The time when Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto) started preparing for a comeback, but it still needs time, and Toronto’s patience ran out.
Toronto moved right-handed starter Alec Manoa (25, Toronto) to the Rookie League on the 7th.
Manoa is 1-7 with a 6.36 ERA in 58 appearances in 13 games this season. He notably has 42 walks, the most in the league while he pitched 58 innings.스포츠토토
On the 6th, he started in a home game against Houston and recorded 7 hits (1 home run), 1 walk and 6 runs in 0.1 innings, was knocked out early, and had his 7th loss.
He even left a rare scene where he wished for luck when he could not solve it even after doing it. On the second pitch thrown against Jeremy Pena in the first inning with no outs, Pena made a surprise bunt, and the ball rolled over the third base foul line. He looked like he was out of line, but the ball eventually stopped inside the line. Then Manoah, who was following the ball for defense, fell to the ground. He blew ‘hoo’ on the ball with his mouth, as if trying to create wind and blow it out.
When the ball stopped inside the foul line, he immediately got up and smiled as if it was a simple joke, but he made a scene that was both sad and funny. The official website of Major League Baseball said, “When the ball rolling towards the foul line stopped in the fair area, Manoa decided to encourage the ball. However, it was harder than it looked, and luck did not follow him,” he introduced this scene. In 1981, Seattle third baseman Lenny Randall got down on his stomach and crawled on a ball that was rolling outside the foul line and blew it out with his mouth, but it was eventually judged as a hit.
In the end, Manoa failed to throw the entire first inning in this game and lost a lot of runs and was knocked out early. It means rebuilding and starting again from the beginning.
Manoa is a junior who follows Ryu Hyun-jin especially well and has been close to him since he entered Toronto, and the relationship is well known in Korea. This season, along with Kevin Gaussman, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt and Yusei Kikuchi, Ryu Hyun-jin entered the position missing due to injury. However, he withdrew once without meeting expectations at all.
Major League Baseball’s official website said that Triple-A’s Borden Francis, Casey Lawrence, and Jack Thompson, as well as Mitch White, Thomas Hatch, Trent Thornton, and Trevor Richards, who are pitching for rehabilitation, are the next starting candidates, but evaluated that it could not be a long-term solution.
In the end, Toronto should look forward to Ryu Hyun-jin’s return to the top. Ryu Hyun-jin is preparing with the goal of joining the rotation with the opening of the second half on July 15 after starting rehabilitation pitching in the minor leagues during this month and after the All-Star break.
