Two teams in desperate need of victory met, but the first round was canceled due to rain.

Daegu Lions Park on the 17th, when the first game of the four-game series between the Samsung Lions and the Kiwoom Heroes was scheduled to be held. It was postponed due to the rainy season.

Both teams desperately need to win the first four games of the second half.




Samsung desperately needs a rebound early in the second half. At the end of the first half, the 50% winning rate collapsed and fell to 8th place amid four consecutive losses.

Disappointment is premature. It is only 2.5 games behind fifth-place KT and three games behind fourth-place KIA. With this four-game series, he could return to the top five at once. We should start the second half with the lowest Kiwoom as a springboard for a rebound.

If we fail to close the gap quickly with the top five, we will be at a disadvantage as time goes by.




Kiwoom can't help but be beaten by Samsung without feeling weak.

Kiwoom, which finished the first half with a 30% win rate and a chin-up at the bottom, is restless. There is a strong backlash after dismissing Hong Won-ki as responsible for poor performance.

Even after the strongest one-two punch last winter, the decision to choose two foreign hitters failed. The bottom of the first half was the result of the decision. But the person who made the decision and the person responsible were different.




The only way to soften the strong critical view is to do well in the second half.

Acting head coach Seol Jong-jin, who replaced head coach Hong Won-ki, is confident.

In a team training held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 15th, he urged the players to work harder, saying, `I don't think the players are desperate.' Song Seong-moon, the captain who heard this, said "If you saw it that way, it is right that we should be more desperate "

Asked why Kiwoom was sluggish in the first half, acting manager Seol said, `There must have been various problems, including rotation of foreign players and pitchers, but the operation was insufficient and the running baseball was not possible. Overall, there were few attempts to play. I'm going to bunt a lot, too. I'm going to sign off on the bench" expressed his aspirations. It can be interpreted that the players were not desperate, and the bench lacked active operational development such as running baseball.

Kiwoom Baseball, which will be different. You have to open the lid to know.

Attention is focusing on whether running baseball will work for Samsung right away. Samsung catcher Kang Min-ho and Kim Jae-sung's steal blocking rate is only 0.167. Furado's steal blocking rate, which is delayed by a day, is only 0.143 as a starter on the 18th.

Furado is a foreign ace sent by Kiwoom as a gift to Samsung. Kiwoom's power, which weakened by sending Furado, became the trigger for the first half of the fall. I met the person at a time when it was time to quell the controversy with victory. The Kiwoom starter who will face Hurado is Wells.

Interesting first game of the second half between Samsung and Kiwoom. It has been delayed by a day, raising questions about the results.
