LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop explained that there was nothing he could do about closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan's dedication to the final hit.
LG will play against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on the 12th. In the game against Kiwoom a day earlier, it collapsed by dedicating four points to the opponent in the eighth inning, which was 5-5.
In fact, it was a winning trend. The game, which had been pushed to 1-4, was overturned to 5-4. Although LG allowed a tie by giving up one run in the seventh inning, LG was in a situation to take the lead in the second half of the game.
However, Yoo Young-chan, the closer he trusted, collapsed. Strictly speaking, rather than Yoo Young-chan collapsing, he couldn't hold out in too difficult a situation. Ham Deok-ju's crisis with one out and a bases loaded. Yoo Young-chan seemed to become a hero by striking out Kim Tae-jin, but he was beaten by Song Sung-moon with a sweeping double. In a full count situation, he went head-to-head with a 151km fastball, and Song Sung-moon hit it as if he was waiting to make a direct hit to the center fence.
Recalling the situation the day before, Yeom said, "I couldn't help it. It was a situation where I had to throw a strike. It is the will of heaven, saying that the batter hit it well. "Baseball is that a good hit can go straight ahead, or a bad hit can be a hit," Yoo Young-chan said, stressing that he was not at fault.
Yoo Young-chan threw against the Lotte Giants on the 10th and Kiwoom on the 11th. Will he be able to take the mound if the match against Kiwoom is held on the 12th. Coach Yeom hinted at the possibility of taking the mound, saying, `I only threw 11 yesterday.'
However, it is unclear whether the game will be held or not because it is raining a lot at Jamsil Stadium, where the game will be held.
