"It's said that my left hamstring is a little bad."

He played in 100 of the 101 games his team played. Due to the large number of injuries, he played a lot of outfield defense at the age of 39.

It's time for the body to scream. Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 1st, said about the exclusion of Jeon Joon-woo's starting lineup of 'Captain' It's been a few days since he was sick, but today's report came up for the first time. I told you to take a rest today."

It's a level of pain and it doesn't interfere with playing in the game. It's not at the level of being eliminated from the first team at all. If necessary in the second half of the game, he is expected to be used as a substitute.

Yoon Dong-hee, who complained of pain in the right quadriceps, stepped up as a pinch hitter the previous day, and will be the fifth designated hitter on the day. The head coach said "Donghee said, "I told him to hit it because he got better today. Still, I'm not good at defense, but I'm going to be the designated hitter."

The long winning streak was cut off, but he still added one win without shaking to complete the series winning. Choi Jun-yong is somewhat shaken, but Jung Cheol-won has regained stability. In July, Jung Cheol-won played 12 games and 11 ⅓ innings, posting a good record of 1 loss and 4 holds with a 2.38 ERA. He is constantly doing his part. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said "(Choi) Jun-yong is trying to throw the ball too full these days. So the ball goes out one by one," he said, expressing regret.

Instead, Son Ho-young is showing off his peak hitting sense, shooting a full base gun the previous day. The head coach said "I felt like I was out of center in the strike position, but now I'm in the center. I've gained weight. You're in good condition, so you're rushing like before, right? 腑?Look at the attraction."

As for the starting Lee Min-seok, who is strangely not following Seung-woon, "You shouldn't be greedy." You can throw your own ball without worrying about batting like you do now. You're doing great. The more experience you have here, the better you get."

Foreign hitter Reyes is still playing full range this season following last season. Regarding the recent slump, such as a monthly batting average of below 300%, he answered that there is a physical problem.
