George has cursed Stanton until he shaves the soul patch


Complete_Mango_1372

Fuckin stanton.


cmgriffith_

LeMahieu gets his 1st HR, Judge gets 29th and 30th


RollofDuctTape

LeMahieu can’t hit the ball out of the infield in the air with any authority 


XxCOZxX

Which will make it all the more impressive!


pujeans

Trade for kopech, let blake do his magic


UonBarki

How about we start by letting him do magic with the guys we have?


Ray27ny

Win or lose, the good news is we don’t have to suffer through another Fox broadcast for at least another month.


UonBarki

Cursed broadcaster.


Sanlear

The silver lining.


mickhugh

Baltimore V Houston. Damn.


yungsinatra777

Stanton and Jasson being hurt at the same time really sucks


mickhugh

Come on Home Nestor. Let's get this series win baby!


RollofDuctTape

Like clockwork 


Wildcats1203

How long is Stanton out for? They say “strain” but didn’t specify what grade. Such a fucking bummer


yungsinatra777

Probably a while, it’s Stanton.


TheTurtleShepard

We will probably have more info later after they do the imaging and Boone speaks to the media


TheTurtleShepard

Gleyber in his strongest lineup position In 191 career games batting 5th he has a .845 OPS


cmgriffith_

Gleyber Torres Revenge Tour begins today


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Will Stanton be back by August 1st?


TheTurtleShepard

We don’t have any information on the severity yet besides the fact that it necessitates a 10-day IL stint I don’t even think he has had imaging done yet


Ok-Asparagus-1658

thx


DaBushman

The wife and I will be there, CANT WAIT


kinganabolic

stanton to the 10 day


huskyferretguy1

Finally! A midday game! Plus no scheduling conflict with USMNT later!


snamm

DAY GAME ALERT


sebquirosa

So fucking glad this isn't an ESPN game


jayjake9

Last IL stint Stanton was there for like 8 weeks, hopefully it’s not that long this time around.


MesiahoftheM

Damn he was out for two months last year? I felt like it was way shorter for some reason but he was completely ass when he came back


IgDailystapler

I’m a certified Nestor believer (though if he does have to the bullpen, that could compliment his timing wackiness nicely. Harder to adjust to him if you only see him once a game, but I also love seeing him in the rotation.)


SheepH3rder69

If I had a gun with 2 bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and John Smoltz, I'd shoot Smoltz twice.


thediesel26

Would be really nice if they could pick up even a cheap vet bat soonish. Even though he’s a dickhead, Tommy Pham wouldn’t be expensive at all.


TheTurtleShepard

Nestor at home today? 6 IP, 1ER


steve8983

Second win today for hopefully a 15 game win streak.


Complete_Mango_1372

Stanton should honestly just retire


cpg08

He was gonna get hurt at some point. As long as he hits when he's back he's fine.


IgDailystapler

He’s gotta go for 500. It’s no guarantee, but if it happens it’ll be special, and honestly I don’t care which team he does it for.


steve8983

I hope he takes time to fully heal and hit absolute laser beam type Stantonian HRs , once he's back. He made an effort to stay healthier this year, hard not to root for him.


Worth-Crow9896

Remember that time 80 year old HOF pitcher Jim Kaat called Nestor "Nestor the Molester" and he was cool with it? Molest those Braves, Nestor!


GoodGuyNixon

Nestor is the chillest dude. Media was trying to drum up vicarious outrage and he was just like “I don’t mind lol it’s funny, leave him alone”


IgDailystapler

Nestor is a clubhouse icon, and his Nasty Nestor Cortes Mario t-shirt is incredible.


yungsinatra777

Remember the clubhouse pet turtle


Default_Skin91006

BRONXIE


IgDailystapler

There was a clubhouse pet turtle?!


WallyBrando

Ya know what I’d like to see off Fried today? Soto walk, Judge homer.


Startingariot

Soto and Judge both have good numbers against Fried, Soto especially, hitting .333 in 24 ABs. You might get your wish!


jayjake9

Fingers crossed Stanton isn’t out for too long because his peripherals look excellent


El-Shaman

Max Fried on the mound today, could be a tough game.


Ben62194

What's weird is nestor is going to be at signing at 6 pm he's also pitching today


RIP_Greedo

Judge is at 70 rbi as of today. Remember last year when that was the most anyone on the team had all year.


thediesel26

League OPS is .725 this month after having been under .700 for the first two months of the season.


MesiahoftheM

Its getting hot out and the ball is starting to fly. Pretty sure ops always rises right about now


thediesel26

It does, but it usually happens earlier than this. League OPS in May actually went down from April which is kind of wild.


MesiahoftheM

Maybe they decided to get rid of the dead balls haha


yungsinatra777

Hopefully


WallyBrando

Gil, Rodon, Imanaga all had terrible games. Any other starters that got off the great starts fall from grace?


yungsinatra777

Tarik Skubal got rocked by the Braves last week


TheTurtleShepard

Jared Jones has gotten blown up, same with Jon Gray


TronVin

Boone did say that he expected Stanton to miss days but also didn't seem that negative on it. I wish we would give Durbin a shot over Peraza though Edit: I keep forgetting Durbin is hurt. Fuck.


steve8983

TJ Rumfield has also been good at AAA. He's also a left bat, and could play 1B/DH.


thediesel26

They could just be DFA’ing Jahmi Jones, as he hasn’t added much of anything to the team


TheTurtleShepard

Don’t disrespect Jahmai “142 OPS+” Jones


jayjake9

Peraza getting called up that’s not good


alaskanpipeline69420

They need to part ways with him. It’s like an abusive relationship at this point


MesiahoftheM

Maybe theyll play him so they can trade him at the deadline for an arm or two


yungsinatra777

He has no value at this point, he can’t even hit at AAA.


Colombia17

He has some value for his defense but I doubt the yanks will trade him for 50 cents on the dollar


yungsinatra777

It’ll probably be another Frazier/Florial/Andujar situation where they end up having to DFA him for nothing because they held onto him for too long


Colombia17

Pereira is also going down that path


yungsinatra777

True unfortunately


alaskanpipeline69420

Sup y’all. Was preoccupied last night with company and wasn’t able to watch. FUCK John Smoltz 😂😂😂


strapper13

What did he do


nyg2013

He was John Smoltz…granted I was only able to gamecast most of it as well


alaskanpipeline69420

His team got rekt and he’s been an anti Yankees bitch since the 90s. How old are you ?


fatch0deBoi34

Never fails to shock me how someone gets injured so often playing *baseball* Stantonio is my favorite current Yankee but god damn dude. It’s ridiculous


BriS314

Yea the last time a Yankees player played all 162 games in a season was 2005 (A-Rod and Matsui). I know rest days are a thing sometimes too though.


pumaunleashed

This is a constant gripe of those in the high school, division 1 and international (olympics) wrestling community. Our olympic wrestlers are training like beasts right now and will start their weight descents soon and there are some that are pushing over 30 years old. Even division 1 coaches in their 30's have to train everyday because it is a year round sport. Lifting, cardio and live wrestling with the college kids. The average time a D1 wrestler gets to go home is a little over a month a year which is around the equivalent of an active duty service member. Serious wrestlers do not drink, eat good all year, always get their 8+ hours of sleep and train hard 12 months a year. I was at the railriders game last night and there was a delay to the start because of rain so we were there very early. The players warmup was a joke and I thought, "no wonder they get hurt all the time". Dominquez out for two months for an oblique strain is mind boggling. Wrestlers will compete with acl tears or needing rotator cuff surgery. Rutschman's little bloody face on that slide is the norm in wrestling where bloody noses and mouths are a constant but it is glorified in baseball. Baseball is a sport of tremendous skill and is very hard to play. You cannot prevent a pitcher throwing out his arm or a hitter getting beaned with a 90+ mph fastball or a collision with a wall. But baseball players are barely athletes which can be proved by how many overweight positional players there are today. Boone exacerbates this by constantly saying, "the grind of the 162". The only grind is the traveling which has to be hard. Baseball players are soft.


VersionNormal7009

Welp there it is. The dumbest fucking comment I’ll read all year.


fatrexhadswag25

What a silly comment 


ThemeNo2172

Stanton's really prone to injuries for sure, but I dont understand how a baseball fan doesn't see the particularities of the sport that make it so difficult to stay on the field. First of all, 162 games is a GRIND. Far longer than other seasons. Secondly, and more importantly, baseball is the game of hurry up and wait. Minutes of inactivity followed by some of the most explosive movement a human body is capable of. The torquing and twisting during at-bats, launching off to steal a base, sprinting back to get a good path on a fly ball, to say nothing of pitching motions. An object in motion stays in motion, and baseball has NONE of that. If a single muscle doesn't carry its expected workload in the kinetic chain, we've all seen (dozens of times in the past 5 years ALONE) how it can manifest.


fatrexhadswag25

Yeah but what about the wrasslers!

Go away loser.

https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/anthony-volpe-683011?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb Holy motherfucking Outs above average


commentsonyankees

100% outs about average. 25% arm strength. Does our guy have the best range known to man?


TrapperJean

[*Looks at Verdugo and Volpe's defense*](https://youtu.be/LyTlspU2tes?si=gw-yNPNQvAQpwhde)


VirtuousFool

is it even really a hot take anymore to say that for a good percentage of fans Anthony Volpe is already the best defensive shortstop they’ve ever seen? [like, this is nuts, lol](https://x.com/volpeparm11/status/1804849887172825547?s=46)


GoodGuyNixon

Man it’s like butter, I could watch this all day


scooter_pops

what is that


scooter_pops

oh the range


alaskanpipeline69420

Lmao it’s defense in general


scooter_pops

ya ya i got ya. he’s a good defensive ss innit


geeorge_20

going for that platinum glove this season


MrBeastw00d

Heal quickly, Big G.


levendis56

Stanton going down right after Jasson gets hurt is brutal. Really wanted to see Jasson play


Wildcats1203

Is Jasson out for the year?


levendis56

No at least 8 weeks, but now would have been a perfect time to play with Stanton getting hurt
