2 of the "hits" this inning were because we don't know what we're doing on defense. 

Where is a Jared Dyson for the outfield and base running when you need him

I could still see Hahn being fired to keep LaRussa

Everyone needs to get fired if they don't win the division.

Pure incompetence in the outfield.

Should never have scored the run.

If every play is made like Cueto high throw to 1st and Harrison covering 1st on the bunt the inning ends long ago.

Just trade Vaughn in a few months.

Maybe next they'll try Jose out there in RF to see what he could do LOL.

Trade Vaughn in the offseason. Too many DH/1st base types on this team.

Pollock has to be smart enough to know Vaughn is the only one who can throw the runner out with a proper 2-3 steps into the throw instead of almost crashing and throwing flat footed.

Letting Abreu walk and reallocating that money to be used on an actual outfielder makes so more sense than trading Vaughn.

It’s just hard to image how bad of shape this team would be without Jose. That’s when I start to change my tune.

I mean, this is basically what they asked of Vaughn last year.

3, although the play by Cueto was tough

That was how a Pony or Mustang League team would handle a bunt defensively.

It's not Vaughn's fault. He's not a fucking outfielder, guys. Direct your anger appropriately. The guy is being put into a position to fail.

Eloy's swinging like tonight is the first time he's ever seen a change-up

Lowe just flashed more range than Vaughn on that pop up.

Vaughn isn’t a RF. He’s a 1st baseman/DH. Enough of putting him in the OF!!!!

The Vaughn fanboys won’t like that one. We tried that idea last offseason and too many people bitched.

If this happens; I will gladly go out and protest at the ballpark with a sign.

Dumbass Vaughn it’s AJ ball wtf have a game 

4 th misplay by Vaughn in this game.  He has been completely exposed and cannot patrol RF again.  If Engel would have been defensive replacement in the 7 th we would still be tied. TLR sleep at the wheel again.  No way Vaughn should have been left in a tied game late.

Cueto must be wondering why he didn't get traded to a team that actually knows what it's doing out there.

The coaching staff should be sued for embezzling JR checks.

Yeah, but he's also been watching 7 innings of Vaughn running on quicksand out there. 

Can't assume anything there.

I’m not sure what these guys want Vaughn to do? Refuse to play? Ok. ?

He'll be 36 next season. Trading away the guy who's 11 years younger and already a very good hitter in his own right to make room for Jose would be so incredibly shortsighted.

Like KW at third base lol...or Eddie Williams for that matter.

We need both. You can’t let Abreu just walk. He’d be willing to work on 1 year contracts. He’s in great shape, can DH over 50% of the time next year, maybe even 75% of the time. Vaughn is the future at 1st base. I’d rather see Sheets and Yazmani Traded. Reallocate Yaz money to the outfield

They just need to fire everyone….. Have a gar/pax Boylen house cleaning….

The Rangers have thrown 3 lefties against the White Sox today and I have no idea how these are the results.

That's just it...no trust on defense in teammates, and it's going to get worse without McGuire down the stretch.
