"Because I made an unexpected pitch...."

In the LG Twins, the NC Dinos in the last two games and the starting pitcher in two games went down the mound early. On the 17th, Eliaser Hernandez's fastball thrown to Park Gun-woo hit the head at the first base of the runner in the top of the second inning and was sent off. In the end, Kim Young-woo (2 innings), Jang Hyun-sik (1 inning), Jung Woo-young (1 inning), Kim Jin-sung (1 inning), Lim Joon-hyung (1 inning), Park Myung-geun (⅓ innings), and Sung Dong-hyun (1 ⅔ inning) took the mound in turn. As it was 2-3 points apart until the fifth inning, the bullpen had to fight all-out.

On the 18th, Yoni Chirinos gave up six runs in four ⅔ innings and collapsed. The batter led 8-6 as he drove in four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Again, it was inevitable to take the mound in the must-win group. Jang Hyun-sik (⅔ innings), Kim Jin-sung (⅔ innings), Lee Jung-yong (1 inning), Lee Ji-gang (1 inning), and Yoo Young-chan (1 inning) took the mound.

a fierce game for two days. It was painful for LG. LG announced Choi Chae-heung as its starting pitcher on the 19th. Lim Chan-kyu took a break and went out as a substitute starter. Choi Chae-heung will wear the LG uniform as a compensation player for FA Choi Won-tae ahead of this season. Last year, Choi Won-tae, a member of LG, signed a four-year contract with Samsung for a total of 7 billion won, and LG nominated Choi Chae-heung as a compensation player.

This season, Choi Chae-heung recorded a 9.39 ERA with one hold in four games. On the 7th of last month, Doosan allowed one run in four innings as its only start, and all three games since then have been bullpen appearances. In particular, on May 17, his last appearance, he was shaken by six runs in two ⅓ innings and reorganized in the Futures League.

Manager Yeom conceived 'bulpenday', but the previous two games consumed a lot of bullpen, which deepened his worries about the pitcher's management.




Ahead of the game on the 19th, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said "Foreign players made a bullpen day for two days. I was going to do a bullpen day today, but it became difficult because the first and second starters made it." Coach Yeom continued, "(Lee) Jung-yong, (Kim) Jin-sung, and (Jang) Hyun-sik are resting." Yoo Young-chan's break was also in mind, but he will go out in case of a save situation.

He still applauded for the difficult part of the game due to errors the previous day. Manager Yeom said, `Baseball always does that. Still, the most important point is to work really hard. It's a pity that the players try to work hard in their positions, but it's not working."The team that has good mental control and moves on produced the result at the end. In various situations, our players are holding up well" he said.

Meanwhile, Hernandez, who left the mound after one inning on the 17th, scheduled a starting pitcher on the 20th. However, there is a rain forecast on the 20th. Director Yeom said, `I'm going to look at the situation first. In the event of cancellation due to rain, the overall selection order will be rearranged. (Son) I can give Joo-young more time to rest.




On the 19th, LG made the starting lineup in the order of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Austin Dean (1st baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Lee Joo-hyun (catcher), Lee Young-bin (third baseman), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder).

In addition, rookie pitcher Kim Jong-woon was called up to the first team, and infielder Kim Joo-sung was excluded from the entry.
