The New York Yankees fell to the Houston Astros in game one of a three game series on Monday (5-1). General manager Aaron Boone decided to “rest” Giancarlo Stanton, but I simply can’t imagine he deserved any days off in the middle of the stone-cold hitting streak.
Stanton finished off on Sunday against the A’s 0-4, striking out every time he got up to bat. Flashbacks to the beginning of the season began to flood the minds of Yankee fans, and his .246 batting average continued to drop.
The New York Yankees have one of the most powerful lineups in baseball.
