There needs to be a change. It made a real difference.
He strengthened his hard bullpen amid nine consecutive games. Right-hander Song Eun-beom and left-hander Lee Sang-min were called up. In the first inning of temporary starter Jung Min-sung the previous day, right-handers Lee Seung-hyun and Yuk Sun-yeop, who threw a lot with early steel plates, were eliminated and given rest.
Prior to the Hanwha match held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 5th, Samsung manager Park Jin-man "During this nine consecutive games, all bullpen pitchers pitched hard and the number of pitches was a little high, so we replaced about two players." The replaced players had no choice but to compete because the number of pitches they couldn't throw for two days", he explained.

He also changed his backup catcher. He called up Kim Jae-sung and dropped Lee Byung-hun.
Coach Park said "Lee Byung-hun's recent performance with the starting pitcher was bad, so I thought I should make a change."." As for Kim Jae-sung who called up "He is a player who has been playing games consistently in the Futures League, so he only checked his healthy physical condition.", he explained.
Samsung has been playing nine consecutive games since the 29th. The results of the seven consecutive games against SSG → Doosan → Hanwha, which went home away →, are not very good with 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. The ranking also fell from second place to fourth place. Now, I'm more concerned about the bottom than the top. It is only half a game away from KT Wiz, which is ranked fifth.

Key fielders such as Kim Ji-chan, Kim Heon-gon, and Kim Young-woong have been injured, so they have not been able to show 100% of their firepower. Ryu Ji-hyuk is also forced to run despite the pain in his shoulder. Lee Sung-kyu, who shot a home run in two days after the call-up, is welcome to join the team, but it will take a little more time for the entire lineup.
Coach Park Jin-man said ahead of the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 5th, `Kim Young-woong plans to return unconditionally in 10 days. Kim Ji-chan will have to wait and see. Kim Hun-gon said, "It's hard to predict because I've had back problems before. "May is the most important time with injured players in the field, and I think our players should endure May well in that regard."," he said, urging the existing players to work harder.
Manager Park, who is frustrated in many ways, has sent a message to the tired team through the entry change.
The biggest crisis of the nine consecutive games is the three away games against Hanwha, which is on a roll with seven consecutive wins. Choi Won-tae, Won Tae-in and Lee Seung-hyun are in desperate need of a winning series in three consecutive games, but they lost the first game 1-3 after a close game. It is imperative to turn the series of fighting spirit around in the remaining two games, but it is not an easy mission.
