Even though LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's bullpen's best card, Eliaser Hernandez, was postponed due to rain, chances are high that he will not be able to take the mound in Game 4 on the 19th.
Coach Yeom said in an interview on the 18th, `It's good to be postponed a day because new cards that can be fought are made in a good way.' However, regarding Hernandez's condition, `I think I have to think carefully tomorrow because I have symptoms of clumping. I have to check again tomorrow, but there is a high probability that I will rest."
Hernandez took a five-day break after taking the mound in Game 5 of the semi-PO on the 11th and took the mound after taking the mound in Game 5 of the PO against Samsung in Jamsil on the 17th, keeping the win 1-0 with two hits, one walk and five strikeouts in three ⅔ innings. Throwing 60 pitches, he can't take the mound in Game 4 the next day, but there was an expectation that he might be able to take the mound if he took a day off.
However, maybe because he sprayed a lot of balls strongly as a bullpen pitcher, a phenomenon of clumping occurred, and he checked again on the 19th and saw the situation.
However, Yeom is preparing a new card to replace Hernandez.
Coach Yeom said, "Losing the second game made me live every day" Since it's the last game, I'll check the condition of the player I can play and if it's okay, I'll play as many cards as I can to win."
At this point, the only new card that can be thrown as a day off is Son Joo-young, who came out as a starter in Game 2. Son Joo-young started the second game on the 15th and allowed five hits, two walks, five strikeouts and four runs (three earned) in four ⅓ innings, becoming a losing pitcher. At that time, the number of pitches was 93. If he plays in the middle of the game on the 19th, he will take the mound after three days of rest. I think it could come at an important moment, if not a lot of innings.
Asked if Son Joo-young would be able to take the mound, manager Yeom could be "," he said positively. It can be interpreted as a sign that he will check his physical condition on the 19th and put him on the mound if it is okay.
Coach Yeom stressed that it is important to win in Game 4 somehow because if you win Game 4, Hernandez can go out again in Game 5.
