Last week, Lotte Giants' baseball team was stellar. Manager Kim Tae-hyung (58) showed why he is called the "winning contractor."먹튀검증
Coach Kim Tae-hyung turned on "maximum anger" mode in the bottom of the fifth inning of the match against the Samsung Lions at home (Sajik Stadium in Busan) on Wednesday. The coach even sparked bench clearing (battle between players of the two teams).
This is because a threatening ball was suspected. Samsung pitcher Yang Chang-seop's 146 km/h four-seam fastball flew towards the head of batter Yoon Dong-hee. He managed to avoid the ball, but not only the batter but also the baseball fans were surprised.
In this situation, manager Kim Tae-hyung stepped out of the dugout and approached the Samsung dugout across the ground. He pointed his finger and shouted. Lotte veteran Jung-hoon tried to stop it, but he shook it off and went straight. Eventually, the players from the two teams flocked to the ground. The situation was concluded only after Samsung coach Park Jin-man came out and explained the situation.
Lotte's Jang Doo-sung, who was the first batter in the bottom of the fifth inning, was hit in the head by a fastball thrown by pitcher Lee Seung-hyun. After Jeon Min-jae against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 30th and Lee Ho-joon and Son Seong-bin against the KT Wiz on the 11th, another player was hit in the head.
Samsung's changed pitcher Yang Chang-seop was hit by Jeon Min-jae in a three-run home run to left in the ensuing crisis. The next batter was Yoon Dong-hee.
Manager Kim Tae-hyung, who is nicknamed "Bear, Child and Female," is hardly seen acting emotionally. It can be said that he sent a message to the opposing team's dugout and the opposing pitcher at a time when many players are getting hit in the head. Not only to Samsung but also to the teams that will face off in the future.
Above all, considering Lotte's bad luck and the flow of the game, there is a reason why he should not stay still as a coach. In June last year, when he was sent off twice in a week while protesting the referee's decision, head coach Kim Tae-hyung stressed, "There are times when the coach has to step up."
Apart from the bench clearing situation on the day, manager Kim Tae-hyung has recently been wary of Lotte players' deterioration in concentration. After winning 4-0 against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 14th, he called a team meeting to deliver a related message. He reportedly pointed out that his performance in the second half of the game fell, including 10 base runs, although he won. In fact, Kim stressed that even if he is winning ahead of the match against KIA on the 15th, he should think about sticking more tenaciously to widen the score gap.
Manager Kim Tae-hyung was sent off in the bottom of the fourth inning of the second game of the doubleheader against Samsung on Thursday while protesting against the result of the video review. This scene also seemed to have an intention.
The initial foul was overturned as to whether batter Kim Min-sung swung or not, and Kim took to the ground and made a fierce protest, saying, "Didn't you get hit by the bat?" If you protest the result of the video review, you will be sent off.
In fact, it wasn't urgent enough to endure this. He had already won the first round of DH 7-5 and was leading the second round 5-2. There was clearly a part that was ambiguous to see as a misjudgment.
It seems to be in the same vein as his message of "Let's not let our guard down." Rather, his team showed fiercer reaction when the team was winning, displaying his determination to get on base and score one point for his team. He seems to have sent a message not only to the players but also to the coaches.
When Kim Tae-hyung protested, Lotte's home fans chanted his name. Lotte allowed a 7-7 tie in the ensuing match, but won the game by scoring in the bottom of the seventh inning to take the lead again and holding on to no additional runs. Lotte won 6-3 in Gyeonggi Province on the 18th, when the bench clearing took place.
