“In my head, I only think of escaping from a losing streak” First game as an acting manager desperate to win, put forward a lineup to maximize attack power
The Lotte Giants are in dire need of a losing streak. Acting coach Lee Jong-woon revealed that he was only thinking about escaping from losing streak rather than the pressure and excitement of the first game.
On the 31st, at 6:30 pm, Lotte will face off against the Hanwha Eagles in the 11th game at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park.
Lotte remains in 7th place with a 50-50 win rate of 0.463. The atmosphere isn’t good lately. They are on a 7-game losing streak.
During this period, the command tower changed. Director Larry Sutton voluntarily resigned on the 28th due to health reasons. Coach Lee Jong-woon, who was the head coach, will lead the rest of the season as an acting manager.
As the 29th and 30th were canceled due to rain for two days in a row, this day became acting manager Lee Jong-woon’s first game.
Acting Lee said, “I have no thoughts about my debut match, and I will do my best in my position. In my head, there is only one thought of escaping from a losing streak. (Hanwha is also losing a losing streak) So are we, and I am also desperate.”
The starting lineup was revealed before the game.
Lotte: Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder) – Lee Jung-hoon (designated hitter) – Ahn Chi-hong (2nd baseman) – Jeon Jun-woo (left fielder) – Jung-hoon (1st baseman) – Gu Drumm (3rd baseman) – Yoo Kang-nam (catcher) – Noh Jin-hyeok (shortstop) – Kim Min-seok (center fielder) ) in order. The starting pitcher is Aaron Wilkerson.
Lee Jung-hoon’s batting order went up. Lee Jung-hoon, who was released from KIA after the end of last season, started a new start by holding Lotte’s hand. This season, he recorded a batting average of 0.385, 1 home run and 10 RBIs in 29 games, adding strength to Lotte’s offensive power.메이저놀이터
His highest batting order this season was 3. Other than that he was out a lot in 5th and 6th. However, on this day, he was placed in the second batting order for the first time in the season.
Acting Lee Jong-woon foreshadowed aggressive baseball, saying, “I will try to be aggressive from the beginning by putting Lee Jung-hoon in number 2.”
