"Thank you so much to Ulsan City."

Lee Ho-joon, manager of the NC Dinos, who is competing in the 3 home series for the first time in a long time, looked bright.

NC made Ulsan Munsu Stadium its new home from the 16th. The first opponent of the weekend series is the Kiwoom Heroes.




However, the first home game in 47 days after the unfortunate crash of the structure at Changwon NC Park on March 29 was postponed by one day. As all five professional baseball games were postponed due to rain on the day, a total of 10 games will be held as double headers the next day.

It is not Changwon, the original home stadium, but through consultation with Ulsan City, it can be played in the form of a home game. The home team's experience, which was unfamiliar from early work to home uniforms, indoor practice ranges, and horse attacks, has been revived. Unlike the past time when the expedition was repeated, the distance traveled is also greatly reduced.

The team directly airlifted and hung their home uniforms one by one on the locker for the team tired of repeated away trips. Coach Lee Ho-joon laughed, saying, `You've done a very good job with the locker in the supervisor's office,' and added, `The white uniform feels unfamiliar.'




"That's how long we've been on the road, and don't think about when we're going back home so that we don't torture hope, that's what the club does, and we just said let's play baseball. You keep saying you can't go, so do you have to go on an expedition again?' The sound came out, and the team was disappointed."

Director Lee Ho-joon said, `Have you packed 15 days' worth of luggage. It's my job to go to a laundromat. I feel like I'm back home from spring camp 2nd camp. Now I can practice according to my routine. "It's been a while since Ulsan, but unlike before, the (artificial) grass was soft and good. The mountain behind the ballpark is also very nice, he added.

"Lotte's second pitch, so I thought it would be okay, but he really helped me a lot. I heard that the club also keeps its loyalty to Ulsan City. That's right. We must do what we can. We can't answer this gratitude with betrayal, right. However, it is heartbreaking to think of the merchants around NC Park. I believe the club will work it out smoothly.'




Realistically, there is not enough space to practice. Of the nine home stadiums used by 10 clubs, only Incheon SSG Landers Field and Gocheok Dome have indoor practice ranges for away teams.

Coach Lee Ho-joon said, `Even if I try to train him at night, if I walk around with the bat in the hotel, I will come to the complaint. I corrected my swing in the coaches' rooms. I told you to be careful about the carpet hole."

On this day, NC eliminated foreign hitter Matt Davidson from the first team. This is due to a hamstring injury suffered in the first game of the doubleheader against the Doosan Bears.

In the first game of a doubleheader between NC and Doosan at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 11th, NC Davidson, with one out and second base, hit an RBI timely hit and ran to the first base in the top of the fourth inning, and is replaced with leg pain.

Coach Lee Ho-joon said, "It was not easy to play two bases even in the match against SSG. There are many players with poor leg conditions, such as Son Ah-seop, Park Min-woo, and Park Gun-woo, and I watched it once, but it didn't improve, so I let them rest for now. Instead, Han Jae-hwan came up", he explained.

Then "The pitching staff are all good these days. Shin Min-hyuk throws well, and Mok Ji-hoon and Choi Sung-young are fine. Shin Minhyuk is looking at the time to take a break," he stressed. As for rookie Kim Tae-hoon, who made his professional debut the previous day, he praised "The ball is very good."
