There is a word that is heard most often in the field beyond September. ‘Tiredness’ and ‘stamina’. As long as we are human, we cannot help but get tired. Even professional athletes in the world have a hard time. However, if you get hurt at this point, it is literally a fatal blow. The time has come where preventing injuries is a skill.
KBO League clubs had a difficult week. On the 9th, double headers were held at as many as four stadiums. It was difficult for both the manager and the players.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop and Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who are novice coaches, said in unison, “This is my first time playing a double header as a coach. It wasn’t easy. “It wasn’t easy because I had to think about the second game while playing the first game,” he said, sticking his tongue out.
Naturally, players have a hard time. Although it is September, it is still hot. Even though it is not at the level of midsummer heat, sweat continues to flow. Even if you just play one game, you can lose a few kilograms. After playing two games, I am bound to be tired.
In particular, in the case of Doosan, they even played a game on Monday the 4th. Although the game on the 5th was canceled due to rain, it was inevitable that the team could not rest when they should have.
Yang Seok-hwan said on the 10th, “Physically, it is very difficult. He played in Busan on Monday and came up immediately to prepare for the game. In effect, he had been playing baseball for two full weeks. “He is tired physically and mentally,” he said. Even though he performed well, such as hitting a home run, his expression was stiff.

Kang Seung-ho also said, “Honestly, I’m tired. I think the same is true for all players. You must eat well and rest well. “I will have a good rest day,” he said. The Samsung players we faced also said, “The weather is still hot and it is difficult. “Still, it’s the end of the season, so we have to play hard,” they said in unison.메이저놀이터
The remaining schedule begins on the 12th. The system of playing two three-game series and taking a day off is not possible. There are differences for each team, but overall it is uneven.
In other words, it moves frequently. There are also schedules where you have to pack your bags today, move to another stadium to unpack, and then pack your bags again after the game. This is also work. Moreover, you have to sit on the bus for several hours.
There may be another double header. First of all, a double header between SSG-LG is scheduled for the 17th. Furthermore, after the remaining schedule was confirmed, additional games were canceled due to rain. To be processed at a later date. If the games are grouped together, there may be days where two games are played in one day.
The end of the season was always difficult. He complained of fatigue and spoke of difficulties. On the one hand, there is nothing we can do about it. The season must be played. It is time to think about ‘how to play well.’
As of the 11th, KIA has the most games remaining with 30, and Kiwoom has the fewest with 13 games remaining. Winning is good, fighting to the top five is good, but the most important thing is preventing injuries. If you’re hurt you can’t do anything. The team also cries at the loss of power.
If a player selected for the Asian Games national team gets injured, the shock is doubled. Because this is the most difficult time, more thorough management is needed.
