Suddenly, two days of rest came.

The LG Twins, who won seven consecutive games, the most consecutive opening wins in the club's history, with a 14-4 victory over the NC Dinos on the 29th, immediately heard that the next game was canceled after the game. It was because safety measures were needed because of the accident at Changwon NC Park.

On the news of the sudden cancellation of the game, LG stayed for one day and returned to Seoul on the afternoon of the 30th.

It was given two days of rest that were not scheduled. If the game was played on the 30th as scheduled, LG Elijah Hernandez and NC Shin Min-hyuk were scheduled to face off as starters.

LG, which has won seven consecutive games in the opening period, is bound to be cautious as a sudden cancellation may break the trend that can continue the winning streak.

In particular, it may be regrettable because the hit, which was seen falling in the three consecutive games against Hanwha, was reviving with NC.

Still, rest is good for players. In particular, the decision to cancel the game the day before, rather than being canceled due to rain, can be seen positively in that it gives the players enough rest for two days. It is possible to reduce fatigue so far because there may be a part where the players have been running hard while winning the opening seven consecutive games.

It is also good news for the starters who made LG's seven consecutive wins. The postponement of pitchers' appearance by one day due to the cancellation of one game can be of great help in replenishing their physical strength.

Since eight other teams other than NC played on the 30th, it is also a small good thing for LG that the order of LG starters and opposing starters has been delayed as starting pitchers return to normal.

In the game against KT Wiz on the 1st, LG's third starter Hernandez will take the mound and KT's Cho Hyung-joon will take the mound. On the 2nd, Lim Chan-kyu, the main character of LG's shutout victory, will take the mound, and Oh Won-seok, the fifth starter, will take the mound for KT.

Of course, if this order is followed, Song Seung-ki, the fifth starter on the 3rd, will be in an unfavorable situation to face KT's first starter, Emmanuel de Heysus. However, in such a mismatch, Song Seung-ki can throw the ball more comfortably, so you can expect an interesting starting fight.

Whether taking two days off will have a positive effect or a negative result will not be known until the actual game is played. LG's unexpected two-day break that could be an opportunity or a crisis. It could be an important inflection point in the early race.
