A sensitive issue for the KIA Tigers, what will happen to the Kiwoom Heroes' starting rotation.
KIA is gradually reducing its regular season winning magic number. Ahead of the game against the Lotte Giants on the 12th, the remaining magic number is very likely to win due to the 6. atmosphere, but head coach Lee Bum-ho and other parties have not let go of their tension.
KIA will take a break on the 13th and play two consecutive games against Kiwoom in Gwangju on the 14th and 15th. Kiwoom is the lowest team. In addition, he has an overwhelming advantage with 10 wins and 4 losses this season. If they catch both games, they can increase their chances of winning the championship at once.
However, the game between Kiwoom and the LG Twins, which was scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium on the 12th, was canceled due to rain. With the rainy season coming to an end, there have been few recent rain cancellations. However, on this day, the autumn rain soured the game between the two teams. The game was scheduled for the preliminary day on the 26th.
Kiwoom's starter on this day was rookie Kim Yoon-ha. Then, what will happen to Kiwoom's starting rotation. Will Kim Yoon-ha get a chance in the match against KIA in Gwangju, or will it be an all-out war.
The reason for the all-out war is that the next rotation is Furado-Heysus. The fear of one-two punch that all teams fear. KIA can be sensitive to Kim Yoon-ha, Furado, and Heisus.
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki responded, "(The two consecutive games of Gwangju KIA will be played by foreign players as scheduled. Kim Yun-ha is experiencing well. It's not bad that the order is delayed at least once. Foreign players have a routine that they have been doing. We're going in on that date."
Furado is 10-7 with a 3.25 ERA this season. However, he was sluggish with two losses and an ERA of 4.62 in four games against KIA. He also had two losses and a 7.94 ERA in two games in Gwangju.
Heyesus was weak with 12 wins and 11 losses and 3.59 ERA. Heyesus also showed weakness with two losses and 4.00 ERA in three games against KIA. However, Kia cannot relax its guard because it does not know when and how these players will be scratched.
