LG Twins manager Yeom Kyeong-yeop has firmly stated that pitcher Wells, the team's Asian quarter player, will not be granted a rest period despite his recent struggles. Wells has been giving up a high number of runs, with the team conceding six, six, and five runs in recent outings, raising concerns about his form.
Despite the pitcher's difficulties, Yeom Kyeong-yeop indicated that he does not plan to give Wells a break. The manager's stance suggests a belief in the player's ability to overcome his slump or a lack of viable alternatives within the current team structure. This decision comes as the LG Twins prepare to face the SSG Landers in a midweek series.
If he had fatigue, I would have to give him a break, but...
The LG Twins have historically performed exceptionally well against the SSG Landers, boasting an impressive 8-1 record this season. This dominant head-to-head record might influence the manager's confidence in his team's overall strength, even with Wells's pitching concerns. The upcoming games will test whether the team's strong performance against SSG can compensate for any weaknesses in their pitching rotation.
I have no plans to give him a break.
