# “Please say we heard it with our balls” NC-Samsung match, controversy over ABS misjudgment likely to spread On the afternoon of the 7th, the '[2024 KBO Rules-Rule Change Media Briefing](https://www.espguitars.com/posts/1990255-go-woo-seok-of-san-diego-leaves-on-the-9th-to-prepare-for-the-season-mlb-challenge-begins)' is being held at The K Hotel Seoul in Seocho-gu, Seoul. In the game between NC Dinos and Samsung Lions, an ABS (Automatic Ball-Strike System) error occurred. The game between NC and Samsung took place at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th. An absurd incident occurred while NC Lee Jae-hak was pitching during Samsung's attack in the third inning when NC was ahead 1-0. [스포츠 토토사이트](https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/2023년-11월-스포츠-토토사이트-순위-및-추천-사설토토-먹튀검증-top15-news-328577) After two outs, Samsung's Kim Ji-chan reached base with a pitch that hit his body, and Lee Jae-hyeon came to bat. Jaehak Lee caught the first pitch as a strike and then threw two pitches. At this time, Ji-chan Kim attempted to steal base and lived on second base. The original judge ruled the game out, but it was overturned as safe after a video review. Lee Jae-hak's second pitch was ruled a ball. Afterwards, Jaehak Lee threw two more balls and then threw the fifth pitch strike. On the electronic display board, it was recorded as 2 strikes and 3 balls. At this time, NC coach Kang In-kwon came off the bench and headed to the referee. Coach Kang previously claimed that the second pitch Jae-hak Lee threw when Ji-chan Kim stole base was a strike, but was counted as a ball. [The KBO](https://www.espguitars.com/posts/1990257-if-they-fail-in-the-quarterfinals-klinsman-can-be-dismissed-without-penalty), which introduced ABS this year, provided each team with a tablet to view ABS decision results, and the NC side claimed that Lee Jae-hak's two pitches were marked as strikes on this tablet. According to the display on the tablet, Jaehyun Lee should have struck out, not 2 strikes and 3 balls. In response to Director Kang's opposition, the four judges gathered together and discussed the matter. The umpire acknowledged ABS's error, but explained that the ruling remained as is, saying that the statute of limitations on appeal had expired as Manager Kang did not protest immediately after Kim Ji-chan's stolen base. However, during this process, the conversation between the referees was broadcast, and the referee said to the referee, “The voice clearly recognized it as a ball. What we're getting out of is... “That’s all I have,” he said. Given the circumstances, this part can be interpreted as the referee trying to blame their error on the machine. It was an unfair situation for NC, but they could not overturn the referee's decision. After an argument over the decision for about 8 minutes, Lee Jae-hak threw 6 pitches against Lee Jae-hyeon, but he threw the ball and allowed the player to get on base. The aftermath of the misjudgment of the one-ball count was significant. Lee Jae-hak, who had pitched well before, suddenly faltered. Lee Jae-hak hit an RBI double from Koo Ja-wook and a timely hit with 2 RBIs from David MacKinnon, allowing the score to go back to 1-3 in an instant. NC failed to reverse the changing trend. They made up 1 run in the top of the 4th inning, but in the bottom of the 4th inning, Lee Jae-hak hit a home run to Lee Seong-gyu and Kim Jae-sang, giving up 3 more runs. In the end, NC lost heavily to [Samsung](https://www.espguitars.com/posts/1990259-lingard-joins-professional-soccer-club-fc-seoul-i-will-contribute-to-the-success-of-the-k-league) with a final score of 5-12. For NC, the third inning was a situation that would forever be regrettable. After the game that day, the NC side contacted the KBO and strongly protested the ABS misjudgment. Accordingly, the KBO decided to receive a report from the referees to determine the exact facts. If it is confirmed that the referees tried to blame the machine to hide their mistakes, it seems that they will not be able to avoid severe punishment. [일본야동](https://www.19guide03.com)
