Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea lost to Australia 7-8 in its opening game of the Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) in Tokyo on Thursday, Nov. 12. Korea rallied from a 4-0 deficit to take a 6-4 lead, but then gave up four runs and ultimately lost on a walk-off hit in the ninth inning, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The Chosun Ilbo reports the team, led by manager Choi Won-ho, now must beat both Japan and Taiwan to reach the final, and notes the loss came against Australia, which has only four pro teams, while Korea has ten. Korean media describe the defeat as a "shocking" and "bitter" reversal, citing an unstable mound and a silent core lineup as the main problems.
