And the opponent was Samsung ace David Buchanan, who has a fairly good pace in the summer. Kim Dong-joo's record this year is 2 wins, 4 losses, and a 3.51 ERA in 13 games, and he was substituted early for two runs in three innings against KT in Jamsil on the 4th, his latest appearance. There has been no victory for nearly two months since the match against KIA in Jamsil on May 12 due to various trials and errors in the first full-time season of his debut.
Coach Lee, who avoided a showdown between David and Goliath due to the cancellation of rain, expressed his welcome, saying, "It's a good rain for us," adding, "Not only the starter but also the Pilseung team agents such as Kim Myung-shin, Hong Gun-hee and Jung Chul-won could not play today's game. Brandon Waddell, not Kim Dong-joo, will be the starting pitcher for tomorrow's game," he said.
Doosan, which will play three consecutive weekend games against Hanwha in Daejeon from the 11th. The starting rotation does not change due to the cancellation of rain. Instead, more pitchers have been available. For now, Choi Won-joon, who was canceled due to injuries after Brandon on Friday the 11th and Kwak Bin on Saturday the 12th, will return on the 13th. And Kim Dong-joo, who was canceled on the day, and Choi Seung-yong, who was a substitute starter for Choi Won-joon two days ago, will stand by behind.
Coach Lee said, "Kim Dong-joo will be on standby in Friday and Saturday games. Kim Dong-joo's next start is against KT in Jamsil on the 16th, he said. "Choi Seung-yong, who was a starter on Tuesday, plans to play after Choi Won-joon, who will return on Sunday after a four-day break," he said with a new plan.
Doosan is competing for the top five in the fifth place (48 wins, 1 draw, 45 losses). Although the gap with third-place KT is only two games, on the contrary, sixth-place KIA is also being chased by 1.5 games, which desperately needs to win every game. Against Hanwha in eighth place, he showed a strong 8 wins and 4 losses this year, but planned an all-out war to survive the ranking fight, and the game was canceled due to rain on the 10th, allowing five starting resources to pour into the series.
Meanwhile, Doosan excluded infielder Lee Yoo-chan from the first-tier entry and called up infielder Ahn Jae-seok. Coach Lee said to Lee Yoo-chan, who suffered from growth pains due to checkers and mistakes, "The team is more important now." I can't help thinking about the team. He started yesterday after a long time, but his skills didn't come out. "If you go to the second division and practice a lot and find confidence, you will have another opportunity," he left a message of encouragement.
