Due to rain, the Korean Series has changed its plan. KIA, which was supposed to be ahead of Samsung on the mound, is also expected to have a different pitching management than expected.안전놀이터

The first game, which was held on Sunday, was suspended due to rain in the top of the sixth inning and then failed to resume, becoming the first suspended game in the postseason. As the game was not held on Sunday due to ground conditions, not only the first game but also the second game has been postponed to Sunday. As the entire schedule of the series has changed, the starting rotation that the two teams, especially KIA, had scheduled by date, needs to be virtually completely revised.

"If it is postponed again today, (Samsung) could have Won Tae-in in the fourth game," KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said on the 22nd. "We have to prepare accordingly. If it is canceled today, we have three to four days to spare for James' nail. We will decide by considering various directions."

After Lee Bum-ho's interview, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) canceled all of the first-round suspended games and the second-round games scheduled an hour after the end of the game. Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who participated in the interview afterwards, said, "Since Won Tae-in pitched less than 70 pitches in the first round, I think he will be able to take a four-day break (in the fourth round)," as Kia expected. As a result, the return match between the two starters in the first round, which was originally expected to be Game 5, will be moved to Game 4.

KIA started the series with four starting pitchers in advance. The first round match was held without making a final decision on who will join between left-hander Yoon Young-chul and right-hander Kim Do-hyun. "Due to the situation in which Kim Do-hyun, who will play a role of '+1' support after starting the series, will be deployed at the beginning of the series, we will make a final decision on the selection of the fourth round."

However, these four starting players -- Yoon Young-chul or Kim Do-hyun -- are no longer required until the fifth game. As their schedules have been pushed back by one day from the second game, the first and second starting players will be able to take four days off and play in the fourth and fifth games, respectively. Chances are high that Nail and Yang will play twice until the fifth game. As a result, chances are high that the cards that were prepared for the fourth game will be in the sixth game in terms of the date.

In fact, the only reliable starters for Samsung are Won Tae-in and Danny Reyes. Since Reyes threw it in Game 4 of the playoffs on Wednesday, he is scheduled to start Game 3. Coach Park Jin-man said on Tuesday that he has yet to make a decision as he said, "The second round selection is a triangle."

The fact that KIA was ahead of Samsung in the mound competition meant that it had more bullpen pitchers and more starting resources to decide. Due to changes in schedule, however, Samsung can use the ace pitcher's card twice until the fourth game. Samsung had enough rest and Kia's advantage as a direct team to go to KS has almost disappeared.

Nevertheless, Kia, which can deploy both nails and Yang Hyeon-jong twice until Game 5, still seems to be better than Samsung. Considering Game 4, the "+1" Kim Do-hyun card, which had to be carefully considered at the beginning of the series, will be able to be utilized more leisurely.
