The energy of the universe is flowing into the LG Twins. Chaser KT Wiz has a hole in their starting rotation, and as it happens, they are planning to use temporary starters for the next two games against LG.
KT coach Lee Kang-cheol sighed about this week’s starting rotation ahead of the game against Samsung at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 19th.
On the 17th, a double header was played after the longest rainout stoppage in history (204 minutes), and coach Lee, who came from Daejeon after playing the game on Monday on the 18th, repeatedly said, “I’m tired, I’m tired.” KT is in a hellish 9-game series until this weekend. KT is
having a hard time managing the starting lineup due to So Hyun-jun’s season out (elbow surgery) and Eom Sang-baek’s injury (ribs). As replacement starters are sluggish, it’s a worry at the end of the season. Right now, against LG on the 20th or against Lotte on the 21st
. A temporary starter is needed before the match. When asked about the starter for the LG game on the 20th, Manager Lee weakly said, “It’s Ha Jun-ho.” Left-hander Ha Jun-ho is expected to be the first pitcher and will be played on a bullpen day. If Ha Jun-ho goes out for the LG game, on the 21st. He is excluded from the selection against Lotte.
Coach Lee then said, “A temporary selection is needed for next week’s LG game (26th) as well. I decided to just give them two games against LG,” adding, “LG has continued to see rain. It rained here last time. “It was stopped (waiting for 104 minutes) and there was no no game, we won against Hanwha in a cold game due to heavy rain, and the day before yesterday when Kim Gwang-hyun was selected, we won because it was stopped due to rain,” he said.
In the Suwon KT game on the 5th, LG was ahead 4-2 in the top of the 4th inning due to heavy rain and the game was stopped due to rain, but it was not declared a no game and waited for the rain to stop. After being suspended for 104 minutes, the game resumed and LG won. On the 15th, the game against Hanwha in Daejeon was stopped due to rain before the top of the 7th inning with a 4-3 lead, and the team achieved a rain-cold victory.
In the first game of a doubleheader against SSG on the 17th, the game was stopped due to rain at first base with no outs in the bottom of the 6th inning, trailing 2-3, and resumed after waiting 70 minutes. Gwang-Hyun Kim was unable to throw any more and was replaced, so he attacked the SSG bullpen and achieved a come-from-behind victory. (LG had an 8-0 lead in the Gwangju KIA game in early August, but heavy rain fell in the second inning, resulting in a no game, but the rain was on LG’s side in the last three games.) Meanwhile, KT’s Kim Min, who had the opportunity to be a replacement starter, continued to perform poorly and was eliminated from the starting lineup
. did. Min Kim recorded 6 runs in 3 innings, 5 runs in 3 innings, and 4 runs (2 earned) in 3 innings in 3 starting opportunities. Kim Min lost the lead by conceding an early goal in the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 18th. Coach Lee expressed regret that he could no longer give Kim Min a chance to be selected.먹튀검증
Second-place KT is 6.5 games behind leader LG. They are one game ahead of 3rd place NC, so protecting 2nd place is a more priority than chasing 1st place.
KT’s rotation is to use 1st to 3rd starters Cuevas, Benjamin, and Ko Young-pyo for the three-game series against KIA on the weekend. We are also in a situation where we have no choice but to strategically use temporary starters against LG.
