Coach Kim, who went straight to the semifinals and waited for the opponent, thoroughly enjoyed the wild card game and then coached the team that day to increase the sense of the real game.
Director Kim said, “LG came up, but unfortunately, they are a rival team in Seoul, so I think I feel something different,” he said. “We did the same preparation. We have to do our best to win.”
In addition to his physical superiority, coach Kim showed confidence against LG, which added 9 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in the regular season.
He said: “I think we have confidence in the minds of our players. I can’t say it has no effect, but there have been a lot of good situations against LG in recent years. I think the players can feel safe and go out.”
In the wake of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), this semi-playoff will be reduced to 3 games and 2 wins instead of the existing 5 games and 3 wins.
Director Kim replied with a smile, “I hope it ends soon,” when asked how many games he expects the series to end.
Doosan has Chris Flexen as the starting pitcher for the first game. Flexen posted a 3.01 ERA with an 8-4 loss this year.
In particular, he played an active role with an average of 0.85 wins and a 0.85 ERA in five games in October, showing his power with a powerful ‘one-two’ with Raúl Alcántara.
LG will play Ace Kelly in the wild card game, with rookie Lee Min-ho as the starting pitcher.
Lee Min-ho, who joined LG this season as the first nominee, played an active role with an average ERA of 3.69 with a 4-4 loss.
Lee Min-ho, who mainly throws a fastball and a slider at 150 km / h, started steadily as a starter and was evaluated as the ‘ace of the next generation’.
Manager Kim said: “The reason a new player came out in a great game is because that player has done well at LG as well. We will analyze and attack as much as possible.”
Coach Kim said: “Alcantara and Flexen look so good that everyone says Doosan is advantageous, but none of them have a great playing experience.” The same ”, he pointed out.
