The LG Twins, who have confirmed the third place, will start preparing for autumn baseball in earnest.

LG secured the third place with a 14-5 victory over Incheon SSG Landers on the 24th and won a ticket to the semi-playoff.

LG is in third place after the No. 1 KIA Tigers and the No. 2 Samsung Lions.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was nervous about finishing fourth. The atmosphere is not good when you're at the top of the standings and then come down and play the postseason. "First of all, I've achieved the minimum goal. I have one more chance, so I want to make use of that opportunity."

LG will play a total of three regular-season games, including the game against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 25th. LG formed the starting lineup in the order of Lee Young-bin (striker), Choi Won-young (center fielder), Moon Sung-joo (left wing), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Kim Sung-jin (first baseman), Kim Min-soo (third baseman), Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman), Heo Do-hwan (captor), and Choi Seung-min (right wing). All of the main players, including Hong Chang-ki, Kim Hyun-soo, Oh Ji-hwan, and Park Dong-won, will take a break.

Yeom said, `I gave the individual and the training part a choice. Those who were tired were asked to rest, play if they wanted to play, and play as a pinch hitter if they wanted to play as a pinch hitter. However, Moon Sung-joo said, "I think I should run in the rehabilitation process."

Moon Bo-kyung is the player coach Yeom chose to give him the most rest. However, he was listed in the starting lineup as the fourth batter and designated hitter. Director Yeom said "He said he wanted to go out. So, he let him go out as a designated hitter, not as a third base defense. He's the player I want to give me the most rest, but I can't take it out. I put him in as the designated hitter."

Coach Yeom continued "Park Hae-min goes out as a logistical guard at the end. Hong Chang-ki said, "We have to rest for two games unconditionally" and added, "The best members will play against Daegu Samsung on the 28th, the last game of the regular season. Ahead of the postseason, he explained, "To check the sense of play."

Pitchers were also prepared for the postseason. Coach Yeom said, `Yoo Young-chan will throw one game and take one game off to find balance. There is also a view of practicing sliders against left-handed hitters. (Kim)Jinsung said he wanted to play one more game by tomorrow. Son talked to the training part and decided to give up 10 wins. They decided to throw one inning tomorrow and fill the regular innings. In the training part, I looked at it effectively for the postseason.

After the end of the season, the idea came out. Coach Yeom plans to take a day off on the 29th and go to Icheon on the 30th after the game on the 28th. In the postseason, rather than other parts, the hit should be made, so I will focus on the hit part and prepare. After that, I'll think about the physical part as well."
