Kang Min-ho satisfies his "오빠부대." Bonus points for the white dude in the Dodgers hat trying to get his attention.
Meh.
Double Meh.
I really didn't want to post about these, but there was nothing else going on in Korean baseball this week. I decided it would be better to post.
I'm guessing jet lag played a part in Korea's first loss. That and rust. Son Min-han threw for the first time in weeks and he got absolutely lit. It also sounds like Kim Kwang-hyeon ran out of gas in the 3rd inning(?!?). That sounds like it warrants concern with the season a few weeks away. I'm guessing his pitch count was up around 60 or 70. The MLB website didn't feel like divulging that information and I am far too lazy to count.
Today's game was a lot better than yesterday's. The Korean team actually held a 2-1 lead after 6 innings! But, the Korean bullpen surrendered the tying run in the 7th on an RBI double from Blake DeWitt. Them in the 8th inning, Dodgers 2nd baseman, Chin-lung Hu drove in the go ahead runs on an RBI single.
Jeong Won-sam started for Team Korea. He tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings. He allowed only 2 hits and struck out 1.
Next for Team Korea is Karim Garcia's Team Mexico on Sunday at 11 PM ET. I believe that works out to 1 PM Monday afternoon in Korea, but I may be mistaken.
