For three hours, ignore your generational poverty and what should be a white-hot rage towards anyone older than you.

Good job alienating your dwindling generational fan base, baseball.

Tbh, the rush to condemn him based on partial data doesn’t help with my faith in humanity.

If people didn't immediately condemn or praise him, the moment might pass and an opinion be left unregistered! When the world is full of shiny blue cars whizzing by, reflection and measured response is for suckers.

Holy fuck, Sanchez had a Valium of a game, trotting after a passed ball that let a run score from second then ambling down the line for the final out of the game. That's the kind of shit that merits a benching to send a message.

Yeah and the second mistake after having made the first one.

Other than his arm he's a bad catcher and he's hitting like shit so far this year. How long can you keep him in the lineup?. With the way he's hitting there's better options for DH so they seem obligated to play him at catcher hoping he will start hitting. Does he need a hard ass like Girardi to get him going?

Fantastic arm, but every game I've seen when he's catching, he shows zero fluidity at the position. At least the mound visit rule has kept him from jogging out there every three pitches. Girardi seemingly gave up on him last year, or at least was willing to go with public tough love in his criticism. He has all the makings of a future DH or maybe 1B.

edit: He's back on the DL, so maybe he had an excuse for dogging it.

Zach Britton to the Yankees for one sorta-decent prospect and two nobodies who'd have to be exposed in the Rule 5 draft this winter because they were outside-looking-in on ever making a stacked 40-man roster. So...basically, acquired for almost-free.

Robertson-Betances-Britton-Chapman: has anyone ever trotted out a FOUR All-Star bullpen before??? :scared:
