Yoon Seok-min gave Korea exactly what they needed after their embarrassing loss to Japan. Yoon worked 6 shutout innings allowing only 2 hits and striking out 4. Everything was a lazy fly ball.
Korea drew 7 walks and 3 Korean batters were hit by pitches. Choo Shin-soo was drilled for the 2nd consecutive game. He's got to be wondering what he did to deserve all this. First, a sore elbow, struggles at the plate and now constantly getting drilled. All he wanted to do was represent his country and earn some karma with the baseball gods. My how they've punished him.
Third baseman Lee Beom-ho and shortstop Park Ki-hyuk both drove in 3 runs last night. Lee drilled a 2-run homer in the 4th inning.
The Chinese team was fairly awful in all facets of the game. The couldn't pitch. They couldn't hit(2 hits!) and they had trouble in the field(2 errors).
Korea faces off against Japan again. I have no idea who's pitching. Ryu Hyeon-jin only tossed a few innings in his first appearance. He couldn't do any worse than Kim Kwang-hyeon....could he?

No kidding about Choo. My fiance is a pretty diehard Indians fan, and as such has been following his progress in the WBC rather closely. Dude just cannot catch a break. Other than that its good to see that Korea rebounded well after laying an egg against Japan.
