LG Twins manager Yeom Gyeong-yeop apologized to fans for his decision to substitute star players early in the team's recent game against Lotte. The manager explained his reasoning after the game was rained out on the 28th, following a devastating 3-13 loss the previous day.

The defeat was particularly painful as it allowed KIA, who had a day off, to overtake LG in the standings. The Twins now sit in 4th place. The team's struggles were compounded by the performance of rookie pitcher Park Si-won, who lasted only 1⅔ innings and gave up 8 runs.

Yeom acknowledged the disappointment of the fans who attended the game, stating, "I apologize to the fans who came to watch." His decision to pull key players early, despite the potential for fan backlash, suggests a strategic move aimed at preserving the team's resources or signaling dissatisfaction with the game's trajectory. The manager's comments aim to address the public's concern while defending his tactical choices during a difficult period for the team.
