"See you in Incheon" SSG's players rally from the brink

Hanyusum "If I'm not chased, I'll lie, I'll just take today's game"

SSG Landers batter Han Yoo-seom

SSG Landers' eldest brother Choo Shin-soo (41) walked past with a "See you in Incheon" before the third game of the KBO semi-playoffs (best-of-five) against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 25th.

Choi, 36, followed suit, saying the same to fans in the stands before heading back to the dugout.

SSG, last year's Korean Series champions, dropped both Game 1 and Game 2 of the Semi-Finals at Anbang.

It was even more shocking that Roenis Elias and Kim Kwang-hyun, the team's "one-two punch," took a knee.

"Honestly, realistically, that's all we can say (to go to Incheon)," said Han Yoo-seom (34), SSG's hottest hitter, whose batting lineup as a whole has slumped. "Our thoughts are all the same now, and we're only thinking about going back to Incheon somehow."

If SSG wins Game 3 today and Game 4 on the 26th, they can return home for Game 5 on the 28th.

Hanyusum throws dolls at fans

Game 2 of the baseball semifinals between the NC Dinos and the SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on March 23. SSG's Han Yoo-seom throws a doll to the fans after hitting a solo home run in the sixth inning.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't (psychologically) driven," he said. "It's not like we can look behind us. We have to look ahead. We have to look ahead, and we have to believe in what we've done so far and just take today's game."

Han Yoo-seom hit back-to-back home runs in the second game of the Semi-Finals on April 23, but his team lost 3-7.

He was responsible for all three of SSG's runs in that game.

"In the regular season, (two home runs) would be a record, but in the postseason, it doesn't matter if you're on the team or not, so (hitting back-to-back home runs) is meaningless," he said.

On this day, Han batted fourth.

"I think the coach believes in me. I don't put a lot of importance on it (returning to the No. 4 spot)," he said, adding, "I'll focus on winning."

Han went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in the regular season against NC starter Tanner Tully.

"He's a pitcher I've faced in the regular season. In baseball, things don't always go according to plan, but today, I hope it went the way every player thought it would."

"I hope the reverse sweep (winning three games in a row after two straight losses) becomes a reality. That's what I'm hoping for," he said, before heading back to the locker room. 카지노사이트
