"There is no reason to push ahead at all."

Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung expressed his opinion that baseball should not be played in an unreasonable environment for two consecutive days.

Lotte was scheduled to play three consecutive weekend games against the LG Twins at Ulsan Munsu Stadium, its second home, from the 2nd.



However, he failed to play his first game on the 2nd. It was because of the heat wave in Ulsan. It was breathtakingly hot, and the geothermal heat from the artificial turf was enormous.

Ahead of the game on the 2nd, head coach Kim said "I don't think we're playing in this situation" LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also said, `To play on artificial turf in this weather is to die.' In the end, game supervisor Huh Sam-young decided to cancel the first first team game heat wave in KBO history.

It's hot on the 3rd, too. However, it was a little cloudy and windy, so the temperature was slightly lower than on the 2nd. So Manager Huh is preparing for the game normally for now.

However, coach Kim said "It's still hot. I wonder if there's a reason to push ahead with the game like this. There needs to be a good reason to proceed with the game, and the situation now seems to have no reason at all."

Coach Kim then clearly expressed his opposition to the excessive enforcement of the game, saying, `It is not only the players' problems, but the employees who work in the stadium for the game are also exposed to danger.'

Coach Yeom also talked for a long time after arriving at the stadium. In the meantime, spectators began to enter. Currently, Munsu Stadium is repeatedly cloudy and sunny.
