"The timing was good."

Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung said it was a rain that fell during his winning streak, but he was glad to see it.

Lotte will play three consecutive weekend games against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th. Lotte, which had won four consecutive games, was able to challenge for five consecutive wins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th, but failed to play due to the sudden downpour before the game.

Usually a team on a winning streak wants to keep playing. The recent opponent, the NC Dinos, was not in a good flow, so he was able to look at the sweep.

Director Kim said, `When it rains, we have to accept it as it comes. You must not disobey the will of heaven," he said with a smile. Then "The timing was good. Both teams also had a long journey" he said. Lotte moved from Busan to Suwon and NC to Jamsil. The most difficult schedule is to leave after the game and arrive between 3 and 5 a.m., so you can't sleep properly, but Lotte's team arrived early and took a rest.

On top of that, the starter could also be replaced. Originally, the game on the 8th was the turn of alternative starter Lee Min-seok, but the game was canceled, allowing Park Se-woong to be deployed in the KT match according to the original rotation. This is also an advantage that Lotte has enjoyed from rain. Head coach Kim said "Lee Min-seok plans to use it by waiting in the middle and then going back in when there is a spot in the selection in the future."
