The Samsung Lions exposed serious anxiety on the mound with the season just around the corner.온라인카지노
Samsung lost to the LG Twins 5-10 at an exhibition game of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday. Pitchers gave up 12 hits in a row.
Choi Won-tae (28), a "transfer student" who was hired as a free agent, started against his former team LG. Choi, who played for LG until the last season, signed a four-year contract with Samsung for up to 7 billion won after becoming a free agent.
Choi pitched well with two hits and no runs until the third inning, but suddenly collapsed in the top of the fourth inning with Samsung leading 3-0. With three walks, he caused a two-out full base crisis, and allowed Song Chan-eui and Moon Jung-bin to tie the game 3-3 and be replaced. He had four hits, three walks, five strikeouts and three runs in three ⅔ innings.
In the top of the seventh inning, Samsung's veteran closer Oh Seung-hwan took the mound, but failed to block LG's offensive. After Shin Min-jae got on base with a pitch, he allowed three runs due to Austin's left-handed hit, Moon Bo-kyung's superior two-run double, and Koo Bon-hyuk's timely hit. Oh Seung-hwan, the oldest pitcher in the KBO League, received poor report card of three hits, one out and three runs during one inning in his first appearance this season.
Samsung chased 5-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning when rookie Shim Jae-hoon (18) hit a two-run home run to the left against LG bullpen Kim Jin-sung, but in the top of the eighth inning, even veteran bullpen pitcher Kim Tae-hoon (33) gave up three runs due to Ahn Ik-hoon's two-run triple.
In the top of the ninth inning, another veteran Lim Chang-min (39) also allowed an additional point, showing signs of shaking the entire Samsung pitching staff.
Samsung, considered the "three strongest" this season, is in big trouble ahead of the season's opening due to the collapse of Oh Seung-hwan, Kim Tae-hoon, and Lim Chang-min, the key resources of the bullpen, as well as starter Choi Won-tae, who was recruited as an FA.
