"Compared to the bullpen that waits under stress every day, the starter is treated like a king who adjusts enough preparation period and routine."

Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man (50) threw an unusually intense rebuke at left-hander Lee Seung-hyun (24), who took the mound as a starter the previous day (8th), but failed to fill 3 innings and lost 12 runs. In fact, he made a "cold decision" by officially eliminating the starting rotation. The second team has declared that it will begin rowing for the time being. He also did not decide when to return to the first team.

Coach Park Jin-man said, "I don't know about left-hander Lee Seung-hyun's pitching ahead of the game against the KIA Tigers, which was scheduled to be held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 9th. Honestly, I don't understand," he said.

Lee Seung-hyun threw 92 pitches in two ⅔ innings against KIA on the 8th, leaving a disastrous report card of 11 hits, 8 walks and 12 runs. Coach Park continued to criticize, emphasizing the "privilege" enjoyed by starting pitchers and the "responsibility" that followed.

Manager Park said, "The starting pitcher is given enough time to prepare for five days and takes the mound as a king who is treated according to his routine and schedule," adding, "Compared to bullpen pitchers who are stressed out by waiting hard every day, he is treated like a 'king.'" "In such a situation, the pitching like yesterday lacked responsibility as a starting pitcher," he said.

His undulating ball control was also on the cutting board. Regarding Lee Seung-hyun's pitching, coach Park also said, "The ball control was not done at all and the ball speed was lowered. There may be differences in condition for each pitcher, but if the deviation is this large, you can't have faith on the bench," made clear said. "We have to leave the starting rotation first."

In fact, Samsung moved quickly. Lee Seung-hyun was immediately removed from the entry along with outfielder Soo-ho and batter Kim Tae-hoon, who complained of injury, and fielders such as Park Seung-gyu, Lee Sung-kyu and Ryu Seung-min filled the spot. Coach Park said, "Lee Seung-hyun needs to reorganize first. We will see how we prepare in the Futures," he said, hinting that it will not be easy to return to the first team for the time being.

The starting gap created by Lee Seung-hyun's departure will be filled by the return of "Ace" Won Tae-in and the change of existing resources. Coach Park said, "Won Tae-in will return on Sunday (12th) and run the rotation with Hurado, O'Rourkelyn, Choi Won-tae and Yang Chang-seop." He also added, "If Jwa Seung-hyun's condition does not come up, we are also planning to increase the number of pitches by converting Jang Chan-hee, who is currently active as a long relief player, to the starting pitcher."

Meanwhile, batter Kim Tae-hoon, who was replaced by an injury the previous day, is undergoing a thorough examination at Daegu Designated Hospital due to a suspected left hamstring injury. Coach Park explained, "Even if there is no damage, it will be difficult to play in the game for three to four days, so we excluded it from the entry."
