The directors were the main characters of bench clearing.
The final schedule of the three consecutive weekend series between the Lotte Giants and the Samsung Lions was held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Wednesday. With Lotte leading 5-0, the team had no runners with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Samsung right-hander Yang Chang-seop threw a 148-km four-seam fastball to Yoon's head from the first pitch. Yoon collapsed in surprise.
Then, bench clearing broke out. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung took the lead in the game and got angry in the direction of Samsung's dugout on third base. Veteran Jung Hoon could not stop Kim Tae-hyung. Cho Won-woo, the head coach, came out quickly to stop Kim Tae-hyung, and Kang Min-ho, the oldest player at Samsung, approached to actively mediate the situation.
In bench clearing, a coach stays put. It is common practice for coaches to mingle with players and dry players on the ground. However, it is customary for coaches to wait and see situations from the bench. Manager Kim's behavior was quite unusual.
When Kim Tae-hyung expressed anger at Samsung, Samsung coach Park Jin-man couldn't stay still. Park Jin-man also came to the ground late and approached Kim Tae-hyung and said something. SPOTV commentator Lee Dae-hyeong, who broadcast the game on site, explained that Park Jin-man apologized to Kim Tae-hyung. As soon as Kim heard from Park Jin-man, Kim Tae-hyung quickly returned to the first base dugout.
Since then, the seniors have finally settled the situation. Samsung Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook, Lotte Jeon Joon-woo and Kim Min-sung talked, and the situation ended quickly. Bench clearing often occurs these days, but there are not many cases where players from both teams actually exercise violence.
In fact, Lotte has recently been sensitive to threatening pitches or dunes. Recently, many players have emerged as dunes. Jeon Min-jae, a "trade lucky star" who returned from the three consecutive games, was the beginning. It was the game against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on April 29. Lotte, which lost the hottest hitter in the league, was hit hard.
Since then, there have been head shots to Lee Ho-joon and Son Seong-bin and Jang Doo-sung, and threatening balls to Yoo Kang-nam and Jeon Jun-woo. The opposing teams are KT Wiz, KIA Tigers, and Samsung Lions. Only pitchers know exactly whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, Lotte had no choice but to be sensitive. 메이저놀이터
It was shortly after Jeon Min-jae's three-run shot to the left with coach Kim Tae-hyung leading 2-0 just in Yoon Dong-hee's threatening ball with the lid open. For Lotte, it was a situation where they could have reasonable doubts, and Kim Tae-hyung might have thought that if they put up with it, they would lose ground. Instead, Kim Tae-hyung quickly left the ground as soon as he received Park Jin-man's apology, showing the standard of "hit and run."
Samsung also handled the situation well. The seniors actively mediated the situation, and with Kim Tae-hyung taking the lead, coach Park Jin-man came to the ground and apologized or explained. However, Yang Chang-seop, who threw a threatening ball to Yoon Dong-hee, was not seen expressing his apology to Lotte's team through broadcasting.
