And this was a good game to rest Sano....why? Doesn't matter what Sano is doing (as long as he's playing a serviceable 3B, which he has been...because you're replacing him in the lineup with Adrianza...in a game you know you're going to have to score a bunch...and he had shown signs of making decent contact the previous game...and he's the number one guy you need to get going...and...

You forgot to close your parentheses.

This is why most players only give standard cliches while being interviewed.   Any time they step off the script... they are judged and usually judged harshly.    My wife once asked me if I liked the

Luckily we can't be mad at Eddie for grounding out because we're still too stunned by the Magellan-esque voyage of his throw to the infield.

 

I know that some will look at that throw and be upset with his lack of baseball IQ. 

 

However... Personally I'd rather have an error of enthusiasm over an error of un-enthusiasm, umm... non-enthusiasm, or... whatever the opposite of enthusiasm is.

I haven't been noticing those signs of decent contact.

 

I'd sit him with a message to try and get his head right for the Yankees series and I'd tell him that he has Grossman ready to hit in the 3 spot again if he doesn't get things turned around pronto. 

 

Sano has been walking up to the plate with no plan whatsoever from what I can tell. You gotta fix him and sometimes you fix him by letting him know there are consequences.

This game makes me think that you're going to want a solid backup plan in place for the rest of the season.

Here's what some of you guys were hoping for - Garver pinch hitting for Castro. Here we go...

 

I was hoping for nobody pinch-hitting for Jonathan Lucroy, but that ship sailed over the horizon even farther than Eddie's throw.
