LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop settled about the first half, saying, `It was possible to do it, but you can get it.' Coach Yeom made an early first half settlement ahead of an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 2nd.
LG, which started with a loss of winning power, including closer Ko Woo-seok's advance to the U.S., Lee Jung-yong's enlistment in the military, and Ham Deok-ju's surgery, had to spend a difficult first half of the season due to poor foreign one-two punches in May and the injury of Lim Chan-kyu and Choi Won-tae in June. Nevertheless, he was able to finish the first half while maintaining the top ranks, including ranking first.
Looking back at the first half, Yeom said "It's a shame. It was only about 50% less than when I started camp and envisioned the season"I want to evaluate it as the first half of the year when the players worked really hard despite many difficulties." When asked how much it would be if it was evaluated by the old 'Soumiyangga', he said "It was possible to do it, but considering many things, I think I can get about ."

Son Joo-young is making his first full-time appearance as a fifth starter. He pitched in 16 games and recorded five wins and five losses with an earned run average of 3.83. He pitched 80 innings to rank 21st overall in the number of innings. He ranks 10th among Korean pitchers. He has four quality starts out of 16 games, but he pitched 12 innings or more, playing a good role despite being his first full-time starter.
Coach Yeom cited keeping the rotation healthy as the MVP reason. Coach Yeom said, "(Son) Joo-young would have shaken our team a lot."Especially in June, two domestic starters were missing, and Joo Young kept her position. Joo-young defended him, preventing the overall overload on the mound."

Coach Yeom said "Youngchan played a lot of double innings. The game in which Young-chan threw a double inning was a game that could be passed. Once that game went on, it didn't go on for a game, but for five or six games, or at most a month, the aftermath could go onWe are in this position now because Youngchan cut it all off. That was the case against NC on Sunday. If Youngchan couldn't stop it, it would have been a game that turned upside down," said Yoo Young-chan's contribution.
Coach Yeom continued, `Not only our team, but all the coaches, all the clubs had a difficult first half. That's how much it's been leveled this season. "So I think the first half proved that it will be a season that no one knows until the end. In the future, the ranking will be determined by which team prepares well and which team has fewer injured players.
