It's on the rise, but I can't help but pay attention to the opponent's momentum. The rain was welcome to the head coach.

Hanwha Eagles and Lotte Giants were scheduled to face off at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 22nd. It rained a lot from this morning, and the decision to cancel at 4 p.m. was eventually made.

They were the two teams that drew attention as the best showdown at the beginning of the season. Lotte has won eight games and lost two games in the last 10 games, while Hanwha has won seven consecutive games, recording nine wins and one loss in 10 games.




Lotte ranked second with a team batting average of 321 in the last 10 games. Hanwha ranked first with a batting average of .330.

The mound fight is also expected to be fierce. Lotte ranked fourth with a team ERA of 3.98, while its bullpen ERA was 2.89.

During the same period, Hanwha ranked first with a team ERA of 2.09, second with a starting ERA of 2.33, and first with a bullpen ERA of 1.61.

Rain blocked the first game amid a good atmosphere at the beginning of the season. Both teams' head coaches smiled rather than disappointed.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `It's okay to take a break at this timing. I think it would be nice for us and Hanwha to take a break" he said. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon had a similar idea. Coach Kim said, `We don't have to fight Lotte at this timing. There's a long way to go," he said, welcoming rain in his heart.

While the game was canceled due to rain, the two teams put the starting pitcher, which was announced on the 22nd, as the starting pitcher on the 23rd.

Lotte is Charlie Barnes. Ryan Weiss will take the mound for Hanwha. Barnes is 2-3 with a 5.40 ERA in five games this season. In the recent game against Kiwoom, he struck out 11 in seven innings and left the mound with two runs.

He also has good memories against Hanwha. His overall performance against Hanwha showed a strong performance with 7 wins and 2 losses with a 2.41 ERA in 11 games.

Hanwha Weiss is 2-1 with a 4.91 ERA in five games this season. He has become a winning pitcher with quality starts (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) in the last two consecutive games. However, Lotte's opponent was burdensome. He took the mound three times against Lotte last year, with a 1-1 record and a 7.20 ERA.
