Kia dominates, LG fights back.

Will the Kia Tigers continue on their path to the regular season title, or will the LG Twins be able to fight back as the defending champions?

KIA’s momentum is scary. Kia won 8-4 against the Hanwha Eagles on the 19th. The momentum from the victory continued even when they pulled Kim Do-hyun, who was a substitute starter on the 18th. With ace Nail on the mound, they were in no mood to lose.

Five straight wins. Eight wins in their last 10 games. It was important to start the second half of the season against the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions in the middle of the week. The three-game sweep of LG was followed by two games against Samsung, with one game canceled due to rain. With a six-game lead over the second-place team, the team’s morale was skyrocketing.

Lee Yi-ri was off in the first half. In the second half, Yoon Young-cheol, who had won seven games, suffered a long-term injury. Underdogs falter when their starting pitchers are injured. But Kia doesn’t look like that. Substitutes like Hwang Dong-ha and Kim Do-hyun have stepped up like they’ve been waiting in the wings. Coach Lee Bum-ho’s sophisticated mercenary tactics also solidify the team. They don’t look like beginners. The ‘big pitcher’ Yang Hyun-jong showed determination to get out of the game with one out to win. It’s been a while since we’ve talked about ‘rookie manager risk’.

On the 19th, LG was unable to play the Doosan Bears due to rain.

In the meantime, the gap between first and second place was 6.5 games. Considering the ride, the power, and the atmosphere, we can be cautiously optimistic about Kia’s chances in the second half.

But baseball is a human affair. 바카라사이트 추천 You never know what variables will come into play. There’s nothing stopping KIA from going on a losing streak. It’s also worth noting how LG, the original favorite, has fared in the second half.

As mentioned above, LG dropped all three games to KIA to start the second half of the season, but as if on cue, they bounced back with four straight wins. Against Doosan on the 20th, they led 6-0 before the no-game was called. During the recent winning streak, LG Baseball’s batting lineup has been completely revitalized. It’s unfortunate that Moon Sung-ju is out again due to injury, but the return of captain Oh Ji-hwan from injury has given the team cohesion.

Moon’s transformation into the No. 4 role has also been successful.

The mound is important. Im Chan-kyu is back from injury and finding his pace, while Choi Won-tae is also close to returning. It’s hard to say goodbye to Kelly, but LG could be a different team with Hernandez, who has 10 wins in 99 games in the major leagues, as their ace. Hernandez has had some injury issues, but he could be an “all-time great” in terms of his talent.

The bullpen is also ready for the return of Park Myung-geun and Ham Deok-ju, who have been sidelined by injuries and surgery.

Samsung and Doosan are also in the hunt for the top spot. However, based on power and relativity, they are 2% short of challenging for the title against KIA. Samsung is a small team when it comes to Kia. They are 3-7 against them this season. Doosan has a lot of ups and downs, winning streaks and losing streaks. LG is likely to be the team that can harass KIA until the end.
