00:03 - To be honest, Craig, for me is a bummer
00:05 because right about the time I started really getting in
00:08 to baseball, gambling on baseball,
00:11 playing "Daylight Fantasy" in baseball
00:12 was when Stanton was like must-see TV,
00:16 when it was like you'd turn over for one of his at-bats
00:20 'cause he would hit those big towering home runs.
00:23 He did get to 579 plate appearances in 2021.
00:27 He was brutal in 2022.
00:30 He was somehow more brutal in 2023, a 191 batting average.
00:35 His K rate was 30%.
00:37 His walk rate was in the single digits
00:39 for the first time in his career since 2012.
00:42 I don't know if there is a solve there.
00:45 I guess I don't particularly know
00:47 his contract situation either,
00:49 but it feels like it's kind of unavoidable.
00:51 Maybe he's one of these guys
00:54 that meets with a hitting coach,
00:55 meets and changes his approach,
00:57 and it's all about X, Y, or Z,
00:58 and something clicks for him.
01:00 'Cause I think he's obviously still got the ability.
01:03 He is one of the most powerful hitters that just,
01:06 you know, unfortunately what you see with guys of his age
01:09 is when it goes for a 34-year-old power hitter,
01:14 very, very, very rarely does it come back.
