Why did 10 runs in 4 innings happen…"It wasn't anyone's problem, trying to forget" that day when 2.1 billion long-lived outsiders came to mind

How did William Cuevas, a long-time foreign pitcher of the KT Wiz in the professional baseball league, recover his status as a foreign ace after overcoming the nightmare of allowing 10 runs. 

Cuevas started Game 4 of the season against the Doosan Bears in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 29th and pitched six innings of two hits, three walks, seven strikeouts, and 96 pitches without allowing a run. 온라인카지노

After overcoming the crisis of loading the bases with two outs in the bottom of the first inning by striking out Yang Seok-hwan with a swing and a miss, he recovered his Cuevas-like pitching. He was out with three outs in the bottom of the second, third, and sixth innings, and was able to overcome crises with no outs in the bottom of the fourth inning and one out in the bottom of the fifth inning with ease. Except for the bottom of the first inning, the crisis of scoring rights was "zero." He pitched without allowing any runs on various breaking balls including a 149-kilometer fastball, as well as sinker, cutter, change-up and curveball. 

Cuevas said after the game, "Today is such a good day. Because I showed such a bad performance in the last game. I should have shown a good performance today, but I want to show such a good result in the next game as well."

The bad image Cuevas mentioned came in the match against Suwon SSG Landers on the 23rd. At that time, he started and became a losing pitcher with 12 hits (three home runs) and one walk and 10 runs in four innings. 

"After the last game, I had a good conversation with the power analysis team. The power analysis team pointed out the weaknesses of the previous game, which was very helpful in today's game," Cuevas said. "I thought it could happen enough while playing baseball. I've experienced three to four such cases in my 17 years of baseball, but it's past anyway, so I tried to forget it as soon as possible." 


Some expressed the view that Cuevas gave up 10 points in the match against SSG because his signature did not match with catcher Jang Sung-woo. Rather than saying that the signature was not right, the analysis that Cuevas threw the ball at his insistence, not the catcher's signature, was more powerful.

"It was never like that. It wasn't a catcher's problem, it wasn't anyone's problem," Cuevas said. "Many things happened that day. We had a bad game, and it was already in the past. I want to stop talking about bad games. I want to think positively because I had a good game today." 

Cuevas cited the strength against Doosan as another key to his good pitching on the day. It revived the memory of six scoreless innings in the wild card game at Jamsil Stadium last year. 

"I tried to quickly grasp the tendencies of Doosan batters. After grasping the tendencies, I tried to make good use of that moment," Cuevas said with a smile. "I threw well against Doosan, so I trusted myself and made good use of those parts on the mound."
