If Girardi doesn't stop hitting Teixeira cleanup, Sanchez is going to see many more intentional walks.

The issue is the two IBBs weren't really against the book. Both plays had 1st base open, so I don't think it was too crazy, even the one in the 9th where it was 2nd and 3rd with two outs, as you can try for the DP or for the force at home with slow ass Tex batting.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Sounds like Niese may be done for the year. Undergoing surgery for a meniscus tear. Another one bites the dust.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Apparently Cespedes is a Met for two more years!

 

[Cassano]

Apparently Cespedes is a Met for two more years!

Wouldn't get hopes too high. He can still opt out.

 

[JT Kreider]

Apparently Cespedes is a Met for two more years!

Of course he was going to say that. adam Rubin was on 98.7 an hour or so ago and said that it's not like exactly what he said.

And now down goes Jay Bruce.

It's just not fair how injured this team is.

 

[darko]

Sanchize.

 

[JT Kreider]

My god how is it possible the Cardinals defense is this atrocious????

 

[Krams]

Justin Dunn 3 scoreless innings with 5 Ks for Brooklyn last night.

 

[darko]

No Sanchez home run today. He sucks.

 

[Krams]

Hahaha Bartolo splits the outfielders for a double and Keith called it beforehand

 

[Krams]

Flores clears the bases with a grand slam!

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Hmmmm the Mets are making it interesting here. Marlins are down, STL needs to lose and the Mets will be 2 1/2 games back

 

[TriFF51]

Sanchez goes deep again :O

 

[surf]

Flores needs to be everyday first basemen

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Gary Sanchez now has more home runs than the Mets have gotten out of the C position all season

This is insane. Does he have Buster Posey potential?

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Gary is scary. 3/4 tonight with 4 RBIs. Single, 2 run double, HR. Insane.

 

[Cassano]

If only they kept a 39 year old Beltran and those relievers like a poster here hinted towards.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Yawn. Not even impressed anymore. Let me know when he completes the cycle with a triple.

 

[Krams]

Agreed. Loney hasn't been consistently good in awhile.

 

[Draft Guru]

Yea can anybody tell me what Sanchez projected to be before this season? Obviously this is an all-time heater that he's on, but was he projected to produce even half as much as this some day?

Sanchez has always been known to have a good bat and serious pop. What he's doing right now is simply crazy but it's always been his receiving and maturity in question. He's really improved both in the last year or two.

If I had to give a projection, I'd say .270/.330/.480 would of been reasonable slash down the line. If someone else has a more concrete projection, feel free to correct me.

Loney is terrible at basically everything except not striking out.

He was a borderline top 50 prospect in baseball. Was ranked 41 a month ago by a system used on FG - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/an-improved-katoh-top-100-list/
