Short-term pitcher replacement timing. It's the most difficult choice.

Decisions are difficult before results are released, and evaluations are easy after results are released.

There are too many hidden variables, such as the player's condition on the day that only the bench can know, but there are also too many "consequence theories" outside the dugout.




Samsung lost 8-9 in the first playoff game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 18th. He succeeded in scoring six runs (five earned) with seven hits in six innings against Hanwha ace Ponce, but the mound did not hold out. In the top of the ninth inning, when the team was losing 6-9, Hanwha closer Kim Seo-hyun was replaced by three hits, two runs, and 8-9 in ⅓ innings, but he suffered a disappointing one-run loss as the final equalizer did not explode.

Samsung's batters seemed to take the lead by scoring three points against Ponce in the top of the second inning. However, in the bottom of the second inning, Hanwha's batters extended the inning taking advantage of Samsung starter Garabito's misjudgment, and scored five points amid a wave of attacks to immediately turn the tables.

However, Samsung tied the game at 5-5 in the third inning with Koo Ja-wook's sacrifice fly and Kim Young-woong's timely hit, and Kim Tae-hoon made a come-from-behind solo shot over the Monster Wall against Ponce in the fourth inning.




The lead brought back against Ponce. I had to protect it unconditionally. The Samsung bench moved quickly.

After one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, Hanwha Liberato walked to the base, and he lowered Garabito, who allowed five runs in three ⅓ at-bats, and put left-hander Lee Seung-min in. The main character of the come-from-behind double that directly hits Monster Wall against Garabito with two outs in the second inning. Early replacement of the starter was a natural game changer.

Lee Seung-min induced Moon Hyun-bin to hit a ground ball to shortstop, but Lee Jae-hyun, a shortstop who moved to second base to catch a running runner on the first base, was lucky to pass the ball to the first base with one out and runners on the first and third bases.




In No. 4 at-bat, Samsung Bench took out Yang Chang-seop's card. Hidden card that the starting pitcher saved to put in if he left early. Yang Chang-seop, who was slightly nervous about his first appearance in autumn baseball, allowed a strong hit in the ball count against Noh Si-hwan, but ended the inning with a double play by third baseman Kim Young-woong. In the fifth inning, Yang Chang-seop received a leadoff hit by Chae Eun-sung, but all three subsequent batters were induced to ground out and continued to score no runs.

Yang Chang-seop, who finished one ⅔ inning in 13 pitches, had enough physical strength. He came up to prevent another inning in the bottom of the sixth inning.

However, Shim Woo-joon allowed another leadoff hitter to get on base with a double passing by the first baseman. a desperate crisis with no outs and second base prone to a tie.

The lead, which was caught in a reversal, had to be prevented by any means from allowing the tie to be tied. When Son Ah-seop became 1B2S due to a bunt failure, the bench showed a winning move. It was the input of left-hander Bae Chan-seung, who had a strong ball power to strike out.

But the result is a failure. Bae Chan-seung's ball power was different from that of the fourth round of the semi-playoff. The fastball speed, which had been taken until the middle of 150km, fell by 2-3km. The breaking ball attraction was also not effective. In the end, Bae Chan-seung gave up the second and third bases with no outs with a timely double to Son Ah-seop and consecutive hits to Liberato, and the Samsung bench rushed bullpen ace Lee Ho-sung. Lee Ho-sung raised expectations by striking out Moon Hyun-bin and Noh Si-hwan, who are in their best condition. However, he threw a breaking ball to Chae Eun-sung and allowed a timely two-run hit. Unfortunately, the choice and result that was inevitable. In the end, Samsung lost 8-9 without being able to turn the tide any further.

There were completely different interpretations of whether the second pitcher Yang Chang-seop would be replaced.

The broadcast team took issue with Yang Chang-seop's late replacement, and some fans expressed regret over Yang's early replacement.

The broadcaster claimed that Yang should have changed from the start of the sixth inning. The loss was attributed to the deployment of young Bae Chan-seung and Lee Ho-sung in a burdensome crisis of second base with no outs that allowed Shim Woo-joon to double. On the other hand, some fans criticized Yang for changing him too early.

Of course, I wanted to drag Yang Chang-seop one more inning even on the bench, which does not have a thick waist to trust.

If Bae Chan-seung and Lee Ho-sung are used too early, there is no pitcher to take responsibility for closer Kim Jae-yoon. As long as the lead was lost, it was impossible to drag these two pitchers for a long time from the first game.

If Yang Chang-seop passed the sixth inning without a crisis, he could have played in the relay by posting Lee Ho-sung or Bae Chan-seung from the start of the seventh inning. However, when the maximum crisis with a high probability of allowing a tie hit second base with no outs, the bench was forced to put in two of the bullpen's best cards early.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man responded to the situation of Bae Chan-seung's input after the game, saying, `"He drove to two strikes due to bunt failure, and prepared for Bae Chan-seung to pressure the opponent and strike out with ball power. I put the runner in to increase the probability of striking out so that he wouldn't send it to third base, but that was a disappointing result." It doesn't mean you regret your choice, it means you're disappointed with the result.

The second lead against Ponce, the strongest pitcher in the league. Long relief Yang Chang-seop's sixth appearance was a natural step. In the midst of a tie crisis, a quick replacement was also a natural choice.
