After Shock's 3 Innings 14 Runs I don't worry about Dougher

SSG Landers will play an away game against KT Wiz in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 12th.

The starting pitcher for the day was Robert Duggar. Duggar shed tears in the previous game. It was due to extreme difficulties.

In the game against the NC Dinos on Tuesday, Duggar gave up 12 hits, seven walks and 14 strikeouts (13 earned runs) in three innings. He allowed nine runs in the first inning, three runs in the second inning, and two runs in the third inning in succession. He disgracefully tied the record for the most runs scored in a single game in the KBO League. While maintaining 5.73 in the previous two games, his ERA soared to 12.86.

The day has come again on Wednesday. "I'm not worried. I have to trust my players," SSG coach Lee Soong-yong said before the game.

"I have faith that I will throw well, hoping that I will throw well rather than worrying. Worrying doesn't solve anything," Lee said. "A player must have prepared well during the rest day. He will do well."

Have you given any feedback to Duggar since the game against NC Dinosaurs on Wednesday? "I would have kept talking about it in the pitching and power analysis section. I don't say anything else," Lee said. "When the coach tells me to do this or that, I think that the player has to do that. I have to leave it to each part. Rather than making big changes, I want to make small changes and make it easier to throw."

At the match against NC Dinosaurs, Duggar was in shock enough to tear up in the dugout after he left the mound. "I need to develop my own venom. Of course. That's what a professional player is," Lee said. "Of course, the process is important, but what's more important to a professional is the result. Don't all players work hard? That's the basics, and we have to produce results."

"Honestly, I know all the players' preparations and the process, so it's quite regrettable when the performance doesn't come out. A coach is a human being, so I have a hard time feeling," he said. "However, I am in a position to become stronger. As the head of the team, I have to make a judgment. That's the part that's difficult, but for the team, I need to be able to replace players with fast tempo. I have no change in my mind."

The best scenario is for Duggar to perform a good pitching to make up for his disappointment. Coach Lee also repeated, "I hope the results come out well."

On this day, the starting lineup was formed with Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Choo Shin-soo (designated hitter), Choi Jeong (third baseman), Guillermo Heredia (left fielder), Han Yu-seom (right fielder), Oh Tae-gon (first baseman), Park Sung-han (striker), Lee Ji-young (pitch), and Ahn Sang-hyun (second baseman).

Park's batting order, which had kept the second batting order, went down to No. 7. "I looked at the data and (Park) Sung-han didn't get the right timing for the opponent team's starting pitcher Benjamin (Wes Benjamin). I adjusted it to No. 7 because I thought it would be burdensome for Sung-han as well," Lee said. "(Chu) Shin-soo has a good timing. I put him at No. 2 because I thought he had to keep going (to the plate)."

Choo, who had been out of the lineup due to a finger injury, made his comeback against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 11th. He had no hit and one stolen base in three times at bat. "I was constantly building up my body except for my fingers. I think it will be better as soon as I get my batting sense back," Lee said.
