◆ Anchor: It rained for a long time yesterday before the game started. So the game was delayed for more than an hour, so now Samsung coach Park Jin-man is in a slightly unfair position. What did you hear about this position when you complained that there was already a forecast and you should not have entered the game?

◇ Min Hoon-ki: From the perspective of Samsung manager Park Jin-man, we can say that. In fact, if you look at the game before, the game started 66 minutes later than the scheduled time after a large tarpaulin was placed on the playground three times and folded repeatedly. And there was also a rain forecast, so there is no choice but to say that it is a little too much progress, but it's such a big cup, and all the fans came in, and I pushed ahead with the game because I prepared a lot in advance. In the end, it was concluded that it was the first suspended game in KBO postseason history, but it became a regrettable situation that could be disputed depending on the team.

◆ Anchor: Game 2 is scheduled for tonight. Then, will the first game that we didn't finish yesterday continue as it is?

◇ Min Hoon-ki: That's right. Suspended games restart as they were at the end of the previous day. In other words, the game will continue at 4 p.m. today with Samsung's no outs and runners on the first and second bases in the top of the sixth inning.

◆ Anchor: But today's weather forecast says there's another rain forecast in Gwangju. First of all, since it rained a lot yesterday, I don't think the stadium will be in good condition, is there a possibility that the first and second games will be delayed a little more?

◇ Min Hoon-ki: Actually, I was worried because there was a rain forecast today on the 22nd, when the second game will be held even before the series. However, as the rain fell faster than forecast, the first game was suspended, and if it continues to rain today, there is a possibility that it will be pushed back by a day. The forecast for rain in Gwangju continues to change now.

◆ Anchor: Coach Park Jin-man said, "If it rains again today, I think it's best not to play to protect the players," and if the first and second games are held at the same time today, I think the physical burden on the players will be considerable. What do you think?

◇ Min Hoon-ki: It's the biggest feast of professional baseball, and the sky is heartbroken. This may vary depending on the interpretation, but it is true that it is unfortunate for Samsung, where starter Won Tae-in was playing well in the first game yesterday. However, if it is postponed until today, it may be a little advantageous for Samsung to take a rest for Samsung pitchers and especially for Reyes, a starter in the second game, to take another day off. There can be many interpretations, but it is clear that both teams have to go through a difficult schedule anyway.
