OT: 2018 New York Yankees season
- Thread starter c10j10s
- Start date
It was terrible.
Some Italian phrase, which is ridiculous because Stanton isn’t Italian.
About as impressive a debut as I’ve ever witnessed for a new yankee star. Stanton seems legitimately energized playing on a real ball club.
Stanton hit two homeruns the opposite way. The second one went 434 feet the opposite way. Only 8 of his 59 home runs last year went the opposite way. He is going to crack 70 if he takes advantage of the short porch and right when the Yankees are at home this year.
At 117.3 mph, Giancarlo Stanton's HR was the hardest to the opposite field ever tracked by @statcast.
Severino gives up a single hit in 5+.
Judge goes 2/4 with a walk.
Gardner goes deep.
Could NOT ask for a better opener (other than the Bird thing).

Jeez that call was horrible. Shouldve just said A STANTONIAN BLAST and left it at that.
As many times as I've seen him hit Homer's at Citi Field, this guy would hit 40-50 Homer's anywhere. May hit 50-60 in the Bronx. Dude is legit AF.
And I didnt know he hit two Homer's as @AreYouNUTS posted ar the same time as I did, lol.
I’m thinking, as Was the case with Nick Swisher and a couple other guys,, this one will get changed.
I thought Michael Kay's call was genuine and sounded excited until he remembered to say SEE YA!!!!
Aaron Hicks to the 10 day DL with an intercostal muscle strain. Wonder if his injuries will be a recurring problems. In five previous seasons he has played a 100 or more games once.
Good article today over at Fangraphs on how Stanton closed off his stance in the 2nd half of last season leading to harder hit balls the opposite way. From https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/giancarlo-stantons-adjustment-appears-to-be-carrying-over/ :
That little tweak had such a huge impact on his second half.
Interestingly enough, judges stance his rookie season is quite different vs his stance 2017 onwards. The results were effective I d say for him as well.
Stay healthy. If Judhe and Stanton hit enough HRs the Yankees will be fine.
Bird and Hicks are injured so often and for such long periods I'm starting to think as soon as they get back in the lineup for a few weeks, trade them while they have some value. They have been and will be hurt and on the DL for extended periods of time each and every year. A shame for them, but Cashmen needs to make some tough decisions for the good of the team.
The problem with that is:
1) Nobody else wants injured players either
2) Who's going to replace them?
You can't just throw rookies or free agents in there for 162 games. Patience, my friend.
You can't help but cringe when Betances comes in.
What happened to this guy ? Batters used to be the ones cringing when he came in.
And I'm still trying to figure why Boone left him in for a second inning.
Oh well. I guess the Yanks aren't going undefeated this season.

Was Betances wild pitch truly a wild pitch? How is Sanchez doing on defense? It's early, but he has to get his offense going. . . .
It's worth giving him a few attempts to right the ship, but yes, it is looking like he just lost it. Triple A may be his only hope.
