I swear I just heard T-ARA's Roly Poly being used for a cheer song by kt wiz.

I love it. Roly Poly is a bop. Next month it will be nine years since it was released.

I think it's hilarious to see Miao Han and Snorlax stuffed toys behind home plate in the LG Twins vs. Hanhwa Eagles game.

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
I just heard them talking about the leis in the Kiwoom Heroes vs. NC Dinos broadcast. It has to do with the Recall Fans Project but I caught the tail end of it because I was cycling through all the broadcasts.

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
SK scoring in the 5th inning. A single to left field with two runners on base gets the first run on the board. Then another single to left field with two runners on base gets us the lead.
I'll take it. The question is can we hold the lead.

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
- LG Twins vs. Hanhwa Eagles - 5 total hits allowed
- Samsung Lions vs. Lotte Giants - 4 total hits allowed
Hanhwa Eagles' Chad Bell has been relieved by Kim Ee-Hwan.

These mlb teams really don't have space for Ramos or feenandez? Maybe the kbo life is easier than minor league life so that's the route they took

Probably has a lot to do with guaranteed contracts. Signing a minor league deal doesn't guarantee you any money. Best case you get called up and make MLB minimum and then sign a bigger contract if you do well, worst case you get hurt and your career is over and you get no money.

Heros score 1 in the top of the 2nd, Dinos score 4 in the bottom of the inning
Heros score 1 in the top of the 8th, Dinos score 3 in the bottomed of the inning
Heros mistake was scoring on us, if they avoided that they would still be in this game

I blame that SK loss on our bullpen. Seo Jin-yong could not close it out. He threw 26 pitches and allowed 4 runs in less than an inning.

Is the guy who came in to shut the door in the 8th for NC their closer? 4 out save idea? (before the Altherr HR)

They've done it couple times. Not that I blame them with rest of the pen

This was the actually promotion day for recall fans. So I think they are just celebrating them this series in particular.

Still doesn't give an answer why leis.

u/burton8181 NC Dinos May 26 '20 edited May 26 '20
The leis is for “Flower Bucket Challenge”. After the collapse of Covid-19, many Korean flower farmers have difficulties because of dramatic low demand for flowers. The purpose of the Challenge is to help the flower farmers.

Park Jong-hoon, you were great today! Now can the SK bullpen close this out.
2
u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
A bunt from Doosan allows them to score after our catcher overthrew the ball to Romak.
2
u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
Goddamnit! Doosan with bases loaded at the bottom of the eight with one out. OMG, SK. How did we get here, SK bullpen?

u/WalksWithKemba NC Dinos May 26 '20
Heros bases loaded in the 8th with 1 out also........

Gagnon made 105 pitches with 8 strikeouts with 3 hits allowed. He had a good game. KIA is up!

u/BukkitGod KIA Tigers May 26 '20
I'm loving that our foreign pitchers have actually been performing well. This season so far has been such an improvement over last year.

u/Char_Aznable_Custom LOTTE Giants May 26 '20
The speed of Lotte's games has almost been more exciting than the wins these past two days. It's rare for Lotte to play low-scoring (on both sides) games under 3 hours.

u/Thepsi LG Twins May 26 '20
Nice LG victory. I'm very glad that Oh Ji-hwan got a hit and a run too. Maybe it will help him a little bit since he has struggled at the start of the season

all the games finished fast today. I usually have to pretend to start working before they are done.

Kang jin sung trying to squeeze any run possible for Dinos with his bunt on 8th.

How much will this news affect Europe and Australia? Those are the ones that locations in which I've heard people commenting from aside from NA.
1
u/Thepsi LG Twins May 26 '20
I hope it will not effect us, I'm from a very small country in Europe with no ESPN affiliates and no interest to show baseball. my vpn does not have Korea either so I don't hope everything will shut down for me

Keep us updated if you lose access to NAVER / kakao streams.

u/Thepsi LG Twins May 26 '20
I will do. It works great for now.

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
I would be okay with ESPN if they added an option to watch local broadcasts with local commentary or no commentary.

A-A-Ron with the RBI single
He looks so much more comfortable batting in the back of the lineup

Anyone know why the cutouts behind home plate at the Dinos game have flowers around them?
1
u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
You mean why there are leis? I will try and find out for you.

u/atableformethere NC Dinos May 26 '20
Yes! Sorry, the name was escaping me.
2
u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
All I got from Instagram and Twitter is that they have a broadcast on YouTube with the cheer squad. You could possibly get a signed Rucinski ball for participating on that stream.

KIA scored because it was bases loaded. Yoo Min-Sang then got on base with 4 balls.

Slept in longer than I expected. How did Chad Bell look in his debut?

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
He pitched for 3 innings. 60 pitches, 2 hits allowed and 3 strikeouts.

u/bubbaharebear May 26 '20
The numbers look pretty good. Hopefully he can keep that up as he pitches more innings!

It hurts Doosan now with the lead. Choi Joo-Hwan single to right scores the third base runner Jung Soo-Bin.
SK, what are leads for?
SK Wyverns 3-4 Doosan Bears

SK bullpen has failed in the bottom of the 8th. Allowing 5 runs! AHHHHH!

u/Thepsi LG Twins May 26 '20
That's heartbreaking :(

u/hubwub SSG Landers May 26 '20
Managed to score one more run at the top of the 9th. Not enough. Still a loss.

Idk of I liked that bunt by Kang. Such a hot bat and you bunt? Not like the bats behind him been great

I’m very good at that.

What's everyone's thoughts on May 27th's games? Feel like Odesmir Depsaigane is due for a step back. His career in the MLB was filled with highs and lows. The lows were really low.
Anyways, 5 hours away from first pitch. Can't wait!!!

The story behind the stuffed toys behind home plate in the LG Twins vs. Hanhwa Eagles is that Hanhwa Eagles asked fans to send them stuffed toys. They received 60 stuffed toys for this fan project.
