Two home runs and four RBI from (who else?) Do-young Kim. James Naile struck out seven over six innings and Harold Castro added a home run and two hits. Kia takes game one of the “Semi-Playoff”, 5-1.

Final KBO standings: Jamsil will get at least one Doosan v. LG playoff game. An appropriate send-off. Kia makes it back to the playoffs after one season away. KT is in the driver's seat for their second Korean Series title. Postseason starts Wednesday.

Been Gwak finishes with the highest K/9 (11.01) by a Korean pitcher in KBO history. The record was held since 1989 by the great Dong-yol Sun (10.54). A historically excellent season by Gwak.

Victor Reyes also got to 200 today, becoming the first player ever to reach the mark twice. Reyes owns the record with 202, but both he and Choi could pass that this year.

Crazy three-game sweep by Kia over LG. They came back late in every game and are now a game up in the standings. Home run number 42 for Do-yeong in the 9th today.

Do-yeong Kim’s 41st of the year breaks Kia franchise record for most homers in a season. Kia, formerly Haitai, is one of the KBO’s Original Six.

Do-yeong Kim delivered the go-ahead hit to help Korea win the Gold Medal at the Asian Games. It’s one of the biggest hits of Kim’s life, as the medal now releases his military service obligation and puts him on track for MLB posting in either 2028 or 2029.

Sung-bum Na led the way in Kia’s critical win over LG today. Three hits, including his 29th homer of the season. Na has had a resurgent season after struggling with injuries last year.

It’s taken most of the season, but Woo-jin An has looked like his old, dominant self in his past few starts. 7 Ks and 0 ER over 6 IP against a strong KT offense today.

I think the first season of The Girlfriend Experience is arguably the best TV I’ve ever seen, but the series dips from there, so no space. This was harder than I expected.

Pretty chalk - though not bad - list. But The Girlfriend Experience is a big miss, The Knick is a huge miss, and The Underground Railroad is an incomprehensible, indefensible, and shocking miss. It almost seems like a mistake.

Hyun-jin Ryu still has the capacity to dominate and it remains a joy to watch. Nine Ks on 83 pitches today against the best team in the KBO.

I didn’t watch Ryu live but I imagine he felt something like this in the late-00s. Woo-jin An is great, and was even better in 2023, but he took longer to develop and still was never as consistent as Choi.

I’ve never seen a more consistent young Korean starter than Min-seok Choi. With another five tough innings in a much-needed Doosan win today, he once again looked like an ace, and maybe the best Korean starter in the world, and he’s only 20.

Spectacular game between NC and Doosan today. A few weeks ago, it seemed Doosan would threaten a top three spot but with today’s win, NC is only two games away from knocking them out of the playoffs. Whee-jip Kim (of the great KBO names club), had three hits and five RBIs for the Dinos.

Austin Dean hit homers 37 and 38 today. Somehow he’s only 54 away from the most all time for a foreign hitter. Given how much love Dean gets from LG, he has a good shot at sticking around. Wonderful story of a player finding a second life in the KBO. One of the 5-10 best foreign players ever.

#40 for Do-yeong. He missed becoming the youngest in KBO history by just four days (Seung-yuop Lee in 1999 still holds that record), but he’s the first Korean player to hit 40 homers since Yoo-seom Han in 2018, and the first Korean player ever to reach 40 for the Tigers.

I missed this yesterday. Hyun-soo Kim’s walk-off hit moved him into second on the KBO all-time hit list, passing Ah-seop Son. Kim’s 2,654 trails Hyoung-woo Choi’s 2,713 for first.
