What I'm saying is moving him to first would be a good move. Assuming this year is an aberration/wakeup call, a guy who hits .300 with 30+ HR power isn't a waste at 1b. Obviously I'd love if Sanchez could have been a Piazza or Posada but unless he suddenly wakes up and learns how to block, a change is in order. It seems like filling the hole at first is the natural move but I don't know poo poo about player development outside of RTTS.

I could see him moving to 1B. But who knows if he could even meet the low bar that is necessary for 1B defense.

The Yankees aren’t going to move Sanchez off catcher anytime soon. He’s been bad this year but he’s been bad at everything this year. Sometimes guys have lost seasons, but he’s still a productive player Also, Sanchez wasn’t this bad behind the plate last year, so you wonder if the struggles at the dish are affecting his defense as well

He's embarrassing himself.

Gary Sanchez is not that bad at catching, guys. its very obvious he has isssues catching Sevy, but his arm makes up for a lot of his issues in most cases. This is as simple as just giving sevy a personal catcher.

He's also pretty drat good at framing, which is probably more important than a passed ball now and then.

the bigger issue is that Sevy has reverted back to 2016 form. no catcher was going to look good with Sevy missing his spots by the width of the plate here's hoping they give Sevy a breather because there's no point to running him out there just to get shelled

mcmagic posted:I don't know how the Yankees can go into 2019 with Sanchez catching and not have a much better backup plan than Romine. It's impossible for them to be able to rely on Sanchez. Romine had a slightly below league average bat this year, do you think they can get Johnny Bench as the backup? Sanchez is great and I will not have you sass him even if he's having the season from hell. There are teams *cough* Boston who would kill to have Romine.

Second-half Tanaka was great last year and then he was loving nails in the postseason, I have no qualms about giving him the ball in the WC game.

Robertson should be the closer. He’s by far the bullpen guy I have the most faith in. Betances is too prone to these meltdowns. Betances comes into a tie game and walks a poo poo hitter on 4 pitches to lead off the inning who then scores without another hit. U G L Y. 2.5 games out of losing home field. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Sep 10, 2018 |

I never said he should be benched or traded. I said they have to get him fixed... Hopefully that is happening. Also he had a good game behind the plate with Happ who is probably the easiest Yankee pitcher to catch. Lets see how he catches Severino next time.

Mcmagic is overly negative but in a relatively endearing way. He writes like that one dude on Twitter who was gonna make it to the NFL if he hadn't blown out his knee in D3 college. He's also correct sometimes.

I really don't ever need to see Sonny Gray anymore. It's cool. I don't think it's being overly negative to say that if they lose the home field for the wild card that is a complete disaster. It's just a fact. There doesn't seem to be the proper sense of urgency with this team for the situation they are in. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Sep 12, 2018 |

Or they don't have Judge who is one of the best players in baseball, and the As have a magical unicorn horn jammed up their collective asses. But punting a game to start Gray wasn't the greatest idea.

Two experiments we can probably conclude: Sonny Gray and Greg Bird. I want them both to be good so bad, but neither should be playing in September right now.

I think Gray has a role as an early couple innings of relief role guy. He seems to pitch better n, but that is just from watching, so I am willing to have numbers prove me wrong. Bird though?

Ramiro Mendoza Sonny Gray is not, at least not this year. Letting Warren go to replace him with Gray seems acceptable on paper but is going to haunt them down this stretch.

Maybe they will surprise us but with six games left against the Sox and four in Tampa, they probably have to start preparing themselves for a flight to Oakland in the wild card game. They got completely outplayed these past few series by the bad teams in the worst division in baseball.

I'm not ready to say mcmagic was right, but I will say that it would be nice if some of the people who are current members of the New York Yankees baseball squadron could recall how to strike the ball with the bat during game time plate appearances.
