"I'm thinking about it. You need to check the status."

A popular SSG Landers encountered a reef. This is because it is unknown when Anderson, one of the most powerful one-two punches, will take the mound next time.

SSG failed to play the Kiwoom Heroes match, which was scheduled to be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 13th. The decision to cancel was made early due to heavy rain.




If it's canceled due to rain, I'm curious about the next day's selection. If you are a good pitcher, you often go as it is, and if you are a 4th or 5th starter, you may pull the first-order player to throw the winning pitcher.

However, director Lee Sung-yong "I haven't decided yet. I'm thinking about it." What did it mean.

The selection of SSG on the 13th was scheduled to be made by Moon Seung-won. At first, coach Lee was planning to pull White to the 14th if the game was canceled on the 13th.

But there is a problem. Anderson, who took the mound against Kiwoom on the 12th and won his eighth victory with nine strikeouts and no runs in five ⅔ innings, sent an abnormal signal. "Anderson feels tightness in his right thigh after yesterday's game," Lee said. It's not a big injury, and it's not enough to be excluded from the entry right away, but what's certain is that Tuesday-Sunday's mound was out.

So he changed what he was going to pull White and put it in, and decided to leave Moon Seung-won as he was. This is because the starting rotation can be naturally pushed back one by one to secure Anderson's day off.

The best scenario for the SSG is that Anderson is not a big deal, so take a good rest until the weekend and next Monday and play in the game against the KT Wiz on Wednesday. However, Lee was cautious. Manager Lee said "I think we can set the schedule for the next game only if we check the condition further.'

Anderson joined as a substitute last year and successfully renewed his contract with SSG by showing overwhelming pitching. However, he had little experience as a full-time starter before coming to SSG. Last year, he played a starting role through a step-by-step build-up process, and as the number of games accumulated, it was also difficult. Manager Lee said, `It is said that we have prepared well ahead of this season, but he is a player with insufficient selection experience. I think there's something that's a little hard to do. If you played as a starter for a long time, you would have know-how and do it, but there are things that are burdensome because you have no experience."

In fact, SSG is in a situation where native ace Kim Kwang-hyun is out due to an injury, so if Anderson is away for a long time, it is a fatal blow. There is a comfort that the alternative starters have a high winning rate, but coach Lee said, `It is difficult for the coach to leave out the players who should be supportive. In a way, when I say I'm going up to the postseason, I think I can be the strongest team at that time."
