Game 2 of the semi-playoff between the LG Twins and the KT Wiz will be held at Jamsil Stadium on the 6th. KT's victory in the first round. It is an important match whether it is LG's counterattack or KT's continued rise.
However, there was a pre-match variable. During a recent daytime game, Jamsil Stadium seemed to be playing summer baseball in the hot sun. However, this day was cloudy and cold from the morning.
And rain clouds began to gather from the West Sea. A fairly large cloud is covering the entire Korean Peninsula. And a rain cloud also arrived over Jamsil around 1 p.m., an hour before the start of the game.
Although there is not much precipitation yet, there is a possibility of heavy rain according to weather radar information. The forecast, which was not originally available, also changed to rain by 4 p.m.
If there is not much rain, the game will be held normally, but if the game is difficult due to heavy rain, all schedules will be pushed back by one day.
If it is canceled, it will inevitably be advantageous to KT from below. Starting pitchers can rest for another day and play, and bullpen pitchers such as Park Young-hyun, who threw a lot, can also take a good rest. Of course, it is important to save the physical strength of the fielders.
KT foreshadowed Benjamin as the starter for Game 3. He came out in Game 2 of the wild card game against the Doosan Bears, and he is exchanging seats with Cuevas, who took the mound in Game 1. Manager Lee Kang-chul explained that Benjamin is also an LG killer, gives Cuevas a break with more than 100 balls in all games, and that he considered matchups with the Samsung Lions if he makes the playoffs in the future.
On the contrary, LG, which was waiting above, is not expected to change much in the rotation despite the rain. However, it is good to see that Hernandez, who pitched two innings in Game 1, takes a rest.
