Doesn't matter who we start for the wild card game if Sanchez is behind the plate lettings balls fly by him.

We've had 459, 468, and 505 all in the same series in Colorado.
None of them looked like they went that far because that stadium is comically big. Apparently not working.

tl;dr don't care. My absolute minimum, my floor, of being impressed with a homer is 460 feet.

Severino clearly too comfortable. I'd bench him next 4 days.

Just saw it. Left center towards the scoreboard. It went to the concourse area at the back of the seats. I've never seen that before at Coors.

Don't look now but Trevor Story is but 5 steals short of a 30-30 season. It would be the first since 2012 Trout.
Actually upon a quick check there are a few guys very very close to the feat. Trout again, Mookie, Jose Ramirez, Lindor and Javy.

This is a bad hockey team.
Sanchez needs a position change. He is disgraceful defensively.

Good thing we drafted couple catchers. Seigler has AS upside but is probably 4 years away. Breaux is more advanced and probably 2-3 years away.
I recall people bashing these picks back in June.

To what? DH? ‘Let him play first’ is the knee jerk response but it’s yet to be seen if he can consistently pick balls in the dirt (lol we know he can’t).
I know baseball players don’t need to have 0% body fat, but I feel that if Sanchez trimmed some fat over the off season it would greatly improve his defensive speed and mobility and would reenergize him. ‘Oh but his power’, as if a Babe Ruth beer gut is necessary to hit dingers. His power might take a small hit, but he doesn’t need to cut muscle, just the gut/fat. At this point his putrid defense is such a story every time he plays that it’s getting to him mentally, affecting his offensive game and really needs to be handled. Sure, after being off the field recovering from the injury he feels great and is in the best place mentally, but that means jack when you come back and pick up right where you left off and your pitchers don’t trust you because every ball in the dirt has a 50/50 shot to get past you.
I think any chance of getting Sanchez to make a real adjustment in the off season went out the window with not bringing Girardi back (who seemed to be really trying to get Sanchez on track and adjust his defensive game, perhaps a little too publicly). Ca$hman effectively told the players that they run the show now. Next year we’ll hear how Sanchez took the offseason to clear his head and is stronger than ever (again) as if that will solve everything. I hope not but I’m doubtful we’ll hear anything different.

Oh yeah, well what about when Sanchez catches him on a Wednesday night in Oakland? Run those numbers and stop cherry picking.
Certainly a disparity, but what does it really tell you without knowing the competition? Just curious.

Per baseball reference he never had positive WAR until this year. In 71 games in 2018 he has a 1.5 WAR but he's still negative for his career.

Not really about the disparity. When you split data into two, there's likely going to be a disparity, sometimes it will have meaning, sometimes it's just random variance (in this case, I think it's mostly about Severino going cold in a period of time where Sanchez happened to be injured). If it were the other way around, people motivated to believe Sanchez is the problem would absolutely point to it. Just thought I'd try to illustrate how braindead (yet predictable) it is to try to blame Sanchez for Severino's struggles when he was activated in the middle of them.

I don't think I blamed Sanchez for Severinos issues these past few weeks,but the fact is,the last 2 times he caught Severino (last night and back in Tampa) they had issues with each other that led to heated words.Clearly their is a communication problem going on between them.This late in the season isn't the time to work on them while trying to secure a playoff spot.It's clear he isn't comfortable with Sanchez behind the plate especially with him already struggling these past few weeks as it is.I'm sure that's why his e.r.a is higher with Romine because he's been catching him most games through his 2 month long slump

I'm also not saying Romine is better than Gary either,just that Severino seems more comfortable with him behind the plate.
