The LG Twins won six consecutive games. It seems that the goddess of luck is winning at the last minute in a fierce battle that seems to make her win.
At the same time, the gap with the No. 1 Hanwha Eagles, which had widened to 5.5 games, was narrowed to three games. It seemed like Hanwha had the energy of the universe that only came to the winning team, but now it feels like it came to LG.
However, LG, which is trying to win seven consecutive games, predicted Choi Chae-heung, an alternative starter, if the starting pitcher is Song Seung-ki according to the rotation against Doosan in Jamsil on the 27th. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has already announced that he will exclude Song Seung-ki from starting once. So on the 27th, LG Choi Chae-heung and Doosan Jack Rogue will face off as starters.
So for LG, this game became a stage to test the real 'Energy of the Universe'.
In the meantime, LG has never won the game in which the substitute starters took the mound and lost all of them, so if Choi Chae-heung and wins this time, he will be able to compete against Hanwha with confidence that LG has the energy of the universe.
LG had five starting pitchers this season, including two foreign pitchers, Yoni Chirinos and Eliaser Hernandez, and three domestic pitchers, including Lim Chan-kyu, Son Joo-young and Song Seung-ki. When Hernandez was out for six weeks with a thigh injury, temporary replacement pitcher Coen Win threw. Except for these six, only three pitchers, Kim Joo-on and Lee Ji-gang Choi Chae-heung, have started a total of four times

Coincidentally, I've never won. Kim Joo-on, who pitched well in the Futures League against Incheon SSG on April 20, was started in the first-team game in a surprise move, and Kim gave up four walks and was replaced immediately while he caught only one out count due to poor control, resulting in a forced bullpen day and eventually losing 3-9.
Lee Ji-gang, a bullpen pitcher, started against KIA in Gwangju on April 26, and played as a bullpen day, but the result was a 4-8 loss. On May 27, Choi Chae-heung, who had been preparing to start in the Futures League, pitched well with three hits and one run in four innings, but lost 2-5 due to the failure of the batters, and Choi Chae-heung took the mound again against Jamsil NC on June 19 and was the only alternative starter to go over five innings with four hits and one run in five ⅓ innings, but lost 0-3 without the help of the batters.
Choi Chae-heung will take the mound again in Jamsil for the first time in about a month. The opponent he met against Doosan on May 7th was Jack Rogue, who coincidentally faced the opponent's foreign pitcher for the second time as a substitute starter.
In this six-game winning streak, even if the starting pitcher pitched well, he did not become a winning pitcher, and all of them went to the relief pitcher. Jang Hyun-sik won three, Lee Jung-yong won two, and Kim Jin-sung won one each. Even if Choi Chae-heung comes out, I wonder if LG will win and win for the second time this season after the opening seven consecutive wins.
