"I don't want to say this..."

Doosan's acting manager Cho Sung-hwan's briefing ahead of the game against Lotte held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 8th.

A sad situation happens almost every day. It's the second leg of tears.

I can't help it. Since his appointment, he has selected a large number of young prospects to give him an opportunity. If there is a player who comes up, there is a player who has to go down.

However, it is regrettable from the standpoint of acting director Cho, who is also like `big brother.'

The unfortunate protagonist of the Futures League on this day is a right-hander Jungwoo Kim who was first nominated by the SK Wyverns in 2018 and wore a Doosan uniform in a trade with Kang Jin-sung in 2023. It was called up on the 6th and canceled on the 8th after throwing one game against Lotte on the 7th. This day is the starting game for Kwak Bin, a classmate who was first nominated by Doosan in the same year.

Even threw well in the game after the call-up. In the game on the 7th, he pitched well with one strikeout, no hit, and no run in one inning.

I wanted to keep it in the first team, but the team situation was not good. Yang Eui-ji urgently needed a backup catcher as he felt an abnormality in his chronic right knee.

"Jungwoo Kim threw it so well yesterday, but I really don't want to talk about this, but due to team circumstances, I got Kim Jung-ho off again. Ryu Hyun-jun is registered to back up the catcher."

Yang Eui-ji started as the third catcher against Lotte on the 7th, and was immediately replaced by pinch runner Kim Ki-yeon after walking after one out in the bottom of the fifth inning. Doosan said "Yang Eui-ji felt uncomfortable in his right knee. We replaced it to protect the players."

Acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan said on the 8th that he asked for a replacement because he thought he would feel a little worse yesterday. Rather than getting worse and having a few days of absence, he said he made that decision too well yesterday. Looking at today's condition, I thought it was a little too much to back up the catcher even if it was possible to be a designated hitter, so I needed one catcher to back up"The cancellation of the Jungwoo Kim and the background of Ryu Hyun-jun's registration were explained.

Yang Eui-ji is the third designated hitter, and Kim Ki-yeon wears the catcher mask.

In the wake of Lotte left-hander Gamboa, Doosan came out with a lineup centered on right-handed batters.

Lee Yoo-chan (striker), Kim Dae-han (right wing), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Kim Jae-hwan (left wing), Kim Ki-yeon (fosu), Park Joon-soon (third baseman), Jung Soo-bin (middle fielder), Park Gye-beom (first baseman), Yeo Dong-gun (second baseman) lineup. Kwak Bin will start for the second time since his return.

Jung Soo-bin is going to defend normally today.

Acting coach Cho explained, `I thought right-handed hitters would be a little more advantageous in terms of Gamboa's form, so I made a lineup focusing on right-handed hitters.' `Park Gye-beom goes out to first base.'
