"I'm considering whether to let go of the left-hander."
After declaring the suspended game in Game 1 of the Korean Series on the 21st, KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho said for two days about the mound operation plan.
The game was suspended at the top of the sixth inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. Jang had thrown his first pitch at Kim Young-woong's plate. There is a way for Jang to keep going up when the game resumes, but he has no choice but to feel pressure. Kim Young-woong's bunt motion during Jang's first pitch also bothered me. Kkothwa initially thought that the left-hander bullpen is suitable in all aspects, including strong ball match and bunt defense.
However, it was right-handed Jeon Sang-hyun who took the mound at the suspended game that resumed on Sunday. It was neither the left-handed bullpen Lee originally said nor the existing right-handed Jang Hyun-sik.
Why was this decision made.
KIA conducted its pitching training early on the day. Checking the pitching staff's conditions was more important than ever on a day when the team had to play two games simultaneously. Notably, it had to screen out the pitching resources to be utilized in the suspended game, which had to prevent the risk of additional runs.
It was Jeon Sang-hyun who showed his "best condition" in this training. After the training, Jeon said to bullpen coach Lee Dong-gul, "I feel like I've got a lower body." Coach Lee delivered this to pitching coach Chung Jae-hoon and senior coach Son Seung-rak, and Lee, who received opinions at a meeting of the coaches, made the final decision.
Manager Lee said, "Actually, I was going to let Lee Joon-young go first, and if he walked and loaded the bases with no outs, I was going to raise Jeon Sang-hyun. If Lee Joon-young catches (Kim Young-woong), I was planning to go to Jeon Sang-hyun from the first and second bases with one out." He said, "I really thought for a long time. I thought a lot about 'Should I cut one off as a left-handed pitcher' and 'whether the batter bunt or hit it?'" adding, "I talked to the pitching coach that Jeon Sang-hyun would be the best except for Jung Hae-young, who is the most stable pitcher among the must-win groups." Manager Lee said, "I put up Jeon Sang-hyun by trusting only ball power, but it was an opportunity to win the first game to make it easier to operate in the second game."
The so-called 'feel' that the players call can be a double-edged sword in a big game. 먹튀검증
It would be a relief if he is in his best condition, but his desire to play in a big game sometimes manifests itself like a placebo effect. KIA believed Jeon's feeling, and Jeon responded by scoring no runs in the sixth inning. KIA had come from behind to win in the first round and achieved the best result by securing a 90 percent chance of winning the Korean Series by garnering a come-from-behind victory in the second round.
