Is it Son Joo-young.
LG Twins' fifth starter Song Seung-ki's first bullpen appearance failed unfortunately. LG, which has to move one of Son Joo-young and Song Seung-ki to the bullpen in the postseason, is in a situation that will inevitably cause concerns.
Song Seung-ki was originally scheduled to start against the NC Dinos in Jamsil on the 12th. However, it was canceled due to rain before the game. However, he was unable to start against KIA on the 13th because he had warmed up before the game, and as Lim Chan-kyu started, Song Seung-ki decided to wait for the bullpen. Recently, LG bullpen pitchers have not been in good condition, so there were not many pitchers who could use it as a must-win group, so Song Seung-ki was used as a must-win group this time, and the postseason was expected.
Song Seung-ki took the mound in the top of the eighth inning to save Kim Young-woo in a crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases. They were trailing by one point at 2-3, so they were not allowed to lose points. However, Song Seung-ki hit an RBI single to the right in vain at the first pitch by Oh Sun-woo, the first batter. 2-4. In the crisis of the first and second bases that followed, he struck out Han Jun-su, caught Kim Ho-ryeong with a ground ball in front of the shortstop, and Song Seung-ki, who finished the eighth inning, also reached the top of the ninth inning.
However, he suffered a heavy hit by the leadoff Park Min-ho, and Park Chan-ho also allowed a hit to the right, putting him on the verge of first and third bases with no outs, and giving up one point when Kim Kyu-sung made a mistake in front of the third baseman. After that, he allowed a right-handed hit that was missed by Na Sung-bum with two outs and a runner on the second base, allowing another run. In the end, the gap between 2-6 and 4 points widened, and LG lost the momentum to chase.
LG chased one run with Park Dong-won's double in the bottom of the ninth inning, but failed to close the gap between the scores, losing 3-6.

Song Seung-ki's first bullpen appearance this season was four hits, two strikeouts and two runs in one ⅓.
Son Joo-young, who played a big role in raising the team to the playoffs by throwing a mid-game pitch in the semi-playoff last year, can't help but come to mind.
Son Joo-young played in 28 games (27 starts) as a fifth starter last year and had a good 9-10 record with a 3.79 ERA, and in the semi-playoff against KT Wiz, he moved to the bullpen, which was his team's weakness, and in two games, he pitched two hits, one walk, and 11 strikeouts in seven ⅓ innings, raising his team to the playoffs with Hernandez with one win and one hold. At that time, Son Joo-young, who had a relief victory with five scoreless innings in Game 3, was also named Daily MVP with two scoreless innings in Game 5. He is 10-6 with a 3.47 ERA as a fourth starter this season.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop and the coaching staff plan to use four starters in the postseason and turn one into the bullpen out of the five starters, and Son Joo-young and Song Seung-ki are considered candidates for the bullpen.
Considering that he has contributed to the team so far, he was likely to use Son Joo-young as a starter and turn Song Seung-ki, a fifth starter, into a bullpen. However, if Song Seung-ki's bullpen performance is not good, he may have to make a decision to win the team.
