    Re: 2017 ALCS: Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees

    I wouldn't say Sanchez is Piazza 2.0. I'm sure Piazza was infamous for having a terrible arm. He couldn't throw runners out. Sanchez has an incredible arm. He just seems to have a problem blocking balls in the dirt or coming up with them.

    I think it just requires some commitment from him. Getting down is work. Throwing hard is natural. I don't think he's lazy. I just think he isn't completely focused.

    With everything said, it was a bad 9th for a lot of guys. Bad throw in. Bad relay. Bad catch.

        The most beautiful swing this postseason has produced so far. Jose Altuve’s Mad Dash is going to get all the love. But, don’t forget about this piece of art.

            I've watched a lot of the Yankees this year and the thing that has always stuck me is that Sanchez has poor hands. Even on routine pitches, you'll see it clank off of his glove. He's got a great arm, but his glove is really subpar. There is a reason Girardi has expressed displeasure with his abilities this year.

                Maybe with the lack of production from DH anyway, maybe they should try Sanchez as DH and Romine in at catcher?

                Honestly Sanchez's failure there was criminally, unacceptably bad.
                Romines bat is so anemic. I'll live with Gary.

                        3 run homer by Frazier!

                            Go Yankees!

                            Not that I have rooting interest for either team, but I just want as much baseball as possible. Sad to think that at most we have 17 games of baseball left this season.

                                Honestly thought that Frazier homer was a bloop single off the bat.

                                                It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                                                    He is pretty open with it, he holds the gum with his front teeth and touches it with his fingers. I know pitchers have all sorts of hidden things they do but this seems odd to me.

                                                            This game is going pretty much the way I expected it to which is not something i'm proud of. C'mon Astros!

                                                            As for Morton and his gum, you'd think Girardi or one of the players would be making a stink out of it.
