When the school violence issue was resolved, a drinking scandal occurred, and as many as three people were excluded from the first division due to injuries and sluggishness. “Newbie” coach Lee Seung-yeop faced his biggest ordeal in two months after the opening.
For Doosan, more than half of the five starters are missing from the first-tier entry. Foreign pitcher Dylan Pyle has been rehabilitating since the 15th of last month after being diagnosed with a right elbow flexor sprain, while right-handed fireballer Kwak Bin was canceled the next day due to a recurrence of back pain after the match against Changwon NC on May 31. On top of that, even native ace Choi Won-joon was given time to readjust on the 31st after suffering a series of slumps against Suwon KT (five runs in four innings) on May 21 and Changwon NC (five runs in three innings) on the 30th. 스포츠토토탑
One was overwhelming, but three were out of power. Among them are foreign players. Coach Lee Seung-yeop laughed and said, “I can't sleep because I have more gray hairs,” adding, “Because the coaching staff and front desk can't play directly, I always think about finding resources to fill in the event of a power leak.” And that's why there is the Futures League. I'm having a hard time, but I have to endure and overcome it. Everyone, including the new players, needs to hold out a little more,” he said honestly.
However, it does not mean that the remaining starting pitchers are playing their role. Except for ace Raul Alcantara, Choi Seung-yong and Kim Dong-joo, who are starting resources from 4th to 5th, are both experiencing extreme ups and downs amid various trials and errors. However, there is no suitable alternative, so they must continue to play the season.
Coach Lee said, “Kim Dong-joo seems to be tired. “I felt that my arm kept falling down, and I felt that my strength had fallen,” he said. “In fact, if I had time, I should skip the rotation to control my condition and relax my mind, but I can't do that.” “There is no alternative,” he said.
This is not the only challenge for a novice coach. Lee Young-ha and Kim Yoo-sung's risk of school violence, which they had taken since taking over as coaches in October last year, was cleared after Lee Young-ha's acquittal on the 31st of last month, but in June, setup man Jung Chul-won's drinking scandal broke out on WBC. Jung Chul-won has been self-reflecting in Icheon since the cancellation of the first division on the 2nd.
Off-ground issues have been added to a series of injuries. The whole body is a long way off. Jang Won-joon, Park Shin-ji, Alcantara, Kim Dong-joo, Choi Seung-yong and Kwak Bin have set up a temporary starting rotation this week, but they seem to have more variables than Sang-soo. Kwak Bin, who is scheduled to return on the 11th, cannot be optimistic about his back condition. On top of that, the main catcher Yang Eui-ji put up Lee Young-ha instead of Jung Chul-won because his shin is not intact, but it is unclear whether he will be able to completely fill Jung Chul-won's gap as there was such a big gap in practice.
Coach Lee said, “At the beginning of the season, it was good that there was no injury report except Dylan. But there are a lot these days. “I get scared whenever I see the paper,” he said with a smile. “The current situation can't be helped.” Everyone was injured and sluggish while working hard for the team. Instead, I think it will be really strong if all the players gather after this period. You have to hold out until then. The rest of the players should not give up and fill the portion of the missing players. I can't help it,” he stressed.
Still, Doosan continues to maintain a 50% winning rate and is fighting for the rankings within the top five. The beginner coach's gum baseball seems to work better than expected. Coach Lee said, “The 50% winning rate has continued for two months, and we have to overcome this crisis now. You can't lose without a player. Senior citizens also said, “We need to overcome this crisis.” He said, “If I pass it, a good day will come, so I said let's cheer up a little more,” and hoped for a successful June.
