Chaotic Korean Series, if KIA wins from behind, the winning team and the losing team will feel uncomfortable.

There has never been such an early part of the Korean Series. Suspended for the first time ever, and another day off. How will the weather representative change the flow of the Korean Series.

Game 1 of the Korean Series between the KIA Tigers and the Samsung Lions will be held again on the 23rd.



The two teams began their fate in the first round at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 21st. The event was even delayed due to heavy rain, but the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) tried to enforce the first game on the 21st, when the rain was fluctuating due to the rain forecast that continued until the next day.

And I faced an unexpected problem. In the top of the sixth inning, when Samsung led by Kim Hun-gon's first solo shot, KIA's second pitcher Jang Hyun-sik shook and stopped the game with no outs and a chance for first and second base.



The rain did not diminish, and the suspended declaration was eventually issued. With the KIA attack at the bottom of the sixth inning over, a 1-0 score should have been a rainfall cold, but since the game was cut off in Samsung's attack, the game should continue the next day for fairness.

The first suspended declaration in the Korean Series ever. There was a huge aftermath. In particular, Samsung had no choice but to stand up with it. Samsung took the lead, and stopped the game at the chance. It was to break the flow. Samsung starter Won Tae-in was able to throw about two more innings when looking at the pace and number of pitches, but he was forced to stop pitching in the first game.



It is not a problem to use the regulation of suspending. But Samsung fans should not have started the game at all if it was like this", "It rained a lot in the 3rd and 4th innings, but it didn't stop then, and as soon as Samsung scored, it stopped. If it continued to rain, we should have played until the end of the sixth inning" he insisted. It makes sense. Samsung manager Park Jin-man was also angry after the suspension of the first game, and Won Tae-in was also similar in precipitation in the 3rd, 4th and 6th innings" he expressed his conviction.

Game 1 of the Korean Series between the Young-Honam rivals with everyone's attention. From the KBO's point of view, if the game ended with a cold rainfall, it would have been inevitable to worry about the aftermath. However, there may have been no intention, but unfortunately, the situation is that the away team Samsung looks unfavorable, so it is inevitable. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho also predicted the remaining games of the first game, saying, `We hit the Samsung bullpen well (than Won Tae-in)."

As mentioned above, a decision that was not meant to favor a particular team, but was meant to be heaven's will, but was enough to be misunderstood. Let's say KIA will come from behind to win the game on the 23rd. This is also a skill, but there will probably be a huge backstory. Will Samsung be able to admit defeat cleanly. Will Kia, which won, be able to enjoy the joy of victory with pride.

Even so, Kia cannot let them lose, and it has become a very troublesome game. It can also have a big impact on the second game, where the results of this game are immediately followed.
