Joe Girardi is now an analyst for the MLB Network and with Gary Sanchez’s terrible catching for the New York Yankees trending of late, it was only a matter of time before someone asked for Joe’s thoughts on the matter.
Sanchez made a mockery of his defensive position on Wednesday night in Oakland, letting four pitches get by him in the bottom of the first inning. His ineffectiveness behind the plate was instrumental in digging the Yankees a hold they couldn’t climb out of.
His performance has caused speculation that he will not be the Yankees backstop for a potential Wild Card game.
