Gary Sanchez is special.

Yankees pitching sucks

section125 : 9/21/2016 9:51 pm : link

tonight. 5 home runs. 4 in one inning.

RBI single for the grand-nephew of No-Neck

Del Shofner : 9/21/2016 10:02 pm : link

and Solano goes yard!

Del Shofner : 9/21/2016 10:03 pm : link

Donovan Solano!

B in ALB : 9/21/2016 10:05 pm : link

Smokes a 2 run shot!

Need one more on base for Sanchez to get another AB.

Sterling didn't even have a call

DC Gmen Fan : 9/21/2016 10:05 pm : link

for Solano. Poor guy!

Holder comes on.

Del Shofner : 9/21/2016 10:10 pm : link

Hasn't been that great so far, let's see what he has...

Sanchez hit with the bat ...

Del Shofner : 9/21/2016 10:13 pm : link

uh oh ...

Is he OK?

yatqb : 9/21/2016 10:15 pm : link

He stayed in but was in obvious pain. The TB batter let his bat go all the way around and it hit Sanchez on the elbow. Seems to be OK though.

Just about nicked him with the tip of the bat. I'm sure he'll have a bruise.

Thanks, guys...watching MLBNetwork so only getting highlights.

They should just hand him $300 mill now and say we'll talk in 10 years......

Tanaka being interviewed -

Del Shofner : 9/21/2016 10:54 pm : link

talk about a guy looking pissed off at himself. He's a good guy - a lot of pride, and he did not like giving up 4 HRs in an inning. Said that was the first time it ever happened to him.

Is it true

section125 : 9/21/2016 10:58 pm : link

Luis Torrens is suppose to be better than Sanchez?

lefty Snell pitching for TB tomorrow -

Del Shofner : 9/21/2016 11:10 pm : link

I expect Sanchez will DH with Romine behind the plate, esp. after Gary got a little dinged back there tonight.

Phil in LA : 9/22/2016 12:56 am : link

Torrens might be the more natural catcher, and is also a good hitter, but he doesn't have the light tower power GS does, and since GS has gotten in shape and worked so hard on his D, while Torrens has missed time to injuries, Sanchez has caught up with him defensively. And Higgy is the best defender of the bunch.

Thanks Phil. I seem to remember talk that Sanchez was just a placeholder (or something along that line) for Torrens. So maybe Torrens can be used as a major trade piece for SP over the winter. They still have Romine and Higgy behind Sanchez.

Sanchez is must see TV (knockwood).

WOW!

Victor in CT : 9/22/2016 8:57 am : link

Just WOW!! Sanchez now playing a game that we are not familiar with. He's been through a slump, teams have film and have faced him multiple times and he's getting tougher. Even the foul ball down third base line was scorched.

At Fangraphs, Sanchez is fifth in WAR among catchers

Greg from LI : 9/22/2016 9:18 am : link

even those he's only played a third of the games as the others

Torrens is a good catcher...

Dunedin81 : 9/22/2016 9:24 am : link

and a very good defensive catcher for his age and experience, but he didn't hit well in his return from injuries and it may take some time for him to get back on the same development track, IF he gets back there.

Higgy was such a pleasant surprise offensively this year.

Your 2017 NL Cy Young winner
