Twins 6, White Sox 3: A fitting finish to the first half

Jake Peavy pitching when he shouldn't. Alex Rios making bad decisions. Adam Dunn going hitless. An unheralded pitcher having an easy day for himself.

Ladies and gentlemen, your first-half Chicago White Sox!

Peavy, who said his arm isn't as fresh as he'd like, certainly looked off. His velocity was down and he couldn't hit the mitt -- and as a result, two Rochester Red Wings were able to put him on the ropes in the fourth. After a pair of walks to Rene Tosoni and Tsuyoshi Nishioka, the .180-hitting Drew Butera was able to line an OK slider to center for the game's first run.

One batter later, Jason Repko smashed a hanging, center-cut changeup past Mark Teahen into the corner. That gave Minnesota a 2-0 lead after four, and Peavy didn't survive the fifth. He gave up two singles, a sac fly, and two more singles before Ozzie Guillen pulled the pug after the 90th pitch. Will Ohman ended up getting a 4-3-6 double play when Paul Konerko caught Tosoni straying off second, but that put a fifth run on the board for the Twins.

Star-divide

 

That would be enough for Anthony Swarzak, who threw a lot of first-pitch curves for strikes and took advantage of Larry Vanover's wide zone the way Peavy couldn't. Juan Pierre led off with a single, and the Sox didn't collect their second hit until Rios' one-out single in the fifth.

The Sox did figure out how to get to Swarzak in the sixth, as Paul Konerko grounded a single to center to spoil the shutout in the sixth. But after walking Dunn, Swarzak struck out Carlos Quentin to escape with a quality start.

It took Ron Gardenhire using his worst reliever for the Sox to finally string together good at-bats. Rios led off the seventh with a walk, scored on A.J. Pierzynski's double, and Gordon Beckham replaced him at second with a double of his own. That narrowed the Minnesota lead to 5-3, but the Sox never threatened again.

Sergio Santos helped put it out of reach when he threw a wild pitch on a slider in the dirt with a runner on third. The ball bounced straight back to Pierzynski, and if only he could've secured the ball before going to apply the tag, the Sox would've only faced a two-run deficit entering the bottom of the ninth.

Notes:

*Rios twice missed the cutoff man on ill-advised throws home. The first one didn't make a difference, but the second one may have allowed the fifth run to score, since he scored on that 4-3-6 double play.

*The Sox are now 7-28 against the Twins in their last 35 games.

Has a team ever failed so badly against one team, so often, while succeeding (somewhat) against other teams just fine? If the Sox never played the Twins in the past two years, we’d have a winning record (assuming the Sox went .500 in makeup games). It’s heartbreaking, cause my entire f’ing family is from Minnesota and I have to listen to their Uff Da-ing asses.

by hoodlight on Jul 10, 2011 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

I hear you...

Quentin is an extremely extreme of extreme streaky hitter. He will give you numbers in a week that make Pujols look like Kotsay, and then he will go empty for 3 weeks…so empty that Kotsay will look like Pujols this time. I have always commented (And many here go against me) that Quentin, albeit of ending the whole season with very decent numbers, is not very valuable. My point is that he contributes for too few games…yes his contribution is superb, and in those games we will score 10 runs, etc…. My point is that one does not seem to “feel” Quentin’s production. He will end up having 90 RBIs, but half of that would occur in 15 games, from which we may win 10 games and lose 5. For the rest of the season, he is another Dunn.
I honestly prefer players that produce evenly without been a super star. A Martin Prado type of player. A Vittorino type of player. A Polanco type of player. Players that rarely will go 15 at bats without a hit. I always think of Michael Cuddyer, a way below average hitter and outfielder….But every time I am watching a Twin’s game he seem to find a way to get a key hit. Jason Kubel is another of those guys.
Going back to your original idea, getting a trading (In our outfield) for Quentin for Viciedo is practically a wash…unless we get something really interesting back for him.

by blackoutsox on Jul 10, 2011 6:37 PM CDT reply actions  

Oh well....that was a pretty awful series

yet I didn’t set high expectations on that one….The good thing is that we have fewer games against the Twins. It is clear to me that there is a psychological aspect that is affecting the WhiteSox players. Not matter who the Twins send to the mound, not matter they are playing with a lot of replacements from AAA and AA, we can’t defeat them. I guess we will have to live with that, and move on to try to defeat the Tigers and other teams.

I would like to point out, that in case no one noticed it, the Twins are 19 runs behind than us, and we have scored only 1 run more than the Indians. The Twins really have a weak offense, and they are catching us….They are also half game behind us…Hey Kansas hello!!! We will be your next companions in the cellar.

We have too many hitters in our roster with 25 and under RBIs and we have played half season. I am not expecting all player to end with 75 + RBIs, but our production offensively stinks to no limit.

Last year, our team was horrid. By the 92th game we had scored 419 runs, were 10 games above 500, and were on 1st place.

This year, we have scored 383 which is 36 runs less. Do we really had a better team last year with Peavy hurt most of the time? With Jenks closing? With Linebrink and Pena in our pen? With Andruw Kojones? With Mark Kotsay? Last year we were asking for a trade that landed us Dunn…geeeez… I am glad we got stuck with Jackson. Maybe if we got Dunn last year we would have ended in last place.

The thing is that we still have a chance. We are close, and nothing a good 8 games winning streak couldn’t fix…..another thing is that I am starting to lose my faith in this team, and in Guillen who all he does is shuffle the same roster he got from day 1. Maybe is not the shuffling that is not working….maybe is the roster. Time to shake up the tree, and try to find a solution. I really dislike the attitude Guillen has lately “This is the team I’ve got, and I have to go with it” …. maybe, but sometimes a small change (err…Viciedo) can spark a wore down battery, and taking it back to life.

If you don't like the roster

Blame Kenny not Ozzie. Yes the Sox manage by consensus to a degree, and yes Kenny did delegate the roster’s DH decision to Ozzie before the 2010 season. But at the end of the day, this is a professional sports team, and the composition of the roster is the GM’s responsibility.

Dunn is Kenny’s doing. Period.

Viciedo in Charlotte is Kenny’s doing. Period.

The buck stops at Kenny’s desk.

I didn't say I dislike our roster

I said I dislike the line of thinking of “this is the players I got” and sticking to it when there is a chance to improve by bringing Viciedo up. Maybe Viciedo won’t fix this, but is the WhiteSox trying something? because currently, the roster we have is not working, and we are reaching game 100 in a little while.

"This is the team I've got and I have to go with it"

Is exactly the attitude the field manager should have. It’s not Ozzie’s job to look beyond the current 25 man roster and determine who to bring in and let go. That’s Kenny’s job.

Ozzie rarely knows much of anything about what is happening even one level down in his own organization at Charlotte, let alone possible trades or free agents. His comments when a new call-up shows up are usually comically unknowing. This is how it should be, however.

Also, as the mouth of the franchise

I do think Ozzie gets too much blame. He didn’t build the 2011 roster. He didn’t put Dunn in a slump, although the strategy he has decided upon for dealing with Dunn’s slump (pretend everything is fine and keep him in the heart of the order) is not the one I would choose.

by Rhubarb on Jul 10, 2011 8:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

Bat Dunn 8th and platoon (never let him see a lefty)...

…until he starts hitting again. AJ is our best lefty hitter right now and could take Dunn’s batting order spot.

My approach reduces the pressure on Dunn to hopefully make him more comfortable at the plate and get him back on track. But it demonstrates a lack of faith in Dunn and could hurt whatever confidence he has left.

Ozzie’s approach demonstrates confidence in Dunn, and confidence is indeed a key factor of hitting success. But it also increases the pressure on Dunn because he comes to bat more times in critical game situations and at times (against lefties) when he’s failed at a very high rate.

Baseball is life.

by elgonzo4sox on Jul 10, 2011 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

And if Dunn still doesn't turn it around by later in the season

Then try to dump him via waiver wire or trading him back to the NL in a salary dump. He might be like Pat Burrell, who won a World Series with the Phillies, failed as the Rays DH, was released, and then helped the Giants win.
