It’s been a fairly ugly final month of the regular season for Giancarlo Stanton , who entered Thursday in a 9-for-56 funk with just one homer over his previous 16 games.
“He’s the X-factor for us,’’ Aaron Judge said. “We’ve seen it postseason after postseason. He comes up big-time with big hits for us. But I could see a different look in his eye when I walked into the field. He was locked in, he had a different focus, like that playoff-Stanton we’ve seen so many times.”
No one in the lineup has a higher playoff OPS and only Judge has more homers but they’ve come in 88 more plate appearances.Asked what gives Stanton an edge at this time of year, Aaron Boone said, “Talent and very mentally tough. He’s very meticulous in how he prepares and is not affected by a bad at-bat, or the noise around this, that can leak in for some guys.
So while he’ll continue to be a sloth on the basepaths and strike out a ton, Stanton will try to live up to his sizable contract with another solid October.
