For repeated future programming, wouldn’t a flexible double header be better?

Recently, the KBO League is struggling with the remaining schedule. This is due to the increase in rainy season this year. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has set a policy that "if the Saturday and Sunday games are canceled between August 5 and September 10, the game will be reorganized to Monday, which will continue immediately." From the 29th of last month to the 7th of this month, games canceled due to rain will be organized on the preliminary day, and if there is no preliminary day, double headers will be organized in the same match after the 12th. If there is no same match, it will be organized after October 11.

But there has been a problem since the beginning of September. The showdown between the Doosan Bears and the KIA Tigers, which was scheduled to be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 5th, was canceled due to rain due to a sudden local downpour. The game on the 5th could not be solved with an "alternative" prepared by KBO. There is no preliminary date for the Jamsil match between the two teams, and there is no match for the same match after the 12th. Gwangju's three consecutive matches are the only ones to face-to-face matches.

The 2023 KBO professional baseball game between the Doosan Bears and the KIA Tigers, which was scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the afternoon of the 5th, was canceled due to sudden heavy rain. Yang Seok-hwan of the Doosan Bears is on the ground and is holding a rain cancellation ceremony to slide over the tarpaulin.

The 2023 KBO League LG Twins and kt Wiz match was held at kt Wiz Park in Suwon on the afternoon of the 5th. The game is being suspended due to a sudden downpour in the top of the fourth inning.

In fact, we can come up with a realistic alternative. There are two of the three consecutive games on weekdays, so you can quickly reorganize it into a double header. But this, too, is impossible. This is because KBO plans to proceed with a double header only once during the week. Although there are no specific regulations stipulating the restrictions, they were based on the implementation rules for reorganization made with the consent of each club. This is why it is impossible to "emergency organization" because Doosan and KIA are scheduled to play double headers with the Samsung Lions and the LG Twins on the 9th, respectively.

KBO's intention to limit the formation of double headers is good. The move is aimed at minimizing the burden as players consume a lot of physical strength. I know the intention, but I can't help it because I feel sorry. There are also many variables in the fact that both teams have a lot of remaining games. KIA played only 108 games as of the 5th, the longest remaining schedule among the 10 clubs. Doosan is also right above KIA with 111 games. The ranking is also fifth and sixth, and the spurt must be increased until the end for the postseason. The two teams, especially away KIA, will travel back and forth between Gwangju and Seoul for this one game later.

The match between Doosan and LG, which will be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the afternoon of the 29th, was canceled due to rain. Han Yong-deok, the game supervisor, is looking at the stadium.

If the schedule is urgently reorganized from the club's point of view, of course, it is burdensome. Still, it would be less burdensome to take a day off from work due to rain. Since the selection plan is already in place, the burden of appointment is less. KBO has also limited the number of consecutive games played by each club to up to nine games in the implementation rules. However, considering the day of rest caused by rain, he also does not collide even if he puts in a double header.

The same is true of Major League Baseball. MLB regulations, like KBO, do not impose any special restrictions on the implementation of double headers. This season, the New York Mets played a doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves on May 2 (Korea Standard Time) and played a doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers on the 4th, two days later.

It is certainly not easy to operate a schedule of 144 games a year in the KBO League with fewer domed stadiums. I won't rush to blame KBO. Instead, I hope that the remaining schedule operation will develop a little more in the future. Doubleheader cards can be reorganized as urgently as in this case, and even one or two games can be applied quickly from the beginning of the season to minimize the burden on the remaining schedule. If the burden of double headers is high on the field, it is possible to induce a wide range of appointments through entry or game time changes.

MLB also has no players. The Mets, who played two doubleheaders in three days, are 64 wins and 74 losses (as of the 6th), ranking only fourth among the five teams in the Eastern Division of the National League. He held out with a thin layer of players. If the Mets are possible, KIA and Doosan will be possible. After all, aren't they the same professional baseball team and players. 스포츠중계
