Six starts, three losses, no wins, 12.71 ERA. Only one quality start (6+ innings or 3 earned runs or less). The manager’s patience with SSG Landers’ Robert Duggar has reached its limit.
“I’m thinking about Robert Duggar,” Lee told reporters before the game against the Busan Lotte Giants on May 25, “and I’ll make a cold judgment. I will judge him coldly,” Lee said coldly.
“I talked to the pitching department and the power analysis team. We’re looking at all the options, all the possibilities. We will think about it,” he added.
He didn’t say much more. The comments encompassed everything from reassignment to the second team to release.
Duggar hasn’t been worth his $900,000 salary at all. 스포츠토토 Foreign pitchers are a valuable commodity for a team with only two. Duggar broke into the majors in 2016 and hasn’t looked like the player he was in 27 games (13 starts) in the big leagues.
He wasn”t good in exhibition games.
The same is true in the regular season. Out of six games, there were only two that were above average, most notably against the NC Dinos on June 6, where he gave up a whopping 14 runs (13 earned) on 12 hits and seven walks in three innings. This may have been the final nail in the coaching coffin for Lee.
The previous day against Lotte, he gave up seven runs in 2⅔ innings. The bats turned it around, but it was still a disappointment.
Duggar, however, reacted to the bench’s substitution. He shook his head and refused to give up the ball, to which Lee said “no comment.”
There were many disappointing moments for Dugger. In the first inning, Yoon Dong-hee hit a leadoff single and then made an error at second base, and in the third inning, Hwang Sung-bin hit a triple and then made a replay error. Heredia’s defense on Son Ho-young’s triple was also disappointing.
Even so, pitchers are expected to make the best of the worst situations. Duggar gave up seven runs on nine hits in 2⅔ innings. He must have felt it himself.
Lee acknowledged that Dugger’s days have been “weirdly twisted,” with bad luck such as errors and irregular bounds. Still, 온라인카지노사이트 a pitcher’s job is to minimize runs, and the reality is that Duggar’s performance this season has fallen far short of expectations.
“I’m a very deliberative person, and once I make a decision, I don’t think about it. I don’t look back. I’ll think about Duggar in a lot of different ways.”
