I get getting on Sanchez for all the Ks and passed balls, but how many better players are there really at the position? Have you seen the Astro's cather's numbers?
I never go on Twitter.How is a game 3 most important in a 7 game series?
Please stop reading Twitter....you havent won anything and nobody is on the brink of going home.
& I still suspect Sanchez is about to go off - could ruin Verlanders plans.
Sanchez nice swings?? I hope you are right but last night all his swings missed the ball. 3ABs with 3 strike outs. Batting .100. I guess he has to improve because he can't get worse.Smoltz & 5 head pulling for Houston...me thinks.
Stanton is lost but wouldn't be surprised if Sanchez starts raking - had some nice swings his last ab. Look for it.
Romine is a much better all around catcher. Hitting is pretty good for a catcher too. .281/8/35/.781 in just over 200 at bats.I get getting on Sanchez for all the Ks and passed balls, but how many better players are there really at the position? Have you seen the Astro's cather's numbers?
Would love to read that article. Quick search but couldn't find it.Is this what the game has become?Neither team has a starter ready for Game 6.
There was a story in Baseball Digest in the early 60's proposing pitchers go 3 innings every 2 days.Is that where it's going to wind up?
Truth!Yankee fans brought their A game tonight.
Hicks with the BOMB!!
We got this., wooo
Need to go 1-0 today, to quote a great coach.Get to Sunday!!!
Oh, boo hoo.
I've actually heard A-Rod and several others refer to Sanchez as the best hitter on the Yankees.Sanchez nice swings?? I hope you are right but last night all his swings missed the ball. 3ABs with 3 strike outs. Batting .100. I guess he has to improve because he can't get worse.
Does that mean they didn't throw garbage on the field and at Houston players last night?Yankee fans brought their A game tonight.
I sense another stay at Bellevue for you. Please don't talk $hit in the local bars.If you don't think we are definitely winning this series go become a Flushing fan

Weird, huh ?
At this point, not only does sanchez not get you any runs when it counts, he is a defensive liability.
Why not put romine in there?
And edwin is back in the lineup. FmL
Crushing the Yankees in RISPDon’t the Astros have a worse batting average in the series than the Yankees and more LOB?
It's not because he's enamored with home runs. The entire stadium was built for home run hitters. He gets the guys who hit them because of that. And it's not like he didn't pick up our MVP from Colorado in free agency, without knowing that he was an on base percentage machine and former batting champion.It is weird. But all it demonstrates is that they are stupid. Because he's not the best hitter on the Yankees.
It's because Cashman's too enamored with home runs. It's like he never watched a playoff series when Torre was winning World Series rings.
This damn umpire is so inconsistent. Calls Gardner out on a pitch way outside. Then happ hits corners and the guys is calling balls.
I have to say this playoffs the strike and balls have been very consistent and good. NOT TODAY.
I'd also love to check how many guys Didi has left on base in this series? He's absolutely brutal with guys in scoring position.Encarnacion looks completely lost, as does Sanchez. Having two guys strike out 50+% off the time is brutal.
Game is going into the 6th... let's pick up another run or two soon.
Romine is a free agent and has already said he is going to a team that intends to make him a starter. I feel that team should beIf Sanchez is so great, trade him for a pitcher of equal value (should be a #1 starter, right?) and then sign a defensive catcher and let him platoon with Austin Romine. The batting order can afford a hole (frankly, it already has one anytime we face a good pitcher), we might as well bolster the starting pitching so we don't have to empty our entire bullpen in the 4th inning every third game.
And he made a bad throw also, he is not a player.Sanchez finally gets on base twice tonight and he's a liability even there. Moves around on the base path like he has a piano on his back.
