The LG Twins had a somewhat unconventional lineup in an away game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 5th.먹튀검증

Kim Hyun-soo, Park Dong-won, Oh Ji-hwan, and Koo Bon-hyuk, who are the main hitters, are absent, and a large number of backup players are in the lineup. The team consists of Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Moon Sung-joo (left fielder), Moon Jung-bin (third baseman), Song Chan-ui (right fielder), Lee Joo-heon (possessed) and Lee Young-bin (striker).

Park Dong-won is unable to play due to back pain, and Kim Hyun-soo felt uncomfortable in his right side on the previous day, so he was replaced at defense in the bottom of the fifth inning. Amid sluggish performance, Oh has decided to reorganize himself through basic training. Koo Bon-hyuk, who filled the vacancy whenever the main infielders were out due to injury, also started off the bench to take care of his physical stamina.

Although LG ranks first, it is not in a relaxed mood. As LG lost to NC on the previous day, the team is trailing the runner-up Hanwha Eagles by a gap of 0.5 game. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop made the bold decision to remove a large number of key players at a time when he could lose the No. 1 spot.

Right now, Yeom has something more important than No. 1 Mercury. He needs to prevent injury. This is because Hong Chang-ki, the main hitter, suffered a knee injury during defense, making it difficult to play in the regular season, making it difficult to achieve the goal of recapturing the championship if more injured breakouts come out among the main players.

Manager Yeom's time is set for mid-June. LG's main bullpen pitchers, who have been out due to injuries, are returning. Yoo Young-chan returned to the first team on the 1st and showed good pitching of 150km in his first appearance, and Jang Hyun-sik also took the mound in the Futures League for the first time on the 5th, and his return to the first team is counting down. And Lee Jung-yong, who is active in Sangmu, will return from the military on the 17th. Since he is a pitcher who can both start and bullpen, he can be immediately put into positions necessary for LG.

Coach Yeom believes that Lee Jung-yong's return is a time when his team's pitching and hitting capabilities improve overall. Therefore, he is paying more attention to players' physical management, not ranking fights.

"I don't want any more injuries. I need to improve my batters' condition by mid-June under the circumstances. Even if I become a pitcher, I will be able to play baseball only when my batters are combined, so I am focusing on those things," Yeom said.

When asked if he would mind losing the top spot, Yeom nodded, "It's motivating to be in the top spot right now. However, this ranking can't be said to go all the way. It's good to do it, but I think it's absolutely not the case for a year's race if the team tries to keep up with the unfavorable conditions."

Coach Yeom said, "In running the season, we need to know what to prepare and what to prepare for in the current situation and do our best to lead the game within the conditions," adding, "In my experience, that's what I'm ready to do at the end." He said, "I played more than 1,000 games as a coach, and it's a manual I made by keeping a game diary for 20 years."

And lastly, coach Yeom emphasized once again that the final performance of the season is important, saying, "In the end, the coach is evaluated as the last result."

Though the game was expected to be difficult due to the large number of backups, LG scored three points thanks to Austin's two-run shot and Lee Young-bin's sacrifice fly, and failed to score additional points afterwards, but managed to block NC's attack to the end to maintain its No. 1 position by winning 3-1. Hanwha's loss to KT increased the gap between the two teams to 1.5 games. LG produced the best result for the team.
