"I don't do it after the rotation. I'll do it in due course."

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was asked about the Hanwha Eagles ahead of the KT Wiz match held at Jamsil Stadium on the 29th of last month. At that time, LG reduced its victory against Hanwha, which was running in absolute first-round mode, to three games. The momentum was very frightening. Therefore, many predicted that the three consecutive home games against Hanwha, which will be held from August 8, will become a de facto 「Korean Series」. Attention was inevitable early ahead of the important three-game series.

At that time, there was enough time for the coach to prepare for the war, such as adjusting the rotation, until the match against Hanwha. However, Yeom said, `I won't care about the three consecutive games against Hanwha. It is important to win every game unconditionally. I will meet Hanwha and have a normal match. I know you shouldn't set a goal of three consecutive wins. I won't do things like aligning the rotation. I'll solve it as soon as I can. That's how you can use your strength in the postseason. We need to build up the multiplier as much as possible while not overdoing it, he stressed.

And as time passed, the three consecutive games against Hanwha approached. Coach Yeom revealed the starting rotation with Hanwha. Lim Chan-kyu, Chirinos and Son Joo-young will take turns. With Hernandez out, the first to third starters will be dispatched.

It's not a very reasonable rotation. With Hernandez's exit empty, Choi Chae-heung decided to enter the game against the Doosan Bears on the 6th. In fact, it was Song Seung-gi's turn to take a five-day break from the rotation. It was the order of Son Joo-young, Song Seung-ki, Lim Chan-kyu, Hernandez and Chirinos, so it was Choi Chae-heung's turn to enter the match against Hanwha on the 8th.

However, Hernandez left and Choi Chae-heung, who is preparing to start after taking the mound in relief on July 31, placed Choi on the 6th, saying that he could give Song Seung-ki and Lim Chan-kyu another day of rest because it is irrelevant at any time. Although the name of rest was given, the decision put Lim Chan-kyu in charge of the first game of the three consecutive Hanwha games. Even if it is aimed at Hanwha, it is not an unreasonable interpretation. Of course, coach Yeom was not forced to change the rotation, but he was able to show his operational prowess because a variable called Hernandez's replacement occurred.

What's interesting is that Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon took a step back against LG. In order for ace Ponce to face LG, he had to start against KT Wiz on the 5th. Then Ponce could be in charge of Tuesday-Sunday's game. However, Ponce, who lacks full-time starting experience, is feeling pressure to take the mound on Tuesday and Sunday, and head coach Kim changed the order with Ponce and sent Moon Dong-ju on the 5th. Ponce, who was expected to start on the 6th, is virtually impossible to play against LG.
