The LG Twins bullpen is expected to become stronger. The head coach was satisfied with this but hoped for a rebound in the lineup.먹튀검증

LG, led by head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, had 37 wins, 1 draw and 24 losses as of Tuesday morning, as of Friday, marking the lone top spot. Immediately after the season's opening, the team showed off its powerful performance, dubbed "the strongest team ever." There were times when the team faltered, but it still remains in the lead. The gap with the second-ranked Hanwha Eagles (36 wins and 26 losses) is 1.5 games shorter than the first-ranked team.

Recently, the bullpen has been somewhat shaky, but there seems to be no need to worry. This is why there are many supporters who are about to return. The start was right-hander Yoo Young-chan, who was on the operating table late last year. Registered in the first team entry on the 1st, he has been pitching well every day, adding vitality to the bullpen.
On the 7th, right-hander Jang Hyun-sik, who shook off his dorsal muscle injury, is expected to be called up to the first team. Jang, who has posted 32 wins, 37 losses and 15 saves and 91 holds with an ERA of 4.82 in 452 games (607.1 innings), is certainly a player who can contribute to the LG bullpen. He also posted a good record of one loss and eight saves with an ERA of 1.17 in 15 games (15.1 innings) this year.

In 202 games (249.2 innings), right-hander Lee Jung-yong has 17 wins, nine losses, four saves, 42 holds, and an earned run average of 3.57. He played in 37 games (86.2 innings) in 2023 and recorded seven wins, two losses, three saves, one hold, and an earned run average of 4.15 (ERA), contributing significantly to LG's overall win, and is currently serving in the military at Sangmu. He plans to join the team after completing his mandatory military service on Wednesday.

Around the same time, Ham Deok-ju, who underwent elbow surgery late last year, also plans to return to the team. He posted an ERA of 3.54 in 412 games (513.1 innings), 35 wins, 22 losses, 59 saves, and 52 holds.

The head coach also did not hide his smile. "If (Ham) Deokju comes and (Lee) Jung-yong comes, we will divide the bullpen into groups A and B," manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the match against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Stadium on the 6th. "Then, when other teams are overloaded, they will not make a big accident or hit from behind," he said. "We can bet against a situation where we are losing a point."

"I think Blon Save will give more than in the first half. Whether you hold strong cards or not has a big impact on the game," he added.

At the same time, Yeom hoped for the batting average of his team. LG's batting average stands at 0.267 (third), which does not seem bad, but there are some ups and downs. Most of all, he has been relatively weak in scoring areas these days. Just looking at the game against Kiwoom in Gocheok on Wednesday, Park Dong-won's timely hit to left field with an RBI single in the top of the fourth inning scored the first run, but after missing several chances, he had to accept the 1-2 defeat.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "The batting line should survive. That way, we can hold on, turn it around and win when we are trailing by one point or even in a tie. "We have to play this game a lot," he said. "There were many such games in 2023 (when we won the combined championship). While the must-win teams such as (Go) Woo-suk, (Lee) Jung-yong, (Jeong) Woo-young were shaken in the first half, the four players including (Yoo) Young-chan, (Park) Myeong-geun, (Ham) Deok-ju, and (Kim) Jin-seong were holding out. As these players (Go Woo-suk, Lee Jung-yong, and Jung Woo-young) recovered, the winning team became seven players at the beginning of the second half. The losing game was also reversed to the batting lineup. In the end, the bat must revive. Even if you hang in the bullpen, you can't win if you don't hit."

Considering the returning supporters, LG will surely have a more robust bullpen. As the coach said, however, stronger synergy will be created only when the batters perform well. Will batters with the twin corps be able to give wings to LG, which is fighting for No. 1 ranking.
