My mind spits with an enormous kickback.

Stanton's work with the Miami Marlins (he batted .268 with 267 home runs in eight seasons) made him a coveted player this past winter. But after his first 10 games with the Yankees, Stanton has some questioning whether they are witnessing the same player.

Along with his 0-for-7, five-strikeout performance in Sunday's loss, Stanton went hitless and posted five strikeouts in his Yankees home debut on Tuesday.

That marks the first time in the live-ball era that a player has gone hitless with five strikeouts in two games in the same season, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Stanton also became the third player in the past 100 seasons to post multiple five-strikeout games in a season.

Overall, Stanton is batting .167 (7-for-42) with 20 strikeouts and three home runs across his first 10 games with the Yankees. Of his 42 at-bats, 47.6 percent have ended in strikeouts.

This is probably why the Mets have started off so well. The weather is obviously affecting the other teams.

It's tougher to get gorilla stem cells in New York.

There's been a punching bag void in the New York baseball media since A-Rod retired, Stanton will be their new target.

Not possible! Those lovable, scrappy over-achievers from the Bronx are America's sweethearts

What’s most impressive really is how he broke a season long record in 10 games.

Edit: actually a 5 game span.

He's getting beat on fastballs, which is very concerning. Swinging as the pitches are hitting the catcher's mitt.

I’m not sold on this guy for many reasons. First, his swing is just ugly!

I don’t know even where to begin to defend him, his swing is just girly too me!

And the booing, man that ain’t gonna help! The more he strikes out, and ohh yea , when there actually is 37 thousand fans at the stadium, ohhh myyyy, he may never get out of this funk

Giancarlo Stanton struck out more in the last week (16 times) than Joe DiMaggio did in the entire 1941 season (13 times).

Stance seems too closed to me, but obviously it's worked for him to this point. Something's not right though, he's not picking up the pitches anywhere near quick enough.
