LG Twins' bullpen is now somewhat abundant. Closer Yoo Young-chan and Ham Deok-ju returned from injury, and Lee Jung-yong was discharged from Sangmu, which has more cards to use quantitatively.
Compared to the fact that only Kim Kang-ryul and Park Myung-geun could be used at the beginning of the season, it deserves to be said to have improved tremendously.
However, not all of them are living up to their name value. Some can't pitch as well as meet expectations.
Group A of must-win is certain. Kim Jin-sung and Lee Jung-yong secure the victory with closer Yoo Young-chan. LG was able to take a 2-1 winning series as the three secured their wins at home against the Lotte Giants on the 18th and 20th. On the 18th, starter Son Joo-young pitched six innings of one run, and the bullpen started in the seventh inning with a 2-1 lead, creating a 2-1 victory until the end, with Lee Jung-yong, Kim Jin-sung and Yoo Young-chan stably blocking one inning each.
On the 20th, when Lim Chan-kyu allowed a 2-2 tie at the top of the sixth inning and was on the verge of loading the bases with two outs, Kim Jin-sung came up and struck out Hwang Sung-bin, and came out in the top of the seventh inning to allow one hit, but Lee Jung-yong made three outs in the eighth inning and Yoo Young-chan made three outs in the ninth inning. Amid the bullpen's scoreless pitching, LG scored the winning run with Moon Bo-kyung's timely double in the bottom of the eighth inning to win 3-2.

Group B is not yet. fail to give one's conviction. That was the case with the game on the 19th. After starter Hernandez stopped him with three runs in six innings, the bullpen was put in from the seventh inning. After falling behind 1-3, the bullpen should block Lotte's batters and hope LG hitters will turn the tables. Jang Hyun-sik, who took the mound in the top of the seventh inning, allowed a heavy hit to the lead Na Seung-yeop and allowed a walk to ninth pinch hitter Jung Hoon with one out and second base on a sacrifice bunt, putting him on the verge of first and second bases. The ball hit by No. 1 Hwang Sung-bin was fortunately caught by third baseman Moon Bo-kyung and led to a double play, which dramatically escaped the crisis.
However, a walk caught him in the top of the eighth inning. Ham Deok-joo, who took the mound, allowed consecutive walks to Reyes and Jeon Joon-woo after one out. He quickly raised Park Myung-geun, but even Park Myung-geun gave up a straight walk to Yoon Dong-hee, loading the bases with one out. He struck out Information Geun to make two outs, but he threw four balls in a row and gave Jeon Min-jae one point with a walk, and allowed two more points after hitting the right-handed hit by Han Tae-yang to make it 1-6, effectively deciding the game. In the end, LG excluded Park Myung-geun from the first team entry on the 20th, the next day.
Coach Yeom said, `If it's a starting baseball, we have more than a 70% chance of winning. If a starter throws more than six innings, the winning rate will be more than 70 percent."The problem is that if the starter collapses before the fifth inning, he will win by blocking him as a middle pitcher." Coach Yeom said, `To do that, Ham Deok-ju, Jang Hyun-sik, Park Myung-geun, and Kim Young-woo must throw well to increase the probability of catching the game and reduce overload"When our team's selection collapsed in the fifth inning, we had a hard time because our winning rate was less than 50%. There were many games where the starter went down and collapsed in the next pitcher. Even if you're holding on and losing, I hope you can come from behind to show how you were when you won."
