Byung Hyun Kim Doesn’t Suck… Wait….Yes he Does…
The latest from Colorado has Pitching Phenom Byung Hyun Kim giving a game-losing grand slam homerun.
Kim (0 for 2 this season) is apparently at the bottom of the pitching roster in the Rockies bullpen. It seems he was put in the game out of sheer desparation.
“He’s a hot hitter, and when he came up in the seventh we had limited options,” Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. “My starter had thrown 112 pitches and my bullpen was down to a couple of pitchers.” …
Here’s how it went down:
Trailing 5-3 in the seventh, San Francisco loaded the bases on three walks, the first two issued by starter Jason Jennings.
“I knew I was done when I walked Pedro Feliz,” said Jennings, who remained winless despite striking out eight. “I wasn’t going to face Alfonzo, the hottest hitter in the league right now.”
Byung-Hyun Kim (0-2) relieved with two outs and walked Alfonzo on four pitches. Tucker hit the next pitch into the Colorado bullpen in right field for his second career slam and a 7-5 lead.
“Bad pitch,” Kim said. “Bad location.”
Think so, Kim? Bad pitch. Bad Location. Bad Pitcher.
