Kim Kyung-moo, All-Star Game is as Tough as the Actual Game


Hanwha Eagles Manager Kim Kyung-moon: “All-Star Game is as Tough as the Actual Game… No Injuries to Starting Players”

Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon expressed regret over the shortened All-Star break.

The Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said this at the managers’ meeting (recently) ahead of the game against Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 9th, saying, “We had that discussion.”

This season’s All-Star break was four days, from the 5th to the 8th.

It was reduced by half from the previous one week. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

Even for players participating in the Home Run Derby (5th) and the All-Star Game (6th), the break period will be limited to two days.

Meanwhile, Hanwha Eagles third baseman Noh Si-hwan felt shoulder pain after participating in the Home Run Derby, and was later diagnosed with at least three weeks out after a detailed examination.

It seems that the KBO League’s decision to shorten the All-Star break could be pointed out as a direct or indirect cause of Noh Si-hwan’s injury.

Regarding this, Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, “I have something to say, but I think it would be better to hold back on my words.

The shortened break was done from above, so it is not clean for the manager to talk about this and that,” he said, refraining from making any comments.

However, when looking only at the All-Star break, he shared the perception that the current four days are too short.

Manager Kim said, “The current All-Star schedule is not one that (the players) can take it easy on, even if they try,” and “It’s just as hard as the two-day game.”

Coach Kim said, “The most important thing is for the starting players to show the fans a good game without injuries,” and added, “It’s a shame that the ‘weak baseball’ (occurs) because the starting players are out.”

Noh Si-hwan’s vacancy will be filled by Ha Ju-seok for the time being.

Coach Kim expressed his expectations, saying, “He has been quietly enduring and training hard.

I hope he will do a good job.”
