New York Post Rips Yankees' Catcher Gary Sanchez Over Baseball IQ in Entirely Dumb Take

Gary Sanchez leads all catchers with 29 home runs this season.

But he is also among the leaders of receiving constant criticism from Yankees fans and New York Media.

The latest bashing of Sanchez came from Phil Mushnick of the New York Post. Mushnick cites Sanchez not sliding into second base during a game against Oakland earlier this week as evidence that El Gary knows nothing about baseball.

Sanchez was thrown out at second on Brett Gardner's ground ball to first base. Mushnick rips Sanchez for looking back at first base rather than committing to running to second. Although the throw to second was off target, Sanchez not sliding into the base made it easier for him to be tagged out.

The article also calls out Sanchez for not always running hard and looking like he only cares about hitting home runs.

Sanchez is one of the best home run hitters in the game, so calling him out for remaining focused on his power numbers seems like an easy cheap shot to take.

The article feels like an overly-tough criticism of one of the best catchers in the game. Sanchez is an offensive force in the best lineup in baseball and has improved his once horrible defense behind the plate.
