Finally, the losing streak is broken..
Unexpectedly, Ryu Hyun-jin was well countered in the early innings. Before the zero adjustment was made, they hit well and 참고 well, sending him off the mound in the 2nd inning. However, Seung-gi was also countered and replaced in the 2nd inning, leading to a muddy battle.
Juheon, who was put in as a surprise starter, was immediately replaced by Chamchi in the 2nd inning, and Jae-won was also replaced by Seong-ju. It seems that there is no intention to change the starting lineup.
It's noticeable that the current starting players are physically quite exhausted. Especially today, due to the anxiety of the losing streak, errors seem to be happening more frequently. If they face a well-organized team, there is a high possibility that they will be exploited in this area.
From the middle of the game, the opposing manager replaced all the starting players and operated with substitutes. It was difficult to cope with and allowed runs. While breaking the losing streak is a relief, I am more worried.
Although the losing streak has been broken, it's unclear what lineup will be used for tomorrow's 3rd game...
Continuing to put Jae-won, Jeong-bin, Chan-ui, and Juheon in the lineup would significantly increase offensive power. However, it seems that this will only remain a wish.
When I saw the lineup before today's game, I thought they might put Lee Jae-won in 3rd place because the opponent was Ryu Hyun-jin. They would counter him and then send him down to the minors and call up Cheon Seong-ho.
The opposing pitchers couldn't easily decide the game, giving out walks and hit-by-pitches. I was hoping for a big hit from the returning batters, but they were all taken out. It made me smile bitterly.
Seong-ju's hitting has been the same for several games now, with the same swing and course resulting in outs. There seems to be no sign of improvement. ㅠ
Anyway, it's fortunate that the losing streak was broken.
Good job to the players. Always cheer for LG Twins!!
