A sketch of Hanwha Eagles' pitching operation in Games 3 and 4 was drawn. The key is Moon Dong-ju.
Hanwha will play the third playoff game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 21st. Series 1-1 situations. It's like a de facto final.
The key is the bullpen competition after Ryu Hyun-jin and Furado's starting battle. Hanwha had great fun by turning starter Moon Dong-ju into the bullpen in Game 1.
Game 3 is also Moon Dong-ju on standby. Director Kim Kyung-moon said, `Moon Dong-ju will be on standby. If the game goes in your favor, you will see Moon Dong-ju."
Regarding Moon Dong-ju's operation, head coach Kim explained that he will operate according to the situation such as the score.
It is because of the selection of Game 4 that it is important whether Moon Dong-joo comes out or not. Hanwha does not have four starters due to Moon Dong-joo's move to the bullpen. If he loses on this day, he should start Moon Dong-ju as he is driven to the edge of the cliff. If you win with Moon Dong-ju, another starter must take the mound. The situation is complicated.
Coach Kim said, `Tomorrow's selection will be decided after today's game.' If Moon Dong-joo takes the mound in Game 3, he will consider the selection of Game 4 with cards such as Jung Woo-joo. First of all, today's game is important."
