Three days have passed since the tearful farewell of Casey Kelly, the best foreign player in the history of the LG Twins. Still, the feeling of the farewell ceremony is lingering. Only Cha Myung-seok, the general manager, came back to Korea first because he thought he would be able to play hard to win the title only when new foreign pitcher Elijah Hernandez comes back to Korea. 스포츠토토
Cha was supposed to go back to Korea with him, but he left the country alone on Sunday. Several airlines have also recently suffered damage due to Microsoft cloud failures, which has affected LG.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said in a match against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 23rd, “Hernandez in Miami was supposed to come back to Atlanta with Cha, but it is said that domestic flights from Miami to Atlanta are not yet available.”
“If we had been together in Miami, we could have moved to Atlanta together by rental car and come to Korea. But it’s hard to drive alone to Atlanta,” coach Yeom said. “I told him to come as soon as possible. If he comes, I will get a visa as soon as possible so that he can throw it.”
The team plans to have the team pitch at least once before the visa comes out. “Since I can’t register because I don’t have a visa, I can’t play in the second division game, so I’m going to set up a practice game with the university team and have them throw in the actual game with the remaining team to check their condition,” Yeom said. “After watching the practice game, I think I can decide the number of pitches to throw 60 or 80 or 100 in the first division.”
Until Hernandez comes in, Kelly’s vacancy will be filled by Lee Sang-young for the time being. According to the starting rotation, Lee Sang-young is expected to take the mound against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 26th.
It was Kelly who thought to go all the way until the end of the first half, but I want to see how Hernandez’s pitching suddenly changed his mind, but I think we have to wait a little longer.
