'It's raining again?' KS 1st round champion 'Autumn Rain' forecast, Samsung's expectations, KIA's disappointment
Oct 20, 2024

Autumn rain is a variable.
There's a rain forecast just before the game starts.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast, rain will begin around 5 p.m. on the 21st. The good thing is that it's not a very large amount in the forecast.
However, the variable is that it is not a rain that will stop. Rain is expected to fall steadily to 1mm Anpak and gradually rain from late at night.
The problem is that rain clouds are sure to come. The possibility of a lot of rain early during baseball games cannot be ruled out.

However, due to the ever-changing weather, the economy can be a variable if it rains or if it does not, it can be a variable.
If it becomes a rainy day, it will be a welcome rain for the Samsung Lions, who came up after the playoff battle.
Above all, main catcher Koo Ja-wook, who returned home on the 18th after receiving treatment in Japan for a knee injury, can earn time to recover. Reyes, who pitched 110 pitches in Game 4 of the playoffs on the 19th, can also earn another day off.

As left-hander Lee Seung-hyun joined the bullpen, Hwang Dong-jae, who did not have much experience, played the role of the third starter. In Game 3, he pitched a surprise three scoreless innings, but it is hard to expect him to play more than five long innings.
It will depend on Lee Seung-hyun's convertible role, but for Samsung, which actually operates the starting lineup centered on one-two punches, how much Won Tae-in-Reyes can take the mound can be the key.

However, the worst is the suspension during the game. If the game is canceled before the fifth inning after the start of the ace Won Tae-in's mound game, it will be the worst situation that neither Won Tae-in nor Reyes can use in the postponed game. It could only result in warm-ups for KIA players, who will be losing their sense of play due to a long break.
KIA Tigers players, who have accumulated enough physical strength after a long wait, are not expected to be very happy with the first game rain.
It's not beneficial to take another day off This is because wet ground may also pose a risk of injury while the sense of practice is poor.
There were two rainy days during the Samsung-LG playoffs. Games 2 and 4 were played after a rainy season. Samsung won all of them and advanced to the best stage. Will the unpredictable fall rain be a variable in the Korean Series.
