The LG Twins, who finished last month unfortunately, are aiming for a leap again.
LG suffered a sweeping defeat to the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on April 28-30 and fell from the lead to third place.
It was only 2,129 days after June 30-July 2, 2017 that KIA gave 3 consecutive matches at home.
To make things worse, the atmosphere in the team subsided as the central pitchers were shaken.
Closer Woo-seok Ko was removed from the first team again due to back pain about two weeks after returning from a shoulder injury.
Casey Kelly, who served as the first starter, is struggling with an average ERA of 5.66 with 1 win and 2 losses in 6 games this year. He has been sluggish in his last three games, allowing 12 runs (10 earned runs) in 17⅓ innings.
LG coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop emphasized to the players not to be swayed by a series of bad news.
Manager Yeom, who we met at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 5th, said, “Let’s think of the game that starts every month as the opening game. ‘I said,’ he said.
Putting the regrets of April behind and making a new start in May.
Fortunately, Director Yeom’s request seemed to work, and LG succeeded in rebounding by defeating NC Dinos on the 2nd and 3rd in a row.
Since then, the match on the 4th and 5th was canceled due to rain, and luck followed to reorganize the team.
Director Yeom said, “The beast and bullpen could have been overloaded, but thanks to the rain, they were able to get out of the way.”토토사이트
At the same time, referring to Lee Jae-won and Son Ho-young, who are returning from injuries, he said, “If you endure well in May, you will be able to see the game from June.”
However, Kelly’s sluggish performance is still a concern.
Director Yeom said, “There’s a lot of tracking data, but the biggest problem is control,” and said, “I’m making a ‘big inning’ for the opponent by giving up walks in the game.”
At the same time, he said, “How much to reduce walks from May is the most important point for Kelly to find stability.”
