Chae Eun-sung said "I think it's the first time this season that the coach came to the mound. He came to cut off the mood. The director simply told me to compete because it was okay."

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `Even if we lose the regular season, we will make up for it next time. If you lose autumn baseball, you don't have the next chance. Kim Bum-soo did a big job. It wasn't an easy situation", he explained.

Kim Seo-hyun has no choice but to think about how to use it.

Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `It is important to save Kim Seo-hyun's confidence. The team has to win, too. I will talk to the coaching staff and find a way to save it.
