The game was reorganized on Monday, the 4th.
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop and acting manager Lotte manager Lee Jung-woon all said, "It follows heaven's will and reason. "We can't do anything about it," he said, "I didn't care, but I wanted to play the game on this day and I wanted to avoid Monday's game. The reason is that both teams have double headers on the 9th. Doosan will have a doubleheader with Samsung in Jamsil on the 9th, and Lotte will have a doubleheader with NC in Changwon. Assuming that the three-day game will be played normally on Sunday, the two teams will be scheduled for nine consecutive games until next week. Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, "I need to pray," and hoped to play the game eagerly. Lotte's acting head coach Lee Jong-woon also hinted at starting the game inside, saying, "We'd better play, too," but it didn't go as I wanted. The sky turned a blind eye to the prayers and wishes of the coaches of both teams. He held a "hearing festival" praying for a clear day, but the march of hell was confirmed. Above all, I was worried about the condition of the players who had to play nine consecutive games. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said on the 2nd, "We have to play today. If we play until Monday, it will be nine consecutive games. "If you do a doubleheader, the players will die," he said. In particular, from Doosan's point of view, the starting lineup's order was completely twisted at a time when even the starting rotation, which was reorganized into Choi Seung-yong (Blister) and Kim Dong-joo (Loss), was not operating properly. The match against Lotte is important right now, but Lee Seung-yeop is not happy to cancel the game on the 2nd as he focuses on the big showdown with fifth-ranked KIA on the week. As fifth-ranked KIA has won seven consecutive games, the difference between the two teams is currently 2.5 games. As the game was already canceled on the 1st, the idea of focusing on the match against KIA was broken. Brandon (2nd) and Alcantara (3rd) were scheduled to play one-two punches against Lotte one after another. But even this didn't work out. Brandon will play in the game on the 3rd. In the end, Brandon cannot play against KIA completely. The plan for an all-out war went up in smoke as one of the most obvious starting cards in a major Japanese match failed. If the game had been played on the 2nd, Brandon could have played against KIA on the 7th after the 4th break, but even this became impossible. The order of Alcantara should also be considered. No matter how the KIA match is played, Doosan cannot estimate how it will play four consecutive games, including a doubleheader against Samsung over the weekend, at a time when the starting lineup is empty. Coach Lee said, "Choi Seung-yong is in a hurry. We still have a long way to go," he explained. Next week's starting plan itself has completely deviated, and on top of that, the physical burden on the fielders and bullpen should be paid attention. The same is true of Lotte, which is in seventh place in desperate need of the fifth round. Lotte also has to play nine consecutive games. At a time when they have to hit and go up, they will play three consecutive games in eighth-place Samsung and Ulsan, and move to Changwon to play four consecutive games, including a doubleheader with fourth-place NC. Doosan should move back to Seoul after the game on Monday on the 4th to play six consecutive Jamsil games, but Lotte's travel distance itself is not a problem as it goes back and forth between Ulsan and Changwon. However, for Lotte, which has to widen the gap with eighth-ranked Samsung and narrow the gap with fourth-ranked NC, nine consecutive games cannot be pleasant. It is currently 3.5 games away from 8th place Samsung and 7 games away from 4th place NC. Doosan, ranked sixth, has a 3.5 game difference. Right now, Charlie Barnes, like Doosan starter Brandon, has not been able to manage his condition as his starting line continues to be pushed back. Still, acting Lee explained the reality that the best starting card at this point cannot be put back, saying, "We are having a hard time, but the opponent is also having a hard time." Barnes, like Brandon, was announced as a starter on the 3rd. In addition, as they played nine consecutive games, an alternative selection was needed, and Lee said, "I think if the game is delayed, there will be another new player." "It can be an opportunity for new players," he said, adding, "Since there is a doubleheader, alternative starters include (Han) Hyun-hee, (Shim) Jae-min, and (Kim) Jin-wook," and hoped for them, referring to the alternative selection candidates. It is not an easy remaining game schedule in many ways.
