Who said we would lose 100 games.
The era of "Chaos" from Kiwoom Heroes is about to arrive. If you wanted to meet Kiwoom so much until now, you may have to avoid it because you are afraid of "Chili powder" from Kiwoom.
Kiwoom won again. That is against the leading LG Twins. Kiwoom won the game 4 to 1 against LG at Gocheok Sky Dome on Sunday. The newly joined starter Alcantara took charge of eight perfect innings, and the lineup scored when needed, although not a lot of points.
LG Twins is the favorite and the No. 1 team, and has secured two consecutive wins against LG to clinch the "Winning Series." On top of that, LG Twins first started the day. Prior to the match, LG had an impressive record of eight wins and one loss. It was a game of five consecutive wins in total. If the team had won, it would have tied with Ponce (Hanwha) for the first place with multiple wins. Kiwoom lost for the second time this season. Until then, only the KIA Tigers had done so.
It is the fourth consecutive win. It is also the third consecutive wining series. When limited to the last seven games, the team has six wins and one loss. No team has done better than Kiwoom in the same period.
Of course, he is still at the bottom. He has only won 20 games. It is 18.5 games behind the first-runner LG, and 14.5 games behind the fifth-ranked Samsung Lions, which is the last line to advance to the postseason. It is a case where the gap has widened too much from the beginning, to say that there is a long way to go.
However, it is a drama that has many meanings. First of all, it seems to be getting out of the "100 losses" crisis that many people were worried about. Not a single team lost 100 games in the previous KBO league. In fact, the team was on pace to easily exceed 100 losses before the rebound. If it is the lowest again this year, it will be the last place for three consecutive years. The title is also disgraceful, but if it becomes the first 100 losing teams, the club's grounds for existence would disappear.
It could also blow away the stigma that it is pouring cold water on the "all-time" box office line. Rumors have it that the league's balance will collapse as Kiwoom has become a "winner's vending machine." Even teams that were a little bit off wanted to meet Kiwoom, and Kiwoom revived them all. All the opposing teams failed even with two wins and one loss, and they had to sweep all three games in order to realize that it would be their victory. The more they did, the more the Kiwoom players had to shrink.
But now, you can hurt your nose if you look at Kiwoom as a pushover. Rather, meeting Kiwoom with this momentum has become burdensome. It is a worst-case scenario if you dedicate the Winning series to No. 10 Kiwoom, and if you get a sweep loss. Next week's bomb will fall to the NC Dinos and Doosan Bears, who are busy with their way to go. For Kiwoom, since they are ranked eighth and ninth, it is a match that can give them confidence to 'let's go with this momentum.' 스포츠토토
For now, the club has admitted the failure of two foreign batters, and it seems that Alcantara, a high-quality starter, has joined the team. Alcantara threw only two games, but if the belief is instilled in the players that "if this player comes out, they can win," they do not easily suffer consecutive losses. Other starters, including Ha Young-min, who used to be good, also throw a burden. At this timing, even top rookie Jung Hyun-woo comes, and players' morale can be high.
The fact that Cardinez, who was the same headache with Puig who was kicked out, left for a long time due to an elbow injury could be a good thing for Kiwoom. He cuts off all the timing whenever he has a chance, but as Cardinez, who could not take it out, disappears, the unexpected effect of the rest of the Korean players coming together has occurred. Lim Ji-yeol, who was in charge of LG Electronics' No. 4 match, hit a timely hit in the second half of the game to seal the victory. This is the team's mood.
