By leaving out Hong Chang-gi from the starting lineup and entrusting right field to Chan-ui, he secured a victory in the first game with this bold composition.
I personally think this side of Yeom Gam is really good..
If they had failed, I might have been scolded, but the fact that he tried something to break the losing streak, for veteran players who could become complacent, it creates tension and for rookie players, it gives them a new opportunity and determination. The 2026 season will be more enjoyable to cheer for.
Today's game saw Chan-gyu set a record for the most strikeouts as an LG franchise player. It was amazing to see a fresh-faced rookie not flinch against Lotte's cleanup hitter, Dae-ho Lee, and strike him out.
Looking at today's performance, I think they should sweep this series.
I haven't been able to relax and watch a game like this in a while..ㅎㅎ
Good job to the players, and as always, go LG Twins!
