Giancarlo Stanton's struggling with that, and I have to trust him with a bat in his hands.

Now we see, and we were out there how many times at Yankee Stadium doing 16-hour shows and watching him swing and batting practice and the full velocity.

Now, on not having surgery on the elbow, Stanton was asked, do you regret not having surgery?

And he said, you get the surgery and you can go back to being in the general population in a few months.

But my job is to put some of the most force into a batted ball.

I agree with that.

I understand.

So basically, I'm going to wait on having surgery until after my career.

freaking hercules yeah well exactly because he lifts like a maniac and hercules right but like over time especially because he's been playing for so long when you lift that much your body just starts to reject weight yes which is where the the next part in a moment is going to come in uh he also added that what's going on with him is not going to be fixed in surgery this is a doozy of a quote tiki i don't care what any doctor says because they don't know what's going on

Are doctors the medical professionals that do know what's going on?

And a doctor can't relate to that.

Okay, so then he also added, what's written about my elbows is what me and the Yankees give you.

Well, hold on.

If you're giving us this morning.

Right, why are you even giving us that?

I want to make this clear.

Again, this is a Randy Miller piece.

If you're just joining us at NJ.com, he spoke to Giancarlo Stanton.

You can go find it there.

If you're giving us this, and this is written made to make Giancarlo Stanton look like a hero going into the season.
