LG Twins Coach Youm Kyoung-youb’s Lament, “Foreigners are Ending our Winning Streak”
LG’s first starter, Ens, has 3 wins, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 5.14 due to ups and downs pitching.
“We are breaking all the winning streaks of foreigners.
Yesterday (the 3rd) we had to win at all costs, but we got stuck with 5 starters and the 1st starter lost….” 무료슬롯사이트
LG Twins Coach Youm Kyoung-youb began his briefing with a lament ahead of the professional baseball game against the Doosan Bears to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 4th.
LG lost 4-6 against Doosan the previous day.
This is because Detrick Ens, who appeared as a starter, collapsed after giving up 5 runs (2 earned), allowing 7 hits, 1 walk, striking out 4, and allowing 5 runs in 5 innings.
Ens’ season record is 3 wins, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 5.14.
Although he suffered his first loss of the season against Doosan on the 3rd, his uneven pitching is unbecoming of a player who has taken on the important role of being the first starter this year.
Casey Kelly, one of the key players in LG’s Korean Series victory last year, is also having a difficult time at the beginning of the season.
He had only 1 win, 5 losses, and an ERA of 5.09 in 7 games, and suffered losses in all of his last three appearances.
Coach Youm said, “I have a lot of concerns (because of foreign pitchers).
The club will be preparing for it, so I have no choice but to watch a little more (on the field).”
He continued, “It is difficult to decide (replacement) at this time.
“We need to watch for two months to determine what will improve,” he said, predicting that the replacement of foreign players will become more active in the league from the end of May.
LG Twins, which is struggling in the early part of the season due to the lack of two foreign pitchers, desperately needs their revival.
