"Help is on the way." And we see the smiling faces of Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge, as they "hip bump" with joy in their Yankee uniforms.
Aaron Judge, if he is indeed healthy, is a legitimate ballplayer who helps in every way. He plays defense, he takes ball four, and he hits mammoth HRs about 30 plus times a year.
Note to editor; a home run that leaves the park by six inches counts the same as one that travels 500 feet, so don't get caught up in the hype and display. Exceptionally powerful swings are the reason he pulled his core muscles all to shit. And you feel them most when you strike out.
Giancarlo is a fish of another kettle. He was MVP once for all the wrong reasons, in a different lake. He does not represent "help." Dallas Keutchel represented " help." Stanton is going to cause the Yankees to lose Frazier, Maybin and several top prospects.
The line-up will change, the bench will change, the farm system inventory of quality players will change, and team speed and defense will be negatively altered. This very week, Stanton will commence racking up golden sombreros and banging into easy double plays.
Stanton has to play all the time or it will embarrass Hal and Brian. It will show they got overly excited about a flashy player who would attract fans, because he hits homeruns. But he can't move and he does not put the baseball into play. There is a new statistic for that, and his line simply
reads, " he sucks."
The " help" Stanton provides is the help an incurable virus provides when you go to the hospital to have your appendix out. You get worse and you never fully recover.
So disregard all the cheery headlines. The " help" provided by Judge will be immediately offset by the disruption and failure brought by Stanton.
You wont see him jumping up, bumping hips, and smiling any more. You'll see him with that dazed look, heading to the dugout after his fourth strike out of the day with runners in scoring position.
Dry rot comes to the summer cottage by the lake.

Alphonso, hip bumping has now been officially banned by the Yankees, lest it injure more of their glass giants.
So has elbow-bumping, high-fiving, low-fiving, jumping too hard on the plate, helmet tossing (great way to pull an oblique, right there), back-slapping, butt-slapping, or overly loud shouted congratulations. May shatter an eardrum or cause infectious spittle to land on another player.
And no jumping for joy! Just ask Kendry about that one.
I’m so happy to testify of the good work of @DrPepokotemple I Suffer from Herpes virus since 2011 and i had frequent symptoms in my private area, after some time it will go away after using acyclovir drugs, then come back after some months. it was disheartening since i have been diagnosed, but after finding @DrPepokotemple and his reviews i was convinced that he will definitely cure me and so i contacted and he told me how to get his medicine and using it for just 14 days and i will go and check up and first i said how can that be possible but i used his herbal medicine after making purchase and truly i used it and went for the test again, and my result came back negative. so i made it a task to share this good testimony in the internet so that those sick can benefit and get cured
