"Everyone's resting."
KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho made a decision. Coach Lee announced that the must-win group Jung Hae-young, Cho Sang-woo and Jeon Sang-hyun would all rest before the LG Twins match in Jamsil on the 27th. The three pitchers took the mound for two consecutive days against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 25th and 26th. The result was one win and one draw, all of them taking the mound in a highly tense situation and relaxed.
In particular, the game against Kiwoom on the 26th used eight bullpen pitchers against starting pitcher Kim Gun-guk (3 innings). Before the game, manager Lee called out pitchers Kim Min-joo and Jang Jae-hyuk by expelling first baseman Hwang Dae-in and pitcher Kim Hyun-soo from the first-team entry. This is the result of judging that we need more pitchers than fielders right now.
Director Lee said, "(Pil Seung-jo) takes a rest. The number of innings is too high right now, and the number of games is too high. One game is important, but there's still a lot of season left, so managing the players is the first thing. I think all three of them need to rest today (27th)" he said.

Right now, Yang Hyun-jong's share of the starting pitcher became important. Yang Hyun-jong has 5 wins and 4 losses, 77 ⅔ innings and a 5.10 ERA in 15 games this season. There was a feeling of strength this year, but he set the stage for a rebound by scoring two runs and quality starts in six innings against Incheon SSG Landers on the 21st, the previous game. Yang Hyun-jong's ability to play innings is expected to be more important than ever.
Director Lee said "I'm in trouble. Hyunjong has to go out and give six scoreless innings" he said.
Regarding the bullpen management plan in the winning situation, Yeongtak is in the 8th inning and Jimin is in the 9th inning. First of all, I set it like that. I have two friends from Futures. I'll try it again with my youthful energy. I will pray that the batters will play well today."
KIA made the starting lineup with Lee Chang-jin (left fielder), Park Chan-ho (striker), Patrick Wisdom (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Oh Sun-woo (first baseman), Han Jun-su (catcher), Kim Ho-ryeong (middle fielder), Park Min (second baseman), and Choi Won-jun (right fielder).
