Ryu Hyun-jin Challenges for 4th Win Against Oakland on the 7th…
After four days rest, sortie with a new gunner
Best catcher Jansen leaves with a fractured finger… The return of Chapman and Bisset is also uncertain.
Auckland, a low-ranking team, has been on the rise recently…
Shall we continue our good fight despite the bad news?
Ryu Hyun-jin
Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto Blue Jays), who continues to win even
after undergoing the second elbow ligament joint surgery in his life,
will try again for his 4th win of the season. 바카라사이트
On the 4th (Korean time), the Toronto team announced Ryu Hyun-jin as the starting pitcher for the visiting game
against the Oakland Athletics of the Major League Baseball (MLB)
to be held at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, USA at 4:37 a.m. on the 7th.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who underwent surgery in June of last year,
has overcome concerns around him and continued to pitch well in every game
since returning to the big leagues last month.
Except for pitching only 4 innings due to being hit in the leg by a batted ball
against the Cleveland Guardians on the 8th of last month,
he is cruising through 5 innings in each game.
After returning, he posted 3 wins, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 2.48 in 6 games.
The content of the pitch was also good.
He showed off stable performance with his trademark sharp pitch control and various breaking balls.
Colorado Rockies
On the 2nd, he led the team to victory by holding the Colorado Rockies’
batting line to 2 runs in 5 innings at Coors Field, known as the ‘graveyard of pitchers’.
He could not become a winning pitcher due to arson in the bullpen.
The outlook for the Auckland match is bright.
Oakland is an underdog with 42 wins and 95 losses this season.
They are at the bottom of the American League (AL) West Division,
their chances of advancing to the postseason have disappeared.
Oakland is last in the AL with a team batting average of 0.224 this season.
Team OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage, 0.670) is also last.
Oakland
However, the catch is that Oakland’s batting spirit is revitalized,
as they recently scored 21 points in a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels.
The player to watch out for is designated hitter Brent Rooker, who hit 23 home runs this season.
Although his batting accuracy is somewhat poor,
he was strong against left-handed pitchers this season.
The batting average against left-handed pitchers (0.268) is higher than that of right-handed pitchers (0.230).
Infielder Jack Gerloff’s hitting has also been hot lately.
Oakland’s starting pitcher is left-hander JP Sears.
MLB
He debuted in MLB last year, and his performance this season is not very good,
with 3 wins, 11 losses, and an ERA of 4.60.
In many ways, it is not a bad environment for Ryu Hyun-jin to achieve victory.
However, the problem for Ryu Hyun-jin is that his starting teammates have left the team due to injuries.
In particular, starting catcher Danny Jansen, his ‘best friend’,
was recently placed on the injured list (IL) due to a fracture in the middle finger of his right hand,
so he needs to work with other catchers.
Ryu Hyun-jin pitched 292 innings after moving to Toronto, and 215⅓ of them were with Jansen.
Ryu Hyun-jin has to team up with Alejandro Kirk or Tyler Heineman,
but it’s a burden because they don’t have much experience working together.
He is not a pitcher who threatens pitches,
but a player who competes with a variety of breaking pitches,
so the catcher’s lead is important.
It’s not just this.
Infielders
Starting infielders Matt Chapman and Bo Bichette, who left due to injury last month, have yet to return.
It is unclear whether he will return before the game against Oakland on the 7th.
For Ryu Hyun-jin, a groundball-inducing pitcher, there is a big gap between the two players.
It is also important that this is his first start after four days of rest since returning from injury.
Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound after resting for more than five days.
Attention is also focused on whether he will be able to take charge of more than 6 innings
for the first time since his return against Oakland.
Ryu Hyun-jin completed only 5 innings in 5 of the 6 games he played after returning and was replaced in the 6th inning.
Toronto Club
He has never thrown more than 90 pitches.
This is a measure taken by the Toronto club with elbow recovery in mind.
The last time Ryu Hyun-jin had a quality start (3 earned runs or less in 6 innings)
was against the Cincinnati Reds on May 21 last year (6 scoreless innings).
Ryu Hyun-jin also has the burden of having to throw the ball at the crossroads of Toronto’s advance to the postseason.
Toronto won 7-5 against Colorado on the 4th, but the Texas Rangers,
the third-place American League wild card team, also won,
maintaining a 1.5-game gap between the two teams.
To advance to the postseason, you must place in the top three wild cards.
The game against Oakland is a must-win game.
