It could have been the best wedding anniversary...I wanted to end it somehow by refusing to take a fierce steel plate to the bench

Ryan Weiss (29, Hanwha Eagles) started Game 4 of the postseason Korean Series against the LG Twins at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th and allowed four hits, three walks, seven strikeouts and one run in seven ⅔ innings.
This season, Weiss played with Cody Ponce as a certain 'one-two punch'. Weiss went 16-5 with a 2.87 ERA in 30 games this season.
I raised my body enough in the playoffs. Starting in the second playoff game against Samsung, he was shaken by four innings of nine hits, two walks, four strikeouts and five runs. However, it was different from his second appearance. In Game 5, he took the mound for the second time after Ponce, and pitched four hits, four strikeouts, and one run in four innings to save.
In the Korean Series, Weiss was even more brilliant. Weiss, who made a three-out inning against Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae and Kim Hyun-soo in the top of the first inning, did not lose a run until the seventh inning. There was a crisis in the fifth and seventh innings, but he perfectly defended the mound by drawing a double play.
He threw a total of 106 pitches until the seventh inning, but he also pitched in the eighth inning. Both Park Hae-min and Hong Chang-ki struck out with changeups, continuing their power struggles.
After holding two outs, Weiss benched his intention to throw more. However, Shin Min-jae hit a double and left the mound without finishing the inning. Weiss had one run as Kim Bum-soo, who followed, hit a timely hit by Kim Hyun-soo.

Weiss continued "I'm not satisfied. "Whether I throw well or not, I'm satisfied only when the team wins, so I'm not satisfied because I lost yesterday."
As for the moment when he said he would throw more in the seventh inning, "I have a strong desire to win. Personally, as it is a Korean series, I wanted to take the innings as much as possible. The goal was to throw as long as possible."
In addition, regarding the sign sent to the bench with two outs in the seventh inning, "I was in a situation where I caught two out counts, and I wanted to face the next batter. So I beckoned to take responsibility. I wanted to finish the 8th episode somehow" he said.
As for whether he will take the mound in Games 6 to 7, "I don't want to think about Games 6 to 7. Game 5 is very important. It's a situation where we have to win somehow. After winning, I will think about Game 6-7," he said, looking forward to his teammate's performance.
The 30th was Weiss' wedding anniversary. It was the best pitching, but I had to finish the day with regret without catching a victory. Weiss says "Family means a lot. Whether you go down in the first inning or throw up to the ninth inning, you always respect and support them. be a great help" was the most special day. If I had won, I would have enjoyed my wedding anniversary more. I'm sorry about that"Leaving baseball, my wife loves me the most. He was very helpful and said, "I love you."
