Column: Dallas Keuchel called out his White Sox teammates for lax play. And if they want to contend, they better heed his words.

It was a jarring accusation coming so early in the year, even if 16 games now account for more than a quarter of the season.

It made you go through the Sox lineup and wonder who he was referring to, as there was no blatant dogging going on. The Sox didn’t commit any errors, and the only misplay was Adam Engel missing JaCoby Jones’ liner and turning it into an inside-the-park home run.

Whoever it was, it bothered Keuchel enough to make the point the Sox have to show up day in, day out, if they hope to succeed.
