"If you were going to do a doubleheader, you didn't have to hurry up and open, did you?"
Between the fast opening and the burden of doubleheader, complaints are pouring in at the scene.
The KBO has decided to implement a doubleheader if Friday and Saturday games are canceled from April 18 this year. It was originally scheduled to be implemented earlier, but it was postponed until after April 13 to strengthen safety management after the Changwon spectator accident.
If Friday's game is canceled, a doubleheader will be set up on Saturday, and if Saturday's game is canceled, a doubleheader will be set up on Sunday. Only one game per team can be set up per week. However, doubleheaders will not be set up in June to August during the hot season.
On the field, there is a great fear of doubleheader. Both teams with good performance and teams with poor performance are in the same position. Injured players or teams that are not in full force, and even top teams with solid main players want to avoid doubleheaders. It is a very physical burden to play 18 innings a day, at least 6 hours. Pitcher management is particularly difficult. In the case of bullpen pitchers, there should be a rare case of taking the mound two games a day. This is because winning is the top priority, no matter how much doubleheader you are.
On Saturday, the 19th, it rained from the morning in Incheon and Seoul and other metropolitan areas. The topic at the scene was by far a doubleheader. If the game is postponed due to rain or no games, the pressure to do a doubleheader on Sunday, the 20th, was a big factor.
There was a reason why KBO revived the doubleheader. It is true that the weather in Korea is unpredictable due to climate change, the number of games canceled due to sudden Scorching rain has increased, and various cancellations such as fine dust cancellation and cold wave cancellation have increased compared to the past. As the number of canceled games increases, the regular season schedule becomes longer, and if the postseason schedule is pushed back, various problems arise. There are also variables that cause disruption in preparation for international competitions held after the end of the season such as the Asian Games, Premier 12, and APBC, and increase the risk of injury in outdoor stadiums due to cold weather. It is also his will to finish the season within a fixed range as much as possible.
However, in the field, it is widely believed that there is no reason to implement a double header this year.
This year, the KBO League played its regular season opener on Mar. 22, ahead of the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan. In addition, there are no special international competition events this year. Although the national team's warm-up match was scheduled at Tokyo Dome in Japan on November 15 and 16, it is a later schedule and has a different character as it is a simple warm-up match.
The opening of this season was particularly fast, and many coaches say KBO should have been flexible to prevent doubleheaders from playing this year. 온라인바카라
"I started the season a week earlier than any other time, and I don't know why I have to do a doubleheader since there are no international competitions this year. Maybe that's why the rainy weather is too much for each other," A said.
Coach B also said, "A lot of fans come to the weekend game. If you double-header, you will lose one game in terms of box office performance." We have to show good performance to the audience. Wouldn't it be better to decide early on a day when the rain forecast is certain and watch the game properly in a good weather? That way, 10 million spectators can continue to take home the game."
