Locked down Trout, Ohtani ready to pitch again, good young dudes like Adell and Fletcher, nabbed Maddon, going hard after pitching, Pujols' contract will eventually end... I feel pretty good about the future.
MLB app says three years.
That stat from the end of the telecast last night was something: teams that sweep the LCS are 1-6 in the World Series.
I know stankees r the underdogs but I hope we at least get a game 7 outta this series.
... n that gnats win the whole thing.

Well Stanton at least had a hr against the twins. I say DH him for a game and see how it goes.
I think Stanton is a pinch-hitter unless the Yankees somehow make the WS with a fresh set of games he could play in.
The thought process is beyond just the LCS, which is the problem. If Stanton is replaced on the roster due to injury, he would be ineligible to play in the World Series.
Edit: But the overall roster situation is what's also making Stanton pretty unusable at the moment. Because they're carrying an extra pitcher, they just have a three man bench. Which is effectively a two man bench, since Romine essentially has to be treated as dead weight in case Sanchez gets hurt. So that makes Maybin the only player on the bench that can go into the field. Unless Stanton pinch hits for the DH, you have to use him and then put Maybin in the field and have nobody left. If Stanton hits for an infielder, you'll wind up losing the DH, etc etc.

Totally get that, but he's not exactly known to be a clutch postseason hitter. Add the fact that he's not fully healthy. Do Yankees fans really want him pinch-hitting in a big spot in the World Series?
Which should have been the other addendum to the edit I had just made lol. Stanton has not demonstrated himself in past postseasons or since coming off the IL. And the Yankees lineup is pretty damn stacked, you're already trusting everyone in the starting lineup at the plate.

Stanton pales in comparison to the GOAT.
Lol Cashman should be fired for that contract alone

He's probably getting heckled and can't handle it.
(Grienke has really bad social anxiety disorder).

Verlander to seal it and a lovely neutral WS for me as both teams will have slayed evil to get there. Go Nats if I have to choose , lots of good stories there
