I have something to tell you. The plea of 1.4 billion pitchers with long pride, variables in Game 4 will arise

Mitch White, who lost his pride in Game 1, begged to wait for the bullpen. What will happen if White waits for the bullpen.

SSG Landers will face the Samsung Lions in the fourth round of the semi-playoff at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th. SSG is 1-2 underdogs in the series due to its loss in Game 3. If you lose one more game, you will fall victim to Upset.

Kim Kwang-hyun will start the fourth game of SSG. Kim Kwang-hyun, who has yet to take the mound in this series, must rescue the team from the crisis.




But one 'variable' occurred. White volunteered to wait for the bullpen. At a press conference after Game 3 ended a day earlier, head coach Lee Sung-yong also bluntly said about the possibility of White and Kim Gun-woo waiting for the bullpen in Game 4. Manager Lee, who sent starter Kim Kwang-hyun to the bullpen in the fifth-place tiebreaker last year, vowed not to use him in the future as difficult results came out for each other.

But the player pleaded. Coach Lee Sung-yong entered the press conference room ahead of Game 4 and said, `First, I have something to tell you"Yesterday after the game, pitching coach Kyung Heon-ho came and White said he wanted to wait. I've told you all the stories I've interviewed so far, and I understand the coach saying that. I couldn't sleep last night and thought a lot about it. I also asked the front desk what he thought about the sleepless night.

Coach Lee Sung-yong had a brief interview with White before coming to the stadium. It was to persuade the player. Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `I try not to use the starting pitcher as a bullpen because I have experience so far. I wonder what you think. When I asked what he had in mind, White said 'I couldn't throw it against Samsung, give me a chance. 'Do you want to take revenge?' and he said he wanted to do it. So I'm going to give you a chance. I don't want to change what I've already said, but if I think the team's direction is right, I think it's right to put it down rather than keep the principles."

1st semi-PO match between SSG and Samsung held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 9th. SSG White, with two outs in the top of the second inning, is groundering Samsung Koo Ja-wook to first base. Incheon = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2025.10.09/
White, who took the mound as a starter in the first game and was sluggish with three runs in two innings, showed his willingness to play multiple bloods against Samsung somehow as the team was underdog.

Of course, White is not necessarily the first option. If starter Kim Kwang-hyun plays good pitching in long innings, there is no need for White to come out. SSG has saved Noh Kyung-eun, Kim Min and Cho Byung-hyun in Game 3. However, White can come out when the game enters an extension even after using up the bullpen, or when there is no clear winning group left. Also, if Kim Kwang-hyun shakes in the beginning, there is a possibility that White will come out.

Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `I like the bullpen, but I didn't think it was bad to make another option that could lead to five innings. The player plays anyway. The player said that, but he strengthened his determination by saying, "It is right for the coach to take responsibility for all the results."
