The manager explained that the intention of the coaching staff is for the left-hander to be able to work between four and five innings, before resorting to the relief, as has been the plan used during the tournament. Pujols acknowledged that one of the challenges of the matchup is the limited information available on some Korean players, although he highlighted the prior work of the scouting department. "We are going to stick to our plan and try to execute it. We know there isn't that much information, but we trust the scouts' advance and the reports they've given us to carry out our game plan," he said. The Dominican leader also pointed out that the team is prepared to make adjustments during the match if the situation requires it. "If any adjustments need to be made tonight, they'll be made during the game. The important thing is to be prepared and keep that window open to react," he affirmed.
