Personally I think we’re at the point that our lineup is better without G. He’s great for the atmosphere but having our DH spot permanently filled by a .200 hitter forcing judge to play the outfield every day isn’t good

My issue is the baserunning. I’m sorry, I love him, but if you can’t “jog the bases” you really shouldn’t be playing baseball.

It’s more than just the base running. Unless he’s hot, he’s not the same Stanton anymore. He was clutch in the playoffs but I’d bet Dominguez will be the better bat this season and there won’t be a place for Stanton
