Royals 4, Sox 1: Chen Keeps Sox Bats Quiet

I didn't think it could get worse than being baffled by Rodrigo Lopez.  It came close today with Bruce Chen's dominance over Sox hitters.  The first time through the lineup, the Sox went 9 up 9 down.  Meanwhile, Edwin Jackson couldn't wait to let the Royals get on the scoreboard.  Chris Getz walked to lead off the game, went to third on a single by Melky Cabrera and scored on an Alex Gordon double play.

Eric Hosmer owes Alex Rios a nice dinner at Morton's after he hit a home run in the 2nd inning to make the score 2-0.  Rios had a perfect opportunity to rob the homer, but missed it.  It was the 2nd time this series that Rios could have taken a homer back from Hosmer but didn't.  

In the 4th it was more Royals, as Gordon singled to lead off the inning.  After moving to 2nd on a Billy Butler groundout, he came around to score on a Jeff Francoeur single to make the score 3-0 K.C.

The Sox had a threat in the 4th as Juan Pierre led off with a single.  After Brent Morel popped out, Adam Dunn walked.  Pierre then stole third, but was left there when Paul Konerko grounded into a 6-4-3 double play.

The Royals tacked on one more run in the 6th as Gordon again led off with a single.  After a Butler fly out, Hosmer singled.  A key wild pitch moved the runners up, and Francoeur took advantage again with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-0. 

The Sox bats finally awoke in the 6th.  Rios lined a single to right and Gordon Beckham followed him with a smash single to left.  Juan Pierre laid down a beautiful bunt and beat Brayan Pena's throw to load the bases with nobody out.  Then the Sox reverted back to the team that we know as Brent Morel popped up to Hosmer.  Adam Dunn drew a  walk to bring in a run, but Konerko struck out looking and Carlos Quentin popped out to third.  The Konerko at bat was so terrible, I logged in to MLB.Com and gave a few votes to Adam Jones.

Hector Santiago made his Major League debut in the 9th inning and looked very good in getting Hosmer out on strikes.  Francoeur and Mike Moustakas each flied out to give the rookie a perfect inning.  

The Sox couldn't get him his first win though, as Joakim Soria got Konerko, Quentin and A.J. Pierzynski out in order to end the game.  The Sox are now 43-45.  The struggles in the A.L. Central continue as they are now 7-13, with our biggest nemesis, the Minnesota Twins, coming in for 4 to end the first half.

Record: 43-45| Box

he obviously wants attention. I think he has convinced himself that the Twins are good (even with some of his statements) and he wants to drop a big “I told you so” on us in this upcoming series. The few Twin’s fans I know have gotten very cocky with the team showing some success over the past few years because its all they have considering how bad the Vikings and Wild suck.

 He hasn’t done anything that is banable, so the only way to make him go away is to not feed him.

This sucks.

The Sox are in what very well could be a make or break stretch of the season, at the very least its very important to win these games. How does this team wide massive slump occur? Its freaky enough to have them all slump at the same time for a few weeks, but this has been going on for months. What is very concerning is that Konerko appears to be cooling down a bit.

And Ozzie on the postgame is tipping his hat to Chen. Give me a fucking break.

the e-gus recap in its entirety:
“Bases loaded, nobody out, and the only way we get a run is by a walk.” -Hawk Harrelson at the end of 6.

 Bruce Chen lost his perfect game when Pierre led off the 4th with a base knock. JP has been the least of our problems ever since SSS got some local coverage for calling for his head to make room for Viciedo. He was 2-f overall on the day and stole third after Dunn walked with one out in the inning. Paul star ended the inning with a GIDP.

 In the sixth it was more of the same, only worse. Nobody out. Bases loaded. Good speed aboard, with Rios and Beckham starting the inning with back to back base hits and Pierre filling the bases with a bunt.

 Morel had a 3-0 count. He was taking all the way. Strike one. He took a slow breaking ball right down the middle for a full count. Next the rookie fouled off ball four twice before popping out to the first basemen in foul territory.

 Dunn, batting third against the lefty today despite half a season worth of data saying he cant hit pitchers of that persuasion worked the count full and drew a walk after seven pitches. Only one of which was actually a strike. His RBI BB scored the Sox only run of the afternoon.

 Paul Star struck out on three pitches.

 Quentin took ball one then popped out to the third basemen in foul territory to end the inning.

 The Sox went meekly after that, striking out for 4 of their remaining nine outs against the Royals pen and managed only one hit in the last three frames.

 Edwin Jackson walked Chris Getz to start the game. He stole second on AJ and later scored on a double play.

 Frenchy knocked in two of the Royals runs and Eric Hosmer hit a solo HR barely over the wall and Alex Rios, who didn’t look so good bumping into the wall, impeding his progress as it just cleared the fence.

 If you couldn’t watch today’s game, consider yourself lucky. It was especially disheartening and fan murdering.

"A lot of misinformation," the source said.

by e-gus on Jul 6, 2011 4:24 PM CDT reply actions  

JP is still a big problem if he is preventing AAA players from coming up

Even if he hits the upside i still not there IMO. But, yes you are correct in that he is far from our only problem. I wish he was.

Jackson is just not very good. For quite some time it has taken him 2 or 3 innings to find his stuff (if he finds it). I do not think it is a matter of showing up earlier to warm up. DJ said that he wasn’t throwing strikes while warming up in the pen.

I am not trying to defend Rongey at all.

As with Pudge, this is a mark Pierre doesn’t want to reach, and as with Pudge, this is a mark that’ll be hard to reach in 2011, but Pierre is 17 away, and he’s averaged about that many per season, so he’ll get there at some point, since he’s only 33. Pierre is tenth all-time in caught steals, and is drawing mighty close to Otis Nixon and Rod Carew. Only five players have ever reached 200, so Pierre stands to enter rarefied air before long.

He's now 1-1 with 2 BB's.

This is off Julio Teheran, I might add.

Now he's just showing off.

Sigh.

I’ve come to expect this sort of thing.

somebody make this happen....
The White Sox seem interested in Atlanta’s pitching, according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman. The Braves could be in the market for an outfielder and may attempt to find a proven leadoff hitter like Juan Pierre.

teh new barrier: .500 (in a limp divison nonetheless)

this is the absolute worst time to face the twins as they are into their streak mode, and that mode is ‘win’.
