"I'm jealous."

Samsung coach Park Jin-man is playing in the playoffs without a corner. He expressed envy of LG Hernandez's strong performance in the semi-playoff.

Asked how to attack Hernandez at a press conference ahead of the first playoff game against LG at Lions Park in Daegu on the 13th, Park said, `I envy you, I envy you that you played in all five games.' Then "We are missing a foreigner, so I hope the bullpen will overcome it well."," he added.

LG, which was worried about the bullpen, showed a winning move with Hernandez's bullpen card in the semi-playoff.

He took the mound five games ago, and made two saves and one hold to bring his team to the playoffs. The ERA was zero. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop praised and appreciated the semi-playoff MVP in his heart.

Hernandez is expected to be the core of LG's bullpen in this playoff.

He is expected to take the mound at a critical moment and face the Samsung batters. The key is Samsung's batting lineup, which is different from KT's batting lineup.

The bat speed of KT hitters, who came up after the fifth-place match and the wild card match, was falling little by little. On the other hand, Samsung's batters, who took a break for more than 10 days, can return fiercely if they regain their sense of practice as the series continues.

Samsung is the team's home run corps with 185 home runs. One decisive real fight can lead to irreversible consequences.

Hernandez, who is tired of the last five games, seems to have to pay special attention to corner work.

Hernandez has never pitched in a single game against Samsung this season. Given that unfamiliarity is unfavorable to others, it can be an advantageous factor.
