Why did LG remove DH from the 6th inning → What a coincidental butterfly effect. Yoo Young-chan at bat, Kim Hyun-soo at first base, and even an error

LG slightly complicated the operation of fielders against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 10th. The main catcher Park Dong-won came out as the designated hitter, but from the sixth inning, the position gap widened as he wore a catcher mask. Eventually, pitcher Yoo Young-chan's at-bat came back at the bottom of the eighth inning, making it impossible to use a pinch hitter.
In fact, this is a scene that can sometimes be seen on the day when LG puts Song Seung-ki as a starting pitcher.
Song Seung-ki's catcher is Lee Joo-heon. Park Dong-won takes a break from Song Seung-ki's starting game. Usually, he falls out of the starting and comes in as a pinch hitter in the second half.
The problem is when Park Dong-won comes out as the designated hitter and Lee Joo-heon plays as the starting catcher. When Lee Joo-heon needs a pinch hitter or wants to change the catcher to Park Dong-won, he should give up the designated hitter.
It was like that on this day, too.
LG took out Lee Joo-heon while entering defense in the top of the sixth inning. Designated hitter Park Dong-won moved to catcher. Pitcher Jang Hyun-sik entered the No. 8 Lee Joo-heon position. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the attack started with No. 2 Chun Sung-ho and ended in No. 5 Moon Sung-joo, so there was little impact.
A variable occurred at the end of the seventh inning. The leadoff hitter Oh Ji-hwan got on base. Moon Bo-kyung came out as a pinch hitter at the bat of No. 7 Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman). Moon Bo-kyung struck out. No. 8 Jang Hyun-sik's at-bat is back. Here, rookie Park Kwan-woo came out as a pinch hitter. Jang Hyun-sik has already done his job by allowing no runs in two ⅔ innings. It was a pinch-hitter. Park Kwan-woo exploded a tiebreaking two-run home run that made it 3-3.
LG changed its position significantly ahead of the defense in the top of the eighth inning.

Park Myung-geun allowed a double and a walk after one out in the top of the eighth inning. LG had to change pitchers again. Closer Yoo Young-chan took the mound for relief. Yoo Young-chan was placed in the 7th batting order at this time. Yoo Young-chan cleared the top of the eighth inning without losing a point.
LG's attack in the bottom of the eighth inning began with No. 5 Moon Sung-joo. After two outs, No. 7 Yoo Young-chan's at-bat came. Yoo Young-chan also had to throw in the ninth inning. LG couldn't use a pinch hitter. Still, Yoo Young-chan did not avoid the game. I swung my bat. He hit a well-hit ball to right field, but unfortunately, it was in front of the fielder.
Coincidentally, a defensive error came out in the top of the ninth inning. Second baseman Shin Min-jae caught Song Sung-moon's deep hit between the first and second bases and threw it to the first base. Kim Hyun-soo stood at first base. As the ball fell slightly back, it was recorded as a throwing error for the second baseman. Song Sung-moon eventually became the winner of the winning point when he came home during Stone's timely hit.
