Game 60 Open Thread - Royals (23-36) at White Sox (32-26)

PrintKansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox, Jun 5, 2008 8:11 PM EDT
It's Meche (3-7, 5.35 ERA) versus Contreras (2.89 ERA) tonight at the Cell as the Royals look to avoid the sweep. If you've been waiting to see Gil Meche throw 130 pitches in a game, then you should definitely tune in tonight.
Although each team used seven pitchers last night, the usage pattern was actually quite different. Other than Jimmy Gobble's brief appearance, everyone other than Tomko went more than an inning for the Royals. The two best options for Hillman, Ramirez and Soria, each went two, and so probably won't be available tonight. Meanwhile, the White Sox only likely lose Jenks and Dotel, amongst pitchers that are actually effective. Masset, Thornton and Linebrink each had normal evenings of work last night, and none of those three pitched the day before.
Of course, the Royals will be extra patient throughout the game, and will force the White Sox to really sweat this one out, with someone like Wasserman or Loaiza on the mound in a key spot. Obviously.

Why did the White Sox sign Loaiza?
Did one of their starters go on the DL?
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
apparently to free Nick Masset out of the long relief role
which I can’t say I agree with, Masset isn’t that good. I don’t care what his number says.

I'm all for showcasing German to increase his trade value
But is playing him at SS actually helping his trade value? He’s been a ham-fisted butcher at SS this year.

Not as often as I'd like to,
and I’m well aware he struggled in April. That’s what happens, by and large, when you take a pitcher who’s never been a workhorse and treat him as if he is one…he has trouble early the next year. Thank you, Buddy Bell.

Is Meche knew we needed some innings. So he promptly goes out there, walks 4-5 guys, makes a couple of errors and generally sucks harder than he’s ever sucked before. That’s decidedly unclutch.
