1. It’s not his fault

2. Bob Costas 👀

3. Playing Giancarlo in Left Field at Fenway is certainly a choice

4. A triple off The Monster, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before.

5. well, he almost got in the general vicinity of it

6. Ive seen some really good defenders struggle to play LF in Fenway

   Stanton shouldn’t be playing the field but almost no one looks good out there

7. Witness the relentlessness of the best team in baseball 🤣

8. Me staring at the MLB app trying to comprehend “Duran triples to SS”

9. Left field shouldn’t be hard for an outfield. We’ve stuck Manny and Yoshida there and they have been alright.

10. ohh so thats why gameday says he got a triple on a fly ball to the shortstop

11. Classic yankee fundamentals on display in this game

12. That slow mo at the end shows you truly how far he was from making a play at the ball.

13. Welcome to Fenway.

14. I mean. Can’t really blame Giancarlo on that effort. He just can’t play any defense now.😂

15. When in doubt, just put the ball in play against the Yankees. See what happens

16. Just your average 309 foot pop up that hits the wall

17. Just play off the wall plz Stanton lmao

    Don’t try to make crazy plays and get hurt

18. Flyball to left… fielded by… shortstop Jose Caballero

19. You know the Yankees, they’re not a good ball club

20. What percentage of triples are hit to LF?

21. 😂 these guys are supposed to be baseball players

22. Hilarious seeing Stanton back in the field

23. there are fenway singles and fenway triples

24. Outfield at Fenway is a bitch, no mockery deserved.

25. One thing you can count on is a Yankee error quickly making its way to a /r/baseball post

26. [deleted]

27. I thought Judge was back to playing in the outfield?

28. Dude can barely walk whats he doing in left?

29. In the box score, this is a triple to the SS. Can’t say I’ve ever seen that before.

30. “That the value was very high to put the ball in play to make the Yankees execute.”

31. He reminds me of when Ozuna used to play left field

32. If only they had a guy who had outfielding experience and was way faster…

33. Remember in like 7th/8th grade, when you got to play baseball/softball in PE class, and the girls who never played any sport ever were forced to play.

    Giancarlo Stanton here looked exactly like that 7th grade girl that never played a sport in her life trying to catch a fly ball.

34. Why is Stanton playing the field with his *gestures broadly* long ass injury rap sheet.

35. Yank fans to their entire defense:

    

36. > It just sneaks up on you

    And by “it” we mean…the 37-foot wall? The ball, which landed *behind* him? I’m not following you here, buddy.

37. Lmao fuck the Yankees

38. Is that what that’s called

39. “make them play baseball”

40. Way to go, Jarren!

41. He wasn’t prepared for the green monster

42. Huh, guess defense does matter

43. What the hell was that?

44. The Yankees have a great Fantasy team. All that power; it plays. Playing Stanton in the OF……

45. “Difficult play”

    I don’t have ESPN so listening to WEEI and they were like “a terrible defensive play! He jumped and it landed at his feet! Stanton and Duran is a match made in heaven” or very close to that. I was dying listening lmao

46. So graceful!

47. Yankees trying to keep all the bats in the lineup

    

48. Thanks production team for the cut to some ridiculous ULTRA ZOOM IN where we can’t see shit happen. I swear these production teams for sports are always so bad. Terrible decision making all around that never ever gets changed.
