Failure to steal bases, even a few runners will win, Immunized LG

It was the top of the fifth inning when the score was 1-1. The away team took the opportunity to get one out and runners on first and second base. At-bat, he is Hong Chang-ki, who has the highest batting average (0.327) in-team. Count 3-2. Signs come from the bench. bench. It's a run and hit. But it's the worst result. The bat turned in vain with a 146km fastball. It's a strikeout. The fate of the runner who started in time is obvious. Park Dong-won is out in front of third base. It's the end of the inning. He failed to steal on record. (16th, Daegu, LG-Samsung)

There's one more time. It's the top of the eighth inning. Kim Hyun-soo's homer (No. 5) led the game 6-2. Austin Dean's hit then breaks out. Choi Seung-min will be the runner-up. Second pitch. The runner started. However, the opponent was also preparing. The delivery of the catcher (Kang Min-ho) is stable. Tag out again.

The Twins lost two runners on the day. It's because he failed to steal. In particular, the fifth inning was a crisis. This is where Park Dong-won was caught at third base. The flow was cut off by Andrew's failure. Normally, it's fatal.

But not for them. I don't feel much of a blow. It is evident in the actual game. It doesn't take long either. It's the next inning. In the top of the sixth inning, the game will be decided by a grand slam. It's a shot of tuna that was caught in the net at third base.

The first and second places are seven games apart. The overwhelming run follows. There is no stopping for the time being. The runner-up is rather worried about his back. I'm afraid of chasing third and fourth place. Everyone seems to be preoccupied with the mid-range fight. It's a peaceful, relaxed August for No. 1.

The same is true internally. There are some concerns. First of all, I feel sorry for the starting lineup. It seems that outside recruitment is not enough. Casey Kelly's recovery is also uncertain. A powerful one-two punch is a long way off. The absence of the bullpen is also worrisome. Jung Woo-young and Park Myung-geun are not 100%. The injury of core power and the deterioration of physical strength are also worrisome.

But I'm full. At least that's what other teams see. That's how incomparable the power is. Most obstacles are easily overcome. I'm just going to step on it and break it.

The stealer and base runner problems are similar. It is an issue that has been talked about since the beginning of the season. But there's nothing to worry about now. Still, countless runners are shot. However, there is no particular sense of hitting. I wake up with a bang. And send the runner out again. There is no big obstacle to the outcome anyway. It's a question of "easy or hard to win." There is only a score difference.

The last game is against Doosan on July 28. Since then, in 14 games, there have been stolen bases or base runners every time. Most of them are things that stop the game. However, it was 11 wins and 3 losses during this period. The winning rate is 0.786. It is much higher than the entire season (0.633). Among them, more than two guest houses have been recorded six times. It's five wins and one loss here, too. The winning rate is 0.833 in terms of winning rate. 스포츠토토

There was once magnetism. It was what coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the second half. "I don't reproach you for stealing. But there are times when you shouldn't run. I'll leave the green light as it is, but I'll also give a stop sign (not to run)."

But it hasn't changed much. The Twins still run a lot. He is unrivaled in both steal attempts and success. On the other hand, negative figures are also sweeping the top spot. This includes failed stolen bases (69 times), base runners (55 times), and checkers (11 times). The success rate of stolen bases (63.3%) also did not improve much. It is far below the league average (72.1). According to Statistics, the base running score contribution (RAA) compared to the average is also -6.90, the lowest among 10 clubs.

But it's not that important. You just have to win. Isn't it first place. There's nothing more to argue about.

However, there is one thing. It's a nasty part. It's just the day before yesterday. The game is against Samsung on the 15th. It was the eighth inning, trailing 3-4. It's a one-out, first and second base chance. Subsequent Shin Min-jae hit a right-handed hit. Second baseman Park Hae-min ran around third base to home. But he was caught shooting right field. The chance to tie was canceled.

This baserunning is pointed out in several ways. ① Right fielder (Lee Sung-kyu) advanced quite a bit and caught the ball. ② At that point, Park Hae-min could not even step on third base. ③ Nevertheless, he forced himself to turn it around. ④ Therefore, he was caught by a wide margin at home. He was out two or three steps ahead. In the end, the game was lost by one point, 5-6.

There are two more similar cases in August alone. It took place four and five days in a row. While the second baseman was in check, third baseman Jung Joo-hyun's double steal failed. The next day, first baseman Oh Ji-hwan was caught at home during a follow-up double.

The three cases have something in common. Coincidentally, it was all Daegu. It's against the Lions. The out count went up at home. And the Twins lost the game.

It's voices of concern every time. I like them all, but what if they do that in a really important game. Their goal can't be number one in the regular season. Only when you pass the last short-term match will your wish come true. So, will this kind of bold and aggressive play work even then. It is a concern that if it fails, it will be recovered as it is now.

Steal failure, base runner, checker.... It's no big deal when it's good. It's a very small matter now. But it can be different later on.
