Autumn rain soaked up Samsung Lions Park in Daegu. The second round of the playoffs was delayed by a day due to rain.
Samsung and LG planned to play the second round of the “2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Postseason” playoffs at Samsung Lions Park on the 14th. The second round was originally planned to be called out at 6:30 p.m. on the same day, but it was postponed a day due to rain.
As predicted, a lot of rain fell on the field, blocking the environment where players could play smoothly. Kim Si-jin, the game’s supervisor, carefully inspected various parts of the ground, but ultimately decided to cancel the rain. It was the sixth record in the history of the playoffs, and the 20th overall postseason.
Without rain, Samsung and LG would have had Won Tae-in and Detrick N.S., respectively, as starting pitchers. However, the plan changed due to the cancellation of rain. Samsung let go of Won Tae-in, and LG replaced him with Son Joo-young as starting pitcher.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man met with reporters before the cancellation of the rain was confirmed, and said, “Even if the rain is canceled, the starting pitcher will go to Won Tae-in as it is. It’s raining on and off, so it’s better not to do it if it rains. There is a concern about injury, and I think normal performance will not come out. If it rains, various situations may result in bad situations. It’s better not to do it if it rains. What I’m worried about is that the worst situation would be to use the starting pitcher when the game starts, and to have to play tomorrow due to rain,” but fortunately, the cancellation of the rain was confirmed early before the game began, saving Won Tae-in.
“Wouldn’t the flow change?” LG manager 슬롯사이트 told reporters after the cancellation of the rain officially announced. “First of all, the starting pitchers have changed, and N.C. has rested well. I think he will be able to play leisurely. As he rotated through rotation from three to four days ago, I think he will be effective in resilience for N.C. other than Elijah Hernandez, the relief pitcher is doing well. Anyway, since he has a day off, he doesn’t have to worry about using Hernandez for two innings. I think a rainy season also helps that the coach can have a more likely option.”
The cancellation of the rain on the day will affect the overall schedule of the post season. The schedule will be postponed by one day including Lee Dong-il. However, if the schedule does not meet the schedule of the Korean Series, the schedule will continue as scheduled. For example, if the playoffs ends on the third or fourth game on the 17th or 18th, the first game of the Korean Series will be held from the previous schedule on the 21st.
However, if the playoffs are held until Game 5, the first game of the Korean Series will also be postponed from the previous 21st to the 22nd, considering Lee Dong-il.
Those who book tickets for the second round can enter the match on the 15th, which has been postponed for a day due to rain. If you want to cancel your ticket, you can cancel the entire ticket until the day when it is decided to cancel.
