It’s the dreaded “fall jinx.
LG Twins pitcher Choi Won-tae has been shut down early in the postseason yet again. Choi Won-tae started the first game of the best-of-three playoff series against Samsung at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, South Korea, on Wednesday and gave up five runs on eight hits (two home runs) in three innings with three strikeouts.
In the top of the first inning, Yoon gave up a leadoff double to Jung-Bin Yoon and an infield single to Ja-rook Koo to put runners on first and third. Diaz’s sacrifice fly scored the go-ahead run. In the second inning, they got one hit and no runs.
In the third inning, Kim Ji-chan and Yoon Jung-bin singled to put runners on first and third with no outs, and a 138-kilometer cutter from Koo Ja-uk was hit into the center field for a three-run home run. The score was 0-4.
In the top of the fourth inning, trailing 1-4, he gave up a solo home run to Kim Young-woong. The LG bench couldn’t take it anymore and replaced Choi Won-tae. LG then rallied to 4-7, but the bullpen gave up more runs and the team lost 4-10.
Choi Won-tae joined LG from Kiwoom in a trade last July. LG traded Choi for prospect Lee Joo-hyung, pitcher Kim Dong-gyu, and a first-round pick in the 2024 MLB draft in hopes of a championship run. However, in the postseason last year and this year, Choi has repeatedly disappointed.
In Game 2 of last year’s Korean Series,
Choi was pulled with one out in the first inning. He gave up four runs in ⅓ inning. In the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 4 of the Korean Series, with a 15-3 lead, Choi came in for relief and gave up back-to-back singles to put runners on first and second with no outs, 카지노사이트 and a groundout and sacrifice fly to score a run. Choi’s struggles were overshadowed as LG won the Korean Series 4 games to 1
In Game 3 of this year’s semifinals, Choi was pulled early again after giving up three runs (two earned) in 2⅔ innings in Game 3.
Ironically, LG won Game 2 of last year’s Korean Series and Game 3 of the semifinals after Choi was pulled early. This is because their bullpen and hitters stepped up despite Choi’s struggles. In Game 2 of the Korean Series, seven bullpen pitchers tossed 8⅔ scoreless innings before Park Dong-won hit a game-winning two-run homer in the eighth inning to win 5-4. In Game 3 of the semifinals, Son Joo-young pitched 5⅓ scoreless innings and the offense exploded for a 6-5 victory.
Ahead of the first game of the playoffs against Samsung on Wednesday
LG manager Yoon Kyung-yeop said, “Won-tae Choi had a lot of flexibility in the regular season, but against Samsung, he didn’t have any flexibility. I hope today will be the day he gets scratched, and I think the probability is high.”
But Choi, who was 2-1 with a 0.84 ERA in 10⅔ innings against Samsung this year, didn’t make it past the third inning after allowing a long ball. There were a lot of walks. Unlike the two previous times Choi’s early exits were good jinxes for a come-from-behind victory, Samsung was unable to use its bullpen for long against Choi and lost.
In four postseason games in an LG uniform, Choi is 1-1 with a 15.43 ERA (12 earned runs in seven innings). “If we go to Game 5, Won-tae Choi will start,” said manager Yoon Kyung-yup. LG, down one game to none, will have to reverse the series to get Choi’s next chance.
