“Three of our key players are going out, and I hope they do well. We’re ready.”
It’s the season to win the Korean Series, and the Asian Games are coming up. The departure of three key players is inevitable.
The KBO will not be suspended during the Hangzhou Asian Games. It’s an ironic position for a team with such a good roster to be in during the regular season.
LG was initially expected to lose Jung Woo-young, Go Woo-seok, and Moon Bo-kyung. Lee Min-ho, Kim Yoon-sik, and other Young Gun starters have become less likely. Recently, Park Myung-geun has been on the rise.
LG will play the final game of the midweek series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on Aug. 8. “It depends on who is sent out, but we are prepared,” said LG manager Yoon Kyung-yeop before the game, adding that “if it goes differently than expected, we may suffer damage.”
“I think Jung Woo-young and Park Myung-geun might be switched. If Jung Woo-young-Park Myung-geun goes, it’s the best option because Go Woo-seok will stay, and if it’s Park Myung-geun-Go Woo-seok, it’s the worst. Park Myung-geun can be a closer, but Jung Woo-young is not a save pitcher.”
“I decided that the wild card would be 30 or younger, so I don’t have to worry about Park Dong-won going,” he said, adding, “I don’t think they’ll pick Park Myung-geun, Jung Woo-young, or Go Woo-seok.” As for Go’s condition, “I’m not worried about it.토토사이트
As for Go Woo-seok’s condition, he said, “I’m not worried, but he hasn’t felt the game yet. Since he pitched yesterday, he will rest today, and from the weekend, he will pitch back-to-back pitches.” “We should have won yesterday, but we used up our best pitch and lost…” he said.
On this day, the results of the May monthly MVP voting were announced. Park Dong-won won the monthly MVP award over Lim Chan-kyu. It was LG’s first monthly MVP in four years since Peguero in 2019. “Since (Park) won the award, as a coach, the MVP of May in my heart is Im Chan-kyu,” said Yeom.
The Asian Games roster will be announced on May 9.
