In order to dream of a miracle in 2013, a series of 'unfortunate' coincides with 'Baseball doesn't know' is the answer

After two consecutive losses in Gwangju, he came down to Daegu and seemed to start a counterattack with four home runs in Game 3. However, ace Won Tae-in, who believed in Game 4, was forced to 1 win and 3 losses as he took the mound early due to shoulder pain.
Starting on the 28th, the team must win all the 5, 6, and 7th games in Gwangju to win the upset championship.
The situation is not very good.
Samsung has been running the starting lineup since the playoffs as Wontae Reyes two-top. During the playoffs, he advanced to the Korean Series by winning the two starting games.
However, the best-of-seven Korean Series was different. It was hard to hold out with just the two Wontaein Reyes. Reyes, who pitched 110 pitches in Game 4 of the playoffs, could only appear again in Game 3 of the Korean Series.
Bad luck overlapped.

Won Tae-in had to be forced to hit the steel plate after 66 pitches and 5 innings, and the atmosphere turned around. Two days later, they lost 1-5 in the suspended game. The second game, which followed the shock, was also heavily defeated 3-8.
Game 3 was played in Daegu. Reyes seemed to save Samsung again by overturning the regular season record that was weak against KIA and leading the team to a 4-2 victory with seven innings of one run (non-earned) and 107 pitches.
However, Won Tae-in, who took the mound in Game 4, went down the mound in two ⅓ innings due to shoulder pain, and dark cloud hung over him.
It is not impossible to have a miracle in 2013, when he won with three consecutive wins after falling behind Doosan Bears with one win and three losses. However, the team's morale has declined due to Won Tae-in's injury, and the physical consumption of the fielders, who have been playing since the playoffs, cannot be ignored.
Even with full strength, KIA, which has a physical advantage, was dominant in Games 5, 6, and 7.

Game 5 is a showdown between Yang and Lee Seung-hyun as left-handers. Samsung, which has no tomorrow, will have Hwang Dong-jae and all bullpen on standby. If he wins, a pitcher who can throw even a little longer among the players who did not take the mound on the day must start Game 6.
Conor Seabold, who left due to an injury at the end of the season, cannot help but be reminded.
The long-awaited Korean Series, which can't give up hope until the end. The frustrating situation brought about by bad luck is a clear reality. The determination of 'Judge Lee, who has been shouting since the playoffs, is urgently needed.
