which can lead to feelings of impatience.
Coach Lee met with reporters ahead of the home game against Samsung held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 16th and said,
“At some point, I stopped looking at the leaderboard” and added,
“At this point, it is better to focus on our team’s performance rather than competing with other teams” said.
Lee Soong-yong also predicted that the current competitive atmosphere in the league will continue.
Coach Lee said, “Perhaps this year, we will have to record a winning percentage of 0.530 or higher to advance to the postseason.”

such as managing the starting rotation to work well” he said.
In addition, I did not forget to pay attention to managing the team atmosphere in order to survive in the fierce competition.
Coach Lee Soong-yong smiled and said, “I haven’t gotten angry with the players once yet,” and then added,
“It’s easy for the members to get stressed when we play each and every (intense) game,
so I try to maintain a good atmosphere as much as possible.”
He continued by saying, “Among the coaching staff,
pitching coach Bae Young-soo is playing the role of atmosphere maker, and so far, it is very good.”
Coach Lee Soong-yong also analyzed the reason why veteran ace Kim Kwang-hyun,
who is starting this day’s game, performed poorly this season, saying,
“There may have been environmental factors.”
