Even if they finished last, 18,151 spectators came, but the players could not show a twist.
The Samsung Lions knelt 4-10 in a match against the Hanwha Eagles in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 1st.
Samsung, which has been on a four-game losing streak, has fallen behind with a record of 27 wins and 45 losses (a win rate of .375), and is showing no signs of rising from the bottom.
The downfall of Samsung, which once established a ‘dynasty’, is truly shocking. Samsung has never finished a season in last place as a member of the KBO league since 1982. But this year, it’s unusual.
Just look at the match today. David Buchanan, who is in his 4th year in the KBO League this year, came out as a starting pitcher, but Buchanan became a losing pitcher as he was shaken with 7 hits and 5 runs (4 earned) in 5 innings, including a home run from Noh Si-hwan, and the fielders made 3 errors and the batting line Also, at the end of the 1st inning, Kang Min-ho’s heavy hit hit 1 point, but he did not show any significant movement.
Head coach Park Jin-man declared an operation similar to an all-out war ahead of the All-Star break. “Now, there are not many games in the first half and there are changes in the weather, so I think we will have to operate like a short game,” said coach Jin-Man Park. However, if it collapses from the beginning, you can’t do it even if you want to do an all-out war. That’s what Samsung did that day.
Samsung is still at the bottom,토토사이트 but the support of home fans is still hot. On this day, 18,151 spectators visited ‘Rapac’ alone. The capacity of ‘Rapac’ is 24,000 seats. There were so many spectators that it was almost impossible to see an empty seat. Of course, there were many Hanwha fans who visited the away cheering seats to see Hanwha’s 8-game winning streak, but the proportion of Samsung fans, the home team, was higher. They cheered for Samsung’s good performance, but couldn’t help but sigh as they watched the disastrous performance of the team losing 1-10 until the 8th inning. It was a time of small consolation to the fans who remained in the stadium until the end of the 9th inning when they scored 3 points with concentration.
Head coach Park Jin-man said, “All the players are preparing well to make a twist. I think I need to prepare a little more thoroughly, too”, but it is not easy in reality. Of course, Samsung still has plenty of time to rebound. Now, he has only played 72 games, half of the regular season. Even if he stays at the bottom, it is difficult for the lethargic game to continue even for the fans who are constantly looking for ‘Rapac’.
