SSG is aiming for the last ticket of autumn baseball, and the key is bullpen..."I have a lot of worries"

The SSG Landers, who are aiming to make a dramatic post-season appearance by counterattack in September, are agonizing over bullpen session. While running for a long winning streak, no major weakness was seen until recently, but cracks arose due to fatigue.

SSG lost to the Doosan Bears 4-8 in an away game held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. Had it won the match, it would have advanced to fourth by garnering seven consecutive wins, but fell back to sixth after losing the match.

It's a shame that we didn't win the important game with momentum, but we still have a chance.

SSG, which has played two fewer games (141 games) than fifth-ranked KT Wiz, will clinch fifth place on its own if it wins the remaining five games. Even if it fails to win, if KT shows poor performance in the remaining three games, SSG will have a chance.

There is a possibility, but there is anxiety about the performance inside SSG. I am especially worried about the relatively weak bullpen.

Even while winning six consecutive games, the pitching power itself could not be considered very strong.

Seo Jin-yong (one run in ⅓ innings) and Moon Seung-won (four runs and two earned runs in ⅔ innings) were sluggish against the Samsung Lions on September 15, and Jang Ji-hoon gave up four runs in the ninth inning alone after leading 8-2 against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 19th.

In particular, in the match against Doosan on the 23rd, Seo Jin-yong was hit with the bases loaded with no outs in the fifth inning, allowing a turnaround. It was also true that Seo Jin-yong failed to trust him, although it was a run for the successor left by starter Song Young-jin.

Han Doo-sol and Jang Ji-hoon, who have since risen, also failed to instill faith in the bench.

Now SSG has five most important games left this season, and even Moon Seung-won fell out due to right upper arm discomfort.

It is said that you only need to rest for about two days for now, but the recovery period may be prolonged because it is a throwing arm. In particular, Moon Seung-won has a history of right elbow ligament joint surgery in June 2021, so he is anxious.

If Moon Seung-won cannot play in the regular season, he will have to face the LG Twins (1 game), NC Dinos (2 games), Hanwha Eagles (1 game), and Kiwoom Heroes (1 game) with his current strength. 안전놀이터

Except for LG, all teams have moved away from the semifinal competition, but if you rush to sprinkle red pepper powder with determination, you can't guarantee victory.

In addition to Noh Kyung-eun and Cho Byung-hyun, who are currently the most reliable members of the must-win group, other martial arts agents should do their part.

In order to ease the burden on the pitching staff, it is also important for the starting pitchers to draw as long innings as possible. The timing of the bullpen operation may vary depending on the roles of Drew Anderson, Roenis Elias and Kim Kwang-hyun in the remaining games.

"I have a lot of worries about the bullpen. Depending on the situation, (Roh) Kyung-eun has to pull it a little bit and go as far as she can," Lee said. "I'm going to do my best just by watching today's game in front of me."
