Coach Yeom said ahead of the match against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 1st that he will be an entry that can win for the month of August"This is going to be an important month to run. It's a game-winning month." He declared an all-in.
Then "The batting line has been getting better since mid-JulyCoach Yeom said, `If the starting lineup is stable, we can do about 4 wins and 2 losses a week. If we are lucky enough to win back-to-back games, I think it will be the last game we thought of."
In fact, LG's biggest weakness is the bullpen. Manager Yeom said the starting lineup without talking about the bullpen when he declared an all-in in August.
There was a reason. This is because the Salvation Army is preparing.
Kim Jin-sung, who went down to the second division due to the SNS posting scandal, will return to the first division from the match against the Ulsan Lotte Giants on the 2nd. It was a shame that he was out for 10 days, but this incident gave Kim Jin-sung a time to look back on himself, and it was a time to rest physically, so it may help the team afterward.
And sidearm Park Myung-geun and left-handed setup man Ham Deok-ju are also preparing to return. Park Myung-geun was out in June due to back muscle damage, and Ham Deok-ju underwent pin fixing surgery in January due to a microfracture of the left elbow's parietal bone.
Kim Jin-sung, Park Myung-geun, and Ham Deok-ju also took the mound in a practice game against Hanil Jangshin University on July 31, when new foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez took the mound and threw one inning each.
Kim Jin-sung sprayed eight, recording a maximum fastball speed of 141km.
Park Myung-geun threw seven, recording a maximum of 144km, and Ham Deok-ju threw 11 to record a maximum of 137km.
Coach Yeom said, `Park Myung-geun is scheduled to take the mound in the second division game this weekend and could come to the first division as early as next week.' Ham Deok-ju is also expected to make a comeback in mid-August.
If the must-win pitchers return to the first team as manager Yeom thought, the starting pitcher, bullpen, and batting line can float the game with stable power.
