Playoff Challenges: The Issues with Finishers and Bullpen Defenses in the Football Season

2023-10-25 23:00:00

The regular season is coming to an end. This year’s football season has a phenomenon that has been rare in the past few years, that is, the finishers of each team have experienced problems. The only one with no problem is Fubon, which has the lowest record throughout the year. Whether Fubon is With Zeng Junyue or Frango serving as the terminator, their performance throughout the season has been very stable. Their defense rate and WHIP have not exceeded 1.50 and 1. The other team, CITIC, which missed the playoffs, has the terminator Lu Yanqing. The performance in the second two months of the season was abnormal, and Wu Junwei later took over the job. As for the three teams that entered the playoffs, they also had big problems in the bullpen and the last line of defense.

The first is Rakuten, who qualified for the playoffs as a wild card. Rakuten’s hitting this year is still excellent, but the pitching content of the bullpen throughout the season is not very good. Recently,Huang WeishengLai Hongcheng, and Zhu Junxiang all had defense rates higher than 4.0 in October; the most serious thing is that they have performed well in the past two years. They won the rescue title last year, and Hao Jin, the team’s immovable patron saint, seems to have changed from the beginning of the season this year. Personally, the ball power and ball control were not ideal, and the second half of the season was even worse. The defense rate in August was as high as 8.53. Therefore, at the end of August, the second army was adjusted for one month, and at the end of September, the first army was moved up, but the situation did not improve. In October, he allowed 11 hits in 8 and 1/3 innings, gave up 6 runs on 4 walks, and still had a very high ERA of 6.48, which shows that the adjustment has not taken effect.

In addition to the bullpen, Lotte will face another problem in the postseason challenge: the strength of the starting pitchers. In October, only Wei Nengdi’s performance was stable, and others such as Huang Zipeng, Chen Keyi, and Doberg have started in recent games. The maximum number of pitching innings is only 5. It seems that Zeng Renhe is still affected by the injury. In this case, the burden on the bullpen will be very heavy. Whether Hao Jin (if he is on the playoff roster) can stabilize in time is a question. A big key.

Next, there is the championship in the first half of the season, but due to the loss of the first record in the whole year, it has to compete in the post-season challenge. The reason why Uni-President won the championship in the first half of the season was because of its outstanding performance and a team ERA of only 2.76. One of the main reasons is that the hard work in the first half of the season turned into fatigue in the second half of the season. The unified team’s pitching ERA soared to 3.97 in the second half of the season, which was the worst among the five teams. This is indeed reflected in the record. It may currently be The bullpen pitchers brought into the playoffs, including Liu Xuansong, Li Qifeng, Shi Ziqian, Liu Yucheng, Huang Junyan and others, all had an ERA exceeding 3.0 in October, and many of them had an ERA above 4.0.

TerminatorChen Yunwenhis performance this year was better than last year, his defensive rating dropped to 1 again, his WHIP improved from 1.36 to 1.17, and his ball control also improved. However, in mid-September, he was demoted to the Army for recuperation due to tightness of his right pectoralis major muscle. He has been unable to perform for more than a month. If he cannot return to the first team, he will definitely not be able to make it to the post-season challenge. Even if he makes it to the Taiwan competition, he is not sure that he will be able to play. The unified coaching team has recently transferred Randall, who was originally the starter, to the relay for a few tests. This is a good way to deal with the situation when there are Blake, Bleiway, Gu Linrui Yang, Hu Zhiwei and other candidates.

Finally, Wei Chuan won the first place in the year’s record and had a home advantage of 5 games. He was waiting for Lotte and Uni-President to finish their battle before accepting the challenge. Wei Chuan had two of the most stable starting players in the league, foreign players Bree Han and Steel Dragon, pitching 1 and resting 4 cannot defeat them, not to mention that with enough rest days, pitching for more than 6 innings is not a problem, plus Wu Duo (I think I will take him), Xu Ruoxi, 4 The starting rotation with certain pressure has been formed, and the bullpen burden will be relatively less than the above two teams, but there are still several bullpen pitchers whose performance needs to be paid attention to.

Wang WeizhongandLin KaiweiThe two were the bullpen pitchers with the worst performance in October. Wang Weizhong was unable to make it to the start of the season due to knee discomfort after playing the Classic this year. After returning at the end of May, he mainly worked as a reliever. His performance in the second half of the season was not very good, especially in 10 In August, he played 4 games in 2 and 2/3 innings and allowed 7 hits including 1 home run. His batting average was as high as 438% and his ERA was 10.13. Terminator Lin Kaiwei suffered a slight injury to his foot at the end of August. He was forced to play in the second team due to a laceration. Prior to that, he temporarily ranked the league’s rescue leader with 18 saves. Lin Kaiwei returned to the first team at the end of September and played in the game, but it is not known whether the injury has not fully recovered or is recovering from the injury. However, they have not adjusted well. They have lost points in 4 of the 9 games played so far, and their defense rate is as high as 12.14. At this stage, there are still about 10 days for the two players to adjust. The condition of the two players is also crucial to whether Wei Quan can win. The first Taiwan competition champion after rejoining the army.
