3 wins and 7 losses in the last 10 games. How to overcome this crisis, the last three consecutive games in the first half.
The SSG Landers have recently seen a decline in pitching and batting trends. He has only won three games in the last 10 games. Due to last week's rain, only four of the six games were played normally, and only one of them won. He lost two consecutive games as the mound collapsed in two consecutive games against the KIA Tigers, and he also performed below expectations with one win and one loss in two consecutive games against the Hanwha Eagles last weekend.
It's the worst performance since the opening of this season. For now, the mound is shaking. Park Jong-hoon goes down to the second division again and falls into Kirk McCarty's injury. The bullpen, which was the only one in the league with a two-point ERA, also does not perform well. The SSG bullpen's ERA in July was 5.88, ranking seventh in the league.
The lineup has also fluctuated somewhat, and the mound's sluggishness is having the most direct impact. SSG won 9-7 against Hanwha on the 8th, but is leading 9-2 until the 5th inning, giving up 5 points in the second half alone.
For SSG, it is necessary to finish the first half as soon as possible and start reorganizing. He also gave up the No. 1 spot to the LG Twins, which he has always kept, but it is already 2.5 games away.
It is important how to finish the last three consecutive games of the first half against the Doosan Bears at home in Incheon from the 11th, but SSG's key hitters are not playing properly. Guillermo Heredia, the "lucky foreign hitter" with the league's No. 1 batting average, left for the U.S. on the 10th for an interview to acquire U.S. citizenship. It's an inevitable gap because it was scheduled early. He will return home in a week, but will not be able to play in the last three games of the first half. For the team, it's a big loss because there's no best batter in the league.
On top of that, Choi Kyung-ju, the league's No. 1 home run player, is not in his normal condition. Choi Jeong injured his pubic muscles while defending against KIA last week. It's not a big injury, but he hasn't played since. The player's own will is so great that he can play as a pinch hitter in the Doosan Bears' three consecutive games, but he cannot prevent the central lineup from loosening because he is not in a normal physical condition anyway. 토토
Doosan is the hottest team in the league with eight consecutive wins. The momentum is so good that you can never let your guard down. From SSG's point of view, it is necessary to finish the three consecutive games well, take a rest, reorganize the power, and prepare for the first three consecutive games against LG in the second half. It's a situation where we have to stop losing consecutive games.
