i mean it's been said like 100x that sanchez wasn't really here to play, but to be a guy in the meeting room to mentor about what it's like to suck in the nfl and blah blah blah. his relationship with prescott last year has been brought up a lot too. i think it's a load of horsefeathers but clearly they believe he has value in that role as basically a coach under the guise of a fellow player. for whatever reason I hadn't heard that. seems stupid to waste a 53 man roster spot on a mentor but whatever.
Tough to win when you don't have Rizzo, Russell, Schwarber, Contreras, Heyward, etc in the lineup. I know Heyward sucks and Schwarber can't hit lefties but still, can't win too many games with Caratini and Rivera in place of Rizzo and Contreras.
Why does Cincinnati feel the need to protect a 2-0 lead by bringing in the dude who started twice against the Cubs in August giving up 14 combined runs in 7.1 IP?
Kinda shitty for a rookie making his 2nd big league appearance to have his inherited runners trusted to a position player. dude might not have a long career and his career ERA will be that much higher because an OF allowed both of his runners to score
