The 100 percent winning rate is Yum Liang. But I don't believe it. "There is no 100% in baseball. It's funny because there are a lot of variables"

The LG Twins won Game 3 of the semi-playoff 6-5, taking the advantage with a 2-1 series victory. There have been six cases of 1 win and 1 loss in the semi-playoffs of the best-of-five series, of which all the winning teams in Game 3 have advanced to the playoffs. Since LG won Game 3, it can be said that it has a 100% winning rate.
However, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop did not believe in a 100 percent chance. Ahead of the fourth semi-PO game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th, manager Yeom said "It's true that we're in an advantageous position" but there's no 100% in baseball. Baseball doesn't have 100% probability. Baseball is recognized as being good even if it's only 30 percent." Batters can earn a lot of salary by playing as the main player even if they hit only three times out of 10 times and hit a batting average of 300.
In the wild card game, KT Wiz finally broke the 100% probability of the fourth-ranked team entering the semi-PO for nine years from 2015 to last year this season. Now, the fourth-place team's chances of advancing to the semi-PO in the wild card match have fallen to 90%.
Manager Yeom continued "Baseball is fun because there are many variables."It's just a probability. I'll try my best to win, but baseball doesn't go as I thought. I just wish you all the best," he said, expressing his determination for Game 4.
LG's starter on the day is Detrick Ens, who threw in the first game. During five ⅓ innings, he became a losing pitcher with five hits (one homer) with two walks, six strikeouts and three runs. Ence, who threw 87 pitches at the time, will fire up his fighting spirit to start again after three days off.
Director Yeom said, "I want ANS to throw as long as possible."If Kim Jin-sung and Yoo Young-chan are waiting, Hernandez will also be out. If you lose, it will be a bullpen operation with Ham Deok-ju and Baek Seung-hyun," he said of his mound plan.
On Hernandez, who threw 27 balls in the first game and 38 balls in the second game, and also took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning and made a save in the third game after a day off, manager Yeom suggested that he take the mound in an important situation when leading.
Coach Yeom said, `If a big crisis comes while winning, Hernandez may go out first then. If it's a save situation, he can start with two outs in the eighth inning," he said, expressing his firm confidence in Hernandez.
Moon Bo-kyung, who had no hit until Game 3, still started as the fourth batter on the day. Director Yeom said, `I think I'm going to hit it todayHe still did not let go of his expectations for Moon Bo-kyung.
