Before the home game against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium on the 30th, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop explained, `Son Joo-young was originally scheduled to start against Doosan, but he changed it to Song Seung-ki because of his severe cold,' adding, `Son Joo-young can get an IV at the hospital, come to the ballpark, train, and put him in the middle if he says he is in good condition.'
According to the original rotation, Song Seung-ki will take the mound against Doosan on the same day, but Son Joo-young was in better condition last week.
Song Seung-ki allowed only nine hits (one home run), one walk, one strikeout, and three runs in three ⅓ innings against NC on the 24th, but Son Joo-young became the winning pitcher with two hits, one walk, and seven strikeouts in seven innings against Lotte on the 25th.
Son Joo-young threw only 76 pitches until the seventh inning and stepped down, which was in mind to start against Doosan on the 30th. According to LG's performance in the second half, Son Joo-young was the best among the five with four wins, no losses and an ERA of 2.37. Tolhurst, who recorded 6 wins and 2 losses, also had an ERA of 2.86, higher than Son Joo-young, and Chirinos, who had 6 wins and 1 losses, also had 2.55, slightly higher than Son Joo-young.
However, there was a variable called cold body aches, and in the end, Song Seung-ki was not in a physical condition to throw long innings, but he was going to play against Doosan on the 30th.
LG, which came to Jamsil after losing 3-7 against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 29th and failing to erase the magic number 1, is only left against Doosan on the 30th and NC on October 1st. If Hanwha loses both games, LG will have to win one of the three remaining games. If LG loses both games and Hanwha wins all three games, it will play the first place match.
For LG, it is better to confirm the championship in the match against Doosan on the 30th. NC is still fighting for fifth place, so it's burdensome.
Coach Yeom said, `Son Joo-young has had a cold since two days ago, and it got worse yesterday, so he sent her to Seoul in advance to get an IV. I got an IV this morning, and she said she got better by 60-70%, but she can come to the ballpark late in the afternoon to play catch and judge her physical condition, so if she's heavy, she can't go out, and if it's okay, she can go out depending on the situation.'
LG is lacking in mid-term pitching as it can be said to be a must-win group that Kim Young-woo and Kim Jin-sung can trust. Song Seung-ki has to throw more than five innings so that the must-win group can block him and hope to win. It is an all-out war for LG.
