 talk about Stanton and his return and just seeing him in that two-spot with judge behind him I think much more intimidating for an opponent. Oh I don't think there's any doubt Bob if you're going through that pitcher-catcher meeting in the Detroit Tiger clubhouse and your young right-hander Casey Mies and you have to think about the first inning at the top of the first LaMayou had a couple of hits yesterday he looks like he's gonna get back on track and then you have Stanton hitting in front of judge and why is that such a big deal because Aaron Judge is one of the hottest hitters on the Yankee club right now so if you're Casey Mies going into that first inning you have to be aggressive with John Carlos Stanton knowing that judge is hitting behind him and protecting him that's going to mean that Stanton should get some good pitches to hit you wonder if his timing might be off a little bit the 18 games before he went on the IL he was hitting 378 with six home runs and we know he can carry a club but just the sight of those two guys hitting in the first inning it's intimidating for an opposing pitcher it's a confidence builder for Yankee lineup all right
