“It’s very burdensome.”
The rain caught up with me again. The Doosan Bears were scheduled to play an away game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 16th.
A large amount of rain fell starting this morning, and it turned into a torrential downpour about 3 hours before the start of the game. In the end, puddles of water formed all over the ground, and the decision was made to cancel due to rain. 토토사이트 The canceled game was scheduled for Monday the 18th.
Doosan’s ‘8-game series’ from the 17th to the 24th became inevitable.
Doosan has already felt the fatigue from Monday’s game. Since the game against the Busan Lotte Giants on the 2nd was canceled, the game was played on Monday the 4th. Among the misfortunes, the good news was that the Jamsil KIA game on the 4th was canceled, so we were able to enjoy a break, but it was difficult to completely recover from fatigue as we could not rest on the scheduled rest day.
At the same time, the starting rotation plan also went awry. Doosan tried to hire Kwak Bin, who joined the Hangzhou Asian Games team on the 23rd, twice: against KIA on the 17th and against Samsung on the 22nd.
Kwak Bin recorded 10 wins, 7 losses, and an ERA of 3.12 in 21 games this season, serving as a solid starter along with two foreign players.
We tried to use Kwak Bin as much as possible in the fierce ranking battle, but due to rain, the pitch date was pushed back, so he joined the Asian Games national team after making one pitch on the 18th.
Immediately after announcing the cancellation due to rain, Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “It’s very burdensome. We played a game on Monday in Busan and were scheduled to play another game on Monday, but it rained that time, so we couldn’t play a 9-game series. This time, it looks like there won’t be any rain for a while, so we have to play all 8 games.” “I think we need to rethink the pitching rotation
First of all, Raul Alcantara will appear on the 17th, and Kwak Bin will appear on the 18th. Afterwards, Jang Won-jun and Choi Seung-yong are being considered to pitch.
Jang Won-jun appeared as a starter in the first game of the doubleheader against Samsung on the 9th and played his part with 6 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 3 strikeouts, and 3 runs (2 earned) in 6 innings.
Choi Seung-yong, who was out of action due to a finger blister, showed good pitching sense by allowing 2 runs in 5 innings against Samsung on the 8th and 1 run in 5 innings against SSG on the 14th.
Coach Lee expressed his deep concern, saying, “Kwak Bin was unable to pitch on the 22nd, so we need a player to go to the national team to fill his spot. It looks like it will be a mess, so I think we need to reorganize it.”
