“They say it’s like running in a swimming pool.”

SPOTV commentator Oh Jae-won looked at the ground with his own hands ahead of the match against the NC Dinos in Jamsil on the 5th, and expressed concern to the club officials. Due to the aftermath of rain all day from the evening of the 4th to the 5th, the ground condition was no different from muddy water. Commissioner Oh played Jamsil Baseball Stadium for nearly 20 years as a member of the Doosan Bears before retiring last year. As a former infielder, he was famous as a player who knew the ground condition of Jamsil Baseball Stadium better than anyone else and carefully observed it.

One official said, “Commissioner Oh Jae-won looked at the ground directly and said, ‘It’s no different from playing in a swimming pool.’ It would have been difficult to do,” he said.

Nevertheless, Jamsil pushed ahead with the match. The rain had subsided a little, but the game started even though there was a continuous rain forecast. Suwon (KIA-kt match) and Incheon (Lotte-SSG) had decided early on to cancel due to rain. The situation in Jamsil was not much different, but Doosan and NC players had to prepare for the game.

As a result, there were many injured. NC infielder Park Min-woo was replaced due to hamstring pain in the course of running base at the beginning of the game. Injuries during base play are closely related to ground conditions, so it was difficult to say that there was no weather effect. Outfielder Kim Seong-wook also complained of hamstring pain after the game.

NC coach Kang In-kwon shared the news of the injuries of Park Min-woo and Kim Seong-wook, saying, “There are a lot of things that I am a little concerned about because the temperature is too low. said there is

However, the game on the 6th was also enforced in the rain. The ground was still muddy due to the rain that had fallen all day, and by 7pm, the players’ uniforms were all wet and it rained so much that the clothes they were wearing underneath were all wet. Rainwater dripped from the helmets of the players standing at bat, and steam from the players’ bodies was captured on the broadcast screen as it was due to the cold day. In the same weather situation, Incheon and Suwon decided to cancel the game after a rain break, but Jamsil played the game to the end without interruption.

Eventually another injured person came out. Doosan catcher Yang Eui-ui was sprinting during a base run in the 4th inning and felt a muscle pull in his left thigh and was replaced. In the 7th inning, there was also a scene that affected the pitchers’ performance. Doosan pitcher Choi Ji-kang was captured with the mound shaking during the pitching process, shaking his balance. It was to the extent that the pitcher was replaced by Park Chi-guk from Choi Ji-gang, and the referees asked the ground management team to repair the mound. 메이저사이트

Due to inclement weather, spectators were also cut off. Doosan demonstrated its ability to mobilize spectators by selling out 23,750 seats for two consecutive days in the home opening series against the Lotte Giants on the 1st and 2nd. However, only 2170 people were mobilized on the 5th and 3724 people were mobilized on the 6th. Originally, there were fewer spectators on weekdays than on weekends, but there were not many spectators who wanted to watch the game in the cold and rain.

The players are players, but the spectators also had to fight the cold in the rain. After the game on the 6th, Doosan infielder Yang Seok-hwan even asked the fans, “Thank you for your support on a really cold day. I hope you go home and take good care of yourself so you don’t catch a cold.”

It is not to support the overuse of the decision to cancel the rain from the opening. However, it is necessary to consider whether the only answer is to force the game if the ground conditions and weather are not good enough to hinder the performance and injure the players. It was Jamsil’s performance that made me tilt my head for two days in a row.
