The national team's ace left and right, made by rain cancellation, matchup of fate...Samsung's Ando, LG's Big Smile, and Manager Ryu Joong-il are also paying attention

The second playoff game between Samsung and LG, which was scheduled to be held at Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th, was canceled due to rain. As a result, the playoff schedule will be postponed by one day. Game 2 will be held at 6:30 p.m. on the 15th at Lions Park.
At a press conference before the rain was canceled, Samsung coach Park Jin-man said "If the rain is canceled, tomorrow's second game selection will go to Won Tae-in as it is."
It's a natural decision with no choice.
Won Tae-in is Samsung's unrivaled ace without a corner.
This season, he won the most games with 15 wins, 6 losses and 3.66 ERA in 28 games. He also has the best ERA among native starters.
There can be no other choice for Samsung.
There is only one thing that director Park Jin-man was concerned about. "The worst situation is when you have to play tomorrow with a starting pitcher when you enter the game in the midst of rain." He was most wary of cancellation during the game.
Samsung, whose corner is out due to injury, should definitely take the lead when Reyes Won-tae, one-two punch, steps up. It would be the worst if the game Won Tae-in threw was canceled due to rain in the middle. Fortunately, the cancellation of the rain was decided first before the game. Why Samsung was able to feel relieved.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met with reporters immediately after the decision to cancel the rain, said, `As soon as he entered the press conference, the starting player changed from ANS to Son Joo-young," he said first. A very bright expression as opposed to the dark weather caused by rain.
deserve a big smile. Son Joo-young is LG's best starting card against Samsung.
Son Joo-young, the biggest hit product on the LG mound this season, had an ERA of 9 wins, 10 losses and 3.79 in 28 games. He ranks second in ERA after Won Tae-in. However, his opponent is ahead of him.
Son Joo-young showed strong performance against Samsung with two wins, no losses and an ERA of 1.04 in three games. Won Tae-in's performance against LG was one loss and a 4.09 ERA in two games.
In the first place, he wanted to write in the second game, but he was blocked by the opinion that "it was premature in the training part" and postponed it to the third game. He needed a break in the aftermath of the semi-playoff against KT. Coach Yeom announced Son Joo-young's selection for the second game after the cancellation of the rain, saying, `I thought it would be nice to go to Joo-young when it rains, and I got an OK from the training part," he said with a smile.
Son Joo-young's appearance in Game 2 means that he will soon be able to start Game 5, the final game of the series. If it wasn't for rain, Choi Won-tae, who allowed five runs in three innings after hitting two home runs in Game 1, had to play again in Game 5.

Won Tae-in is the pillar that should protect the starting mound of the national team, which even Moon Dong-ju is absent. Son Joo-young is a left-hander ace who will be put into the game that requires left-handed selection among the left-hander reserve entries (Oh Won-seok, Lee Byung-hun, Kwak Do-gyu, and Kim Jin-wook).
Ryu Joong-il, the coach of the Korean national team who watched the first match at Lions Park, made a matchup of starting players in the second match that he must watch. Autumn rain has created an ace player match for the national team.
