“We all do stupid things and regret them.”

Not a day goes by that Kim Ha-seong (San Diego Padres) doesn’t talk about his angry water cooler kick. In the bottom of the seventh inning of a 3-3 tie at home against the New York Mets on 8 August (ET), Kim pulled a sinker from Mets reliever Brooks Railly and lined it deep to left field. At first, the double was safe.

But Mets left fielder Tommy Pham didn’t react quickly enough. In some ways, Pham tricked Kim into overthrowing, but Kim had a good shot at third base. As Kim ran to third base as expected, Pham threw accurately to third baseman Luis Guillome.

Kim made an exquisite slide to third base, avoiding Guillome’s tag, but Guillome made a gesture to push Kim’s left foot out of the way. Kim’s head-first slide was strong in the moment, and his body didn’t miss the moment to get past third base, but it could have been seen as an unsportsmanlike conduct in some cases.Kim acknowledged his mistake to local media, but made it clear that Kiyome was trying to push him out of the way when he tagged him. That upset him, so he made a furious motion when the third base umpire ruled him out. In frustration, he kicked the dugout water cooler with his right foot and was removed from the game. He was removed from the game against the Mets on the 9th. It’s possible he’ll miss the final game of the first half on the 10th.카지노사이트

When manager Bob Melvin heard Kim’s sincerity, he didn’t chastise him. Instead, he embraced his passionate play. MLB.com’s San Diego reporter AJ Casabell was also supportive, tweeting, “Who among us hasn’t been frustrated and done something stupid and immediately regretted it?”

We all make mistakes and do things we regret. Casabell concluded, “Kim is arguably the Padres’ MVP this year. He works as hard as anyone in the game. He screwed up and was honest about it. He vowed it would never happen again.”In 84 games this season, Kim is batting .255 with 69 doubles, 10 home runs, 31 RBIs, 43 runs scored and a .757 OPS. In his last 15 games, he’s batting .273 with five home runs, 10 RBIs and a .961 OPS. The defence is stellar. DRS and OAA lead the National League, and after missing out on the Gold Glove at shortstop last year, he’s looking to make up for it by winning the Gold Glove at second base this year. It’s no wonder Casabell is so proud of him.
