The White Sox embarrassingly managed to screw up a routine grounder to first base

The White Sox are well on their way to being the worst MLB team in the 162-game era. But at the same time, you'd expect a team full of professional baseball players to be able to execute on the easiest of plays.

That's not the case with these White Sox, and we saw that in action on Wednesday.

With Andrés Giménez at the plate for the Guardians in the third inning, he hit a soft, chopping grounder that was easily fielded by first baseman Andrew Vaughn. It should have been an easy out, but Vaughn hesitated on his glance to second base and couldn't make it to the bag before a hustling Giménez.

No MLB team should be messing up that play. In fact, no baseball team at any level should mess up that play.

Vaughn, at the very least, could have tagged Giménez, but he still should have beaten Giménez to the bag had he shown any urgency.

Good teams don't make those kinds of mistakes.
