The 2024 KBO League is nearing the end. Each team has about 30 games left. And the remaining schedule is out. Routines are broken. The head coach’s “in the head” also gets complicated.안전놀이터
The remaining schedule is from Thursday. There are 102 games, including 50 undecided games and 52 canceled games. The regular season ends on September 28. It is not a schedule to hold three consecutive games. There are also two consecutive games, and there are cases where you have to pack after just one game. It is cumbersome, but there is nothing you can do.
The number of games is also different. There are fewer teams left, and there are many teams left. There are also pros and cons, as there are fewer, as there are many. Lotte will play almost a full month from the 30th to September 28th. Excluding Monday off, there is only one day on September 12th when there is no game.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, “I don’t know if it’s good or not yet. I don’t know right now. First of all, a lot of games means that you have a chance to make up for it. It’s not bad if you think that way.”
“There is opposition, too. If the opponent has fewer games, the management of starting pitchers will change again. If you don’t play a few games a week, you don’t have to use all five starters. Shouldn’t you focus on using good pitchers? We continue to meet strong pitchers. That part will be taken,” he said.
Another manager’s view is similar. “We have relatively few cancellations. We usually play about four games a week in the remaining schedule. We can use them primarily as good starters. I think that will be okay in that area,” Samsung manager Park Jin-man said.
Manager Lee Soo-yong of SSG also said, “I don’t think we have a bad schedule. I think we should start. We should focus on the strongest pitchers. We have decided to focus on the fourth starting pitcher rather than the fifth starting pitcher. We can add the rest in the latter half with a plus one.”
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, “It is heaven’s will that we have played many games. There are not many games left. If we are spaced apart, it will be okay for the starters as well as for the management of the must-win group. I think it will be okay for you.”
One win is more important toward the end. If a starter throws well, it is advantageous. The more the first to third starters are used than the fourth to fifth starters, the higher the probability of winning. If there is a gap between games, there will be no consecutive wins.
The batters also have time to rest. If you don’t play too long, you may lose your senses, but there is no problem for a day or two. Rather, it is a welcome part.
The competition is fierce in the rankings. Kia, the No. 1 team, has some leeway, but it is still hard to predict who will rank second or fifth. The team below is also looking up. Which team will laugh at the remaining schedule.
