Why did LG use Pil Seung-jo even with a 4-point difference?
The LG Twins won 4 consecutive victories against Incheon SSG on the 28th by turning the game from 1-6 down to 8-6. There was also the achievement of widening the gap with 2nd place SSG to 1.5 games. However, in this process, starting from the 5th inning, I wrote a winning group. Ham Deok-joo came out with a score of 1-5, and Jung Woo-young took the mound with a 2-point difference. Park Myung-keun threw two innings. The only player who threw according to his position was finisher Ko Woo-seok.
Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said on the 29th, “I showed that I did not give up from 1-5. The way I can show (will) to the players is through pitching. The players knew that and did it.”
The original plan was to drop starter Lee Ji-gang (4 runs in 3⅓ innings) and then put in Song Eun-beom to maintain a 1-3 or 2-point inferiority. However, the plan almost faltered when Song Eun-beom gave up an extra point.
Looking back at this time, Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, “It was too early to start a winning group with the second pitcher. I thought about quitting, but when the 8th inning turned around, Park Myung-geun became overworked.” The original plan was Park Myeong-geun in the 7th episode, Kim Jin-seong in the 8th episode, and Go Woo-seok in the 9th episode.
As the game on the 29th was canceled due to rain, the starting rotation order will also change. LG plans to use Casey Kelly, Adam Plutko, and Lim Chan-gyu in three consecutive weekend matches with the KIA, which will be held from the 30th. Lee Jung-yong increases the number of pitches by pitching in the bullpen and prepares for the next appearance. Director Yeom Kyung-yeop explained, “There must be 1 to 3 selections attached.”
– Will the rain cancellation have a good effect?
“It’s not bad. You have to accept the will of the sky. If you do everything in a good mood, the results will be rather bad. Starting tomorrow, all the starters will rest one more day.”
– Will there be any players who can return before the All-Star Game?
“About Yoo Young-chan. I wonder if Yoo Young-chan will come after ten days of rest.”
– The match with SSG was canceled, so it was possible to focus on it later during the Asian Games.
“It’s luck for each other. It’s important who is better prepared. In any team, an important player is missing. It’s the coaching staff’s job to deal with it without problems. In preparation for that time, we prepared Kim Min-sung and Son Ho-young.”
– You replaced Austin Dean as a pinch hitter early on, did you say anything after that?
“I didn’t say anything about it. I thought about taking it off from the beginning. I wrote it to see him adapt (to Park Jong-hoon’s ball), but next time I’m going to take it off. I couldn’t get the timing right at all. That’s natural. difficult.”
– When will Austin’s defense be possible?
“I’ll check again tomorrow. I can leave right away.”
– Shin Min-jae seems to have a strong mentality. Hit the decisive hit behind Jurusa.
“I had such a trauma. I have a trauma about Jurusa. But now our coaching staff continues to encourage me to be okay. Baseball is a sport where you can’t help but make mistakes. You have to reduce them. Mistakes can be covered up with good play. Even if you die, try again.”
“I wanted to instill a positive mindset in the players. The reason we were eliminated from the postseason last year was because we were somehow intimidated and anxious. We wanted to change that. It seems to have improved a lot.”
– LG should get out of the image of being weak in the postseason.
“We keep talking positively. They say that we can do it and that we will do it. They say, ‘It’s time,’ and you and the team say it’s time.먹튀검증
“It’s an atmosphere where the players encourage each other that they can do it even if I don’t say it. It’s reassuring just to see it.”
– Shin Min-jae is challenging the king of robbers.
“There is a possibility. It’s a fight with Kim Hye-seong (Kiwoom), but doesn’t Kim Hye-seong go to the Asian Games?
– Will Lee Ji-gang continue to be the starting pitcher?
“I keep the rotation. I just need to reduce the number of walks.”
