Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man died and survived.
Samsung broke its five-game losing streak against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th and 16th, and won consecutive games for the first time in a long time, reducing its gap with the top five contenders. After losing five consecutive games earlier this month, he finally broke his losing streak and won and lost again, and his ranking plunged to eighth place after losing five consecutive games, but he still laid the groundwork for a rebound through the match against Lotte. Since there are three games against the fifth-place KIA Tigers, it is possible to catch up.
The Winning Series itself is also valuable as it is so sluggish in the second half of the year. Still, he secured the Winning Series regardless of the outcome of the game on the 17th by winning two consecutive games against Lotte. Coach Park Jin-man, who met him just before the game, said, `We are in a situation where Winning is not important, but we are focusing on every single game. You have to do your best until the end of every game," he stressed.
Naturally, the sweep of the three consecutive games is bound to be greedy. The key of this day's game is starter Lee Seung-hyun (left-hander). Since returning from an elbow injury, he has been anxious for two games. Coach Park said, `I think I'm still worried about my elbow. Compared to the good times in the first half, I don't think the ball power has come up yet."
On this day, bullpen players Kim Jae-yoon and Bae Chan-seung will rest. This is to prevent three consecutive games. There's no finishing touch. A situation in which the starter has to drag it out as long as possible. On how to deal with the save situation, coach Park said "If Lee Seung-hyun (right-hander) also comes out, it is three consecutive throws, but the number of pitches was small." Lee Seung-hyun said, "When a save situation comes, I wait to put it in then."
Samsung will welcome Lotte ace Gamboa on this day. It's already the third showdown. The first showdown was Gamboa's KBO League debut. At that time, it was a game that became a hot topic with 'allowing polite home steel' However, Gamboa avenged Samsung by allowing eight strikeouts and one run in six innings in her second showdown. Coach Park said, `If we meet three times, there will be advantages and disadvantages. The first game was played without knowing, and the second game was difficult after checking the opponent's ball. It's the third time today, so there will be some visible parts. Since the batting lineup has a good atmosphere, we need to continue the atmosphere well," he stressed.
