Not for nothing, but Giancarlo Stanton has homered in his last 3 playoff games, and 4 out of his last 5.

Something I said when we traded for him. He is one of the most intimidating batters when he is healthy and on a hot streak. When he gets cold it is hard to watch him get up there and strike out every AB. His streaks seem to last for half a season also.


In 2017 when him and Judge were hitting all those Homers late in the year Stanton had 14 homers at the All-Star break. He finished with 59 HRs that year so around 45 homers in 70 games.

Yeah, he's capable of going on incredible tears. Looks like he might've timed this one just right.

Looks relaxed at the plate and getting some good pitches to drive....he just has to lay off the junk low and away.....taking walks in this lineup isn’t a bad thing either......

Strange strategy taking Garcia out so quickly, just backfired.....

yeah i didn't get that. Should have just started Happ if this was the plan all along which seem like it was

Boone tried to get waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cute as expected. Cash called his bluff.

Stanton staying on fire though, still could be lots of scoring in this one.

Hopefully the Yankees can overcome Boone.....

 

[bksballer89]

Boone looks like a fucking moron

Said it yesterday. Tanaka was the killshot.

This is Baldelli level incompetence.

 

[bksballer89]

He and cashman simply gave this game to the Rays with this dumb strategy

 

[Pure Steel]

Putting on Netflix...Boone should be spit-roasted

I'm ok with Tanaka not starting. I prefer him in a close out game or a critical game 3 in a tied series. What I'm not ok with is starting one guy for an inning then turning to another starter. This is just dumb

 

[Pure Steel]

Gave a game away.....let Happ pitch the rest of the game.....

Definitely. I woulda just started with Montgomery or maybe Happ.

But never a bad thing to try and match Glasnow with experience.

Boone going to waste 2 starters and burnout his pen with no off days. This decision may have won the Rays this series

Up 1-0 in the series and pulling desperate BS moves....Sickening
