had only six hits and four points in two games with a 0.115 team batting average. He won the game by scoring one point in the first game and three points in the second, but failed to produce a single hit from the second to the ninth inning. He even set an unwelcome new record of winning at least one hit in the fall baseball history.
The players who had to play in the big game were silent one after another. Only top hitter Lee Jae-hyun was active with a batting average of 0.429. Kim Sung-yoon, Koo Ja-wook, Diaz, and Kim Young-woong's left-handed line of fear did not use much power. Kang Min-ho, Kim Ji-chan, and Ryu Ji-hyuk's bottom hitter also failed to get a hit.

There were ups and downs, but Samsung avoided the worst. I did everything I had to do because I was on the semi-playoff stage in fourth place. From now on, it's literally 'bonus game'. You can take the burden off and play with the easy mind of 'underdog'.
The situation is also less burdensome. Samsung, where Won Tae-in cannot play in the first and second games, is obviously an away game in Incheon.
It's a huge success with just one win and one loss. If you go to Daegu, Won Tae-in will appear even later. There is no reason for batters to be nervous. You only have to play your part in every at-bat in line with the flow of the game.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man also mentioned the possibility of a shift in collective psychology if the trend will become brighter and better because he won against the lineup, which had been silent after passing the wild card game. He then did not hide his expectations for a rebound, saying, `A team that can win only when the hit is supported by taking a day off and maintaining well.'

It is unclear whether the batting feeling of the main hitters, who took a long break, will immediately revive. The last game of the season for the main hitters, who adjusted their condition during rest after confirming the third place, was against Hanwha in Incheon on the 1st. Most of the players will play in eight days.
For Choi Won-tae, a surprise starter in Game 1, it is a great opportunity to liquidate the disgrace of autumn baseball.
'Even if I lose, I won't regret it and I'll throw it downIf you only trust and throw your ball with a mindset of ', unexpected results can come out. It is true that Park said, `Enough ball power to pressure the opponent.' The only thing that matters is a firm belief in his strong ball.
We need to trust Samsung's fielders, who are famous for their net defense, and stand on the mound with a strong heart. If you just hold the early lead for more than three innings, you will be able to play a game.

This is because the batters' minds have changed.
Samsung's batters have firepower that is hard to extinguish once it starts to catch fire. When Samsung's proud home run gun starts to operate in earnest, it can't be controlled. The opposing ace pitcher is also 100 times more burdensome. Diaz, the home run king, is good at hitting the ball with a single punch. The playoff and Korean Series performances, which were played with the same mind as challengers last year, raise expectations.
The semi-playoffs will be held in batter-friendly Incheon and Daegu.
