lg coach Ryu Joong-il announced the same starting lineup as Yesterday ahead of the WildCard decision-making match against Help Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on November 2.
Casey Kelly Clarkson will be the starting pitcher, and Hong Chang-ki (middle fielder) - Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder) - Chae Eun-sung (nominated hitter) - Jordi Alba (first baseman) - Lee Hyung-jong (right fielder) - Oh Ji-hwan (Shortstop) - Kim Min-sung (third baseman) - Yoo Kang-nam (captain) - Jung Joo-hyun (2th baseman) have formed the batting line.
His willingness to play early and his belief in Jordi Alba, who returned from injury, remained the same; Jordi Alba flew the batting outfield several times in practice before Kyonggi. "I saw it well when I practiced," said Ryu Joong-il, who watched this scene. I sent a batting ball to the outfield, but I said, 'I have to hit well at Kyonggi now.'"
Ryu Joong-il cited the lead and how many starters throw as the Kyonggi watchpoint today; Ryu Joong-il said: "In short-term games, the lead is important. And how the starting pitchers throw depends on how they operate the follow-up pitchers. It's important (in our case) that Kelly Clarkson doesn't collapse early on," he said.
There was no change in the lineup as it was a day difference, but there was a change in the players who did not play. Yesterday misses Jung Chan-heon and Im Chan-kyu, but today Lee Min-ho is missing instead of Im Chan-kyu. Lee Min-ho's future start was also a promising story, but Ryu Joong-il did not give a definite answer and left it to the imagination of the reporters.
The most desired result for manager Ryu Joong-il was to beat Kyonggi today without too much time. Asked if Im Chan-kyu could be in Kyonggi today with the following of Kyonggi until the 15th (the postseason runs through the 15th) in mind, Ryu Joong-il said, "I don't want to go there."
"I thought I wanted to do a summerday Kyonggi," he said honestly. "I think it is the best scenario to win today and rest tomorrow."
