Can Jamsil Stadium hold the last three consecutive games in the first half.

Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears will face off at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd.

Doosan ranks fourth with 44 wins, two draws and 39 losses this season, while Lotte ranks seventh with 35 wins, three draws and 40 losses.

On this day, a large tarpaulin was installed at Jamsil Stadium. Due to the rainy season, heavy rain warnings were issued in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province. Jamsil Stadium was no exception.

There was a lot of rain from the morning, and there were traces of water bombs all over the ground. There are large water holes throughout the ground, including the outfield warning track at Jamsil Stadium.

According to the weather agency's forecast, it was supposed to rain all day, but there was a weather variable.

The forecast changed as the rain cloud moved somewhat north. The rain forecast at the start of the game has disappeared. For now, it is not easy to start maintenance as it is raining hard until about three hours before the start of the game.

As the rain subsided, the home plate was trimmed once, but soon after, the tarp was installed again in the thick rain.

Recently, KBO has had a lot of controversy over the cancellation of rain. The game started with rain forecast in the match between Samsung and KT held in Suwon on the 30th of last month. Samsung led 7-1 until the fourth inning, but eventually, it rained and a no-game declaration was made. Samsung had to play a doubleheader the next day, and finished with one draw and one loss. Despite the rain forecast, Samsung pushed ahead, and in the end, it became a no-game, and Samsung was furious that it was in vain.

Samsung-KT match held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 29th. With Samsung leading 7-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning, the game, which was suspended due to rain, was eventually canceled. Samsung players' disappointed backside. Suwon = Reporter Jeong Jae-geun cjg@sportschosun.com /2024.6.29/

A game between the Doosan Bears and SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium on the 29th. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop is appealing when referee Oh Hoon-kyu declared a rainfall cold in the seventh inning. Jamsil = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2024.06.29/

On the same day, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop also expressed regret to the umpires. The game, which was losing 0-6, was suspended in the bottom of the seventh inning. The rainfall cold declaration was issued. The rain died down a lot at the time of the cancellation, but the judges explained that they canceled it because the forecast predicted a large amount of rain. After the actual cancellation, it rained a lot. However, it was Doosan's story that as the game has already been played, it should be repeated when it is reduced and canceled when the rain becomes thick. Doosan's regret was inevitably great, as the opportunity to attack was not guaranteed the same number of times.

First of all, according to the forecast, it doesn't rain at the start of the game.

However, it says that it will get off again at 9 p.m. The supervisor makes a decision before the start of the game, and the referee makes a decision after the start of the game.

Meanwhile, Doosan announced Raul Alcantara as its starting pitcher on the day. Kim Jin-wook will step up for Lotte.
