Should I like it because I won.
It was Ryu Ji-hyun's debut as a coach of the Korean national baseball team. It was a victory. However, it was a game that should not be satisfied.
South Korea won the first round of the warm-up match against the Czech Republic 3-0 at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 8th. As soon as the game began, he kept his score well drawn for the first and second consecutive times and sealed the victory by scoring a wedge in the eighth inning.
But even if I won, I think it's right to say it's a bitter game. In fact, the Czech Republic is in the same group as the first round of the World Baseball Classic (WBC), but it is a team that must win unconditionally with a wide difference in level. This is because most of the players have their original jobs, and baseball is a safe composition to say that it is a social team with a side job. The actual coach is a doctor, a firefighter, a self-employed person, and players from various occupational groups.

Of course, it is higher than the level of baseball in Korean society. Batters' swings are powerful, and pitchers also threw more than 140 kilometers of fastballs. However, despite the fact that there were many parts that fell on the Korean players in terms of overall basic skills and completeness, it was no different from a game with only three hits before scoring a wedge in the eighth inning.
It was a good start. No. 1 Kim Joo-won walked to get on base and advanced to second base when the opponent threw wildly. Ahn Hyun-min's team batting went to third base, and Song Sung-moon called Kim Joo-won for a hit. He was neat in the second inning as well. Leader Han Dong-hee's double, Park Hae-min's sacrifice bunt, and Choi Jae-hoon's sacrifice fly came out. Of course, he could have asked if he had to bunt against the Czech Republic, but Ryu would have wanted to see the players perform their operations.

The problem was after that. After Ahn Hyun-min's hit in the third inning, there was no hit from the fourth inning to the seventh inning. Rather, he couldn't get the timing right to the poor ball of Czech pitchers. Kim Young-woong's hit in the eighth inning broke the blocked blood, and Lee Jae-won's double scored the score on the opponent's error. In the meantime, it is regrettable that Lee Jae-won was out as a base runner.
Pitchers say they kept the Czech batters scoreless, but they didn't just like it. As mentioned above, it was a natural level difference to prevent scoreless. What worried me was that Cho Byung-hyun's pitch at the end of the ninth inning was falling off. It was really hard to stop an inning. Tossed 10 balls to Chervinka and 12 balls to Pospisil. I kept getting my hair cut. It seems that not only Cho Byung-hyun but also the players wearing uniforms will have to prepare for a situation where their condition is jagged after a difficult season. LG Twins and Hanwha Eagles players who played in the Korean Series are said to have been excluded, but they can be disgraced if they go to Japan with this performance.
