Is it a bunt or a strong ball.

I'm so curious. A choice that could determine the fate of the Samsung Lions and KIA Tigers. How will Samsung manager Park Jin-man conclude.

The remaining game of the first game of the Korean Series between Samsung and KIA will be held at Gwangju Kia Champions Field at 4 p.m. on the 23rd.



In the first game held on the 21st, Samsung led Kim Hun-gon's first shot in the top of the sixth inning, and the game was suspended due to rain, with no outs and a chance for first and second base due to the turmoil of KIA bullpen Jang Hyun-sik. As the rain showed no signs of stopping, the decision to suspend the Korean Series was eventually made for the first time in history.

The game was supposed to be held on the 22nd, but the stadium was in a mess There was another rain forecast in the evening, so the first and second games of Suspended were eventually postponed. And the rest of the first game of fate will be held.



Game 2 is important, but we have no choice but to pay attention to the first game right away. In particular, Samsung is more sensitive. I got a chance to win. One win and one loss away is a huge success. Now that the first game has come, we should not even think about the second game and play 'all-in' in the first game.

It's Kim Young-woong's turn to bat with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. If KIA thinks it has to overcome this crisis, it is obvious that it will release the strongest pitcher. There is also a chance that he will take out his left-hander card in line with left-hander Kim Young-woong.

What draws attention is Park's choice. It's a strong ball or a bunt. KIA's scariest 28 home run slugger. If Kim Young-woong connects or solves the chance, big innings is also possible. However, we are not in a situation where we want to take a big shot. Even if you give up one more point, you can keep two points with a bullpen fight. In fact, it is a bunting situation just by looking at the situation itself. Also, if Jang Hyun-sik was in a situation where the atmosphere was coming toward Samsung at the time, it would be good to push ahead with the strong ball, but it seems not bad to go toward a clear chance as it is completely new and becomes a new play ball. It should also be taken into account that the next batter is Park Byung-ho, who has a strong slugging power.

However, Kim Young-woong is not good at bunt. If you really want a chance with one out and runners on the second and third bases, you can also think of a bold substitute card. You can put in a player who performs well in the operation.
