Will we be able to see a substitute today.
Ruben Kadenas, a foreign hitter of the Samsung Lions, who said there was no problem in the hospital’s detailed examination and that he had no pain when he swung, but did not go to the game and eventually caused the coach to explode.
When asked about Kadenas at the Daegu SSG Landers last Sunday (April 4), Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, “Ask yourself instead of asking me,” adding, “I don’t know when I will play. He said he is fine…He continued, “It’s just…. To be honest, I think we need to make a decision,” Park even said in a meaningful way. “Ask yourself, not yourself. You say it’s okay, but I don’t know,” Park said calmly once again.
Cardenas was replaced on July 26 when he felt pain in his back while swinging in the first batter’s box at the bottom of the first inning of the KT Wiz match in Daegu. Since then, the hospital’s detailed examination has not found any abnormalities, but he has continued to feel pain. Coach Park did not bring Cardenas to the Jamsil LG Twins on July 30-1 and prepared for the three consecutive weekend games by rehabilitating in Daegu. Koo Ja-wook and Park Byung-ho, who are in the entry, were immediately brought to Jamsil to play in the first team when their condition improved, but Cardenas, who is in the first team entry, gave them a great benefit to playing in Daegu.
He showed signs of recovery little by little. He usually had pain, but disappeared, and when he lightly hit, he had no pain. And he became okay even with normal batting. As he has been in the first team, he could have taken at least one batter’s box as a substitute if he gets better, but Kadenas spared himself. He postponed it a day or two until Thursday when he was banned from playing until the game, and ended up exploding.
It would have been better to remove him from the entry for the first team if he could not play on Friday. If he had been excluded from the first team on Wednesday, the day after he felt pain in his back, he could have hired another player in the meantime. It could have been a better choice for the team to take 10 days off from the rest day of the game against the Hanwha Eagles in Daegu starting on Sunday. 스포츠토토
Since Coach Park made a decision, I wondered if there would be any change in the entry on the 5th, but there was none. This situation could be considered that Cardenas could play in the game.
If Cardenas plays in the match against Hanwha on June 6, he will make his comeback in 11 days. Cardenas, who replaced David McKinnon in the second half of the season, had a batting average of 348 (eight hits in 23 at-bats) and two homers and five RBIs in six games.
Samsung has won four consecutive games without Kadenas, and moved up to third place with no gap with the second-ranked LG Twins. Although it is ranked eighth, it needs Kadenas’ support as it has to deal with Hanwha, which had a devastating blow that won seven consecutive games last week.
