The LG Twins, led by head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, suffered a crushing defeat against the Samsung Lions 4-10 in the first round of the playoffs at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday. As a result, LG, which beat KT with three wins and two losses in the semi-playoff, lost in the first round of the playoffs, missing 75.7 percent chance (25 out of 33) of advancing to the Korean Series.

As starting pitcher Choi Won-tae collapsed, the game went smoothly. Choi gave up seven hits (two homers) and three strikeouts and five runs in three innings. He gave up a sacrifice fly to Diaz in the first inning to lose the first run, and was substituted after giving up a three-run homer to Koo Ja-wook in the third inning and a solo shot to 슬롯사이트 in the fourth inning.

The bullpen pitchers that followed suit were no different. With Elijah Hernandez deteriorating physical strength as he pitched in all five games of the semi-playoff, other bullpen pitchers had to narrow the gap, but they failed to do so. Since Choi Won-tae, a total of eight bullpen pitchers including Yoo Young-chan, Kim Jin-sung, Jung Woo-young, Kim Yoo-young, Baek Seung-hyeon, Lee Ji-gang, Lee Jong-joon and Kim Dae-hyun have taken the mound. He used a total of nine pitchers on the day, setting a tie for the most appearances by a playoff pitcher. However, he was not satisfied.

In the batting lineup, Shin Min-jae had two hits in five at-bats and Oh Ji-hwan had a solo home run, but the overall lineup was poor. He chased by scoring three points in the seventh inning, but the score was earned through the opponent’s error.

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop predicted that the starting pitcher for Game 2 will be Detrick N.C. Yeom said, “Choi Won-tae’s Samsung hitters pitched well. My goal is to win and lose in Daegu, so the second game N.C. has become more important.” The following is a Q&A session with manager Yeom Kyung-yeop.

• If I were to give you a general review?
  ▲ It was a difficult game overall as it was pushed out of the selection fight. Samsung batters connected Choi Won-tae’s real pitch with a long shot, making it a difficult game overall.
• Is there something wrong with Choi Wontae?
  ▲ There is nothing wrong with the body. If you have a lot of real throws, you will get hit in the end. Samsung hitters pitched well.
• If you go to Game 5 of the series, who will be picked by Choi Won-tae?
  ▲The reason why I made this steel today, I thought until Game 5… I think Won-tae would be better.
• You used a lot of pitchers today. What if it’s a harvest?
  ▲ “Ham Deok-ju is not good enough to throw consecutive games yet. That’s why I took it out. I think Yoo Young-chan, Kim Jin-seong, and Ham Deok-ju’s Eli should compete in the winning game.
• How are you going to prepare for the 2nd round?
  ▲ I think our batting line is alive. We have to win three times anyway. How we win three times is important. We lost the first game, but our batting line has to explode in the remaining games. What matters is N.S. Depending on tomorrow’s pitch, I think we can prevail or lose. The second game is the most important. I wish I had a day when Won-tae was scratched, but I’m sorry I couldn’t. The only way to expect from N.S. is to win and lose in Daegu. I will do my best to win tomorrow’s game.
