There are a lot of games that have been postponed due to rain this postseason.

Both the suspended Game 1 and Game 2 of the Korean Series have been delayed by a day.

Whose side is this rain on?

The overnight rain caused the water to accumulate over the tarpaulin covering the infield.

The grass was wet and there was also a small puddle next to the dirt-covered first base.

The KBO of the Korea Baseball Organization postponed both the remaining games of the first game and the second game, which were postponed by one day, taking into account the rain forecast due to such stadium conditions.

In addition to the first suspension in postseason history, the two team coaches have also been complicated by the variables that a day off will bring.

Samsung, which was disappointed that it could only use Won Tae-in, who threw well until the 5th inning, turned bad news into good news.

If Won Tae-in is greedy after starting Game 4 because he can take four days off, there is a scenario in which he can take the mound until Game 7.

Koo Ja-wook, who is recovering from a knee injury
, is also a little more likely to play.

KIA, which welcomed the suspension of the game by cutting off the bad flow in the first game, says there is no disadvantage in delaying the second game.

, but KIA also has room to use the first-round starting nail in Game 4, and they also have cards to use Yoon Young-chul and Kim Do-hyun, who were starting pitchers in Game 4, as bullpens in advance.

Coach Lee Bum-ho expected the players to change from the sixth inning of the first game because the young players felt the weight of the Korean series firsthand.

Yang Hyun-jong will start for KIA in the second game following Game 1
, and Samsung will put in a player who did not use in the first game between Hwang Dong-jae and left-handed Lee Seung-hyun.
