Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop explained why he excluded key bullpen Hong Gun-hee from the entry.
Doosan changed its entry ahead of the match against the SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 29th. Pitcher Hong Gun-hee was eliminated and Park Chi-guk was registered.
Coach Lee, whom I met before the game, complained of back discomfort while preparing for the game yesterday. I thought I'd need a little time, so I left it out of the entry. If you're out today, you can come in just in time for the start of the second half. I also received reports that Park Chi-guk was in good condition, so I made a decision."
Hong Gun-hee has 3 wins, 1 loss, 9 saves and a 2.32 ERA in 30 games this season. He took the finishing position during Jeong Cheol-won's turmoil, and recently he handed over the finish to rookie Kim Taek-yeon and was active in the bullpen.
Director Lee said, `The really important time is in August. In order to make my condition 100% in August, I decided that it would be better to rest when I'm a little under the weather", he explained.
Hong Gun-hee signed an FA contract with Doosan for up to 2.45 billion won for 2+2 years ahead of this season.
