PO Game 3 Lake Rain’ KT Park Kyung-soo “I’m not Impressed”
Fans think of Park Kyung-soo’s Lake Rain in the 2021 Korean series
Even after a day, the afterglow of Park Gyeong-soo (39, kt wiz)’s lake rain remained at Changwon NC Park.
When colleagues and reporters showered praise on Park Kyung-soo ahead of Game 4 of the 2023 Professional Baseball Playoffs (PO) against the NC Dinos, he waved his hands and said, “It wasn’t enough to be admired.”
Even though Park Kyung-soo repeatedly humbled himself, everyone who met him ahead of the 4th PO game held at Changwon NC Park on the 3rd raised the topic of ‘Hoho’s rain in the 3rd game’. 먹튀검증가이드
In Game 2 of PO on the 2nd, in the bottom of the 7th inning with a 3-0 lead, Park Kyung-soo caught leadoff hitter Jason Martin’s hard hit with his body and threw it accurately to first base.
An exclamation came from the stands and dugout.
Park Kyung-soo said, “I’m grateful that you saw it that way, but in my opinion, it wasn’t a defense that had a decisive impact on the game,” and joked, “If he was a more agile player than me, he would have caught it from the front without falling.”
However, with a slight lead, Park Kyung-soo’s defense was a great help to KT bullpen Son Dong-hyun, who took the mound at the start of the bottom of the 7th inning.
He was also a defender who broke NC’s will to chase.
Park Gyeong-soo said, “In a situation where we lost 2 POs, our KT players were really focused and played the 3rd game.
Moreover, the veteran infielders made mistakes in the 1st and 2nd games, so they wanted to make up for it.
In the 3rd game, the infielders made no mistakes. “The game is over, and our team won.
I’m happy that we dragged PO to the 4th game,” he said, shouting ‘Team First’.
KT lost both games due to an error by third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun (36) in the first game and an error by first baseman Park Byeong-ho (37) in the second game.
Park Gyeong-soo said, “I, (Park) Byeong-ho, (Hwang) Jae-gyun, and other seniors started off as POs by pledging, ‘We want to lighten the burden on the juniors in this postseason.’
But when we made a mistake, we felt really sorry for the juniors.”
“Fortunately, we won the third game, and the atmosphere is changing, so we will do our best to advance to the Korean Series.”
In 2021, when KT won its first overall championship, Park Kyung-soo was named the Korean Series Most Valuable Player (MVP).
At the time, Park Kyung-soo’s batting performance was not outstanding, with 2 hits in 8 at-bats, 1 home run, and 1 RBI, but he saved the team with several great performances.
Park Kyung-soo was injured in Game 3 of the Korean Series and was unable to play in Game 4.
KT ended the 2021 Korean Series in 4 games, and after the team’s victory was confirmed, Park Kyung-soo walked toward his juniors with support from Yu Han-jun.
It was a famous scene that will remain in Korean baseball history.
KT fans who remember Park Kyung-soo’s good performance in the 2021 Korean Series had hope again for Park Kyung-soo’s good performance in Game 3 of PO on the 2nd.
Park Kyung-soo said, “When we won, our infield defense was really good.
Mistakes are contagious, and bad rain spreads to our teammates.”
He added, “Our infield played good defense in the third game, so there will be a good rain parade in the remaining games.” I expected it.
In Game 4, Park Kyung-soo was left out of the starting lineup.
Oh Yoon-seok will start as second baseman in place of Park Kyung-soo.
Park Kyung-soo said, “I’m not disappointed at all.
Yoon Seok’s batting skills are good.”
He added, “I hope we score first and maintain the lead until the 7th inning, so that it becomes a game where I step into the big defense and say, ‘Yoon Seok, you worked hard. I’ll take care of the second half.’
“I hope,” he grinned.
