This is Stanton’s first hit on a pitch over 95 mph this month. He’s now 1 for 18

1. This is the video he’s referencing btw. [https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1706832303081578903](https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1706832303081578903). I knew Stanton’s ability to catch up to velocity was waning but holy shit.

2. Another big money player who disappointed the team.

3. Just in time for October

4. Imagine how strong a person has to be to hit a 118 mph ball with just his upper body, cuz his legs are cooked.

5. To say his legs are cooked and he’s done is over stating it IMO. But the concerns are valid.

6. And doddered home on a ball in the infield.

   You cannot fix stupid. Or slow.

7. He needs to be released

8. He seems to be a good guy so it’s a shame. But he needs to go

9. I don’t know how the rest of the league hasn’t figured it out but the big guy can’t hit a heater anymore. He sits off speed and crushes them.

10. That guy completely fucked over the Orioles

11. Has he been checked for a concussion yet?

12. I knew this contract would end up an absolute Albatross, his injury prone seasons before he had that big year and Cashman couldn’t fucking resist could he.
