Maybe it’s because the memory of the debut was too strong, except for the ‘home run to end the opening match’, there is no scene that comes to mind. The team and fans feel the same way. The silence of Jose Rojas (Doosan Bears) is getting longer.
Starting with the first game in July, Doosan won 11 consecutive wins, surpassing 10 consecutive wins in 2000 and 2018, and breaking a new record for the most consecutive wins in club history. The ranking of Doosan, which was also at risk for mid-level shooters, rose to third place. At one time, the pace was so tough that even leading teams were threatened.
Although the performance of various players shone, it was Lojas’ performance that stood out the most. During the 11-game winning streak, Rojas recorded 11 hits in 33 at-bats, a batting average of 0.333, 1 home run, 8 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.067, seemingly washing away the sluggishness of the past three months. His batting average also rose to 0.228 in the season when he went back and forth between the 1st and 2nd generation.
However, the team’s 11-game winning streak came to an end in the match against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 26th when Lohas went silent without a hit, and Doosan lost 1-9 the next day. On this day, Rojas resigned without hitting a single hit in three at-bats. As a result, it was not a complete rebound.
In the 3 consecutive weekend games against the LG Twins, the presence itself was not revealed. On the 28th, the first day of the series, Lohas, who played his first at-bat, was replaced by outfielder Hong Seong-ho ahead of his second at-bat due to back pain. Rojas, who visited the hospital the next day, was diagnosed with simple muscle pain and swept his chest, but could not play in both the 29th and 30th games even as a substitute. In the meantime, the team lost all the games on the 28th and 30th, and fell into the pit of the first 5 consecutive losses of the season with a series sweep loss.
Is it a physical condition that can come out? Prior to the game on the 30th, Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen his face.” told
The problem is that the cycle has come down compared to the beginning of July. It is difficult to guarantee that even if you improve your physical condition, you will be on the right track. In the end, it is the responsibility of key hitters such as Yang Eui-ji and Yang Seok-hwan to fill that void, but they cannot do well throughout the season.메이저사이트
Moreover, while Rojas did not perform so well in the 3 consecutive matches with LG, LG’s foreign batter Austin Dean recorded 4 hits in 13 at-bats (1 home run), 3 RBIs and 1 walk, and in the game on the 28th, the preemptive two-run four to take the lead at the beginning of the game shot up The joys and sorrows of the two teams were mixed as to whether the foreign hitter was active.
In order to escape from the crisis of “the first 5 consecutive losses of the season,” someone has to act as a solver, and the best scenario is for Lohas to relieve the burden on the remaining batters.
Doosan used up one foreign player replacement card by bringing in Brandon Waddell instead of Dylan Pyle, but did not replace the foreign batter. Even with one card left, I kept my faith. It gave me enough time to rest. In August, it is Lohas who has to respond to the team’s choice while showing a different appearance.
