Samsung has been in a slump with one win and nine losses this month, including eight consecutive losses. Although it is barely in fifth place, the gap between the first place and the difference between the two games earlier this month widened to eight games.

It maintains 5th place without a ride with KT and SSG, which are tied for 6th place immediately below.




Overall, he is rarely able to secure victory amid the imbalance of pitching and hitting. The Daegu doubleheader against LG on the 10th was swept three consecutive games, avoiding all of them even after putting in Reyes one-two punch.

The change of coaching staff position is to evoke the atmosphere in the face of a desperate crisis.

It is to revive the stagnant team atmosphere and provide an opportunity for a rebound. Another step behind here could put you in jeopardy. By overcoming the middle-ranked battle of chaos and maintaining a stable top-ranked ranking until the end of May, the goal of winning the championship will be possible.




With desperation that it should not be delayed any longer. Will it be a turning point when it hits the floor and rises. Starting on the 13th, Samsung will play three consecutive games during the week against sixth-ranked KT Wiz without a ride in Pohang. The starter is left-hander Lee Seung-hyun and KT is left-hander Heyesus.
