Two bitter rivals who share a soon-to-be-torn-down Seoul stadium as their home will square off to start the Korean baseball postseason this week. The LG Twins will host the Doosan Bears in the first game of the wild card round of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in the capital city. As the fourth seed, the Twins will advance to the next round with either a win or a tie Wednesday. If they lose, though, the Twins will have another opportunity to grab a win or a tie at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, back at Jamsil. The Bears, the fifth seed, must win two straight games at Jamsil to reach the next round. The KBO added the wild card round to the postseason in 2015 and only once has a fourth seed been eliminated — the 2024 Bears against the KT Wiz. The Twins will start former major leaguer Carlos Carrasco, who went 6-3 with a 4.05 ERA in 11 starts after joining the club in July. He tossed seven shutout innings against the Bears in his KBO debut on Aug. 1. The Bears will counter with Gwak Been, who led the KBO this year with a 2.24 ERA and
On Oct. 3, 2024, Wes Benjamin, then pitching for the KT Wiz, broke the hearts of many Doosan Bears fans. The American left-hander tossed seven shutout innings as the Wiz beat the Bears 1-0 in the second wild card contest in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason. Following a 4-0 win from the previous day, that second victory made the Wiz the first No. 5 seed to eliminate a No. 4 seed in the wild card round, which was introduced in 2015. Two years later, Benjamin is now an ace for the Bears, looking to author another upset. They will be the fifth seed in this year's wild card round against the fourth-ranked LG Twins, with their battle scheduled for Wednesday at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. In the wild card series, the lower-seeded team must win two straight games on the road to advance, whereas the higher-seeded club only needs a tie or a win, and gets two cracks at home to accomplish that feat. This partly explains why there has been just one upset so far. Having been a part of that first underdog victory two years ago, Benjamin said he believes it can be done again by thi
The agency for Korean football star Lee Kang-in warned of legal action Tuesday against "groundless" rumors accusing the midfielder of causing strife within the men's national team. "We have confirmed the indiscriminate spread of rumors online regarding Lee Kang-in that could not be further from the truth," The Black Label said in a statement. "Matters being discussed have nothing to do with Lee Kang-in and are groundless. We are gathering online comments and posts for spreading false rumors and possible defamation, and we will take legal action where necessary." The agency was referring to speculation that Lee, 24, had been responsible for disrupting chemistry inside the national team locker room. Following the most recent friendly match against Uzbekistan last Tuesday, three players born in 1996 — Kim Min-jae, Hwang Hee-chan and Hwang In-beom — reportedly offered to retire from international play over frustration with the current leadership group, led by 34-year-old captain Son Heung-min and his fellow 34-year-old Lee Jae-sung. A YouTuber later alleged that Lee Kang-in had sided wi
The national football federation on Tuesday called on people to refrain from hurling insults and personal attacks on players, saying such behavior does not help the sport. In a statement, the Korea Football Association (KFA) noted the recent spread of "unverified information and speculative assertions" on social media and online communities regarding members of the men's national team. The Taegeuk Warriors have come under siege in recent days over rumors of in-house feuding. Following a friendly match against Uzbekistan last Tuesday, three players born in 1996, Hwang Hee-chan, Hwang In-beom and Kim Min-jae, reportedly told their teammates that they would retire from international play, citing their frustration with the leadership group that includes longtime captain Son Heung-min and his fellow 34-year-old Lee Jae-sung. Online football fan sites and YouTube channels have been rampant with rumors on who started what within the national team — some backing Son as captain, and others calling for him to step aside and cede captaincy to a younger player. The KFA said while it respects diffe
