SSG will face the Samsung Lions in the second round of the semi-playoff at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th. In the first game held the previous day, SSG was completely defeated 2-5 as starter Mitch White's poor three runs in two innings and the lineup failed to target Choi Won-tae. The embattled SSG has made changes to its lineup.
Ahn Sang-hyun, who started as the starting second baseman in the first game, and Ryu Hyo-seung, the designated hitter, were excluded. Instead, second baseman Jung Joon-jae and right fielder Kim Sung-wook were put in. He also raised Guillermo Herredia's batting order to No. 2. Shortstop Park Sung-han and left fielder Eredia were placed at No. 1 and No. 2 'Table Setter', and Choi Jeong, who was the fifth hitter the previous day, was placed as the third baseman and third hitter. Han Yu-sum was then placed in the fourth as a designated hitter instead of an outfield defense, and first baseman Ko Myung-joon was placed in the fifth.
Center fielder Jihoon Choi was listed at No. 6 and right fielder Kim Sung-wook was listed at No. 7. Second baseman Jung Joon-jae and catcher Cho Hyung-woo were placed in the bottom batting order of the 8th and 9th. Cho Hyung-woo should lead starting pitcher Kim Gun-woo while wearing a mask as a starting catcher in Game 2 following Game 1.
The key is the weather. Incheon has had quite a lot of rain overnight since the evening of the 9th, the previous day. The rain hasn't stopped even in the afternoon after the morning and day of the next day. Even now, the rain is repeatedly thinning and thickening, and it is expected that it will take at least two to three hours to maintain the ground even if a large tarpaulin is removed and prepared to start the game.
If the rain falls, the game will be held at 2 p.m. on the 11th, the next day. If the semi-playoff series ends within Game 4, there is no problem, but if it goes to Game 5, it will be pushed back by one day until the playoff schedule.
