"Wouldn't we be a little stronger in the remaining 46 games (as of the 29th)?"

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop did not directly mention 'recapturing the No. 1 spot' ahead of the Jamsil KT Wiz match on the 30th, but showed confidence in the lead fight.

I forgot how to get into the second half. LG ranks first in the second half with a 9-2 winning percentage of 0.818 in the second half. The second-place LG narrowed the 2.5 game gap with the first-place Hanwha Eagles after 11 games in the second half, and has now followed the two-game gap.




Coach Yeom said, `It seems that the hitting pace is also recovering, and overall, there have been sluggish performances and injuries so far. While foreigners are also struggling a little in the starting lineup, the winning team is not in good condition, and I am grateful that they have united around the seniors and kept this position together."

LG ranked second with a team batting average of 0.287 in the second half until the 30th. Moon Sung-joo (0.395), Koo Bon-hyuk (0.393), and Shin Min-jae (0.368) are lighting up the lineup, while Moon Bo-kyung, Oh Ji-hwan, and Park Hae-min are taking the center stage, and the team is running stably. Even 19-year-old rookie Park Kwan-woo is revitalizing with a batting average of 0.308.

It is more encouraging that it has been on the rise without foreign hitter Austin Dean. Austin was out for the entire month of July with an internal oblique muscle microdamage injury, which is set to return next week. Austin added weight to the lineup with 20 home runs and 55 RBIs before the injury.




Coach Yeom said, `What we have to think positively about is that Austin will return next week, and the batting pace seems to be rising accordingly. I started batting today (30th). I'm doing live betting the day after tomorrow. I was told that the injured area was completely attached"Welcome.

The bullpen, which hurt manager Yeom's head throughout the first half, has also been stable recently. Jang Hyun-sik, who was recruited as an FA this year, took the center stage with three wins, one save, seven innings and an ERA of 0.00 in six games in the second half.

Manager Yeom said, "(The middle side is also struggling for a while, but) Jung-yong will be better than now in a little while. Hyun-sik (Jang) is also coming up little by little in his orbit rather than in the first half. (Yoo) Young-chan has experienced something over the past two years, so I think he will definitely produce better results than now. If (Kim) Young-woo takes a step up, he can give (Kim) Jin-sung a little rest, and if he comes up as (Park) Myung-geun next week and does his part to catch right-handed hitters like he did at the beginning of the season, I think positively that we will be a little stronger in the remaining 46 games than we have been doing so far. Baseball has a lot of variables, so I don't know, but in my experience, I think the second half of the year will rise a little more. In the second half of the year, he expressed confidence, saying, "I have more expectations than anxiety because I am following Seung-woon and my performance is improving."

Coach Yeom's confidence was proven by the result of the KT match on the 30th. LG beat KT 5-0 to win its second straight game. Starter Son Joo-young took his ninth win of the season with seven scoreless innings, and Park Kwan-woo hit a defense and a wedge two-run shot to boost the team's atmosphere. Second baseman Shin Min-jae also set the stage for a complete victory with a double play defense that made KT hit batters with two hits in four at-bats.

Coach Yeom said, `The most important point is that Shin Min-jae's bold judgment in the top of the fourth inning with no outs and no runners on the second base did not hand over the flow to the opponent. In addition, with no outs and no outs in the top of the sixth inning, we were able to continue our flow by making a double play with a good diving catch. And I would like to praise Shin Min-jae and Park Kwan-woo for creating a foothold for victory with a total of three defense, including Park Kwan-woo's good defense with two outs and a runner on first base. I want to compliment our players who are showing their overall concentration in the second half of the season", he commented in general.

Son Joo-young said "The defense helped me so much that I was able to achieve nine wins. The good defense of (Park) Kwan-woo and (Shin) Min-jae was a big help. Other starters remained at eight wins, so (Im) Chan-kyu cheered for them to make nine wins before the game. Despite the scorching heat wave, many fans came to see us today and cheered us passionately. It was the biggest driving force to throw tirelessly until the seventh inning. I sincerely thank you for supporting the players to cheer up at the beginning of the second half."

Park Kwan-woo said, "There's not much difference between the first place and the third place, but the coach trusts me and writes it. "I want to repay that belief, so I think the results are good because I have such a desperate mindset." He expressed his willingness to contribute more to exciting baseball in the second half of the year.

In my experience, we will become stronger. Hanwha will also catch it, why is LG confident
