Chanho got hurt, Taegun got hurt...The reality of the situation that KIA was most afraid of, now San

KIA Tigers, who had nine consecutive wins. Director Kim Jong-kook rarely smiled. It is the fate of the head coach who lives in the world of victory that he cannot laugh freely even during consecutive wins. With a desperate desire to keep the flow, the inner feeling expressed was 'preventing injury'. Coach Kim said, "There are still many games left. The most important thing is to manage injuries. "The players themselves are doing well on their own, but I asked them to pay more attention overall," he said.

The situation that head coach Kim was concerned about became a reality in two weeks. Leadoff Park Chan-ho was diagnosed with a three-week injury to his left finger during the first-base head-first sliding against the Daegu Samsung Lions on the 12th. In the match against the Doosan Bears in Gwangju on the 18th, Kim Tae-gun, the main catcher, left due to a left ankle sprain. It can be known only when the exact results of the examination are obtained, but depending on the situation, long-term absences are also concerned. 토토사이트

The latest topic for the other nine clubs, as well as KIA, is 'injury'. At the end of the season, leaving the starting lineup means losing power. It also serves as a point where life and death are divided for teams fighting for rankings. The importance was even greater for KIA, which has the most remaining games among the 10 clubs. It has to play 14 games, including a doubleheader, between the 17th and the 30th. In the meantime, it is heading toward the worst situation with a series of injuries. Pimali, whose ranking changes according to the results of each game, is due to doubled fatigue in the match, but there are aspects that luck has not followed.

There is no turning back what happened. The injured should return to power as soon as possible and continue the power again.

In the meantime, Sanchez's performance ahead of his return is drawing attention. Sanchez, who will take the mound with Lee Eui-ri against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 21st, recently finished his last bullpen pitch without any problems. In the match against Hanwha, it is expected that he will return to the starting rotation by testing his innings and pitching ability.

After the match against Hanwha, KIA will leave the team with Lee Eui-ri calling up the Hangzhou Asian Games national team. Sanchez, who is returning, has to fill the vacancy amid another hole in KIA's starting lineup, which has only had one quality start (more than six innings, less than three earned runs) in the last 10 games. If he quickly stabilizes after pitching a quality start plus (more than seven innings, less than three earned runs) against Hanwha on August 25, just before his injury, KIA will have a situation that can ease its worries. In addition, it is worth looking for synergy with the batting line with the stabilization of the mound. The Tiger Corps, which is in tears due to a series of injuries, is hoping for a healthy Sanchez fight.
