Sanchez has a laundry list of god awful challenges this year but that one takes the cake. A 3-0 count all the way in the zone. What are you doing, man?
My answer is that I believe that Yelich believes he can still do it and isn’t just washed, and probably will continue to believe it longer than the rest of us.
Tristan Peters hit for the cycle yesterday, was named to the AL All-Star team and has a 3 WAR so far for the White Sox this season.
For those who aren’t familiar, we traded him in 2022 for an injured Trevor Rosenthal who never threw a pitch for us.
At the end of the day, Murphy doesn’t have the guts to bench Yelich or even move him down in the order until the day comes when Yelich actually approaches him and tells him that he thinks he would be for the best interests of the team.
I mostly agree with this.
I also think it’s really weird to trot your children out on a school night at 10 pm in May to a routine postgame presser for the sole purpose of fidgeting in front of a few hundred thousand television viewers and wondering why they’re there,
