And hate to bag on everything, but Stanton does not look good and is getting beaten by meaty fastballs over the plate. It's not like he's even diving for sliders or other BS. He's just flat out missing balls up in the zone and getting himself out.
Maybe it's first week jitters, but christ I expect a little more than this. Here's to a better weekend.

I don't agree with firing Fredi, but if they're thinking about firing him then just do it now. This team is 7.5 games back in the NL East and trailing three teams, and 7 games back in the Wild Card and trailing 7 teams. And it's the middle of June. This isn't an early season struggle anymore.
If they're going to make a run at the playoffs, they need to do everything possible to jump a few teams and narrow that gap before the calendar turns to July. It's nice to point to teams like the '07 Rockies as evidence that a team can make up alot of ground in a short period of time, but those teams are the exception to the rule. Chances are if you're 7+ games back and trailing a fuckboat of teams when the calendar turns to July, your season isn't gonna end in a pile.
Fix shit up in the next week or two. Or don't bother with fixing anything during the season, outside of selling off the vets and playing the kids, because it'll likely already be too late.
And yeah, Stanton looks like shit, but he's gotta fight through it in the majors because sending him back to AAA may fuck with his head and is just a terrible idea for a number of other reasons.
