SSG is still holding out its hope to advance to the post season. Currently, it ranks sixth with 65 wins, two draws and 68 losses. It is 2.5 games behind the fourth-ranked Doosan Bears (68 wins, two draws and 66 losses), and 1.5 games behind the fifth-ranked KT Wiz (68 wins, two draws and 68 losses).
SSG has nine games left in the regular season. In particular, eight consecutive games are scheduled. The home game against the LG Twins, which was scheduled to be held on the 13th, was canceled in rain and reorganized into a game on the 24th.
SSG will play a two-day home game against Kiwoom on May 19 and 20. It will then play an away game against the Suwon KT Wiz on May 21 and 22, and meet the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on May 23. It will briefly return to Incheon to meet LG on May 24, before facing the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on May 25-26. After a day off, it will play its last game of this season against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on May 28.
After eight consecutive games, one game will be played after a day’s rest. For SSG, eight consecutive games are very important. In particular, they have to win against KT and Doosan unconditionally.
The eight consecutive games disrupted SSG’s plans. This is a matter of starting pitchers. “If we enter the eight consecutive games, we will have to think about it,” said SSG manager Lee Soo-yong, who met reporters on the 13th. “We will have to do our best to fight against each other until the end. We will have to think more about which one will be effective with the power analysis team and the pitcher’s part.”
SSG is keeping its promise to advance to the post season. It secured two consecutive wins with the second-ranked Samsung Lions and also beat the first-ranked KIA Tigers. It is enjoying three consecutive wins.
SSG will field Drew Anderson as the starting pitcher for its showdown with Kiwoom on Wednesday. Anderson, who joined the team as a substitute for Robert Duggar, has played in 21 games, recording nine wins, two losses and 102 ⅔ innings with 46 walks and 144 strikeouts with an ERA of 3.86 WHIP (on-base allowed rate per inning).
Anderson took the mound in three games against Kiwoom this season and showed a strong performance with a 2.51 ERA with six outs and 19 strikeouts in 2 wins and 14 ⅓ innings.
This marks the beginning of eight games of destiny. Will SSG be able to smile in the remaining nine games.
