What do you do about Gary Sanchez this winter?

How much of Stantons salary do you eat to send him to The Dodgers?

Did I read this correctly? You want to get rid of Stanton? Why?

Why do you need to move Stanton? He hasn’t been an issue, has he?

As for Sanchez, I am not sure. I can’t recall a guy regressing as much as he has this season. They need to get his head on straight first. Not sure Booney is the guy to do it.


Stanton is misplaced in NY

He's had the most hollow "good numbers" you will ever see from a player

Very few if any "moments". Terrible clutch player, not a get on my back player. So many home runs in games already decided

And the cherry on top is that both he and Gary Sanchez are DHs

Huh. Surprised by this a bit. Considering it’s his first year playing in a market that actually cares AND that he changed leagues, he’s done pretty well. I would imagine he does even better next year. His deal shouldn’t look bad for a several more years. It’s not exactly easy to move him and the 9-10(?) years left on that monster deal.

Sanchez is probably the worst defensive catcher I have ever seen. They need to get him to a different position ASAP. I can’t imagine there is a quick fix for him behind the plate.

Are these announcers complimenting Judge’s pain tolerance because the first baseman tagged him in the nuts?

Yanks scored 7 in the top of the 3rd. Severino came out and immediately loaded the bases. He ended up only allowing 2 runs, but it was touch and go.
I've seen worse things.......

Bailed out by the idiocy of the Rays sending a runner home with no outs, otherwise he doesn't see the end of the 3rd

On the bright side, we don't have to see him next Wednesday

Don't look now, but 2018 Gary Sanchez somewhat resembled 2017 Gary Sanchez last night.

Can't understate how huge him getting it in gear would be.

So, 2 wins, or 1 win 1 Oakland loss, or 2 Oakland losses and we're guaranteed baseball in the Bronx next Wednesday.

Tanaka making his final WC tune-up and the recommended 6 days rest to follow.

I hope he's an October hero, he's taken all the heat for this team while so many other shitbags fly under the radar

A lot of the heat he's taken has been richly deserved. But, yeah, a big October and all is forgiven.

Tanaka will get the start because setting up Happ twice vs Boston is so important

They need to carry this Tarpley guy considering his numbers vs lefties

No need for a mop up like Cole in a 5 gamer

I was holding onto hope that NY would have to travel to Oakland, but I think last night set the game in NY.

I'd say good luck, but that would be a lie.
