Lotte was completely defeated in the opening two consecutive games. It lost 2-12 to LG in the opening game of the regular season at Jamsil Stadium on the 22nd, and then 2-10 on the 23rd.

The team's defeat in the opening game is disappointing. Charlie Barnes, who started the game, collapsed by allowing eight hits, three walks, two strikeouts and seven runs during three innings. Lotte, which gave up 15 hits to LG, only allowed two runs on seven hits.먹튀검증

Most of all, he made fatal mistakes. He recorded three errors on the day, the most among the 10 teams that played in the opening game.

Barnes struck out Song Chan-ui in the first inning with one out and one on the first base when he was already trailing 0-3, but catcher Yoo Kang-nam made a throwing error while trying to block Oh Ji-hwan's steal from the first base. It made it even more difficult for Barnes, who was already struggling with a run early in the game.

Additional mistakes were made in the fourth inning. After one out, first baseman Na Seung-yeop threw LG's Moon Bo-kyung's hit to the back and watched the ball roll to the outfield. With Song Chan's timely hit to the left, Moon Bo-kyung homered and widened the gap from 2-7 to 2-8.

It was not the end. In the fifth inning, Song Jae-young induced Kim Hyun-soo to ground out to the second base with runners on the first and second bases with one out, and attempted to end the inning by double play. However, second baseman Ko Seung-min hit a foul ball. The score widened to 2-9. As mistakes repeatedly poured cold water on him, he had no power to chase after him. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat in the opening game.

Last year, Lotte had 113 errors, the largest number after KIA (127). Notably, it made 25 errors in September, when it was a showdown between the team and the team that advanced to the semifinals, and thus has become far away from the autumn baseball.

During the off-season, Lotte made efforts to supplement its defense capabilities. Even in the spring camp that continued from Taiwan to Miyazaki, Japan, day and night, the team continued its exercise. Players used to lie down on the ground while receiving funkos.

Lotte was betrayed by the opening game, saying, "Sweat drops do not betray."

The following day, he failed to renew his commitment. On the same day, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung excluded Hwang Sung-bin, who was the first center fielder in the opening game, and put Yoon Dong-hee in the starting lineup. The team drastically revised its starting lineup, including Son Ho-young, who was placed in the second position instead of Ko Seung-min, but it did not have much effect.

Starter Park Se-woong gave up the lead early on, slumping to four runs on eight hits including three homers during five innings. Lotte hit five homers on the day. There were no errors, but hitters ended up scoring two runs on six hits.
