Game 4 of the playoffs between the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions, which was scheduled to be held from 6:30 p.m. at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 18th, was canceled by rain.
From the early morning of this day, a large amount of rain began to fall in the Seoul area. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecast also predicted that it would rain all day, which was exactly right. In the afternoon, the rain became thicker. It was impossible for players to conduct outdoor training normally. LG players, the home team, only warmed up lightly with indoor training.

Game 4 of the playoffs, which was canceled on the day, will be held at Jamsil Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 19th. The managers of both teams predicted Detrick Ens (LG) and Denny Reyes as starting pitchers in Game 4.
Whether there will be any changes in the Korean Series schedule will be known after watching the results of Game 4. Samsung is currently leading the series with two wins and one loss. If Samsung wins Game 4 on the 19th, the Korean Series Media Day in Gwangju will be held on the 20th as scheduled.
However, if LG wins Game 4, the schedule will inevitably be adjusted. If LG wins, it will be tied at 2 wins and 2 losses in the series, and an additional day off and game day of Game 5 are needed. In that case, LG and Samsung will play Game 5 on the 21st after a day off on the 20th.

In addition, how this rain will work for the two teams playing in the playoffs has emerged as a variable. LG and Samsung, which already had additional rest days due to one rain delay in the second game in Daegu.
LG can buy more rest days for starter Lim Chan-kyu, who pitched a scoreless 84 pitches in five ⅓ innings in Game 3 on the 17th, and Eliaser Hernandez, who pitched a perfect 60 pitches in three ⅔ innings as his second pitcher. Assuming that it leads to Game 5, the more rest days, the more pitcher cards you can use, so it's nice to take a break.

Koo Ja-wook was injured during the second game on the 15th, and the next day, he urgently went to Yokohama, Japan for two nights and three days of intensive treatment. Koo Ja-wook, who returns home on the 18th, has improved his knee condition, but it remains to be seen whether he will be in a condition to play immediately. Samsung felt Koo Ja-wook's absence in Game 3. Waiting for him to return to his perfect physical condition as much as possible, I don't hate the rain.
