Where have you gone, Gary Sanchez? It doesn’t have quite the same ring as ‘Joe DiMaggio,’ a line from the iconic 1968 Simon & Garfunkel song, “Mrs. Robinson.” However, where has the Yankees slugging catcher disappeared to?
Sanchez, who went 0-for-4 in the Yanks 4-1 ALCS Game 3 loss on Tuesday afternoon, is now 1-for-13 with six strikeouts this round and 2-for-25 with zero extra-base hits and 12 whiffs this postseason.
Not that El Gary has been around all that long, but in three years of playoff games (seven series), The Kraken is cracked, as he’s gone 16-for-92 with 34 strikeouts.
