Why did you throw Weiss and why did Ryu Hyun-jin push.

The reason why the sport of baseball is attractive is that each person can interpret it every moment. Of course, there is a reason for every choice in the field, but fans and others seem to be disappointed by 'why'.

The Hanwha Eagles are showing signs of losing in vain on the stage of the first Korean Series in 18 years. It was an away game, but they lost both the first and second games in Jamsil. Games 3, 4 and 5 will be held at home, and starting pitchers will also have Ponce and Weiss, but Hanwha is anxious as there are few cases of winning two consecutive games and overturning them in short-term games.




Looking back at the first and second games, he was so lethargic that he asked if he was a team that came to the Korean Series. In particular, Game 2 failed to keep a four-run lead with two home runs in the first inning.

In short-term games, the initial fight is important. It's over after being pushed back in the beginning. From Hanwha's point of view, they would have set a goal of achieving a goal of 1 win and 1 loss somehow in the situation where they had played until Game 5 of the playoffs.

Moon Dong-ju is a great pitcher. He was a pitcher with a high probability of giving the team a victory in the first game. But we really had to prepare for the worst. LG will defeat Moon Dong-ju in the first game and play the second game, which was a big burden for the team coming up from below.




In the end, it is regrettable that Hanwha has won two consecutive games. I had no choice but to push it to Moon Dong-ju first. With two foreign pitchers already running in the previous game, Hanwha had to win at least one game in Jamsil.

Ryu Hyun-jin couldn't have known this. Naturally, while losing the first game, he must have wanted to pay back home fans in Daejeon after performing well in the second game.

However, Ryu Hyun-jin has already exposed his physical limitations in the playoffs against Samsung. He threw perfectly until the third inning, but his ball power dropped sharply, giving up a home run to Kim Young-woong in the fourth inning. I had no choice but to feel the emptiness of time.




If you had a cool understanding of this, you should have considered the timing of Ryu Hyun-jin's replacement from when the batters scored four runs in the first inning. I already felt that I was physically unable to handle it. However, it was not easy to remove Ryu Hyun-jin as a major pitcher. Then all the plans for the second game were ruined.

In Game 5 of the playoffs, manager Kim vowed to end the game with two pitchers, Ponce and TWICE. However, if the score gap widened by more than 7-8 points, it was necessary to save the Weiss card. Then, instead of Ryu Hyun-jin, who has already shown limitations in starting a big game, he could have prepared for Game 2 with Weiss. Then, Ryu Hyun-jin might have been able to throw the ball properly in one of the third and fourth games, which is less burdensome.

However, Hanwha insisted on Weiss even with seven points in Game 5 against Samsung. Weiss threw when the score difference was small, and it was a matter of operating another bullpen after seven runs. Of course, the field thinks that the gap will be reduced by a sudden home run in the short term and that the game will be like. However, no matter how consequential baseball is, it is a choice that Hanwha will be disappointed to lose two games of the Korean Series by giving up such a big score.
