The two teams were scheduled to play the first round of the exhibition game at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th. However, the decision to cancel the game was made early at 11:10 a.m. due to rain in the Busan area from the morning.
It rained, but it was cold because the temperature was below 10 degrees. There was a lot of wind, too. With players having to improve their form ahead of the opening of the regular season, they went too far There was no reason to overdo the game because it would be a big loss if there was an injury. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `The fielders don't have to overdo it. I don't need to run in the cold"He stated that the cancellation was natural.
The two teams had initially agreed to play the game as a night game. However, the schedule, which was changed to a night game on the 10th, was changed again to a game at 1 p.m.
Since then, there has been a rain forecast in Busan. Initially, it was expected that it would rain from the afternoon to the 16th, so if the game time was advanced, it would be possible to play. In the exhibition game, players should raise their condition and check the competition system according to the set schedule rather than winning or losing. In particular, pitchers have to raise the number of pitches, but as there was a setback, they made a precipitation to change the time twice.
However, as the 15th day dawned, it rained from the morning, contrary to the forecast, and an environment was created that had to be canceled. Coach Kim said, `There is a KT second-tier game against our team in Sangdong. There, he explained, "I thought about whether to let the pitchers throw."
If the exhibition game is canceled, there will be no reorganization. In addition, there is a rain forecast in Busan on the 16th, so it is unclear whether the two teams will be able to face off.
