Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop expressed regret over the painful loss in the first round of the wild card game.
Doosan lost 0-4 in Game 1 of the wild card game against KT Wiz at Jamsil Stadium on the 2nd, unable to overcome the shock of allowing four runs due to starter Kwak Bin's difficulty in the first inning.
Doosan advanced to the postseason in fourth place and received a one-win advantage, but lost the first game and was in danger of being set up for the first wild card game.
Coach Lee threw a winning move to quickly put in Balazovic in the second inning due to Kwak Bin's disturbance, and succeeded in changing the atmosphere with Balazovic's good pitching. However, the lineup collapsed without any strength in KT starter Cuevas' hard pitching. In the 6th inning of Cuevas, the power of Kim Min, Son Dong-hyun, and Park Young-hyun, a must-win group, was enough to block Doosan's batters.
Doosan put in Choi Won-joon, who was one of the starting candidates for the second game. Therefore, Choi Seung-yong will take the mound as a starter in the second game. The following is a question and answer session with coach Lee after the game.
-The general evaluation of the game is.
▶ It started hard with four points in the beginning. Kwak Bin, who he believed in, showed difficulty in the early stages and lost a point and had no choice but to solve the game. Cuevas gained confidence.
-Can Kwak Bin take the mound tomorrow.
▶There is a good chance. If you lose tomorrow, this season is over, so all pitchers have to prepare. Balazovic can also be on standby.
-Yang Eui-ji's condition is.
▶I think I'll have to check my condition when I come out to the playground tomorrow.
-The clean-up trio was sluggish.
▶Unfortunately, the damage is like that. The batters are sometimes sluggish and sometimes burst. I think Cuevas's ball was good. I had chances in the first and third innings, but I was defeated by Youngbong because I couldn't take advantage of it, but the hit was sluggish today because there was a cycle, so I think we should look forward to tomorrow.
-Choi Seung-yong will be selected tomorrow.
▶I made a decision at the end of the season. No matter which team came up, the second game was Choi Seung-yong. I hope you pitch well so that it doesn't give the atmosphere at the beginning of the game. A lot of players are on hand. I'll make it possible to win in an all-out war.
