Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man puts in a surprise bullpen. It ended unfortunately with a walk-off home run.
But it wasn't all lost. It was a decision that left room for blessing in disguise.
The second semi-playoff match against SSG Landers was held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th. Samsung was a chaser.
SSG succeeded in taking the lead 2-0 with Ko Myung-joon's first home run in the second inning and Choi Jeong's timely hit in the third inning.
Samsung quickly tied the game 2-2 in the fourth inning with Diaz's two-run timely hit. Then, SSG broke the balance again by making it 3-2 with Herredia's timely hit in the fifth inning.
It took a long time to make the origin.

In the top of the ninth inning, Cho Byung-hyun, the iron wall closer, took the mound. As it was, the game seemed to end with SSG's victory.
But Samsung didn't give up. Instead of Kim Young-woong, who can 'Hanbang', Kim Ji-chan took out a pinch hitter card that weighs 'On the Run'. The winning move was right.
Cho Byung-hyun, who had his first save in autumn baseball, was shaken by a relatively narrow strike zone amid tension. a leadoff walk. Following the sending bunt, Kang Min-ho's first hit in fall baseball became a dramatic tiebreaking hit that made it 3-3.

the bottom of the ninth inning with a 3-3 score. I put Furado on the mound. a paving stone for a game in extra time.
Even after handling the first batter's Jihoon Choi with a fly ball to right field, Kim Sung-wook allowed a walk-off home run through a fastball to catch a ball count.
The moment when a painful 3-4 defeat is confirmed in an instant.

First, even after this day, the bullpen was not unreasonable at all. There was no significant impact on the third and fourth games.
Furado and Won Tae-in took the mound in the first and second games of the wild card game on the 6th and 7th, respectively, and threw more than 100 pitches.
As it was extended by one day due to rain on the 10th, the 3rd and 4th games in Daegu will be held on the 13th and 14th. A week is a good rest day. It is okay to change the order of selection to Won Tae-in in Game 3 and Huradoro in Game 4.
Won Tae-in can take five days off and take the mound on his original scheduled date. It can be prepared according to the routine, making it easy to control your condition. Won Tae-in is the best card among Samsung's starting pitchers in the current trend. Unyielding Game 3. A good choice as a real game card against Anderson.
Even after getting enough rest, he threw seven balls on the day. Three days later, he pitched the bullpen before Game 4.
Second, SSG's proud must-win group was exhausted.
SSG starter Kim Gun-woo, who had six consecutive strikeouts and three perfect innings since the start of the game, shook from the fourth inning when the batting order was around once, and SSG had to pull the must-win card.
In the beneficial No-kyung, Kim Min and Cho Byung-hyun's core cards took the mound one after another. What if you went into the extension? SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said, `I had prepared Moon Seung-won.' Samsung had a good chance of winning.
a short-term war without tomorrow. You have to pour it out when you can win. In particular, if the bullpen tied the game in the ninth inning against a solid team like SSG, it should have been even more.

A short-term war is a flow fight. Samsung, which took the first game on the 9th with Choi Won-tae's good pitching, tried to drive the SSG to the brink by pushing the second game hard on the 10th.
However, the day was postponed due to the unwelcome cancellation of the rain. I bought another day for the SSG ace Anderson, who is recovering from enteritis symptoms. Samsung, whose `Nightmare of Rain' in last year's Korean Series against KIA, has been postponed for a day and can pass the entire series if it loses the second game.
It was the best if I could beat the second game even if I tried too hard. Even if they lost, they needed to show strong momentum and willingness to win.
Samsung players read the desperation and strong will of the head coach to play this series through 'Furado bullpen injection'. There is a growing possibility that they will unite to win the third game.
