How a PostSeason Goes

Hi guys! This is the first article that will not concerning the weekend games. This will be about how the postseason is progressed for the top four teams.

First, the 4th best team plays the 3rd best team for a best of 5 match. The first team that wins three games goes up, with the other team eliminated from competition.

Then, that team faces the 2nd best team for a best of 5 match. The first team that wins three games goes up, with the other team eliminated from competition.

Finally, that team faces the best team for a best of 7 match. The first team that wins four games wins the Korean Series, with the losing team as a runner up.

Even if the best team league-wise loses the Series, the team will still get a pennant for being the team with the highest winning percentage.

Kia won the most Series, winning 10 times. Although they were a great team in the 1980's and 1990's, the tide turned and recently they won only one Korean Series. This year, Kia has a high chance of not qualifying for the playoffs.

So far, the team who won the 2nd most Korean Series is Samsung, who qualified for being in the playoffs more than 25 times, and won the Korean Series 6 times.

Recent polls say that Samsung will win the Korean Series again for the third time in a row, which they won from 2011 and won it again from 2012.

Samsung is probably the most dominant team in the Series, with a winning percentage of more than 60%.

For LG, this is a time when they get to go into the playoffs from a long time, most recently 2000.

9/22/13 Doosan vs Kia

Hi guys! Sorry for the long delay of games, but now we will be jumping on to the end of the season for the baseball players. Today we will be reporting the September 22 games of KBO.

The first game is going to be based on Kia and Doosan, with Kia having Yang Hyun-jong as starter after a tireless rehabilitation period, and Doosan will have Hankins as the starter.

The first inning started out pretty rough for Doosan and Kia, with Kia scoring 4 runs in a single inning, letting all 9 batters hit in one inning. Doosan tried to fight back by scoring a run in the same first inning. In the third inning Doosan scored again, getting closer and closer. In the third inning, Lee Won-suk hit a two run homer to tie the score. Now Kia had to score again in order to try and win, which they did twice in the 5th inning. By then, Hankins was switched with Byun Jin-soo. Doosan fought back, scoring once. Then, Lee Won suk hit yet another homer in the 7th inning, winning the ballgame altogether.

Unfortunately, today that's all the time we have. Stay tuned for the article about the postseason!

September 8th, 2013 Baseball games 1 and 2

Hi guys! This is TSN Baseball, and I will be reporting on the Saturday games. Before we give you any reports on the games, we apologize for the delay of reporting on last week's games. We are sorry for any inconvenience that we caused. Sorry!

Anyways, we will be reporting four games for Saturday. Stay tuned for the Sunday games.

The first game we would be reporting is the game of Samsung and LG. Samsung's starter pitcher, Bae Young-soo, finally started pitching after rehabilitation from a previous injury. LG's starting pitcher is Woo Gyu-min, with a win-loss record of 9-5. The game started off with Samsung scoring one run in the first inning, while LG could do nothing to turn the situation upside down. Samsung scored 3 more runs the following inning, which finished the game for the day. LG was helpless, and the team went scoreless until the 9th inning. Samsung scored three more times, in the 6th, 8th, and 9th inning. Woo Gyu-min switched out of the game in the 6th inning, but it didn't do much good, as 4 more changes in pitchers occurred. LG managed to score two runs in the ninth inning, as starting pitcher Jang Won-sam came and saved the game, although they couldn't turn the scores around, which let Samsung capture the prestige of being first place with LG.

The second game that we are going to report is the game of Hanwha and Kia. the starting pitcher of Hanwha Eagles will be Yoon Geun-young, with a win-loss record of 2-3. The game started out pretty rough for Hanwha, as Yoon Geun-young threw a base-and-ball to Lee Yong-kyu. Then, shortstop Park Gi-nam for Kia blasted a ball over the left fence for a homerun, which made Kia winning 0:2. However, Kia would not know what disaster would happen next.

The appalling twist of fate started when Seo Jae-eung, the starting pitcher for Kia, started giving up a lot of hits. Kim Tae-whan walked to first, then Jeong Hyun-seok hit a double, which made man on third and first. More walks and hits followed, and a total of 12 batters got to hit in the same inning, and the score flipped to 6:2, which practically gave the game a winning team. By then, Park Gyung-tae came in to pitch the game. In the fourth inning, consecutive hits allowed Kia to move up 6:4, in an endeavor to turn the tables. This only encouraged Hanwha to go further, as Hanwha scored 4 more runs in the 5th inning. Kia retaliated from the help of a hit by pitch, when Kim Gwang-soo came in to pitch the game for Yoon Geun-young. This led Kia to 10:5. Hanwha went more aggressive, as they scored another run in the 9th inning. Lee Tae-yang came to finish up the game, and the game ended 11:5, with the first win to Kim Gwang-soo and the 9th loss to Seo Jae-eung.

Please stay tuned for the game of NC vs. SK, and Doosan vs. Nexen!

The score started changing in the second inning, when Lotte had a stroke of luck. A base and balls put Jeon Jun-woo on first base. Another base and balls put a man on. Then, Park Jong-yun hit a good one, and one man got on and scored. Then another hit a fly out, letting another score. Then the inning retired with a fly out. LG retaliated in the following inning, letting in a run with the help of two base and balls. The following two innings, LG went on a roll, scoring again and again.

The last game for Saturday is NC vs. Kia. NC has Lee Sung-min as the starter and Kia has Lim Jun-sup as the starter. In the first inning, the NC Dinos went off with a good start with Na Sung-bum hitting a homerun. Kia went off to a slow start, as NC hit yet another homerun, as Kwon Hee-dong hit a solo homerun, to make the score 2:0. The score was 3:0 in the 5th inning, but again slugger Lee Ho-jun hit a homerun. It was until in the 8th inning when Kia player Kim Ju-hyung hit a homerun off the bat. In the 9th inning, though, things were worthless, as NC scored in three more runs.

8/31/13 no.1

       Hi guys! This is TSN Baseball and we will tell you how the Saturday games of baseball went. This is the first article about baseball, and we wish that you concentrate highly on the game highlights.
       Before we tell you how the scores went or who was the MVP of anything, there is one important news I would tell you. KBO is finally deciding to play baseball games at Monday, which previously Mondays were considered resting days. Therefore, we could all enjoy a new Monday without having to be anxious to look forward to Tuesdays.
     The first game that we would report to you is Nexen Heroes vs. Hanwha Eagles. Hanwha was looking forward to end their losing streak of 4 games in a row. As of last Saturday (August 31st, 2013), Hanwha was 9th place because of their struggling. Nexen, on the other hand, was going on to sweep the Eagles and be a hero to defeat the wild eagles. We will be talking about this game only for this blog.
    The Heroes' starting pitcher was Andy Van Hekken, who had a win-loss record of 8-9. Van Hekken was a fairly good pitcher, except for the fact that he is a little slow in pitching. The Eagles' starting pitcher was Dana Eveland, with a win-loss record of 4-11.
      The Heroes had a good start in the first inning, when they had bases loaded in the 1st inning. Seo Gun-chang and Park Beung-ho got 4 balls, while Lee Taek-geun got a hit to left field. There was 1 out, when Song Ji-man got a ground out to second base. Then, an unfortunate two strikeouts from Kang Jeong-ho and Kim Min-sung got the Eagles out of danger. In the bottom of the 1st inning, Lee Hak-jun flied out to the left field. Then, Han Sang-hoon got hit by Van Hekken, and went to first base. Then, Choi Jin-heng hit a hit and there was man on 1st and 2nd base. Then Lee Yang-gi hit a double and did a good thing. He hit a double and the score was 1:0. However, before they could score again, two strikeouts followed, and it was the 2nd inning. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Hanhwa scored again, with a 2-0 score. The score stayed that way until the fourth inning, when Kang Jeong-ho blasted a ball out of the field for a home run. The score was 2:1 now. The Eagles fought back and the score was 3:1.
   In the 6th inning, back to back hits let the Heroes score, and the score was 3:2. However, the score stayed that way until the end of the game, and the Eagles beat the Heroes 3:2, with a loss to Van Hekken and a win to Eveland. Stay tuned for the other games for Saturday!
