of seven-game losing streak

“Deteriorating health” under the acting regime of Lee Jong-woon.

The pledge to “start hitting in August” (8 chiol) is actually a lie again this year. Baseball team Lotte has decided to entrust the ‘9th Chiol’ mission to head coach Lee Jong-woon (57) in place of manager Larry Sutton (53-photo), 한국야동 who announced his intention to resign.

Lotte said, “Coach Sutton tendered his resignation after the Anbang game on the 27th, citing health reasons.
