greg775 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Royals can hit. We can't. Sox can pitch. Royals can't, except setting up and closing. Sox have had problems hitting hacks even worse than Francis. Royals in the past have thrown at our hitters in an attempt to amp up the competitive level against a team in our division. We play like zombies often against teams in our division. Should be interesting to see what combination that brings.

Up and down that lineup there are actual hitters numbers that Sox fans can only dream of. Â They score enough runs (by 2011 standards, anyway). But they can't get anybody out. That was to be expected. Their stud position players are way ahead of their pitching 'spects aside from Crow at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The question is, can we overcome Dunn's 0-4 with 3 or 4 Ks tonight? I'm serious. Let's assume he is 0-4 with 3-4 Ks, what percentage does that affect our capacity to score 5 runs. I predict we'll need 5-7 per game to beat KC.

Â I'm quoting how I believe Ozzie would respond to your question. It makes little sense, but if Dunn has a big game, Ozzie will be considered a genius.

I'd even prefer flipflopping he and Castro. Castro might get into one off a s***ty lefthander. Dunn will K. Hopefully Adam will take one or two for the team and stick the shoulder into a curve ball.

greg775 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Is this game really at 6 p.m.? If Mark works fast and Francis mows us down, this game could be over by 8:15 which would mean a long wait for fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
