Daegu Lions Park on the 2nd.
Until this morning, the rain, which seemed to have a hole in the sky, stopped like a lie. The clouds were still all over the place, but sometimes the sun stood out. The mud field made on the infield base side that covered the tarpaulin was evidence that the rainy season had passed.
KIA's team was in a state of 'open closure' due to the cancellation of all games against Kiwoom in Gwangju from the 29th to the 30th due to rain. I had a delicious three-day rest in addition to the one-day rest day.
It was a time like a medicine. In the previous four games, he allowed as many as 48 runs, with only one draw and three losses. I tried to support the collapsed mound with the bat, but it was not enough. The gap with the second place, which seemed to be widening, has also narrowed. I was able to rest my body tired of rain at a time when the word 'fall' had no choice but to come to mind.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said "It has become a situation where pitchers can rest. Batters have sensory problems because they haven't played for a few days, but they've played so many games earlier"It was meaningful to rest. Then "I had a hard week. Both Tu-Ta needed time to settle down psychologically and physically"I looked back on the previous break.
The Samsung Lions met in the final chapter of the first half. Depending on the results of the three consecutive games against Samsung, which is in third place but is trailing by only two games, KIA may finish the first half of the year in the lead or fall.
KIA was busy ahead of the match. In order to change the atmosphere, changes were made to the position of the head coach. Yang Hyun-jong, who did not take the mound for two days from the 29th to the 30th, skipped the order and put up a foreign one-two punch first, making changes in the rotation. Director Lee expressed his intention to do his best, saying, `We have to wait and see whether the three-day rest will be a medicine or a poison.'
