Haven't heard a peep on Stanton, which is concerning.

Probably faking it

a guy like that hates the thought of playing a full season

He did suddenly have this quad issue pop up just when they started talking about him playing a few games in the OF.

Some 2nd round pick from last year, only A ball, getting a lotta love, forget his name

High A, and yes, he looks good

 

[chappee11]

He’s no Alex Verdugo

Verdugo had the better season last year. Jury is out on this one.

P.S. You can’t stand Judge.

I don’t bet baseball but I have a buddy that has always said it’s the best money making sport, and the sweep avoidance formula is something he always kills it on

and it’s really a hit when a team you would consider very good trying to avoid the sweep

When I used to bet(and, thankfully, I don’t anymore) baseball is always where I did the best. You can always find some great values in there if you know where to look. But gambling is a grind.

Credit where it’s due, he’s crushing everything in sight

Lemehiue racking up multi hit games

Stanton with a bad oblique

things are normalizing

How many games did Ernie Banks miss with sore obliques?

Doesn’t sound like he’s going to play in their next series....

“Giancarlo Stanton, baseball player, a man barely alive....we can rebuild him, we have the technology......

Yankees placed DH Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 14, with a left quad strain.​

Stanton sat out of the weekend with what was termed as quad tightness and it turns out he'll need some extended rest. It's brutal news for the Yankees, who just placed Aaron Hicks (wrist) on the injured list for what could be a lengthy absence. Stanton has hit well this season, slashing .282/.347/.534 with nine home runs and 24 RBI over 33 games. His power bat is going to be missed in a big way.

Jury is most definitely not out on Alex Verdugo vs Aaron Judge unless you have Boston Red Sox pajamas

I’d love for just one owner one day and come out and say how unacceptable this shit is with the money a guy like this gets paid

Oh look, another dirty slide from Machado.

 

[Pure Steel]

Oh look, another dirty slide from Machado.

He needs to get plunked......

Did he think that 2nd basemen was a bald 25 year old gentleman?

Alex Verdugo just turned 25 two days ago. When Judge turned 25 he had 11 career HR’s.

Judge is a finished product. We know what he is. And, of course, we’d all take THIS version of Judge when he’s healthy and slugging homers every day. But that version is very rare. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know here.

It really is unbelievable. He hasn’t even played the field this year.

This is the only version of a healthy Judge

Alex Verdugo is never batting .280 with 45 HR and 120 RBI

not

Yeah. I’m not disagreeing with that. But that’s also not his game. He’s a good outfielder and a very good contact hitter who gets on base a lot. Different animal than Judge.

P.S. Judge has hit 45 homers once and has NEVER driven in 120 runs.

PS- Alex Verdugo has never had a good season as a pro

Gleyber is 2 years younger and Verdugo will prob never touch his best season

smells like a Spanish Brett Gardner
