The New York Yankees have the best record in baseball. Giancarlo Stanton has been a huge part of their success, belting 10 home runs and 31 RBIs with a .300 batting average.
MLB Network analyst Brian Kenny is known for his bold takes, and his recent take may be his boldest and most idiotic one yet. Kenny tried to argue that New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is bad for the team.
"Brian Kenny just spent an odd amount of time trying to convince people that Giancarlo Stanton might be bad for the Yankees" - @ Talkin' Yanks
This take got plenty of criticism from New York Yankees fans and analysts across the sport. Jomboy, founder of Jomboy Media, did not hold back in his critique of Kenny.
"What the f**k is this? How does this get put through the air? This sucks" - @ Jomboy
All the criticism of Kenny's latest take is justified for being a statement which proves a desperate need for viewership and not quality. Without a slugger like Stanton, Yankees would not be in the position they are currently. It is disrespectful of Brian Kenny to even suggest such absurdity.
New York Yankees have new Bash Brothers in Stanton and Judge
The Yankees have two of the best power hitters in baseball, and this has many thinking back to some of the baseball's best power duos. With Stanton and Aaron Judge being both 6' 6" and 250+ pounds, one can only think of the Bash Brothers of Mark McGwire and Jose Conseco of the Oakland Athletics in the 80s and 90s.
The Yankees sluggers are both in the top three of the MLB home run race. Judge leads the league with 12 homers and Stanton has 10. Aaron Judge hit a bomb against the White Sox earlier this week.
"Pardon me. Are you Aaron Judge, sir?" - @ Yankees
Giancarlo Stanton belted a couple in Chicago this week. Here are the full highlights of the Yankees' blowout defeat of the White Sox.
Aaron Judge is on pace for a record-setting season. ESPN's Buster Olney tells us what he could do this season.
"Aaron Judge's Bet on Himself update... He's on pace to finish the year with: 137 runs, 30 doubles, 61 homers, 137 RBI, He's got a .305/.376/.661 slash line." - @ Buster Olney
The New York Yankees have multiple other power-hitters in their lineup. Anthony Rizzo has nine home runs as well and is a lefty power bat to compliment the two right-handed sluggers. Here are the three player stats so far this season.
Overall, Brian Kenny made an awful take and should apologize for making people listen to that on MLB Network. Giancarlo Stanton is one of the best power-hitters in baseball and is a huge reason for the success of the Yankees.
