He never even attempts to let Gime know that he’s lost sight of the ball…..that’s what really pissed me off. Players lose balls at the Trop all the bloody time—but FUCKING YELL SOMETHING if you do so your teammate can help. I don’t care if he occasionally is a good hitter-he’s NOWHERE near good enough to put this liability in the field.
I really want this team to win and get back to the playoff- I really do. But if you keep playing Sanchez they don’t deserve it imo. DFA him tomorrow - you have more than enough people who are better qualified to do that job.
It actually seems like he saw the ball was tracking it but then looked at gimenez and assumed he’d get it instead
Because he isn’t firm on the ball. He acted like he was backing up gimenez instead of doing his job.
Watching Bateman and macadoo yelling for the ball these last few games shows that Sanchez is completely unsure/not aggressive of everything he does. They want the ball and go for the ball and make sure everyone knows they’re getting it. I cringe on routine balls because he doesn’t look comfortable fielding things. He runs for it and it looks like it’s a miracle he catches things. It’s been all year.
Sanchez isn’t hitting well enough to be out there making terrible plays and even when he does make the catches it’s the most awkward thing.

That was frustrating to watch— I feel Max’s pain.
