A mistake through a two-point lead that changed the flow...Coach Lee Kang-chul "I gave up the game on one mistake"

KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul had his first bitter taste in baseball this fall.
KT ended its winning streak in the fall with a 2-7 loss in the second semi-playoff game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 6th. It was one win and one loss before the semi-playoff.
KT scored the first run with Hwang Jae-kyun's timely hit in the second inning and added a score in the third inning, but failed to block LG's offense from the third inning and collapsed. In the process, four fatal errors came out, forcing the game to be difficult.
Starter Um Sang-baek pitched well until the second inning, but was sluggish with four runs in four innings, shaking from the third inning. As the flow of the game flowed toward LG on the day, coach Lee appeared to be preparing for the third game by saving major must-win resources. KT's Game 3 is 'LG Killer'Benjamin. The following is a question and answer session with coach Lee after the game.
-The game was decided early.
▶It was a good flow, but an error came out and the game was given away like that. I'll take a day off and prepare better.
-What are your plans to use pitchers in the future.
▶If I win Game 3, I'll think about whether I should put Ko Young-pyo after Cuevas in Game 4 or prepare for Game 5. First, we have to look at the results of Game 3.
-There were four critical errors.
▶You've done so well so far. It can lead to poor concentration as it is difficult to play for several consecutive games. Still, Woo Kyu-min throws well, which will help the bullpen. There is also something I got. The plan to use the intermediate bullpen was ambiguous, but Woo Kyu-min was good, so I think I have another card. Chun Sung-ho also looked in good condition. Since Kim Sang-soo played after shaking off his injury, he seems to be able to enter the next game more comfortably.
-The third round selection is.
▶As I told you, it's Benjamin.
