Netflix is spending some money promoting this new Gal Gadot movie, Heart of Stone.

Anyone see it yet?

Stanton doesn’t trust himself not to lay off bad pitches anymore so he has become a guess hitter, so he gets frozen on fastballs down the middle all the time now.

It’s amazing how bad he is now. I figured he’d age gracefully enough to only be a moderate albatross…like the “no defense but still .800-.850 OPS” guy. But he’s on the fast track to being so bad, that I’m not sure he’s in the majors after next season unless he bounces back some.

Would not be surprised. Just pay him to go away. It's quite the albatross around their neck.

Come on he's almost an average hitter this year

Stanton is weird. Even when he's going well he looks so stiff and awkward. When he's going bad, he looks like he's holding a baseball bat for the first time in his life.

His stance is so closed. Looks like a bad stance for someone aging and getting slower to the ball

He's really grown on me. I still love to listen to Will McDonough on radio. He's just the best. His deadpan humor is something else.
sadly “deadpan” is a bit too close to the mark here

(think you mean Sean)
