    That was actually his full speed. He’s hurt but they’re willing to take his bat and hope he hits more HR’s than gets thrown out at home…

    Then you stop at 3B. There's a time for the "make the defense make a play" play, but unless Dubon throws it to the backstop he had just no chance to score.

    Stanton should be JVs personal baserunner

    WTF was that? Stanton gave up
    Dubon just bought himself another 10 days this month as CFer by Dusty

    So instead of making trades the Yankees just rushed all their players back from injuries

    Some sort of cognitive dissonance happened there.

    I mean, they’re knowingly playing him when he has zero running ability. He played RF Thursday (badly).

    I can’t say they’re making the best decisions as an organization.

    He has an ERA of 3.00 for the game so far with a bloody knuckle.

    Man, I would never send Stanton if that's the effort you are gonna get.

    He doesn't seem physically capable of sprinting or sliding.

    His .205 average says otherwise.

    "an aggressive send" by the third base coach. Very gently put.

    The fans were booing and cursing him in the background like they thought he was lollygagging. If he's that hurt he will still hurt the team like he did there on that pitiful attempt to score.

    Apparently he has some injury and wont risk aggrevating it by running full speed
