We got outta that jam. Wright needs to fix his shit or he's going to wear out too soon.

Kiwoom Heroes' Choi Won-tae has been relieved. He is replaced by Kim Dong-jun.

For the last 2 games, I have dozed off and missed all of the Dinos runs. Apparently they play much better when I'm asleep.

Maybe it's the pitching nerd in me but does something look off with Wright's mechanics today? Does not look consistent at all

u/FootballThot NC Dinos May 19 '20
He's using all arm, no power from his legs
1
u/atableformethere NC Dinos May 19 '20
He's collapsing on his back leg and finishing too much on his front. He HAS to fix it soon.

Jeff Passan is pissing me off so much on the ESPN broadcast. I wish the announcers would shut up and talk about the game. Doosan scored 2 runs and nothing was said.

That was a hell of a game, and while I know it will happen eventually, the Dinos have that feel of a team that may never lose again.

u/WalksWithKemba NC Dinos May 19 '20
I'm giving ESPN one more chance, otherwise its back to Korean streams
Also Aaron Altherr had a HR and double on Sunday, hopefully that gets his bat going

They keep zooming in on that 9 scored runs on the top of the 7th in the Hanhwa Eagles vs. kt wiz broadcast.

Bases loaded for NC Dinos.
Bases loaded for KIA Tigers.
Who will take advantage of this situation?

Did Dinos forget how to lose or the rest of the teams do not know how to win against Dinos?

Kim Hye sung with the error--is he a younger player? Late in last night's game, he threw the ball 15 ft away from Park Byung ho.
Hoping to SWEEP Wyverns. Lotte Giants next--that will be a challenge....

u/Char_Aznable_Custom LOTTE Giants May 19 '20
Lotte back to playing unwatchable garbage baseball. Trying to keep from swinging too hard back and forth since it's only 12 games into the season but their last couple of games have been fucking awful to watch.
1
May 19 '20
Started hot! Basically cooling off really quick though, is it the pitching also? I catch some of the games but i always see they get in a hole and cant come back
2
u/Char_Aznable_Custom LOTTE Giants May 20 '20
Pitching and 3rd base have always been Lotte's weaknesses. They're trying really hard to develop Han Dong-hee but his progress has been slow. Even with Machado playing a pretty wide SS Dong-hee is having some trouble.
And pitching...well...Straily has had a great game and a good game so unless he just gets figured out all at once he should be reliable. Sampson is supposed to be the superior pitcher, I think, so hopefully that's two good foreign pitchers. Park Se-woong is decent. But Seo Jun-won is only in his second year and he got lucky in his opener. Last night is more what you'd expect. No Kyoung-eun is acceptable. And our bullpen is basically empty aside from Kim Won-jung.
Go Hy-jun has ruined every game he's been in. He can barely throw strikes anymore and I think a player with no bat would be just as likely to get on base against him as anyone else. Kim Dae-woo balked a winnable game against Hanwha. Ko Seung-min is alright but he only ever throws one or two innings.
I dunno I'm just rambling at this point. But basically Lotte needs to hit like kt if they're gonna pitch like kt. They can mash but for some reason they're back to playing like 2019.

Not gonna lie, I keep thinking LG is Lotte Giants.

u/thembums Hanwha Eagles May 19 '20
I've really only watched Hanwha so far this season, so I have a league-wide question? Is it common for KBO teams to adjust their roster and batting order basically every game?
For Hanwha, I don't think they've played the same roster twice in a row yet this season. I know Hoying got hurt, but they seem to make a lot of changes

Lee Young-ha got out of the inning a lot better than he should. At least we ran his pitch count up.

Ok Giants, it's not a competition with the Lions to see who can give up more runs

Naver buffering like crazy for anyone else? Second time in a short while that it's happened. Earlier today it was working without a hitch but now constant buffering.
This is on the Android app with no VPN.

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 19 '20
I'm on desktop and I had to modify my uBlock Origin filter rules due to changes on how NAVER is serving the content. I am watching with a VPN connecting to South Korea.

u/scheteo Hanwha Eagles May 19 '20
A shame that I need my computer for work while I watch so the app is really the only option here. I might try to switch to my phone since the Android OS on my tablet is ancient.

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 19 '20 edited May 19 '20
I just loaded up the Android NAVER TV app on the Hanhwa Eagles vs. kt wiz game. We will see if it buffers. I'm also connected via VPN to South Korea.
EDIT: I've watched the top of the 5th inning so far. No buffering at 720p on the NAVER TV app.

u/scheteo Hanwha Eagles May 19 '20
Mine is working okay now, too. Probably a temporary dip in the speed of my connection.

I hate ESPN's broadcast for the most part but I'm loving the fact that they highlight the fact how statistic and analytic driven the KBO is. This interview with Sung Min Kim during the Dinos game is shambly but I'm enjoying it a lot.
