“The fact that it came up is a miracle in itself!”

The face of former ‘Hulk’ director Lee Man-soo, whom I met after a long time, was full of smiles.

The Laos baseball team, led by former coach Man-soo Lee, held its first local training at the 2nd stadium of the Shaoxing Baseball Sports and Culture Center in Hangzhou, China on the 29th.

The head coach is Kim Hyun-min, former coach of Jinyoung High School. Although he was the leader of the players, Lee Man-soo himself was no different from a coach. He was busy training detailed hitting techniques with each player.카지노사이트

As former coach Lee has always said, the Laos players were overall young and had thin frames. Just looking at him training showed his lack of baseball experience. It was as he lamented, “Once you make a player, you quit baseball for the sake of making a living. Most of the players played baseball for 1-2 years.”

However, Laos achieved the miracle of breaking through the Asian Games preliminaries with such a poor player base. Although they lost 1-4 to Thailand, they beat Singapore 8-7 and took second place in the group. The team that was defeated by Thailand 0-15 in the Jakarta-Palembang tournament, which was their first appearance, has improved so much. The 10 years that former coach Lee had dedicated himself to promoting baseball in Laos since 2014 were a worthy miracle.

Realistically, the next step is difficult. Laos was placed in Group A along with Japan, China, and the Philippines.

Former coach Lee laughed, saying, “It would have been nice to meet Korea, but it’s a cold game from now on.” However, even in his jokes and laughter, the pride and satisfaction of looking at players who were like children touched the viewer deeply.

His dream is to spread baseball throughout the Indochina Peninsula in the future. Laos baseball, which General Manager Lee sowed, is just beginning.

On this day, Director Lee also had a nice meeting with Coach Ryu Joong-il, who leads the Korean national team. An original member of the Samsung Lions and a first-round pick in 1987, the two are seniors and juniors who have been in the team for 5 years.

Coach Ryu said, “It’s been a long time since I saw senior Lee Man-soo. First of all, congratulations on Laos’ first win, and congratulations on their first appearance in the Asian Games (finals),” he said, adding, “We talked about old times and had a very good time.”

Number of cases. This is a story we have often heard when considering Korea’s chances of advancing to the next round in various international competitions.스포츠토토

The Lotte Giants have recently won three games in a row and are maintaining their hopes of advancing to the semifinals.

7th place with 62 wins and 67 losses, a winning percentage of .481. There is a 3 game difference from the 6th place KIA Tigers (64 wins, 2 draws, 63 losses, 50.4% win rate), and a 3.5 game difference from the 5th place SSG Landers (65 wins, 3 draws, 63 losses, 50.8% win rate).

It is true that there are only 15 games left, and domestic aces Park Se-woong and Na Kyun-an, as well as outfielder Yoon Dong-hee, are missing for the Asian Games, so it is difficult, but we cannot just give up because we see an opponent who could catch up with a little more effort.

However, it is true that it is realistically difficult for Lotte to make it to the final five. Assuming that SSG has 6 wins and 7 losses in the remaining 13 games as of the 29th, recording 71 wins, 3 draws and 70 losses, Lotte must record 11 wins and 4 losses (0.733 winning percentage) in the remaining 15 games to win.

Even assuming that KIA and SSG finish with a .500 winning percentage, Lotte needs 10 wins and 5 losses to make it to .500 with 72 wins and 72 losses.

To sustain even this slim hope, a victory in early October is needed.

Lotte, which has 15 games left, will play 12 games against the LG Twins, who are in first place, with 4 games remaining. The relative record is not bad at 5 wins and 7 losses. There are 4 games left against Samsung, which is ahead with 7 wins and 5 losses. There are 3 games remaining against Doosan, who are ahead with 7 wins and 6 losses, and 3 games remaining against Hanwha, who are ahead with 9 wins and 4 losses. And they play one game against KIA, their leading competitor.

The most important teams are LG and Samsung, which have a lot left. If LG quickly secures first place, it could work to Lotte’s advantage. They will have games against LG on October 4th and 5th and 9th and 10th. Before that, the four-game series, including a double header with Samsung, over three days from October 1st to 3rd is the most important. If they can continue their winning streak in this four-game series, they can threaten KIA and SSG.

Although they are ‘tortures of hope’, when they see the fans coming to Sajik Stadium and cheering loudly, the players feel like they want to use all their strength to win. On the 29th, the day of Chuseok, 10,279 fans came to Sajik Stadium for the game against Hanwha and rejoiced at Lotte’s 9-1 victory. Lotte must run until the end.

The ‘ember’ that was thought to have gone out has come back to life.

The lead between 8th place Hanwha Eagles, 9th place Samsung Lions, and 10th place Kiwoom Heroes has been narrowed to two games. The trend can change in an instant depending on winning or losing streak. Both Hanwha, which has been in last place for three years in a row, and Samsung, which has never been in last place, are in a position to be very nervous.바카라사이트

Until early September, the lower rankings seemed to be roughly organized. Hanwha swept four consecutive games, including a double header with Heroes from September 8th to 10th. The gap between 8th place Hanwha, which had 6 consecutive wins, and 10th place Heroes, who had suffered 7 straight losses, widened to 7 games.

Samsung, ranked 9th, maintained a 4-5 game gap with the Heroes. Hanwha, which was on the rise, caught up with the Lotte Giants in 7th place by 2 games.

However, Hanwha’s upward trend did not last long. After 6 consecutive wins, they lost 10 (3 wins) in 13 games. We lost four games in a row twice. During the same period, Samsung had 4 wins and 6 losses, and Heroes had 4 wins and 1 loss. The Heroes, who had suffered an 8-game losing streak, won 4 games in a row.

With few games canceled due to rain, the Heroes have ample time to regroup. Since the game schedule is spread out, you can focus and give your all. Lotte Giants, NC Dinos, Hanwha, and SSG Landers were dealt blows to the Heroes one after another. Ace Ahn Woo-jin, foreign pitchers Ian McKinney, and Jeong Chan-heon are fierce despite being out for the season due to injury. We see the cohesion of Heroes again.

These days, heroes are the ‘Grim Reapers.’

Hanwha, which had run out of steam, suffered a 0-3 loss in an away game against Lotte in Busan on the 28th. He was suppressed by the good pitching of opposing starting pitcher Charlie Barnes. Barnes held Hanwha’s batting lineup to 4 hits and no runs through the 6th inning, striking out 9.

Hanwha’s starting pitcher Ricardo Sanchez pitched well, allowing 3 runs in 6⅓ innings, but the batting line was blocked. With two outs and two outs in the second inning, he had a chance with the bases loaded, but he threw it in vain. Lee Do-yoon retired with a missed swing and a strikeout. In the 6th inning, with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd base, Choi In-ho and Park Jung-hyun struck out in succession.

On the same day, Samsung defeated the first-place LG Twins 11 to 1. Heroes defeated SSG 4-2. 8th place Hanwha and Samsung are 0.5 games apart, and Samsung and Heroes are 1.5 games apart.

Currently, Hanwha does not have main guns Noh Si-hwan and Kim Tae-yeon. Noh Si-hwan joined the Hangzhou Asian Games national team, and Kim Tae-yeon ended the season due to injury. Since the 23rd, when the two players were out, they had 1 win and 4 losses in 5 games, scoring a total of 9 points. Less than 2 points per game.

The Heroes virtually gave up on competing for rankings after Lee Jeong-hoo went out of the season due to injury at the end of July. We are preparing for next season by giving opportunities to young players,Choi Won-tae, one of the key starting pitchers, was sent to LG and two prospects and a first-round pick in the rookie draft were received. Ace Ahn Woo-jin’s season ended with an elbow injury early this month. If you end up in last place due to the lack of two-hit main power from the Heroes, you will suffer fatal injuries.

 “It’s Taeyang senior, Wooram senior, and my turn.”

The Hanwha Eagles have not been able to establish ties with the national team recently. Until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2023 WBC, they were unable to produce a single athlete in a row. However, it is different at the Hangzhou Asian Games. This is because the core of the national team’s two-hitters are all Hanwha players.

Moon Dong-ju and Noh Si-hwan are the main characters.

Moon Dong-ju, who played his first full-time season this season, played the season with a limit of 120 innings. Although he failed to win the first 10 games in his debut, he recorded 8 wins, 8 losses, and an average ERA of 3.72 in 23 games and 118⅔ innings.

He joined the national team after three weeks of rest under Hanwha’s thorough management. He is bound to be in better condition than the players who played the game right before being called up to the national team.

And in the practice game against Sangmu, Dong-ju Moon appeared as Sangmu’s starting pitcher. He started with KKK with a fastball of up to 154km. He pitched powerfully in 3 innings, allowing 2 hits, no walks, 5 strikeouts, and no runs.스포츠토토

Coach Ryu Joong-il is considering Moon Dong-ju, along with Kwak Bin, as the starting pitcher for the match against Taiwan, which will be a watershed moment in the group stage. This confirms Moon Dong-ju’s position in the national team.

In the field, there is Noh Si-hwan. In 126 games this season, he has a batting average of 0.298, 31 home runs, 99 RBI, and a slugging percentage of 0.540, ranking first in home runs, RBI, and slugging percentage. There is only one RBI remaining in 30 home runs and 100 RBI.

I was able to get my timing right again when I hit a home run against Kiwoom on the 22nd, the day before the national team was called up.

However, in the practice game with Sangmu, he suffered a strikeout in all three at-bats, which was disappointing.

After completing all training and practice games in Gocheok, Moon Dong-ju and Noh Si-hwan departed on the 28th.

These are the players who asked fans for autographs and photos until the end. The sight of fans standing in line waiting for Moon Dong-ju and Noh Si-hwan’s autographs was also impressive.

Moon Dong-ju, whom we met before leaving the country, said, “It is true that coach (Choi Won-ho) helped me, so I have to do better. I have confidence, so I think I can do well and come back.” It appealed.

Regarding being mentioned as a starting candidate for the match against Taiwan, he emphasized, “I don’t know when I will play, but I plan to do my best and pitch. There are many good pitchers behind me, so if I throw my best every inning, I will get good results.”

Regarding the fact that so many fans came, he said, “It makes me think, ‘Am I this much of a person?’ I will do well and come back as many people have come. I will do my best so that I can be interviewed with a smile like this when I come back, and I will leave this mark on the gold medal to show you.” He also conveyed his unique determination.

Noh Si-hwan introduced that he received support from his team’s seniors. He said, “On the team, seniors Taeyang (2014 Incheon) and Wooram (2018 Jakarta) won gold medals. Now it’s my turn. The seniors had good energy, so I thought I would be able to win the gold medal. They cheered me on a lot. I came back with 4 consecutive wins. “I want to come,” he expressed his determination.

Around the time he hit nine home runs, Son Ah-seop (NC), who often made fun of Noh Si-hwan, also cheered him on. Noh Si-hwan said, “This time, you gave me your sincere support. I was touched. ‘My little brother, He said, ‘Have a nice trip and win a gold medal.’ “I’m leaving with great strength,” he said with a smile.

When Moon Dong-joo said that he was going to hold a ceremony by biting the gold medal, he showed his unity and said, “Then I will do the same.”

Noh Si-hwan’s determination is to win the championship. He said emphatically, “It’s natural. I will definitely come back with a win.”

Born on April 25, 1966. There is a player who was named to the team roster as an active player in his mid-50s, who is approaching his 60th birthday. He was born in 2004 and is a whopping 38 years older than the youngest member of the team. The main character is Eric Pappas (57), who previously played in the Major League of American professional baseball.온라인카지노

Pappas is playing for Greece at the 2023 European Baseball Championship held in the Czech Republic. He was given uniform number 8, and listed catcher and first base as his positions. He was also included in the coaching staff. He is in the game as first base coach. 

Greece, in Group A of the group stage, clashed with Spain, the Czech Republic, and Austria in turn. On the 25th (Korean time), they lost 1-14 to Spain in the first match of the group stage, and lost 0-14 to the home team Czech Republic on the 26th. They realized their limitations as they lost heavily to Spain and the Czech Republic, which are considered strong teams in Europe. On the 27th, he showed his fighting spirit and achieved his first win. They won 11-6 against Austria. Pappas did not play in all three games.

He joined the Los Angeles Angels in the 1984 draft and made his major league debut in 1991 with the Chicago Cubs. That year, he appeared in seven big league games, going 3-for-17 with a batting average of 0.176. He moved to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1993 and played in 82 games, posting a batting average of 0.276. The following year, he left a batting average of 0.091 in 15 games for St. Louis. In his major league career, he recorded 70 hits in 289 at-bats, a batting average of 0.242, 1 home run, 35 RBIs, 34 runs scored, 1 stolen base, an on-base percentage of 0.342, and an OPS of 0.640.

Pappas, who is of Greek descent, retired after playing in the minor leagues after leaving St. Louis and entered the path of a leader. While working as a coach, he was called up to the Greek national team ahead of the 2004 Athens Olympics. Afterwards, he served as a baseball academy and professional team coach in the United States, and was included in the Greek national team for the 2023 European Championships.

LG, the leader in professional baseball, reached the 80-win milestone and reduced its magic number for winning to 6.

LG defeated second-place KT in a consecutive professional baseball home game (double header) held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 27th.먹튀검증

LG, which won 4-0 in the first game, won 3-0 in the second game and recorded a season record of 80 wins, 2 draws, and 48 losses (winning rate of 0.625).

It has been 29 years since LG became the first professional baseball team to record 80 wins in a season since 1994, when it won the pennant race and Korean Series championship at the same time.

In the history of professional baseball, only one team, SK (now SSG) in 2019, was the first team to reach 80 wins in a season but fail to win the regular season.

At the time, SK had maintained first place since May 30, but on the final day of the season, Doosan tied with 88 wins, 1 draw, and 55 losses (winning percentage 0.615), and was pushed back to 7 wins and 9 losses against the team, and had to give up the regular league championship.

Coincidentally, the SK head coach at the time was Yeom Kyung-yeop, who is currently in charge of LG.

However, the probability that Coach Yeom will make the same mistake at LG this year is close to zero.

At that time, as of August 31, when SK recorded 80 wins (1 draw, 45 losses), it had to win 16 of the remaining 18 games (88.9%) to secure the championship on its own.

On the other hand, this year, if LG wins only 6 of the remaining 14 games (42.9%), the rankings cannot be overturned even if KT (10 games) and NC (16 games) win all future games.

In fact, psodds.com, which predicts the final rankings of the season through Monte Carlo simulation, updated LG’s probability of advancing directly to this year’s Korean Series to 100%.

In 2019, even when SK recorded its 80th win of the season, the probability of going directly to the Korean Series remained at 81.8%.

Coach Yeom said after the game, “These were the two most important games today, and I would like to praise our players for their concentration.”

On this day, double headers were held in Munhak, Changwon, and Daejeon.

In Munhak, where 5th place SSG faced 4th place Doosan, the first game ended in a 7-7 draw and the second game ended with SSG’s 6-3 win.

SSG was trailing 6-7 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 1, but Han Yu-seom (34) hit a 1-run home run to tie the game, and they were able to end the day undefeated.

SSG closing pitcher Seo Jin-yong (31) added a save in the second game, becoming the 10,000th saver in professional baseball history.

In Changwon, the home team NC first won 7-0 in the first game, and then KIA won 6-1 in the second game.

NC Koo Chang-mo (27), who was left off the final roster of the Hangzhou Asian Games due to an injury, took the mound as the team’s second pitcher in the first game, but felt pain while pitching in the top of the 8th inning and left the mound, and was eventually diagnosed with a recurrence of the injury.

On the other hand, KIA Lee Ui-ri (21), who was also unable to go to the Hangzhou Asian Games due to a blister, became the starting pitcher in the second game and recorded 3 hits and no runs in 7 innings, earning her 11th win of the season.

In Daejeon, visiting team Samsung first won 11-3 in the first game, and then Hanwha recorded a 4-0 win in the second game.

The KIA Tigers overcame the absence of two key hitters and defeated the league’s strongest ace’s challenge for 20 wins.카지노사이트

KIA won 6-4 against NC Dinos in the regular season of the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at NC Park in Changwon on the 26th. With this, KIA overcame the slump of 1 win and 9 losses in the last 10 games. They also escaped their second consecutive loss. The season’s record of 62 wins, 61 losses, and 2 draws prevented the team’s winning percentage from collapsing to .500. 

NC remained at 68 wins, 56 losses, and 2 draws. We tried to chase down 2nd place KT and shake off 4th place Doosan, but it wasn’t easy.

For KIA, Lee Chang-jin (right fielder), Ko Jong-wook (designated hitter), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Socrates (center fielder), Kim Seon-bin (second baseman), Lee Woo-sung (left fielder), Byun Woo-hyuk (first baseman), Kim Tae-gun (catcher), and Park Chan-ho (shortstop) were named to the starting lineup. . It was a lineup that clearly showed the absence of Choi Hyung-woo and Na Seong-beom from their season outs. 

For NC, Eric Peddy, who is trying to achieve 20 wins, is the starting pitcher. The starting lineup consisted of Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Park Gun-woo (right fielder), Martin (center fielder), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Oh Young-soo (first baseman), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), An Jung-yeol (catcher), and Kim Han-byeol (second baseman). Seo Ho-cheol, who hit a head shot against Doosan on the 24th, started today without having his entry canceled despite being diagnosed with a fractured nose bone. It was a starting appearance with fighting spirit.

It was Peddy who had his worst pitching performance of the season, allowing 8 hits, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts, and 7 runs in 3 innings against Gwangju KIA on the 31st of last month. Peddie must have been burning with revenge. And if he wins on this day, he could become the 22nd pitcher in KBO League history to win 20 games. In addition, the NC club was able to break the record for the most wins in a season (19 wins). Eric Hacker in 2015 and Drew Luchinski in 2020 recorded 19 wins.

Pedi regained his overwhelming majesty as always. After allowing 7 runs against KIA, he allowed 1 earned run and struck out 32 in 21⅓ innings. He started the first inning by striking out Lee Chang-jin with a grounder to third base and striking out Ko Jong-wook and Kim Do-young in succession. In the second inning, Socrates hit a fly ball to left field, Kim Sun-bin hit a ground ball to second base, and Lee Woo-seong hit a looking strikeout. In the third inning, Byun Woo-hyuk and Kim Tae-gun struck out in succession, and Park Chan-ho was caught by a grounder to shortstop. 3 perfect innings. However, starting from the 4th episode, Peddie’s luck ran out. And he allowed an unexpected blow.

KIA’s batting lineup was blocked by Peddie, but after one out in the 4th inning, Jong-wook Ko broke the ice by hitting a double to left-center field. He even had a chance to score with his first hit. In the ensuing 1 out, 2nd base, Kim Do-young’s missed ball landed in front of the center fielder, creating an opportunity with 1 out, 1st and 3rd base. Afterwards, Socrates hit a ground ball that missed, and went towards the first baseman, resulting in a fielder’s choice and scoring the first run. After breaking the perfect streak, he even succeeded in scoring right away. Although Kim Sun-bin retired with a double play in the ensuing opportunity with one out and runners on first and third base. However, it was meaningful to score the first run against the league’s best pitcher, Peddie.

On the mound, in a situation where the game had to be played in a double header schedule, Kim Geon-guk, who stepped in as a substitute starter, gave his all. He was recording an average of 8.31 (8 earned runs in 8⅔ innings) without a win in 4 games (3 starts) this season. After being released from Lotte in 2021, Kim Geon-guk, who had a chance to play again after a year of being an outcast, fought with all his might in the matchup with Peddie on this day.

They allowed a heavy hit to leadoff hitter Son A-seop in the first inning, but second baseman Min-woo Park was hit by a double play to get the game through the first inning. In the second inning, with two outs, Oh Young-soo hit a right-handed hit, but he guided Seo Ho-cheol to a ground ball to shortstop to get the game through the second inning. The third inning was a three-way inning. 

In the top of the 4th inning, the team scored the first run against Peddie. However, Kim Geon-guk immediately allowed the score to be tied. In the bottom of the 4th inning, leadoff hitter Park Min-woo hit a double, and then Park Geon-woo allowed a timely double to center field, immediately tying the score at 1-1. However, the team continued to block second base with no outs without allowing any additional runs. After completing his duties with 2 outs in the 5th inning, he came down from the mound. 4⅔ innings, 5 hits, 2 strikeouts, 1 run, 71 pitches. Before the game, coach Kim Jong-guk said, “It is not easy to have a bullpen day because there is a double header. “I think it will be of great help to the team if the replacement starters last at least four innings.” Kim Kun-guk gave his best effort to perfectly meet the expectations of the head coach.

NC Peddie went down after pitching 6 innings, allowing 3 hits, no balls, 4 walks, 8 strikeouts, and 1 run. The number of pitches is 94. It was powerful, but KIA’s batting lineup was stretched with their pedi in their mouths, preventing them from advancing until the 7th inning. No decision. When Peddy went down in the 7th inning, the KIA batting line responded immediately. NC had Ryu Jin-wook on the mound as the second pitcher.

KIA tapped Ryu Jin-wook. Leadoff hitter Socrates’ left-handed hit and Kim Seon-bin’s right-handed hit gave them a chance to reach first and third base with no outs. And Lee Woo-sung’s heavy, timely hit gave them a 2-1 lead again. Pinch hitter Park Jeong-woo’s sending bunt created an opportunity with one out and 2nd and 3rd bases, and Kim Tae-gun’s timely hit in the middle of the game added one more point. Opportunities continued. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd base, Chan-Ho Park hit a timely hit to right. Lee Chang-jin’s ground ball to third base led to a chance for runners on second and third base with two outs, and Ko Jong-wook’s ground ball to second base resulted in a throw error to first base, allowing two runners to hit home. Park Min-woo had to hang his head. He scored 5 points in the 7th inning alone, widening the lead to 6-1.

KIA followed in Kim Geon-guk’s footsteps and mobilized all of their bullpens. Kim Dae-yu (⅔ inning), Jang Hyun-sik (1 inning), Lee Jun-young (⅓ inning), Lim Ki-young (⅓ inning), etc. were brought in. We did our best to protect the lead. However, NC counterattacked late. In the bottom of the 7th inning, NC’s leadoff hitter Martin kicked up Jang Hyun-sik’s 146km fastball and fired a superior solo shot. 15th home run of the season. 

And Seo Ho-cheol, who appeared in a situation with no runners on 2 outs, hit Im Ki-young’s 128km slider and fired a solo shot to the left. He hit a home run in two consecutive games following the Doosan game on the 24th, when he suffered a fractured nose after being hit by a headshot. Season No. 4. It caught up to 3-6. 

From 9:08 to 18 minutes before the top of the 8th inning, the game was halted due to heavy rain for a while. In the bottom of the 8th inning, NC created an opportunity when leadoff hitter Kim Han-byeol reached base with a right-handed hit after 14 pitches. However, KIA mobilized Jeon Sang-hyun and Jeong Hae-young to block NC’s pursuit.

NC took the opportunity to reach 2nd and 3rd base with no outs against Jeong Hae-young in the 9th inning with Kwon Hee-dong’s single to left and Oh Young-soo’s double to left-center. However, Park Dae-on’s grounder to second base only resulted in one point. On this day, KIA secured victory by mobilizing six bullpens.

LG foreign pitcher Plutko, a troublemaker in the second half of the season, has begun preparations for a full-fledged comeback. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop announced that he would unconditionally throw at least once during the regular season and go to fall baseball.스포츠토토

Plutko was effectively the ace during the first half of the season. This is because first starter Casey Kelly continued to perform poorly. However, Plutko appeared in 17 games without missing the starting rotation, recording 11 wins, 1 loss, and an ERA of 2.21 in 102 innings. 2nd place in most wins in the first half, 3rd place in ERA.

In particular, he pitched well and had good luck, recording 10 consecutive wins in 15 games until June 24th. Plutko suffered his first loss of the season against KIA on July 1, allowing 5 runs in 4 innings, and entered the All-Star break with 1 win and 2 losses in the next 5 games.

But things didn’t go well for him in the second half of the season. On July 25th, his first appearance in the second half of the season, against KT, he had a quality start, allowing 3 runs in 6 innings, but became the losing pitcher. He was tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of his second appearance in the second half of the season. It was an emergency for LG. Fortunately, they filled Plutco’s void by recruiting starting pitcher Won-Tae Choi through a trade with Kiwoom.

After regaining his health and returning, Plutko pitched the next three games. He allowed 4 runs (loss) in 5⅓ innings against Samsung on August 15th, 1 run in 6 innings against SSG on the 20th, and 1 run in 4 innings against NC on the 26th. In the game against NC, which was his last appearance, he was replaced after complaining of discomfort in his thigh, and a hospital examination revealed that he had a bruised left pelvic bone. At the time of his injury, he was expected to recover in four to five weeks.

Now a month has passed. The timing of return must be announced. However, Plutco rarely gave a ‘YES’ signal.

Since last year, Plutko has been cautious about his physical condition. If she didn’t feel the least bit bad, she wouldn’t proceed. It’s frustrating for LG because they’re being too cautious. I understand the desire to prevent the injury from recurring, but Plutko did not move even though he gave a sign that he was okay during the training part.

This was the case last year as well, so this year we came out a little stronger.

Plutco ended the season early last year due to symptoms of phlegm at the end of the regular season. And at the same time as his rehabilitation, he prepared for fall baseball. He immediately started in the second game of the playoffs without any actual review, and he collapsed after giving up 6 runs (4 earned) in 1⅔ innings.

Because I have this experience, I don’t want to follow the same path this year.

Director Yeom Kyeong-yeop said, “First of all, we talked about 2 days, but we have to see how it progresses. We put pressure like that (2 days). But will it be 2 days? It will be delayed a bit. We put pressure on the earliest possible day. While preparing, I felt the same way. “You have to see it,” he said.

LG must play a 7-game series starting with a double header on the 27th. If Plutco does not perform as scheduled on October 2nd, a replacement must be appointed. If that happens, Lee Ji-gang will come in. Here, Director Yeom Kyung-yeop has another concern. He is also considering bringing in Kim Yun-sik after a four-day rest.

In any case, Plutko is guaranteed to pitch once during the regular season. Even if it’s not 2 days.

Coach Yeom said, “Plutko will throw once or twice. He has to pitch once during the season to enter the postseason. I have to check it so I can figure out what he’s lacking. Then, I can make up for it during the remaining time.” .

He continued, “We will definitely do the verification work. If we go into the postseason without that work, I will be anxious. Practice games and regular season games are different. There must be time to look at the throws and make a judgment.”

The presence of foreign pitchers is significant for LG, which is aiming to win the Korean Series. That is why Plutko must return to perfect physical condition. It could be the final puzzle to win.

 Roenis Elias (35, SSG) is a veteran with quite a long history in the major league. He is from Cuba and debuted in the major league in Seattle in 2014, winning 10 games (12 losses). He continued in 2015, where he recorded 5 wins in 22 games (20 as a starter).카지노사이트

No matter how long ago it was, it is not easy to find a title of 10 wins in the major league among foreign pitchers coming to the KBO League. Elias appeared in 133 games (54 as a starter) in his major league career, amassing a record of 22 wins, 24 losses, and an ERA of 3.96. But he was a player in his mid-30s, and the downturn of his career was clear. At that time, he was on the radar of SSG, which was looking for a foreign player to replace Annie Romero.

Expectations were vague. Still, expectations that he was an experienced player in the major leagues and pessimism that he was on the decline coexisted. In fact, there were many problems at the beginning of his joining. As a left-handed pitcher, he had the ability to throw 150 kilometers per hour. He was a pitcher who knew how to throw strikes. At least he wasn’t a pitcher who played ‘ball ball ball ball’.

However, his breaking ball was lacking. The difference in velocity between his fastball and changeup was small. The changeup was much faster than most other pitchers’ sliders. Other breaking balls were also lacking here. He was all fast. All the batters had to do was adjust the timing of the fastball. As a result, he was particularly vulnerable to right-handed batters. He was honest about the course and the type of pitch.

SSG coach Kim Won-hyung gave two orders. First, he ordered that there be a little more difference in velocity between fastballs and changeups. And I wish he would throw curveballs or other pitches more aggressively. However, there were many cases where he struggled because he could not easily digest the order. He was never just a stuck player, but it wasn’t easy for him to change everything at once.

However, Elias has now become the player who carries the fate of SSG. This is because he is in the best condition among the recent starting lineup and is also the player with the most strength remaining.

Looking at recent game results, Elias is throwing a very powerful ball. To put it simply, the evaluation is ‘I got a feel for it.’ Fastball velocity has become faster. It is thrown over 150km. Considering that he is a left-hander, he is powerful. It also targets the zone. Here, the proportion of curves continues to increase. Reduce the proportion of changeups and attack opposing batters with powerful fastballs and curveballs.

Elias has pitched 40 innings in his last six appearances and is continuing to pitch with an ERA of 1.80. Of his six appearances, he has only had one game in which he failed to last six innings, and only once has he allowed more than three runs. In his previous two appearances, against Doosan on the 14th, he pitched 8 scoreless innings, and in the match against LG on the 21st, he pitched 7 innings, allowing 1 hit and no runs, giving a great boost to the team. Currently, Guwi is the most reliable starter in the team.

Manager Kim Won-hyung, who is not very generous in evaluating pitchers, also gives a thumbs up to Elias’ recent pitching. Coach Kim said that Elias basically knows how to throw strikes, and by increasing the proportion of curves, he has become more difficult as an opposing hitter. Elias underwent elbow surgery in 2021, and over the course of two years, he is said to have gradually gained elasticity and improved sensation.

In any case, we must continue the way we are now until the end. It’s because of SSG’s team situation. SSG has been showing a clear decline in performance since August. Neither one is the problem. Every aspect is a problem. First of all, in this situation, we need to look at the selection first. The most ideal way is for the starters to be alive to plan a counterattack, win, and in that win, to calm the team spirit, take a breather, and revive the game.

Elias’s importance grew as his foreign pitcher, Kirk McCarty, was out for more than two weeks due to a right oblique muscle injury. If even Elias collapses, all future plans of SSG will inevitably collapse. After resting for four days, Elias takes the mound in an important game against Doosan in Incheon on the 26th and takes on the burden of one more game. As Elias also has a contract renewal, his remaining appearances are bound to be important.

 The Seoul Metropolitan Government, the KBO, and each club are forming a consultative body to resolve the controversy that arose over the replacement stadium that the LG Twins and Doosan Bears will use during the construction of the Jamsil Dome Stadium.스포츠토토

On the 18th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government unveiled its plan to create a world-class ‘Sports and MICE Complex’, including the reconstruction of Jamsil Stadium, currently used as the home stadium by LG and Doosan. Jamsil Stadium will be dismantled after the end of the KBO League season in 2025, and a 30,000-seat dome stadium will be built with the goal of opening in 2032. 

Jamsil Stadium is one of the representative stadiums that symbolizes Korean professional baseball. Along with Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park, it is a stadium that has been used as the home stadium of a professional team from the first year of professional baseball (1982) to the present. It is located in the capital city of Seoul, and has a vast size that is not at all inferior to major league stadiums. It is the only stadium with two professional teams. There are many attractive factors, including the fact that it is also used as a home stadium. 

However, since it is a stadium that has been used since the first years of professional baseball, there was also an evaluation that the stadium facilities were outdated compared to other newly built stadiums. In this situation, as the Seoul Metropolitan Government created a ‘Sports and MICE Complex’ in the Jamsil area, Jamsil Stadium also had the opportunity to be reborn as a 30,000-seat dome stadium. The construction cost is expected to be approximately 500 billion won.

The problem is that there is no suitable stadium for LG and Doosan to use during the construction period scheduled from 2025 to 2031. KBO, LG, and Doosan wanted to use the Seoul Olympic Main Stadium, which was decided to survive only after remodeling in the ‘Sports and MICE Complex’ plan, as a replacement stadium, but Seoul City was reluctant due to air smoke issues and fan safety. expressed. 

The period during which LG and Doosan have to use a replacement stadium is a whopping six years, which is not short at all. The Seoul Metropolitan Government proposed using other stadiums located in the metropolitan area, such as Gocheok Sky Dome and Mokdong Stadium in Seoul, SSG Landers Field in Incheon, and KT Wiz Park in Suwon, as replacement stadiums, but realistically, it is difficult for LG and Doosan to accept this proposal. 

Gocheok Dome is already being used as Kiwoom’s home stadium. Even if one of LG and Doosan reaches an agreement to use Gocheok Dome, the other team still has the problem of having to find a stadium. In the case of Mokdong Stadium, the national amateur competition is currently being held, and night games are not being held in the afternoon due to excessive noise in the surrounding residential area. It is also a burden for LG and Doosan, which are based in Seoul, to leave Seoul and go to Incheon or Suwon. 

After the announcement of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Jamsil Dome Stadium plan, baseball fans welcomed the news of the construction of a dome stadium, but expressed doubts about the issue of replacement stadiums for LG and Doosan. This is because the current announcement by the Seoul Metropolitan Government is practically the same as having no alternative at all. 

Recognizing these problems, Seoul City announced on the 25th that it had agreed to form a consultative body to discuss issues related to Jamsil Stadium’s replacement stadium. This consultative body includes Seoul Metropolitan Government, KBO, LG, Doosan, and experts in the construction and safety fields. 

The most ideal alternative for KBO, LG, and Doosan is to use the remodeled Seoul Olympic Stadium as a replacement stadium and secure a passage connecting the Sports Complex Station on subway lines 2 and 9 to the Seoul Olympic Stadium. However, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is opposed to adopting this plan on the grounds that there are concerns about safety accidents due to limited entry and exit routes for spectators, and that the construction period could be delayed by up to a year or more, so it is expected that it will not be easy to reach an agreement.  

There are still many hurdles to overcome, but Seoul City’s recognition of the replacement stadium issue and the formation of a consultative body can be the first step in resolving the problem. Attention is being paid to whether Seoul City, KBO, LG, and Doosan can find an alternative that fans can accept.
