Game 4 of the playoffs between the Samsung Lions and the LG Twins is scheduled to be held at 6:30 p.m. on the 18th at Jamsil Stadium. Samsung has announced Denny Reyes, who became the winning pitcher in the first game, and the LG Twins have announced Detrick Ens as the starting pitcher.
However, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who won Game 3 1-0 the previous day, is raining heavily at Jamsil Stadium as hoped.
In Game 3, Lim Chan-kyu blocked five ⅓ innings with three hits, one walk, and four strikeouts, followed by closer Elizer Hernandez, who took the mound and sprayed 60 pitches in three ⅔ innings, preventing two hits, one walk, and five strikeouts and keeping the win 1-0.
Asked whether Hernandez will take the mound in Game 4 on the 18th after the game, Yeom said, `I can't come out tomorrow. It's raining tomorrow. I only believe in that. I believe in the Meteorological Administration. "I considered the rain forecast even before the game. If it hadn't been for rain, I'd have him throw it separately with ENCEHe said he had Hernandez thrown for a long time in anticipation of the rain forecast and the rain cancellation of Game 4.
Coach Yeom continued, `If it rains and takes a day off, I'll check Hernandez's physical condition, but wouldn't he be able to take the mound?' and if Game 4 is held on the 18th because it doesn't rain much, Hernandez rests.'
Rain began to fall around 12 o'clock at the gym room stadium, and the raindrops gradually became thicker. Jamsil does not put a large tarpaulin, but only puts a tarpaulin on the mound and the soil, including the groove, in the infield, so all the grass parts are supposed to be wet. Most of the rain falls out quickly because the drainage facility is well-equipped, but it will take a lot of time for the rain to fall out no matter how well the drainage facility is.
In addition, the Korea Meteorological Administration's current forecast shows that it will continue to rain until 3 a.m. the next day. In particular, it is predicted that a lot of rain will fall before the game, so the ground condition is not expected to be good for the game.

It is rather fortunate that Reyes, who threw 101 in the first game, can take a five-day break. Initially, I was worried that Reyes would be able to pitch well if Game 4 was held when he threw 101 after a three-day break, but as the second game was pushed back a day due to rain, he took the mound after a four-day break. If it is pushed back a day by rain until Game 4, Reyes will have five days of rest, allowing him to throw with enough rest as he did during the regular season, which can be expected to be the same as the first game.
