"LG is too much to handle."

SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong highly praised LG Twins batters.. When the league's strongest SSG bullpen meets LG, it becomes passive.

Manager Lee Sung-yong made the remarks ahead of the 2025 KBO League game against LG at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 17th.




SSG ranks first in the league with a 3.23 ERA in the bullpen until the 17th. Starting with closer Cho Byung-hyun, Noh Kyung has a very solid must-win group supported by Lee Won-min. All six bullpen pitchers who threw more than 30 innings as relief have an ERA of less than 4.00.

However, in the game against LG, SSG's bullpen ERA soared to 5.16. The bullpen also struggled quite a bit in the last two games.

On the 15th, Lee Woon struggled in the top of the eighth inning with a 3-2 lead. While catching two out-counts, he gave up one hit and one walk. I left two runners behind. Cho Byung-hyun took the mound in relief. LG Park Dong-won hit a come-from-behind three-run home run. As LG won 5-3, Lee Won-woon lost and Cho Byung-hyun took on a blon save.




On the 16th, I had a chill in my spine. Park Si-hoo hit a grand slam in the top of the sixth inning with a 7-3 lead. However, from the seventh inning, the beneficial Noh Kyung-eun was able to win 10-7 because Cho Byung-hyun blocked each inning well. In the eighth inning, Noh Kyung-eun was on the verge of being on the first and second bases with two outs. In the ninth inning, Cho Byung-hyun had the luck of a line drive hit by Moon Bo-kyung leading to a double-out with one out and one on the first base.

Manager Lee Soo-yong shook his head, saying, `LG is too much.'

Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `I think our must-win teams are going in with confidence when they play against other teams, but they always go this tight with LG. He also said, "We are good at catching even LG's things that we missed a little bit."




As of the 17th, LG ranks first in the league.

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `So I think I'm in first place. You have to admit it. I felt that we had to prepare more.'

It was a two-day close game, so it was a big waste of victory. Only Cho Byung-hyun, who finishes, is waiting for three consecutive games. Director Lee Soo-yong said, `For now, the beneficial No-kyung is resting for Kim Min. If there is a save situation, Cho Byung-hyun will prepare. Today, I will go to Song Young-jin, Han Doo-sol, and Kim Taek-hyung." He revealed the mound plan slightly.
