"Survivor" Ruben Cardinez (Kium Heroes) was silent in a game that needed to show his presence.먹튀검증
In the home game against the Samsung Lions in the 2025 KBO League regular season held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th, Cardinez started as the third batter and first baseman, but only had one hit in five times at bat. The game continued throughout the regular innings, but he failed to do his part as the central hitter. Some defense players also provided an excuse for losing points.
In the bottom of the first inning, when Samsung's starting pitcher and ace Won Tae-in was shaken up when he gave up a hit to leadoff hitter Song Sung-moon and a walk to subsequent Lee Ju-hyung, Cardinez went to bat, but he grounded out to third. He couldn't even hit a bases-loaded walk.
After hitting a fly ball to right field and ground ball to shortstop in the fourth and sixth innings, respectively, he took the batter's box for the fourth time in the bottom of the eighth inning, when the score was tied 1-1, when Won Tae-in, who continued to keep the mound, was loaded with one out with consecutive hits and four pitches, but hit a ground ball to shortstop on the fourth pitch. The Samsung infielders made a double play (striker) 6-4 (second baseman)-3 (first baseman). Won roared, and the Samsung dugout cheered.
Kiwoom, which failed to take advantage of the opportunity to score, actually gave up the lead 1-2 after closer Joo Seung-woo hit a solo home run by Kim Young-woong in the defense at the top of the ninth inning. In the ensuing attack, the batters opened the bases with no outs and no outs as Lee Hyung-jong and Lim Byung-wook hit consecutive hits and Kim Tae-jin walked, but Kim Dong-heon's sacrifice fly only tied the score, and eventually lost 3-6 by giving up four points to Samsung's batters in the top of the 11th inning.
At his fifth at bat in the bottom of the 10th inning, with runners on with two outs, he doubled to open a scoring opportunity. He could not make up for his failure at the 1st and 8th innings. Even Cardinez had a direct impact on his loss by missing a base hit by Lewin Diaz at the top of the 6th inning with runners on the 1st and 2nd bases with two outs. His batting speed was relatively fast, but he should have caught it because he was in the front.
Kiwoom, which formed a foreign player with two batters and one pitcher ahead of this season, announced the recruitment of Raul Alcantara as a "pitcher" on the 19th, ending the "two-man foreign and batting" system. In the process, Yasiel Puig was released and he decided to accompany Kadinez.
Instead of Puig, who signed an annual contract of $1 million, the club chose Cardinez, who signed for $450,000. Even with losses, he decided to accompany a batter who could be more helpful to his team. Puig was a symbolic foreign hitter as the lead leading player in Kiwoom to the Korean Series in the 2022 season, but he made a sobering decision to escape from the bottom.
The first game that he played to renew his team's commitment was the match against Samsung Electronics on Tuesday. Cardinnes did not live up to his expectations. Before the game, Coach Hong expressed concern over the fact that the team's physical impact, which had been hot before going on maternity leave, had significantly cooled down since then.
Kiwoom, who broke up with foreign hitters following Edison Russell in the 2023 season and Ronnie Dawson in the 2024 season, is drawing attention to whether he will be able to leave a good memory with Cardinez.
