Lee Ho-sung is anxious, but Oh Seung-hwan is returning.

The Samsung Lions came to life after dying in a game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 20th.

The shock of the three-game sweep of the Lotte Giants last weekend. We had to create an atmosphere of reversal through the game against Kiwoom at the bottom.




I really barely won. Samsung was likely to lose four consecutive games if it failed to deal with Won Tae-in Cardin with a double play in the bottom of the eighth inning with one out and a full base chance at 1-1.

In the top of the ninth inning, Kim Young-woong hit a dramatic home run to run 2-1. But there was another problem. It was in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Samsung posted a new finish, Lee Ho-sung. It was finished in place of Kim Jae-yoon, who was suffering from extreme sluggishness, and recorded his first save in his career against KT Wiz on the 13th. I was anxious, allowing one run. But at that time, it was my first save opportunity, so I was going to do that.




Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Lotte Giants on the 17th. When he was not in a save situation, he took the mound and perfectly blocked one inning. And the second save chance against Kiwoom.

He was shaken. He got a hit by leadoff Lee Hyung-jong and even allowed Lim to double. A walk to Kim Tae-jin. a full-base crisis with no outs. It was fortunate among the misfortunes to catch Jun-seo, who was a pinch hitter, with a straight hit to the first base. Blon save, allowing Kim Gun-hee a tiebreaking sacrifice fly. Still, it was fortunate that he didn't even allow a finishing victory. In addition, the team won the overtime game, so it could have been said that was enough.

However, Samsung is a team that advanced to the Korean Series last year. It's a team that has to look higher. You have to have a stronger finish than any other team in order to fight for the top spot. But it is true that Ho-Sung Lee is anxious.




I had a good ball. The maximum speed of his fastball on the day was 151 kilometers. He has strength. However, it is not enough to overwhelm the opponent. Kim Gun-hee persistently cut the cut and eventually hit a sacrifice fly. There should also be a breaking ball. It's a two-pitch fast slider, but the slider is too flat. There is no bell that falls into the bell, so we have no choice but to struggle.

First of all, I was suddenly in charge of finishing the season, and I was given a position that was too important in a situation where my mind was anxious, such as the team falling into a long losing streak. Psychological pressure is also inevitably high. Fortunately, two save opportunities, the team won, but if a fatal hit hits in an important game, Samsung and the player could be hurt greatly.

In the meantime, "Leader of the End" Oh Seung-hwan returns. Oh Seung-hwan, who left the game due to an injury to his right adductor muscle, is improving his sense of practice through the Futures game after recovery. Although he has a 22.50 ERA in four games, Futures' performance is not an important player. Manager Park Jin-man said, `Oh Seung-hwan is in the stage of raising his sense of play and the number of pitches he throws. We have to look at our bullpen situation, and it could come up as early as this weekend." After the three consecutive Kiwoom games, Samsung will play three consecutive weekend games against the KIA Tigers.

Everyone knows that Oh Seung-hwan, who is well over 40 years old, can no longer shoot his opponent with ball power. But his weapon is experience. If Lee Ho-sung shakes, any coach will have to think about Oh Seung-hwan's card. Because there is no other alternative.
