"It was decided before hitting (Hong) Changgi, and I knew it myself."

LG Twins' Hong Chang-ki's knee injury has become a sigh of relief. However, as Kim Min-soo, who collided with Hong Chang-ki, went back down to the second division one day after the first-team call-up, there was a suspicion that it might be because of the collision with Hong Chang-ki.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop prevented misunderstanding by saying that Kim Min-soo's second-tier trip had already been decided during the game and that he had notified Kim Min-soo as well.




Hong Chang-ki and Kim Min-soo collided during defense in the top of the ninth inning of a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes in Jamsil on the 13th. After failing to catch pinch hitter Park Joo-hong's foul ball during the crisis with the bases loaded with two outs, Kim Min-soo fell and collided with Hong Chang-ki's left leg.

At this time, a shock was applied to Hong Chang-ki's left knee, and Hong Chang-ki quickly got into the ambulance and was transferred to a nearby hospital for examination.

Fortunately, the results of the examination at four hospitals were not big enough to be out of the season. LG said in the afternoon of the 14th that Hong Chang-ki was diagnosed at four hospitals and was diagnosed with a microfracture of the tibia joint on the outer side of his left knee. It is said that it is a part that does not undergo surgery"But due to swelling inside the joint, we plan to have a re-examination in a week." Even if it is a re-examination a week later, it is a positive part that the ligament was not ruptured immediately.




Coach Yeom also couldn't sleep all night because he was afraid of being out for the season. Thank God there's no first hitter, but let's go with (Park) Hae-min and think about (Moon) Sung-joo and (Shin) Min-jae."

LG called up Kim Joo-sung and Ham Chang-gun when Hong Chang-ki and Kim Min-soo were removed from the first-team entry. The cancellation of Hong Chang-ki, who was unable to play due to injury, is a natural step, but the cancellation of Kim Min-soo, who collided with him, was a mystery. In addition, Kim Min-soo was in the first team the day before. It could be suspected in the aftermath of the collision with Hong Chang-ki.

Coach Yeom shook his head. At first, Yeom said, "(I) decided to change it because there was an overlap with Young-bin." Then he thought he should be honest with him soon. "I decided to send him to the second team with the coaching staff when he was struck out from the batter's box." he said. Kim Min-soo replaced Kim Hyun-soo as a first baseman in the top of the eighth inning, and he entered as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning and struck out after a full count match.

Coach Yeom said, `There is a year difference, but all the coaches judged that the details fell when they saw the third bat in 2B.' Manager Yeom explained that if the leadoff hitter is in a 2B situation with a 1-point lead of 7-6, he should narrow the strike zone and consider getting on base, but he thought only aggressively, so the bat went out on the ball that came high for the third pitch and hit a foul. Coach Yeom said that if he hadn't hit the ball, he could have made a favorable ball count with 3B and walked out.

Yeom told Min-su " (Kim) about it after coming back to the dugout."When he defended in the ninth inning, Kim Min-soo also knew he was going to the second division.

Meanwhile, LG's pitcher Kim Kang-ryul was also eliminated from the first team. Manager Yeom said "I sent him down to the second team to get better because he said his shoulder wasn't good" he explained. He called up catcher Kim Sung-woo in place of Kim Kang-ryul. Manager Yeom explained, `So far, bullpen pitchers have not been overloaded, so it's okay for the time being.' `Even if Park Dong-won's physical strength needs to be supplemented, he needs a catcher in the background, so he raised one more catcher.'

LG's finisher Jang Hyun-sik was taken out the day before due to fine damage to his back muscles The bullpen is in a difficult situation as it goes down to Kim Kang-ryul. Manager Yeom said, `Originally, I was going to put the prepared pitchers such as Kim Young-woo, Bae Jae-joon, and Baek Seung-hyun into the must-win group. "I came to use it naturally" "There is no team without injuries during the season. If there is no injury, it will be on the table. You have to hang in there."
