“I’ll win when I can” 50% recovery KIA, there’s no room yet… an important condition for an all-out war

KIA hit the bottom of the season by losing 1-3 against LG in Jamsil on July 2nd. With 30 wins, 38 losses and 1 draw (.441), they fell to 9th place. Until then, recovering the 50% win rate seemed far off. It took an emergency to run the season.

But it had power. Injured players began 먹튀검증 to return one by one, and foreign pitchers added new ones, creating a rebound. KIA won 6 consecutive wins from July 5th to July 12th, approaching the 50% win rate. Afterwards, they fought a 50% high battle, and from August 3rd to 5th, they recorded 3 consecutive victories, finally raising their win rate to above 50% (44 wins, 43 losses, 1 draw). Although they are still ranked 6th, it can be said that they took a breather.

As of the 8th, the KIA has played a total of 89 games, recording the fewest number of games among the 10 KBO league teams. In other words, there are a lot of games left to play. 50% win rate, and the situation has come to find some leeway and reorganize the season operation, but there is no time to breathe, it is the same as before and now. We need to fill in the number of wins we forgot at the beginning of the season. This season is even more so when fierce competition in the top five is expected.

KIA coach Kim Jong-guk also said that there is no room. Director Kim said, “Right now, the ranking is not very important. I think it is important to be able to consistently accumulate multipliers.” I think we have to overcome it,” he stressed. KIA will dispatch Lee Eui-ri, Choi Ji-min, and Choi Won-joon to the Asian Games. This is a huge loss of power. Before that, coach Kim’s basic plan is to win as many games as possible.

Because of this, it is expected that an all-out war will continue for the time being. However, an all-out war does not necessarily mean winning, and on the other hand, the all-out war strategy must be well planned. There are several conditions. It is the stabilization of the starting lineup and proper rest for the bullpen and fielders. You have to keep your center of gravity well in victory and leisure to gain the strength to run until the end of the season.

The importance of selection cannot be overemphasized. In the end, KIA, currently in 6th place, must maintain a winning streak as long as possible and minimize losses in order to overtake the team in front. Selection is the most important thing here. The current flow is a bit risky. It is fortunate that Thomas Panoni has joined the team and has a clear foreign ace. However, it is also true that the pitching content of Mario Sanchez and Yang Hyeon-jong is somewhat poor. This is one of the reasons why it is not easy to go to the winning streak.

Lee Eui-ri has to go to the Asian Games, and we always have to conservatively watch whether Yoon Young-chul, a rookie high school graduate, can digest full-time. This is why the shoulders of Sanchez and Yang Hyeon-jong are heavy. On the one hand, it is also necessary to create alternative resources that can be utilized in tight schedules. With the bullpen set to some extent, manager Kim also said that he was envisioning a ‘Plan C’ in preparation for Eui-ri Lee’s absence.

Beasts also need proper rest. KIA is still highly dependent on key players. The batting order also tends to be fairly fixed. This means that the existing main players are doing their job, but on the other hand, it also means that the physical problems of the main players are likely to emerge at the end of the season.

Coach Kim is also contemplating how to utilize backup players in the right place and maintain the explosive power of the lineup as much as possible. Manager Kim said, “The outfield players have a lot of experience. Goh Jong-wook, Lee Woo-seong, Lee Chang-jin, and Kim Ho-ryeong have a lot of first-team full-time experience. I plan to use them in various ways.” He then talked about another key player, saying, “I think Kim Gyu-seong in the infield should be left empty overall while (main players) are resting.”

Right away, Kim Sun-bin is found to have micro damage to his hamstring, and he will be out of power for about 10 days to 2 weeks. Despite some ups and downs, Kim Sun-bin recorded a batting average of 0.299 in 71 games this year. His batting average in his last 10 games was 0.342. How to fill this gap is likely to be closely related to maintaining the offensive power of the lower line. It is noteworthy whether the KIA bench can solve the equation of high difficulty.
