Vaughn and a few other guys have had some good games against the Twins and Tigers RH pitching. I love it, but let's wait to see if they can sustain this against better teams and pitching.

Good idea. They could also forget a trade, put Eloy in LF, Vaughn in RF, Robert CF, Abreu at 1B, and DH Sheets. Hard to go wrong as long as they are all hitting.

Eloy is pretty much going to play where he wants whether it is with the White Sox or another team. Same for Vaughn and for Abreu. The Sox have some decisions to make in the future about who plays where and for how often. Now we have Sheets who is looking like the LH bat we have been looking for and Eaton is back from the IL.

Detroit relievers making our boys look like the '27 Yankees.

Burger looks like he is in so much better condition than when he got injured.

Beat the shit teams....best the shit out of them. A win is a win.

What is the rule? Does the ump have to allow a challenge in the 8th or is it discretionary?

Somebody in the Sox video room is going to hear about that one.

That isn't an auto challenge in the 8th is it?

Who was looking at the video and telling LaRussa he was out?

Codi, Codi.

Miggy is hard to fool.

Goodwin robs a double ..

Zero chance Eloy will agree to be a full time DH.

That was Vaughn's best catch. He is slow but steady.

Mercedes back up if Yaz is hurt?

Why does Vaughn jump to catch a fly ball?

Looks powerful - like Paul Bunyan swinging a log ax. Pitchers like to pitch guys like him outside to stay away from their power but apparently Sheets has a game plan for that.

Now the DH spot opens up for a few other guys.

1. T. Anderson SS 2. Y. Moncada 3B 3. J. Abreu 1B 4. E. Jimenez LF 5. L. Robert CF 6. A. Vaughn/Sheets R/L platoon DH 7. Y. Grandal C 8. A. Eaton RF 9. D. Mendick/L Garcia R/L platoon 2B SP C. Rodon

You missed the point.

I love watching this but realize that we are playing a demoralized team that is out of contention with a pitching staff that is a shit show.

I agree, Vaughn could be an everyday DH/1B or OF even after Eloy and Eaton return. He has had a couple of good games against RH pitchers, but guys like Ober are not what the Sox will see the rest of the way. Ober was pretty awful and the Sox made the Twins pay.

If/when the decision comes down to whether Eloy or Vaughn is a platoon player, perhaps your answer will be different.

The Twins are toast, no matter who wins this afternoon. Their pitching is not good enough to get them on a sustained wining streak. That means they will be sellers looking to dump salary. If they could unload Donaldson's contract he would be one of the first to go.
