May 14, 20168 yr The problem with the Stanton slumps are that they're really very bad slumps. He doesn't even draw too many walks when he's slumping. No matter what team it is when your best hitter who is the cleanup spot is striking out several times a game it's tough for the lineup to score multiple runs an inning
May 14, 20168 yr You know, I would be a very happy person if I never have to hear again "sometimes you need that ugly hit".

But nobody talks about that because they'd rather criticize Stanton for a salary that he's not even making this year.
May 14, 20168 yr These at bats by Hechavarria are just ridiculously bad. He can't hit a fastball down the middle at 91.
May 14, 20168 yr Damn nats again next weekend. We've only played the mets three games. And it'll be 13 against the nats already and it isn't even June.
May 14, 20168 yr Damn nats again next weekend. We've only played the mets three games. And it'll be 13 against the nats already and it isn't even June. It goes both ways that could just mean another opportunity if this series goes sour.
May 14, 20168 yr A bigger problem is Hechavarria sucking all the time. But nobody talks about that because they'd rather criticize Stanton for a salary that he's not even making this year. The salary is irrelevant. He bats in the cleanup spot. Hechavarria is the 8 hole hitter. Yes he's been horrible but when your top of the order caliber guys struggle it affects the team way more than when your 8 hole hitter struggles. Also I think it isn't even debatable hechavarria is the worst hitter in our lineup.
May 14, 20168 yr Lead off base hit and then three terrible at bats. Guy throwing 91 down the pipe. With a 0 ERA and over a K per inning but yeah he sucks clearly. God hates us and life is the worst.

Also I think it isn't even debatable hechavarria is the worst hitter in our lineup. The best teams in baseball have a balanced roster. Hechavarria playing like one of the worst players in baseball is a bigger issue. Some people expect Stanton to play like a god. Everyone should know by now that he has obvious flaws but his strengths outweigh his flaws over the course of a 162 game season. He's done this now since he's been in the big leagues.
