PHILADELPHIA — Given the high bar he has set for himself recently, Giancarlo Stanton clocked a rather pedestrian Tuesday night. During the game, at least.
After the game? We all wanted to talk to him about what he did before the game.
Such is the phenomenon of Stanton and his fellow behemoth Aaron Judge that, even after the Yankees and Luis Severino stomped on Jake Arrieta and the Phillies to the tune of a 6-0 victory at Citizens Bank Park, one of the day’s top items of discussion remained Stanton’s turbo-blasted batting–practice homer that left the yard altogether and landed (presumably) in a parking lot outside.
