SSG Landers Field in Incheon, South Korea, hosts the Hanwha Eagles and SSG Landers on April 28th. In his pregame press briefing, SSG manager Lee Sung-yong mentioned that his team gave up one base to Hanwha in the 26-27 game.
“I told coach Suzuki (Battery), who is a serious coach, to catch some stolen bases,” Lee said. “If you look at the way we gave up runs (in the two games against Hanwha), Ji-young also had a situation like that, and yesterday, Hyung-woo also gave up a stolen base, but it’s okay if we only give up two bases, but it’s a little harder to solve the game when we give up three bases at once. We need to be a little more solid in that area, but we gave up one base easily. We need to be a little bit more solid,” he said.
Hanhwa run came with a stolen base
But a throwing error allowed runners to steal second and third at once, giving up easy runs. In the 27th game, 바카라사이트 SSG Battery allowed Peraza to steal second and advance to third on a bad throw by catcher Cho Hyung-woo in the first inning, and then easily took the lead on a wild pitch.
Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho responded to the opposing manager’s comments by saying, “We are paying more attention to stolen bases than last year.” Hanwha stole 67 bases as a team last year, second only to Kiwoom (54). It wasn’t just the stolen bases, but also the base running.
“Compared to LG, Kia, Samsung, and others, we don’t have a lot of stolen bases in our lineup. Our pitching is a little bit slower, and we try to run a little bit in situations where we can run,” Choi said.
“We’re trying to get some runs when we can, whether it’s Peraza or Ha Joo-seok getting thrown out at the plate yesterday, but there was some talk last year that we didn’t steal a lot of bases and pitchers were saying, ‘We’re a little more comfortable throwing strikes.’
But you can’t just start a player who is good at hitting while excluding hitting
So when we have the opportunity, if there is a problem with a pitcher or a catcher, or if there are some habits that need to be changed, or if there are players who can steal a few bases, we are trying to be a little bolder than last year.”
So far, Hanhwa’s running baseball hasn’t been a standout. 안전놀이터 Hanwha is ninth with two stolen bases. They have the fewest after Kiwoom (one). They also have two failed stolen bases. For a team that has declared its rebuilding days over, the details are changing.
