It's pointless to try and put the start of Gary Sanchez's career into words. He literally hits a home run every single day. Throwing runners out left and right. Working the count like fucking Paul O'Neill. He's been the best player in baseball over the last two weeks. That's a Snapple Fact.
It's pretty ridiculous how much more exciting the season has gotten since the fire sale. First there was the Austin-Judge debut and now a stretch of 10 homers in 12 games by Sanchez that has turned his every at-bat into appointment television. This team isn't playing better by coincidence. The Yankees are a better team than they were before the deadline because they've basically had Miguel Cabrera with a metal bat hitting in the middle of their lineup for the last 21 games. Warren-Clippard-Betances are nothing to shake a stick at either. They're 13-1 when leading after 6 innings since they shipped Miller and Chapman away.
It's nothing short of preposterous that the Yankees are still in this thing. This team was pretty much trash before they traded off their three best players and here they are. They're going to be six games over since the deadline and two games back of a playoff spot with almost their entire remaining schedule against teams that are in front of them. I'm sure for the next five weeks we'll all sit here and wait for the carriage to turn back into a pumpkin but for now the Yanks are right in the thick of it and that's pretty cool.
