KT manager Lee Kang-chul (57) looked embarrassed. It's because of next week's starting rotation. The rotation was forced to adjust because of the rain. Then, all one to three starters will go out in three consecutive weekday games with LG.
Coach Lee Kang-chul said before the match against Samsung in Suwon on the 31st, "The selection was adjusted as it rained for two days. Originally, Kim Min should enter Tuesday (5th), but it is not easy to make a substitute selection Tuesday-Sunday. I put Cuevas behind me," he said.
"Cuevas was hardly able to rest," he continued. Considering the rest of our schedule, I thought it would be better to give it a break. Then, Cuevas, Benjamin, and Ko Young-pyo will start three consecutive games next week. Then you can use Cuevas again on Sunday," he added.
And he said, "It's such an embarrassment. I don't mean to. It's better to go according to reason. I'm worried that the other person might misunderstand. No matter who oversees it, it will do this. This is right," he stressed.
Um Sang-baek left after suffering a fracture, and Kim Min was selected as a substitute starter for Um Sang-baek's position on August 29. The game was canceled due to rain. Kim Min's appearance has become "nothing." Ko Young-pyo announced the selection on the 30th.
It was canceled due to rain in Gyeonggi Province on the 30th. Wes Benjamin was selected in order on the 31st. He won his 14th win of the season by allowing three runs (two earned runs) in seven innings and quality start plus (QS+). Ko Young-pyo will start against Kiwoom on the 1st.
In fact, I could have pushed it one day at a time and went to Ko Young-pyo on the 31st and Benjamin on the 1st. In this case, Kim Min will take the mound on the 5th, next Tuesday. Then I have to go out again on Sunday (10th). Taking the mound twice a week is inevitably burdensome.
After much consideration, he pulled back Ko Young-pyo while keeping Benjamin's turn. Bae Je-sung will play on the 2nd, and Kim Min will take the mound on the 3rd. This is how this week's starting lineup was decided.
As a result, Cuevas, Benjamin, and Ko Young-pyo are starting three consecutive home games against LG from the 5th to the 7th. Foreign players, one-two punches, and Korean ace players.
The three consecutive games during the week are already drawing keen attention as they are a match between first-place LG and second-place KT. In the following three consecutive weekend games, the opponent is SSG. It could be a second-place match. Ahead of this, it may be considered that he 'intentionally matched the starting lineup'. Director Lee Kang-chul said, "This gaze is burdensome.
Director Lee Kang-chul said, "Honestly, I thought about giving him a four-day break overall. I thought it was too much. I don't even think next week's six-game series against LG-SSG is a game changer. We need to solidify our position now. Aren't we starting baseball. If he plays Kim Min, he has no choice but to use a lot of bullpen. Coordination was inevitable," he stressed. 바카라사이트
"It's best to go according to order," he continued. If we had a good bullpen, things would have been different. If it was last year, bullpen day was also possible. Not this year," he added.
KT's August was a "fantasy" itself. He recorded 19 wins and 4 losses and a winning rate of 0.826 per month. Except for KT, no team has a monthly winning rate of around 70%. Of course, I want to continue this momentum.
It is human nature to want to use the best pitcher. I didn't adjust it on purpose. The situation became strange as it was canceled for two days due to rain. The setting is complete. This is another burdensome command tower.
