LG coach Yoo Ji-hyeon “Considering Lee Min-ho after the starter Lee Woo-chan”

Reporter Seongdae Moon=LG Twins coach Yoo Ji-hyeon vowed to win the rivalry.

LG will play a home match against the Doosan Bears in the ‘2021 Shinhan Bank Sol KBO League’ to be held at Jamsil Stadium at 6:30 pm on the 30th. .

Today’s match is drawing great attention as it is a match between 3rd place LG (61 wins, 5 draws and 48 losses) and 4th place Doosan (58 wins, 5 draws and 53 losses). The two teams also showed a back-and-forth record with 5 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses this season.

Doosan once had a risk of falling to 8th place, but eventually climbed to 4th and pressed LG by 4 games.

LG, which recorded 9 wins, 3 draws, and 11 losses in September, can get away from their opponent’s pursuit to some extent if they catch all of their two consecutive matches against Doosan.

Foreign pitcher Andrew Suarez, who is adjusting his condition due to injury, is about to return, so he can hope for an increase in power. Both Lee Woo-chan and Lee Min-ho are expected to be put in. If there comes a situation where you have to throw a win, the plan is to put Lee Min-ho right after the starter Woo-chan Lee.

Manager Yoo said, “I’m careful because the strategy is exposed, but I’m going to go two-track today. Lee Min-ho I can go out in the middle of today. I have a double header next week, so I’m considering various things. Depending on the situation, I will put in Lee Min-ho.”

Then, “The starting lineup depends on whether Lee Min-ho appears today or not. The schedule will be decided. We will decide to put in Lee Min-ho based on the situation of our pitching rather than the opponent’s batting order.” “You have to manage your pitcher well. Fortunately, Suwarez can enter the starting rotation after next week. I think it will be helpful to manage the mound if Suwarez comes in.”

Regarding the part where the remaining schedule became difficult due to the cancellation of the game, he said, “I wished that the game could proceed normally yesterday. I had a discussion with the pitching coach about what to do if it was canceled because it rained yesterday.”

Finishing Ko Woo-seok was also evaluated.

Coach Yoo said, “Go Woo-seok continued to be good throughout the season. It seems that there were three bad results. I can’t fail once in a year. The worst thing in the second half was probably fatigue from the Tokyo Olympics. It must have been hard physically and mentally, but fortunately seeing how I overcame it, I thought I had the courage to become a president in the future.”
