LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop declared an all-out war in the second round of the semi-playoff.
LG lost 2-3 in the first game against KT Wiz on the 5th as the lineup did not explode. In the second game, Lim Chan-kyu, who recorded three wins and no losses against KT alone, will be put forward.
Closer Yoo Young-chan, who was unable to play in the first game due to his father's injury, was able to wait as a closer in the second game, making bullpen management easier.
Director Yeom said "Youngchan came to the accommodation earlier than us yesterday and took a rest. We are preparing from the eighth episode today." He announced that he would put Yoo Young-chan in from the 8th inning if it was a close game as there were few bullpen resources.
Son Joo-young, who thought of putting it in if it tied the previous day, will also wait for the bullpen on the same day. Coach Yeom said, `Son Joo-young can go out to the middle today"I lost the first game, so I have to win the second game. There is a big difference between winning or losing the second game. "If we lose the second game, it means that there is no next time." He expressed his intention to make all-out efforts to win the second game.
Hernandez, who pitched two innings the previous day, is also scheduled to take the mound on the same day. Coach Yeom was not expected to exceed one inning on the day because he sprayed 27 balls, but his thoughts were different. The idea was to put everything into victory.
Coach Yeom emphasized the importance of the second game, saying, `If Hernandez can also win, even if he takes two days off, he throws multiple innings.'
Coach Yeom said, "I'll think about the batting order that didn't break out in the first game.", but he batted the same way in the second game. The starting lineup consisted of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (captor), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Moon Sung-joo (left wing).
Manager Yeom said, `If there was a batter in particular good condition, I could have changed it, but they were all similar…"I thought this batting order would be the best if we burst anyway. When it went back to normal, I thought this batting order was the one that can score the most and make big innings" he said.
