Well, this is where it's kind of a caveat.

There are going to be a lot of off days, they say this.

And I want to make something clear.

When I read this, as a Yankee fan, I'm not upset at Giancarlo Stanton, and I appreciate that he's trying to will himself through pain for the betterment of the team.

put them on his back, and I appreciate him for that.

And I know that if this team wants their end goal of winning a World Series or facing the Dodgers down the line, Tiki, they're going to need Giancarlo Stanton as the Robin to Aaron Judge's Batman.
