After Lotte lost the championship last year (2023), they faced a series of strength adjustments in the offseason, including the release of three consecutive champions Guo Yanwen and Chen Yuxun. It was originally thought that Lotte would welcome the new one. season with a new look, but it turned out that the successive lawsuits against the former team leader for breach of trust, the delay of the Lotte Taoyuan baseball stadium for the start of the season and the inappropriate use of words in an online interaction with baseball YouTuber “Tainan Josh” greatly affected the team’s morale and image.
Lotte aggressively renovated Taoyuan Baseball Stadium before the season, hoping to provide fans with a more comfortable experience, especially the drainage issue that has been problematic all year. Lotte and the Taoyuan City government “turned over” the stadium floor during the season. off-season, hoping to effectively improve the drainage function and avoid the “super overwhelming” phenomenon again.

Unfortunately, the project was affected by weather conditions, so the Taoyuan Baseball Stadium was unable to catch up during the season opening. He was only able to use Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium and Taipei Arena as “temporary grounds”. “return home” at the start of the season and was unable to use the Taoyuan Baseball Stadium to accommodate Lotte fans. To put it simply, there is only one thing missing.
During the offseason, the former team leader had a legal dispute with the team due to breach of trust, which made people quite stunned. Popular cheerleaders Lin Xiang and Li Dahui transferred to the team, which also disappointed some fans.

Some time ago, the team’s editor-in-chief wanted to make a joke and published an article asking fans to participate in the launch event. When baseball YouTuber “Tainan Josh” left a message wanting to participate in the event, the team editor declared “Josh banned.” and edited “Josh “Forbidden” was included in the edited article, which also allowed “Tainan Josh” to post a video to express his uncomfortable feelings.
Although Lotte Football Club later apologized, “this fire” has been burning for too long, making this incident the focus of discussion among many fans, and also causing a deduction of points for the team’s image. The team editor did not realize that posts on the team’s official community represent the team’s position. Although this is social software, it is a very formal announcement and should be used with more caution when used as a joke.
Rather, Fubon Titans took advantage of this wave to gain traffic and goodwill and establish positive marketing. On the other hand, Lotte’s marketing and crisis management abilities are inferior to those of Fubon, which will also affect fans’ perception of Lotte Football Team.
As of April 23, Taiwan time, Rakuten had recorded a record of 7 wins and 10 losses, with a winning percentage of 0.412, 7 games behind the leader Uni-President Lions. However, this is not Rakuten’s problem. ‘ opening season record this year (2024) “Too great”, with a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, “like playing video games”, so that the other five teams can’t even see the rear lights.

Rakuten’s pitching staff performed as usual this season, ranking in the bottom half of the league. The team’s pitching ERA was 4.66 and WHIP was 1.61, both at the bottom of the league. Additionally, the “Violent Ape Line” is not as powerful. as in the past, and the team’s offensive metrics were .253/.313/.358 and 8 home runs, both in the middle of the league. This also renders the past method of “hitting cover pitchers” to maintain the record. ineffective this season.
During the offseason, Chen Junxiu used FA to transfer to CITIC Brothers. Chen Yuxun and Guo Yanwen switched to the Dragons due to their lack of combat ability. His agent Guo Yongwei joined the Taiwan Steel Eagles. In the Ziwei case, Wang Yizheng, Lan Yinlun and Wang Bairong also changed to play for the Taiwan Steel Eagles.

Even Hong Yizhong, Lamigo’s head coach during its three consecutive championships, was also at Taipei Steel. Fans who supported Lamigo until Lotte felt a little emotionally disappointed, even though these former main players of the three consecutive championships were still active. the court, they no longer knew them.
After Lotte took over Lamigo, she has yet to win the championship. The team is second in a row, and many stars who have won three consecutive championships have left the team. In particular, the famous ball star Wang Borong joined. Taipei Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. due to the trade deal, which disappointed many fans. No matter how well Japan plays, it is always the pride of Momomon fans. Rakuten, which disappointed many Momo fans.

Although the Lotte team carefully prepares the theme days, the quality/price ratio is not as good as that of Lamigo. There is no sense of “value for money”, which is one of the reasons why fans gradually feel disappointed. Even though Lamigo was not a big team, it was very dedicated to “Innovative” activities are organized in the hope of giving fans the feeling of a big family. Now this feeling is gradually disappearing. Fans are very concerned about how Lotte can shake off the early season disruptions and regain the fans’ trust in the team.
