The foreign player, who wanted to be at the center of the team's selection, took turns and deviated from his power. I couldn't take off the question mark after I came back.
Ahead of the match against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 27th, Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop said "The first half of the year is over after enduring."
Continuous injuries and sluggish performance by key players. Above all, foreign duo who have to take the center stage of the starting lineup have taken turns to lose their power.

Raul Alcantara, who had 13 wins, 9 losses and a 2.67 ERA in 31 games last year, complained of pain in his elbow after the Kiwoom Heroes match on April 21. He was tested by his doctor in the United States as well as at a domestic hospital, and returned to the match against KIA on May 26, about a month later. Having been sluggish with five runs in three ⅓ innings against KIA, he left a lower-than-expected performance with one win and a 4.88 ERA in five games in June. He gave hope for a rebound with seven scoreless innings against NC on the 20th, but he was sluggish with five runs in three ⅔ against Hanwha on the 26th. Director Lee said "It's not very good. I have a lot of worries."

The bigger problem than Alcantara is Brandon Waddell. He served as a practical ace with 7 wins, 4 losses and a 3.12 ERA in 14 games this season, but he was excluded from the entry on the 24th due to damage to his left shoulder shoulder lower muscle. I decided to have a re-examination in three weeks, but the situation is not good. Lee continues to talk with the club. I understand that the club is also checking here and there. I think the front desk will prepare well," he said, hinting at a replacement.
Although negative factors have continued since April, foreign players have been left steadily, Doosan is ranked fourth with 44 wins, two draws and 38 losses until the 29th. He is only three games behind the leading KIA Tigers (45 wins, 2 draws and 33 losses).
The starting team had a hole, but the bullpen was followed by a performance of 'Young Blood'. The growth of rookie Kim Taek-yeon as a closer and Lee Byung-hun and Choi Ji-gang were outstanding. On top of that, veteran Hong Gun-hee, Kim Kang-ryul and Lee Young-ha also played their part in various places to prevent Doosan from collapsing. I didn't even get help from the weather. Doosan played 82 games, the most among the 10 teams, until the 29th. Even if the rain was canceled, he played with a doubleheader and spent the season quickly.

Doosan is looking for a substitute for Brandon for now. Shirakawa Keisho and Roenis Elias, who played well for SSG Landers, are also considered. SSG signed Shirakawa as a short-term replacement foreign player as Elias was sidelined by injury. Shirakawa went 2-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five games. In the game against Lotte on the 7th, he collapsed with eight runs (7 earned runs) in one ⅓ inning and continued pitching without any ups and downs. SSG must break up with Shirakawa to register Elias. On the other hand, in order to accompany Shirakawa, Elias has to be released. Any card is not bad for Doosan, as it has already adapted to the KBO League. Director Lee said "Everything is open" It could be another opportunity for us. It can turn the mood around as well," he said, expressing a positive meaning.

Lee is looking for a replacement for Brandon. The gap should be reduced to a minimum so as not to be long in the good direction"While the middle pitchers did well, the starting pitchers did not play long innings. So the relievers quickly went into the game, and as a result, they began to lose their strength little by little. The starting team should cheer up a little more so that the pitchers who are struggling now can endure. Also, if the selection team is a little difficult, if another hero of the difficult time comes out, it can be surprisingly well, so I'm looking forward to that. I hope the batters will also help the pitcher."
In addition, coach Lee said "The players are working really hard. There are no more players (in the second division). He has no choice but to endure with the player he is now. At the same time, it will be better when foreign players return. I'm thinking that something good will happen"We expected to see a rebound.
