Gameday Preview: Chicago White Sox Vs. Baltimore O’s

White Sox Peavy, look to rebound from 3-game skid, beat Orioles

(7-4)                                                                          (5-5)

Jake Peavy (1-0) will face the Orioles Tommy Hunter (1-0) in game 3 of a four game set.  The O’s are already leading the series 2-0, on a blown save by Hector Santiago and leaving the bases loaded  in the bottom of the 9th inning.   ‘White Hot’ A.J. Pierzynski drove in the Sox lone 2 runs last night on a double.   Back-to-back homers from Reimold and Hardy against John Danks doomed the White Sox.

1.  Alejandro De Aza CF             NOT YET SUBMITTED
2. Brent Morel 3B
3. Adam Dunn DH
4. Paul Konerko1B
5. A.J. Pierzynski C

Brent Morel (Pictured) is one of 3 White Sox hitters who are really looking and in fact needing a quick comeback.  Morel is in the bigs for his defensive ability but at this point in his career it is expected for him to contribute offensively.  One of the White Sox’s weakness is the number 2 hole, the spot in the lineup that Morel should be producing from.  When Morel does eventually get out of this early season slump he wont be the liability he currently is respectively.
