Chirinos, you won eight games last year, but you still won seven. 1.67→4.50→5.20 ERA also worsened. Foreigners' one-two punches can't be a problem.

Chirinos is 7-4 with a 3.49 ERA in 17 games. It doesn't look too bad, but I haven't had a good recent performance.
Chirinos, who had a good record of 4-1 with a 1.67 ERA in seven games through April, deteriorated sharply to 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in five games in May. And in June, it got worse with one win and two losses and a 5.20 ERA in five games.
It confirms that the monthly hit rate is deteriorating. The hit rate was 190 percent until April, but it was 275 percent in May and 316 percent in June.
Initially, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop tried to give Chirinos a break by excluding him from the starting lineup once at the end of May. He has never pitched in 150 innings in the U.S. and has been injured, so he decided that physical arrangements should be provided. But rather, Chirinos "It's worse if you rest for a long time."," he said, refusing to do so. He tried to give him a few more days of rest, but changed to the mound after a six-day break, and then took the mound steadily in June, but his performance fell.
In the end, I can't help but think that getting a little more rest at the end of May might have helped.
Since throwing seven innings against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 6th, it has not reached six innings in four consecutive games. In the match against NC in Jamsil on the 18th, he came down in four ⅔ innings and failed in five innings for the first time.
It tends to show good performance in the beginning and suddenly collapse after the middle. In June, the hit rate was 246 in the 1st to 3rd innings, but the 4th to 6th innings soared to 393. It can be seen that the physical strength drops early, and it can be seen that the ball gets used to the batters after the batting order turns once.
In the match against KIA in Jamsil on the 29th, he blocked two hits and no runs until the fifth inning, but Gap-ja was replaced after being beaten with five hits in the top of the sixth inning. He lost five ⅓ innings with seven hits, five strikeouts, and five runs.
Detrick Ens, who failed to renew his contract despite winning 13 games last year, had an 8-2 record with a 4.53 ERA in 17 games. Chirinos is better for the ERA, but it can be said that Ence was better for Seung-woon.

LG is also not excited as it is sluggish at a time when foreigners' one-two punches are competing for the top spot. In June, he ranked eighth overall with nine wins, one draw and 12 losses.
It is second by one game behind the first-place Hanwha Eagles, but is trailing third-place Lotte by one game, and has narrowed to 2.5 games behind fourth-place KIA.
LG's bullpen has become thicker as players who have been injured and mired in military affairs, such as Lee Jung-yong, Jang Hyun-sik, and Ham Deok-joo, returned to the closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan. However, there is a scene where the expected starters are sluggish, the bullpen also doesn't pitch well, and the batters don't explode when they need to, and they give up a game to win.
If you look at LG's performance after the 18th when Lee Jung-yong, who is expected to complete the bullpen to some extent, came to the first team after being discharged from the military
It stayed at four wins and five losses. Manager Yeom said he would have a more aggressive ranking fight until the first half as the bullpen became thicker, but the game has not been solved as he thought. The selection, which is the start of the game, is often bad. In nine games, there were only two games in which the starter made a quality start. He was ninth with a 5.77 ERA.
It's going into July now. The heat begins in earnest. There are nine games left before the All-Star break. In the end, the starter is expected to decide what kind of performance LG will make in the remaining first half.
