In anticipation of the 2025 KBO League, there is one thing that no one doubted. KIA, the 'defending champion,' has made the strongest team ever. However, the team is on shaky ground. It is also very serious. It has only played seven games so far, but Kia seems to have made an unusual start.카지노사이트

KIA lost 4-5 in an away game against Hanwha in the 2025 KBO League held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th. Soon, its losing streak has increased to 4. As of the 29th, the team tied for 8th with Doosan and Lotte with 2 wins and 5 losses. Since there are no other teams below, the team is tied for last.
 
The game got off to a better start. Choi Hyung-woo's two-run shot was followed by Patrick Wisdom's back-to-back home run in the first inning to start the game 3-0. Han Jun-su's sacrifice fly gave the team a 4-0 lead in the third inning. "Big pitcher" Yang Hyeon-jong, who had only one win left in his career of 180 wins, allowed three runs in the third inning to be chased down 4-3, but Yang went down the mound as a winning pitcher by allowing six hits, three four outs, five strikeouts, and three runs (one earned) through six innings.

After Yang Hyun-jong went down, he was dead. The bullpen shook greatly again. Cho Sang-woo, a setup man, was called in with two outs and a first base in the seventh inning to finish the inning by treating Noh Si-hwan with a ground ball to shortstop, but Cho Sang-woo received consecutive hits from leadoff hitter Chae Eun-sung and pinch hitter Moon Hyun-bin in the eighth inning, and catcher Han Jun-su's fastball drove him to the second and third bases with no outs.
 
Kia's infield defense showed its determination not to yield a single point through its forward defense, while Cho induced pinch hitter Lee Do-yoon to ground out to shortstop, catching third baseman Lim Jong-chan from its home ground. Kia's bench choice is Cho Sang-woo's steel plate and Hwang Dong-ha's plate.

However, Kia's bench failed to yield the ball. Hanwha's bench hit An Chi-hong, sending out three consecutive pinch hitters. It was the victory for Hanwha's bench. An Chi-hong hit his first hit of the season with a timely two-run hit, and Kia allowed its team to come from behind to lose 4-5.
 
With a one-run difference in tough save situation in the ninth inning, Hanwha put its new relief pitcher Kim Seo-hyun on the mound. It was the first time that Kim took the mound in a situation where it secured a save situation since it converted to the closing pitcher. Was he nervous at a situation where he would record a bloke just by hitting a homer? Kim gave up a straight walk to pinch hitter Park Jae-hyun, but struck out Kim Kyu-sung, grounded out Choi Won-joon to the shortstop, and grounded out pinch hitter Kim Sun-bin to the shortstop, making his first save of the season.
 
KIA's three consecutive losses out of the last four were all due to the bullpen's arson. At the match against Kiwoom in Gwangju on the 27th, closer Jung Hae-young, who took the mound for a save in the ninth inning with a 3-2 lead, made a blon save with two hits, two walks and three runs, and lost the game.

The match against Hanwha was even worse on Sunday. Jeon allowed a solo shot to Kim Tae-yeon even though he had a good two-out lead in the seventh inning, and was substituted after walking Im Jong-chan and Lee Jin-young. Kwak Do-gyu then walked Moon Hyun-bin to load the bases with two outs, allowed a 2-2 tie, and allowed a 2-2 tie to Hwang Young-mook, and allowed the ball to be thrown to Choi In-ho, resulting in a 2-3 come-from-behind victory. The KIA bench hurriedly put Lee Joon-young on the mound, but Floral's two-run double widened the gap to 2-5. He gave up two more runs in the eighth inning, losing power to win.

Before the start of this season, no one doubted that KIA was the strongest power in the league. Jang Hyun-sik, who played the role of the bullpen's "madang" in the unified winning process, became a FA and left for LG with a total of 5.2 billion won for four years, but he minimized the loss of power by trading Cho Sang-woo, a former save king, from Kiwoom. The fact that Kia sent two rookie draft picks and up to 1 billion won in cash in the process of bringing in Cho Sang-woo shows that it was a trade that added to Kia's commitment to win two consecutive Korean Series titles. However, the entire bullpen seems to crumble regardless of whether it is a must-win group or not at the beginning of the season.

The batting lineup is going well, but not as a whole team. Kim Do-young, the team's top hitter, left the opening game due to a hamstring injury, and Park Chan-ho, the core of the infield defense, is also away due to a knee injury.

With Kia on shaky ground, LG is racing to win the opening seven consecutive games. Already, the gap between the two teams is widened to five games. No matter how early the season is and 137 games are left, this gap is hard to ignore. Will Kia be able to overcome the crisis in the early days of the season to regain its status as an "absolute No. 1 player" and rise to the top of the ranking table? Judging from what it has shown, it will never be easy.
