The Lotte batters were brutal...
I thought it was natural that Jang Hyun-sik would be overworked with two starts a week, and since it was a Sunday game, I thought they would change pitchers a little faster. But today, just like in the first game, it didn't seem to be any slower, and he even left runners on base when he handed it over to Yoon-sik, which I couldn't understand...
(Personally, I thought they would put in Ham Deok-ju or Lee Woo-chan.)
Anyway, we hit them hard, but they chased well with counter punches. But it wasn't enough...
When Ju-heon is catching, the dugout usually gives signs with ball combinations, but Lotte's hitters were too scary...
Hong Chang-gi, Shin Min-jae, Moon Sung-ju, and Oh Ji-hwan were especially good in this series. Especially Hong Chang-gi and Shin Min-jae are hitting well, so I wonder if lowering their batting order will solve the problem.
It's fortunate that we're holding on even though the veterans are struggling. But when the hitting cycle of the other players goes down, it won't be easy...
When Song Chan, who accounts for more than 30% of our offensive power, was hit in the head, my heart sank. Fortunately, it was a straight ball that didn't have much power.
If we hadn't had Austin today, we would have been struggling for a long time. The LG Twins are riding on Austin's back.
PS.. 1. I was surprised by the commentator's remark that Kim Young-woo's appearance was only ten days ago... (They don't raise him on the mound, they raise him in the dugout.)
After experiencing Lotte's "bullpen," Hanwha's "bullpen" awaits...
The players worked hard, and LG Twins fighting!!!
