The KIA Tigers eventually fell to the bottom. Until the 11th, they were ranked 9th. Kiwoom Heroes was the bottom. Kiwoom beat Hanwha Eagles 6-2 and became 7 wins and 11 losses. KIA's game with SSG Landers was canceled due to rain. Kiwoom tied for 7th place with Hanwha Doosan before the winning rate, and KIA became the sole bottom. 온라인바카라

It was the first humiliation that Lee experienced since the 2024 managerial race. Ahead of the opening of the season, Lee was considered the "strongest," and coaches and players targeted their second consecutive win, but the reality was that they were the lowest. It is not common for the defending champion to drop to the bottom. As the season is still early, there is room for rebound, but the entire team needs to pay attention. 

The biggest reason is the decline in scoring ability. Kim Do-young was sidelined due to injury in the opening game, but displayed good scoring ability in the early stages. She scored nine points in the opening game, and 11 points and 10 points in three consecutive games during the week against Kiwoom, her next card. However, she only scored 40 points in the remaining 13 games. She has three points per game. As she played in the games, Kim's vacancy grew, and even Kim Seon-bin, who posted a batting average of around .400, was sidelined due to calf injury, which played a decisive role. 

The lineup is not connected at all. It is a common saying that cohesion has disappeared. The batters with Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin and the batters without Kim Do-young are far from the top. Kim created chances at No. 2 or No. 3 or scored with long balls. Kim Sun-bin is positioned at No. 6 and has the ability to solve opportunities created by center hitters and connect them to lower hitters. Since there are no two, the scoring equation is disappearing. 

Existing batters are also not using their strength. Leadoff teams have not been able to create chances properly. Park Chan-ho has returned from injury, but he has only 17.3 percent, and second batters also have a low on-base percentage. Choi Hyung-woo has two home runs and seven RBIs, Na Sung-bum has two home runs and two home runs and 12 RBIs, and Wisdom has two home runs and three home runs and 10 RBIs. The central batting line has not shown explosive cohesion. The same is true of the lower batting line. Lee Woo-sung is only 250, Kim Tae-gun is 20%, and Choi Won-jun is 290. Last year, Han Jun-su, a .300 hitter, hit only a .100 batting average and went down to the second division.

Last year's lineup recorded a team batting average of 301 percent, which was one of the biggest contributors to the team's victory. This year, the team was expected to be hit at the top of the league, if not as much as last year, but it is showing almost the lowest batting index. The team's batting average is only 237 percent. Even mobility seems to be lost. Coach Lee Bum-ho is making changes in the batting order of every game, but his no-holds-barred medicine is invalid. He won the title while riding a roll last year, but this is the first time he has faced such a crisis. Players also seem to be embarrassed. In this situation, the coach needs leadership to overcome the crisis.   

Lee has been reducing the vacancy of Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin. "There are some areas (due to Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin's injuries) where they fail to display their full capacity 100 percent. The great power that they have when they gather together plays a role. Personally, I have the mindset that I need to do better because I am not good enough. The overall hitting is not compatible, and the struggle continues. Baseball needs to be in the mood (with strong hitting). That way, they can display their skills," he said.  

There is something that cannot be solved just because there are no two players. Fans are pointing out that they are lethargic. More than ever, the players' gritty play is needed. That's how the atmosphere can be reversed. Coach Lee said, "The players seem to be trying to do well, but I think active play is necessary. You have to go out and play what you have to do. I feel like I'm losing because there are insufficient parts. I asked them to do it actively."

However, the fact that the mound operates normally is a rebound factor. Yoon Young-chul is sluggish in the starting lineup, but James Nail and Adam Oler, Yang Hyun-jong and Kim Do-hyun are performing well in the rotation. In the bullpen session, Cho Sang-woo, Choi Ji-min, and closing pitcher Jung Hae-young are recovering from their initial slump. Obviously, the team is not a team that will simply collapse. If the team emerges from a collective slump, the team can rebound. It is still in the early stages of the season.
