"I'm sorry to Sang-baek Um, but I asked for your understanding. I don't think this is the time for the pitcher rotation to be pushed back."

The first of the three consecutive games was canceled due to the Changwon NC Park accident. The head coach expressed sincere condolences and wrapped his head in adjusting the rotation.

Even if the selection is good, it is a concern. The starting lineup, which will lead to Ponce, TWICE, Ryu Hyun-jin, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-ju, is Hanwha's pride this season.




Moon Dong-ju is the starting pitcher for the Lotte Giants match to be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park on the 2nd. Um Sang-baek, who was scheduled to take the mound the previous day, skipped the rotation once. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon explained, `Um Sang-baek will take the mound in the game (against the Daegu Samsung Lions) on the 6th.'

"Um Sang-baek is also in good condition now, and if he played a lot of games now, it's okay to postpone the rotation by one day to rest, but it's too early in the season. "I thought it would be better for the Sangbaek to fall out and the rest to run normally than for the whole thing to be pushed around."

The management of Moon Dong-ju's pitch count is also key. Moon Dong-ju took the mound in practice from the exhibition game, and is gradually increasing the number of pitches. In the game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 27th of last month, he had one hit and 6K runs in five innings and 61 pitches.




Manager Kim Kyung-moon explained, `Today, I will discuss the timing of replacement with the pitching coach in about 70~80 units.'

In the order of rotation, the game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil next Tuesday will be Moon Dong-joo's next start. Typically, a starter who takes the mound on Tuesday will play twice a week until Sunday after a four-day break.

However, head coach Kim Kyung-moon did not give a definite answer to this. He explained "Looking at the date, I think I need to manage the number of pitches." Ryu Hyun-jin also asks himself and manages the number of pitches.

The starting lineup is solid, but the batting lineup is worrisome. With a batting average of 1699 and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.535, they are both the last among the 10 clubs. The head coach said "I think the pitcher is better than anxious," he said, trying to smile.

"Batters have nowhere to go down from 10%." How frustrating must it be for athletes and coaches. Still, the number of hits and good pitches are increasing. I think it's better than having a hard time."

Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `There were some batters in Lotte who had a good record against Moon Dong-ju, right??My cheeks will be different today from mine. You'll have to wait and see."
