‘One week of destiny’ for the third place Suseong… Lotte Meeting ‘Kashi Field Road’ 6 consecutive games (SS Focus)

Sports | baseball

(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) Lotte’s losing streak is long. Although it is in the third place, it is becoming more and more difficult. It is necessary to rebound. But even the coming schedule is not easy. It’s 6 consecutive games, and I’m in line with the first starter. ‘Thorny Field Road’ is expected.

I think it’s just a lot of LG and Hanwha, but the pace fell too much. Still ranked third. However, the difference from the second place Hanwha is eight games. The difference from the fourth place SSG is only one game. From the standpoint of the top -ranking competition, he is now joining the mid -range fight.

The bat doesn’t burst too much. The batting average in August stays at 0.205. At the same time, he has been losing eight consecutive games. On the 17th, Sajik Samsung matched eight points for a long time, but the mound could not stand and had to be satisfied with the draw.

Not easy in many ways. At this time, LG and NC are in turn. It’s all burdensome to be a away game. Moreover, both played a difficult game this season when dealing with LG and NC. LG is in full swing with 4 wins and 1 draw and 6 losses. NC is ahead of 6 wins and 5 losses, and often over three hours of fighting.

Moreover, in this confrontation, we will meet the opponent’s strong starting pitcher in succession. I’m having a hard time hitting, and I’m more concerned about it.

LG is one of the most stable starting rotations this season with Hanwha. There is no easy pitcher, but in Lotte and the weekly series, Anders Tolhurst, Yoni Chirinos, and Son Joo -young will come out.

Chirinos-Tolhurst ‘Foreign One-to-Punch’ is a burden for Lotte, suffering from sluggish blow. The same is true for Son Joo -young. Lotte is weak in Son Joo -young this year. This season, Lotte won only one point in three games in three games against Son Joo -young.

After finishing the LG, we meet NC. This is a problem if this is a problem. It is highly likely to deal with the first starter Riley Thompson in three consecutive weekends. Lee Ho -jun announced that he would start two foreign players in the second half of the year.

Riley plays on the 19th. According to the director’s plan, the next start is likely to be the last match with Lotte. This year, Lotte dealt with Riley once. He struggled with two points in six innings. One of them was a defensive mistake.

In the situation where the losing streak accumulated, I met a demanding opponent in a row. There is no choice but to overcome. If you can’t go beyond your opponent’s mound, autumn baseball may be really hard. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
