Lotte lost 0-7 against LG in Jamsil on the 10th. With five games left in the regular season, the No. 1 postseason trauma disappeared with 66 wins and 73 losses. Fall baseball officially failed for the sixth consecutive year. In fact, it was difficult to advance to the fall baseball, but even the 0.1% chance completely disappeared from the game.
Lotte suffered a dark period of failing to advance to fall baseball for seven consecutive years until 2007, including baseball for four consecutive years from 2001 to 2004. Since then, he has succeeded in advancing to fall baseball for five consecutive years until 2012 with Jerry Royster's no-peer baseball and Yang Seung-ho's two bullpens in 2008. In 2011, it rose to second place in the regular season, but from 2013 to 2016, it failed to advance to the fall baseball for four consecutive years, and the dark days seemed to be coming again.
Then, in 2017, he went straight to the semi-playoff as the third place in the regular season, ending the brutal history of losing consecutive fall baseball games. However, since 2018, Lotte has returned to its original position, which is at the bottom, but has failed to advance to fall baseball for six consecutive years until this year.
