Though the score was blown out, the players had shown them an entertaining enough match with some big home runs.
Dam who was on the field getting ready to bat next, threw his helmet onto the ground in frustration. Not only had he failed to make an impression in this match, he felt stifled.
Every time that he tried to trash talk the runners for Japan, they would burst out into laughter. He had put quite a bit of research into insulting things to say before the match.
Usually when he trashed talked in Korea, he could get under everyone's skin. Yet for some reason, his words did nothing.
Coach Hyun and Coach Takashi shook hands briefly, saying a few courteous words in English that neither of them fully understood.
"Good job."
"Good luck."
Afterwards, both teams bowed at each other and left the field.
