LG Twins manager defends player opportunities amid slumps

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has defended his decision to continue giving starting players opportunities, even when they are experiencing slumps. He believes that consistency in chances is crucial for players to find their form and contribute to the team's success.

Yeom drew an analogy to the general workforce, suggesting that employees who have historically delivered results should not be dismissed after a few months of poor performance. "If you've achieved results, would you want to work at a company where you're let go after just a few months?" he questioned, highlighting the importance of player morale and job security within the team structure.

The manager stressed that the team's ability to play its signature style of baseball hinges on the performance of key players like Hong Chang-gi, Park Dong-won, and Moon Sung-ju. Their quick return to form is essential for the LG Twins to regain their competitive edge and execute their game plan effectively.

Yeom's comments came before the team's game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium, underscoring his commitment to player development and team cohesion even amidst performance challenges.
