With the second round of the playoffs scheduled for Thursday cancelled due to rain, LG replaced its starting pitcher with Son Joo-young from Detrick N.S. Samsung will keep its starting pitcher as it was. The appointment of starting pitchers from the two teams even includes a strategy to advance to the fifth round. LG has reduced risks, while Samsung can continue its strength.

The KBO said the second playoff game between the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions of the "2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Postseason" scheduled to take place at 4:45 p.m. on the day at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu has been canceled due to rain. Rain that began at 3 p.m. has gradually increased and the game has become so strong that it is difficult to proceed. The KBO has decided to play the game as much as possible, but it could not go against the will of the sky. It is the sixth playoff and the 20th postseason rain cancellation.

Following the decision to cancel the rain, LG replaced its starting pitcher with Son Joo-young in the second round after a coaching staff meeting. "Playing tomorrow is important," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said in a briefing. "I've decided to use Son Joo-young. Instead, Detrick N.S. will play in the fourth round."

In the semi-playoffs, Son took the mound in relief in Games 3 and 5, and served seven ⅓ innings. In fact, Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop wanted to send Son to Game 2 from the beginning, but he gave up his offer to let her play in the training part. As he has one more day off, he has successfully chosen to play in the second round. "I checked everything. The speed of recovery is also important. The most important thing is the player's will. The training part is okay," he said. "I thought that I would use Son for the second round when it rains. I decided after hearing the opinions (from the coaches)."

Son pitched 144 ⅔ innings in 28 games this year, achieving his first regular innings since his debut. Although he failed to secure double-digit wins with nine wins (10 losses), he ranked second as a Korean pitcher after Samsung's Won Tae-in with an ERA of 3.79. Against Samsung, he had two wins and no loss in three games with an ERA of 1.04.

With Son Joo-young's appointment in the second game, LG has created another variable. In other words, N.C. will prepare for the fourth game on the 18th, not the third game on the 17th. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop did not say for sure about the starting pitcher for the third game, but chances are high that it will be Lim Chan-kyu. Elijah Hernandez should stay in the bullpen, and Choi Won-tae threw 50 pitches in the first game on the 13th, and the game itself was not good, as he allowed five runs in three innings.

If the series is extended to two wins and two losses, Son Joo-young, who took four days off, can take the mound again in Game 5 of the playoffs on the 20th. Originally, LG's rotation in the playoffs was Choi Won-tae, Ans, Son Joo-young, Lim Chan-gyu, and Choi Won-tae, but now it can be changed to Choi Won-tae, Son Joo-young, Lim Chan-gyu, Ans, and Son Joo-young. The "Choi Won-tae Risk," which has been mired in a slump in autumn with a post-season winless record and an 11.60 ERA, has been eliminated.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man paid keen attention to whether the team would proceed with the second round. If the second round was canceled during the course of the match, he would have lost his original card.

"The starting pitcher will go with Won Tae-in as it is. It's raining cats and dogs, but it's better not to let it rain. There is a risk of injury and I don't think normal performance will be displayed. The biggest concern is that the starting pitcher will be canceled due to rain. I think that's the worst situation for us." "If it's canceled during the game, we will have another player in the second game on May 15 and Won Tae-in again in the third game," he said.

Samsung also has no room for starting rotation. It even prepared a three-man rotation. First-round pick Denny Reyes should take only three days off and play in the fourth game. If the series gets longer, Won Tae-in, the second-round pick, 먹튀검증 will naturally prepare for the fifth game. In the meantime, if Won Tae-in is pushed to the third game, the matchup of the last game could also be pushed back.

Cancellation of rain on Friday seems to be a more favorable variable for LG, but the decision was made before the game began, and thus was not a negative variable for Samsung. Above all, it is clear that this series has become more intense until the end. The second game on Saturday will be a showdown between the first and second starting pitchers with the ERA of Korean pitchers and left and right ace pitchers of Korean baseball in the future, which adds to the interest.
