129G Doosan, which has been running tirelessly, has been running for only 6G for two weeks

Doosan had played a total of 129 games through Sunday. It had the most games among the 10 teams, eight more than Lotte (121 games), which had the least number of games. Doosan almost never rested and kept running even when the heat was hotter than ever before.

Foreign pitcher Brandon Waddell left the Daegu Samsung match on June 23 for a long time after feeling shoulder pain, and Shirakawa Keisho, who joined as an injured substitute, also ended the season with elbow pain after the match against Hanwha in Jamsil on the 23rd of last month.

As the starting pitcher's rotation was not perfect, the team had to fill in the compulsory military en masse, and the physical burden on fielders has been increasing. The team finished the first half of the season in third place (46 wins, 39 losses, two draws, and a winning rate of .541), four games behind the top-ranked Kia Tigers, but tied for seventh with the SSG with 18 wins and 24 losses (winning rate of .629). In overall performance of the season, the team ranks fourth with 64 wins, 63 losses and two draws (winning rate of .504), 12.5 games behind the top-ranked Kia Tigers. The team is in a shaky fourth place, one game ahead of fifth-ranked KT.

Against this backdrop, Doosan will play only six games over the next two weeks. The schedule ends this week with a two-day break after the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on March 3, the match against Samsung in Daegu on April 4, and the match against Doosan in Suwon on April 7. In addition, Doosan will play only three games next week: a game against Gocheok Kiwoom on April 10, a game against NC in Jamsil on April 13, and a game against KT in Jamsil on April 14.

Doosan has the capacity to stage all-out efforts in every game. For now, it does not need many starting pitchers. Kwak Bin, Jordan Balazovic and One-Two Punch can be used in four out of six games. Two fixed starters and the rest of the starting positions will be flexibly used. Choi Seung-yong, left-hander, will play in the match against Samsung on Wednesday.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said in an interview before the game on the 3rd, "Kwakbin and Balazovic rotate normally, and the rest of the starters go in a flexible manner," adding, "We took a day off yesterday, and if we play tomorrow, we will rest again, so we will prepare all pitchers who can play in the bullpen." Kim Min-kyu, who took five scoreless innings as a starter in the match against Changwon NC on the 28th of last month, will be on standby for the bullpen on the day.

On the day of right-handed starter Moon Dong-ju of the Hanwha Eagles, Doosan listed its starting lineup in the order of Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Jarrod Young (left fielder), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Heo Kyung-min (third baseman), Lee Yoo-chan (striker) and Cho Soo-haeng (right fielder). The starting pitchers are Choi Won-joon. 메이저놀이터

The team desperately needs to rebound after suffering a slump as it ranks last in the batting average (.203) of its 10-game team. "Batters are in a slump, but we have 15 more games to play. There is no time to get tired. We have to put everything into it because we have to rest tomorrow. If we can't do it, we have to think that we have to leave even after getting hit. The players know that we will have to win," Lee said.
