Doosan already has to play a double header against the Samsung Lions at home on the 9th of next month. No more rain cancellations are welcome. Director Lee Seung-yeop also said, “I thought it wouldn’t rain, but it does. Now I have to play… “It’s raining, so I can’t help it,” he sighed.
Doosan will play three consecutive matches against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan in this weekend series, and according to the forecast, considerable rain is expected in Busan during this period.

Doosan already has a doubleheader on September 9th, but if Monday’s game is scheduled, they may have to play eight games a week.
Coach Lee worried, “There was a rain forecast for the weekend, but if that happens, we could play 8 games next week.”
At the same time, coach Lee Seung-yeop said of the double header, “Everyone is in the same situation. If you play a doubleheader, you can win 2 in one day, but you can also lose 2,” he said. Good or bad, the evaluation will be divided according to the results,” he explained.
Director Dan Lee said, “If the game is too late, the burden on the team can be increased. It can be helpful to play the game steadily now,” he expressed his regret at the cancellation of the rain again.
Left-hander Choi Seung-yong, who was replaced on the 19th with his finger peeling in the game against the NC Dinos in Jamsil, is expected to be seen on the first team stage soon. Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “It may take a little longer (for Choi Seung-yong to return), but he plans to pitch in the bullpen this weekend.” As for the best scenario,” he hinted at Choi Seung-yong’s return.
Meanwhile, Doosan announced Kwak Bin as the starting pitcher against LG on the 31st instead of Brandon Waddell, who was scheduled to start that day. LG also replaced Lee Jeong-yong with Casey Kelly.
