“I think this is the strength of our team.”
San Diego Padres shortstop Kim Ha-sung spoke about his team’s persistence.
San Diego lost 6-8 away to the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland on the 29th (Korea Standard Time).
He allowed six runs in the third inning alone, dragging his opponent to 0-6 afterwards. When he allowed another run in the bottom of the eighth inning, he scored again in the top of the ninth inning, bothering his opponent until the end.
“This is the strength of our team,” said Kim Ha-sung, who met after the game. “Our team is not easily losing and continues to chase until the end. I think these things are good to put pressure on the opponent,” he continued.
Kim Ha-sung, who started as the eighth shortstop, made significant contributions in the pursuit process. He had an RBI double in the fifth inning and an infield hit in the ninth inning, contributing to a run scored.
“Rather than playing a role, I was just lucky,” he said of his game.
Luck alone cannot bring about the final at-bat. He garnered a hit at the end of a 10-pitch match against Yenier Cano, the opponent team’s must-winner, and made an infield hit by adding a miss by the opponent’s shortstop. It was a hit that resulted in runners on the first and second bases with no outs and runners on the second base.
“My opponent is a pitcher who throws a lot of sinkers, and I liked his speed and movement. I played with confidence,” he said of his at-bat.
It was a bit disappointing in the third inning. He came out as the leadoff hitter and stole second base after getting on a walk, but was out after trying to steal third base.
“I’m given green light, so I try to go as far as I can when I can, but this time was a bit of a waste,” he said of the situation at the time.
“I thought I could survive just when I ran. I made the best start. But the opponent catcher did a great job. I liked the pop time and threw to automatically tag the ball,” he said, adding, complimenting the opponent catcher.
There was a left-handed batter at the batter’s box, so the catcher’s field of view was open, and it was a high-ranking lineup, so if you put up with it a little bit, you could have a different result.
Regarding this point, he replied, “I would have thought about it in the second half, but I think it wasn’t bad to go because it was early in the game and I had a good chance. In the end, it’s a result theory, so I don’t care.”
With this game, San Diego finished its nine consecutive away games leading to Cleveland, Washington, DC, Baltimore with a good record of 7 wins and 2 losses.
Coach Mike Shildt said, “We love the hunger of our players. We never give up no matter what the situation is. It was the last day of our long road trip and we could have given up after losing a lot of points, but no one did that. The more we show our performance, the more we want.”토토사이트 모음
“We won the series. Amazing,” Luis Arraez said of his thoughts on the upcoming away game. “We scared a good pitcher, a good team. We are very happy for this team. We are a really good team. We fought hard and never gave up until the end. We will continue to play hard, no matter what happens.”
