LG Twins and SSG will face off in the 13th game of the season at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 16th.
LG won against Hanwha in Daejeon the previous day (15th) with a cold game in the 7th inning, leading 4-3. SSG had a rest day with no games on the 15th. SSG suffered a come-from-behind loss to Doosan in the bottom of the 9th inning on the 14th. On the 15th, KIA also suffered an upset loss to Doosan, leaving SSG in 4th place, 0.5 games ahead.
LG has 71 wins, 2 draws, and 47 losses. With 24 games left, the magic number to win is ’19’. Since it is impossible for the second-place chasers to win every game, approximately 14 wins is a safe bet for the championship. Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop, who had set the season goal at 88 wins, revised it to “We aim for 14 wins in the remaining 24 games.” That’s 85 wins.
Before the game against Jamsil SSG on the 16th, coach Yeom Kyung-yeop mentioned the previous day’s cold game victory, saying, “Yesterday was the best performance of the season. We barely used middle pitchers.” The following is a Q&A.
-Who will fill the temporary selection list next week?
Lee Ji-gang throws on Tuesday. On Wednesday (20th), Kim Yun-sik will take 4 days off. So, Yoon-sik was replaced early yesterday by adjusting the number of pitches (81). Kelly, Jeong-yong Lee, Chan-gyu Lim, and Won-tae Choi will be the starters on Sunday.
-To what extent is Plutco undergoing rehabilitation?
She is preparing on her own. Since she said so, she will come as soon as possible.
-If the results of next week’s checkup are good, will Ham Deok-ju start pitching right away?
She told me to stop now. Until the results of the examination come out, don’t play catch because it will only have negative consequences. If (the test result) says it’s okay, you can start (pitching) right away.
-Who will be the second pitcher after the starter?
I plan to appoint Kim Jin-seong, Yoo Young-chan, and Baek Seung-hyeon in turns. Yesterday, there were many left-handed hitters, so I used Kim Jin-seong.
On this day, LG’s starting lineup includes Hong Chang-ki (right fielder), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Austin (first baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Moon Seong-ju (left fielder), and Park Hae-min (center fielder). It is the same lineup as the previous day. 스포츠토토
