How much do you think it has affected Vaughn having to play the OF and not getting to play his natural position? I look at Torkelson with the Tigers and it was the same situation only Cabrera gave up playing 1st so Torkelson could play his natural position. 

All this playing guys in positions they have no business playing has just been one of the reasons this team is a disaster. Sheets, Jimenez, and Vaughn are all being asked to play the outfield and not one of them should be out there.

Twins now missing 5 guys from their projected offseason starting lineup... inarguably more crippled than White Sox right now.

I'm sick of hearing about the twins, get our own house in order or nothing else matters.

How do you DH Grandal these days?

Agree, Cease himself would be a better choice

Crick up. Banks to Charlotte.

How? Wasn't Crick just up 2 days ago? Do guys no longer have to go down for 10 days?

You know how good teams are supposed to beat the bad ones? I think the good teams see the white sox as the bad team and, are in fact, beating them.

Probably had something to do with replacing Cease and Graveman in Toronto.

This has always been how LaRussa has been. The 2 things you have always been able to count on Tony is to play guys in crazy positions, Ron Kittle once played CF, and fall in love with the worst guys on the roster. It's like he is trying to play I am smarter than you. When he won it wasn't because of that, it was because of his best players.

No joke.  He can hit.

Let’s see how quickly this team causes me turn off today’s game…

Lineup has a ton of automatic outs

Damn the lineup, full speed ahead..

1-2-3 shocker 

Moncada limping down to first on that groundout. 

I'm sorry but I'm so done with this guy. Put him on the IL for a month. 

Three groundouts in the 1st

With a leadoff man with an OBP of .203 and a third place hitter with an OBP of .176 there wasn't really any other outcome!

I can never tell if he's actually limping or he's doing his typical nonchalant manerisms. Was he definitely limping? I wasn't paying attention. 

Let's avoid the first inning collapse and hold the Rays scoreless.

This is the sign of a team about to break out

Lol, good one.

Moncada is the worst "good" player I have ever seen.

Yea he has the worst body language out there but he definitely slowed down reaching 1st and had a slight limp. I won't be surprised if they just put him on the IL after today. 

Three pop ups in the 2nd inning. I think they are coming around because no strikeouts 

Nice catch Yoan
