No, no, no, no.

Stanton is ramping up to try to play by probably the end of next week or March 4th, I guess March 4th, the end of next week in spring training games.

But what Stanton gave quote-wise to Randy Miller today makes it feel like he's trying to be heroic, and I see it, but I don't know how alarm bells aren't sounding all over Tampa and the Bronx.

So Giancarlo Stanton's elbow, he says, and I quote, I can't open a bottle, I can't open a bag of chips, a bag of anything.

That's the way it is.

Aaron Boone added, for me, he's the poster child of mentally tough.

I don't know how else to say it's true.

Poster child.

And Stanton also added that the public outlook would be that I wouldn't be mentally tough if I miss games due to the elbow injury.

Now, I'm going to read more on the surgery and everything else.

Mentally tough?

When you hear all those quotes, Tiki, as a former athlete, what the heck is going through your mind?

Do the motion.

We all do it.

You pinch the bag and you pull it open.

Right.

Again, now if he's talking about the Hal's chips that are a little thick or bad, maybe I understand.

Yeah, but I can't even open those sometimes.

Let me get some scissors to open this thing.

My kid can open up the bag of Doritos, the Lay's salt and vinegar, no problem.
