It’s a strange time for Samsung in the Korean baseball league.
They’ve fallen to last place in the league, and there’s quite a gap between them and ninth-place Hanwha. Coincidentally, Samsung is not only doing poorly in baseball, but also in other professional sports. With a 7-17 record this month, Samsung has the worst winning percentage of all 10 KBO teams. And just last week, it dropped to last place in the league. Last place in five years and one month since May 2018. While their team batting average of 2.065 this month ranks sixth in the league, their team ERA of 5.16 ranks ninth. On top of that, five of their last ten games have come from behind. The team’s mood is bound to sink even further as they seem to have a lot of games in hand, 카지노사이트 only to give it away. The most experienced pitcher, Oh Seung-hwan, recently returned to the team after being suspended from the first team for an unusually harsh outburst on the mound. However, the team has a sizable lead over Hanwha, which is ninth in the league, and other teams in the bottom half of the standings, so escaping the bottom of the table may be difficult for the time being. Coincidentally, Samsung’s teams are not only languishing in last place in baseball, but also in soccer. Last season, volleyball and basketball also finished in last place, leading some to joke that all four sports could have a “last place grand slam” this year. In the 2010s, Samsung’s professional sports teams were all powerhouses that built an image of prestige. Samsung’s ‘one-upmanship’ was transplanted to sports, and the company invested heavily in them, but after Choi Soon-sil’s ‘Choi Soon-sil gate’, Samsung gradually began to pull back as it felt the burden of running the sports teams. The decline in Samsung’s performance became visible when the management of the sports teams was transferred from Samsung Group to Cheil Worldwide. Although Cheil Industries claims that the operating costs are not much different from before, the actual amount of money spent has decreased. This contrasts with SSG, where Shinsegae Vice Chairman Chung Yong-jin has recently become more active, and Lotte Chairman Shin Dong-bin, who has increased his involvement with baseball.
