I won, but I have one final task left. It is a gap between starting pitchers in Game 6. The LG Twins preempted three wins in the Korea Citizen. After losing the first game, LG, which caught the second and third games and the fourth game on the 11th, now has only one win left until the unified championship. The Korean Series championship for the first time in 29 years since 1994 is just around the corner.
After taking a day off on the 12th, LG will move back to its home Jamsil Stadium on the 13th to play Game 5. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop predicted Casey Kelly as the starting pitcher for Game 5. Kelly, who pitched two runs (one earned run) in six ⅓ innings against KT in the first game on the 7th, was selected as a starter for Game 5, which could determine the Korean Series title.
In fact, from LG's point of view, it must be finished in Game 5. It's because of the starting lineup. At this point, it is safe to say that the only reliable starting card in LG is actually Kelly. At the start of the Korean Series, Kelly, Choi Won-tae, and Lim Chan-kyu will be fixed for one to three starters, and the remaining four starters will be used flexibly with Lee Jung-yong and Kim Yoon-sik. Instead of Lee Jung-yong, who used it as a bullpen "keyman," Kim Yun-sik started Game 4 and gave one run in five ⅔ innings, and it is not easy for Kim Yun-sik to start again in the rest of the series.
Choi Won-tae, a starting pitcher in Game 2, was shocked by allowing only one out count and four runs in the first inning, and Lim Chan-kyu, a starting pitcher in Game 3, endured well, but unfortunately came down without completing even four innings with one run in three ⅔ innings. Due to the nature of LG, which is rich in bullpen, it made a quick replacement.
In fact, LG should play "all-in" in Game 5 when Kelly takes the mound. We need to finish the series as soon as possible and confirm the championship to erase all the last variables. If you don't finish Game 5 and go to Game 6, the variables will increase. It's because of selection. Choi Won-tae, who went down with only one out count in Game 2, pitched as a bullpen in the ninth inning in Game 4. However, as soon as he came up, he allowed two walks in a row and lost a point, showing signs of anxiety. Choi Won-tae finished the game until the end because the score difference was so large, but rather gave him trouble.
After the fourth game, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said about Choi Won-tae's appearance, "I made him throw (today) to check to use it as a starter in Game 6, but I don't think I should use it. I don't think it's a good balance yet, so it's a burden to use it as a starter in Game 6. I think we need to think hard about who will be the starting pitcher for Game 6 tomorrow.
The best scenario is to finish Game 5 with a win, and erase Game 6 altogether. If LG does not win Game 5 and the series is prolonged, KT's starting lineup is stronger, which could lead to errors in calculation.
