KIA Players Committed to Work on Time Despite Proposals for Autonomous Training

KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho (42) said in a voice wet with emotion as he watched the players preparing for the game at 2 p.m. at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 1st.

KIA had a bloody battle of 4 hours and 18 minutes and won the match 15-13 at the same place on the previous day. The game ended at 10:18 p.m.

Coach Lee recommended a "rest" to the team after the game, saying, "On the 1st (when the game starts at 2 p.m.), let's slowly go out to the stadium and warm up."

The leading KIA becomes stronger when it meets the second-place team.

Fans of the losing team call it the 'Tiger Tail Cursing Curse'.

This season, KIA often met the second-place team at the time when the "crisis theory" raised its head, and each time, it overpowered the second-place team.

KIA shook off its pursuit by winning two games and losing in three consecutive home games against NC from April 19 to 21, when it was trailing the second-place NC Dinos by two games.

It also won both the second-place NC and away games on May 17 and 18, pushing NC to third place.

From May 24 to 26, he won the first place with two wins and one loss in three consecutive home games with the second-place Doosan Bears, who were ahead in the winning rate without a ride.

On June 18 and 20, they won the second-place LG and Gwangju home games 11-4 and 6-5 to push LG to third place. 메이저사이트

On July 9, he swept the victory by defeating LG, which rose back to second place, 11-4 at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.

Samsung also faced KIA in second place on July 17 and 18 and lost all of them.

KIA defeated LG in away game at Jamsil on Aug. 16-18. LG was still in third place due to the shock it suffered at the time.

Samsung, currently in second place, also lost to KIA on Aug. 31, widening the gap between the two teams to 5.5 games.

KIA's winning rate against the second-ranked team this season is 14 wins and 2 losses and 0.875.

If the results of the game are added after the opponent team falls to third place among the three consecutive games, it is 18 wins, 3 losses, and a 0.857 winning rate.

"I'm not conscious of such a record. It's a coincidence," coach Lee Bum-ho said, but accepted the result in a good mood, saying, "We're not conscious, but the other team can feel pressure."

He then praised the players once again.

"Our players display great concentration in every important game. Therefore, it comes with luck," Lee said. "I believe our players will stay like this until the end because they know the importance of finishing the regular season and postseason well."

On this day, KIA's substitute foreign pitcher Eric Stout will make his KBO League debut.

Coach Lee said, "Stout has taken the mound steadily in Taiwan, and he has thrown more than 100 balls in one bullpen pitcher after coming to Korea," adding, "He will be able to throw about 100 balls today."
