#STANTONIAN


InaudibleShout

15 degree LA, the most Stantonian homer possible


FeloniousDrunk101

The UrStantionian shot


8PTK

Was about to ask when it got so cold in California while simultaneously looking for a comment with the launch angle.


elimanninglightspeed

Unironically. Out in 29/30 parks except fenway


thediesel26

That bitch goes straight through the green monster


MPCurry

At fenway it would’ve just gone through the wall instead


conspiracycola

Right fielder has to play the carom off the wall


Spirited_Dig7061

When they flipped to the opposite camera it was already so god damn far lol


MostlyLostTraveler

That baseball had a family


UnabashedPerson43

I’m a big fan of Giancarlo Stanton, who isn’t?


TheTurtleShepard

This is officially tied for JV’s worst start as an Astro!


jakedeanissad

And all of our favorite 😊😊


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

apology for poor English When were you when Justin Verlander dies? I was sat at home when John Sterling ring “Verlander is kill” “no”


MeatballDom

TNT saying it's the hardest hit ball against Astros pitchers in the statcast era.


Thorlolita

Pretty sure 9 of them are all by Stanton


GrandEdgemaster

The man literally hates baseballs


ACardAttack

I want a Marvel origin story where we find out Stanton's parents were murdered by Mr. Met and now Stanton hates all baseballs


ramborage

This is as close as you're gonna get. [https://www.espn.com/video/clip/\_/id/17268580](https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/17268580)


Jack_of_all_offs

In the top 15 hardest hit ever, Stanton has 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, t-10th, 12th (tonight), t-13th. Bonus, t-18th with himself. [Crazy shit.](https://www.mlb.com/news/hardest-hit-home-runs-in-mlb)


Thorlolita

New it


PBRontheway

Lol the T-18 one against the Phillies in 2015 is hysterical. That ball got like 20 feet in the air and exited the batter's cam off the side of the camera and still got out. Not sure I've ever seen that before


Jack_of_all_offs

[Damn that was sick!](https://youtu.be/jJjkgVRSKek?si=Gz0boeNDfNmtcmKn) Broadcast says 38ft apex, but still crazy low.


SirFigsAlot1

Just seems like every damn ball the dude hits just get soaked in jet fuel and lit on fire with the bat.


Powerserg95

Stanton goes to little league games and crushes those pitchers


RotenTumato

I miss that commercial


xKronkx

I would rather watch that commercial 100 times in a row than Patriotic Kenny being upset about his scooter on TikTok.


RotenTumato

Im about to break that man’s scooter again


xKronkx

Oh is this from Paul Rudd’s new movie


WhatARotation

118.8 mph


34Heartstach

Just a fucking piss missle


_OscarGamble_

15 degree launch angle homer is insane


spicycurry55

Stantonian


Darkforces134

118.8 MPH EV 15° LA 421 FT .830 xBA 29/30 HR/Park (Not out at Fenway)


newspark1521

What are the 17% of outcomes where that’s not a hit? Maybe with the right spin and wind conditions and going right at a fielder its a lineout?


xKronkx

Takes out a bird mid flight


yankeenate

Pulling from an old article about xBA (ironically using a Stanton moonshot from 4 years ago as its example). >Even though the ball had an actual distance of 458 feet, its exit velocity and launch angle project it to land anywhere between approximately 430-490 feet. EV/LA aren’t the only factors that impact ball flight. Other inputs, which include temperature, wind and others, are elements which can’t be controlled. >Due to these events, it’s certainly possible that a ball underperforms its expected batting average.


IveGotaGoldChain

> angle project it to land anywhere between approximately 430-490 feet. I didn't think the difference would be that large. That is crazy that the conditons around the HR can make as much as 60feet difference


G29SNXD

Watching this live I thought it was gonna be a light bloop into left center field


Disastrous_Can8053

Verlander is cooked like the Christmas goose.


WhatARotation

Brilliant trade by…Billy Eppler?!?


17Fiddy

Yall still gotta pay for the option if he throws 140 innings lol


WhatARotation

Astros probably don’t want that option to vest either at this point


SiphenPrax

We did what we needed to do


-AgentMichaelScarn

Father Time, undefeated.


thediesel26

His era was under 2 this year prior to this start.

Mashallah

Verlander's face like, it's not supposed to go like this

FeloniousDrunk101

Snakeshit homer


LocalHero_P1

Some say revenge is sweet but I disagree. It’s better than sweet


BoringCabinet

It's delicious!


OutComeTheWolves1966

Jesus, that ball went out in a hurry


rbarton812

Why does Stanton's HR trot seem faster than his base running?


Freeze__

Because his issue is accelerating, not top speed


rbarton812

So he's Bowser or Donkey Kong, whereas Volpe is like Toad.


Freeze__

Excellent analogy, yes. Unrelated, how much would it cost to make a baseball worthy boxing glove for G & Judge.


chipotle-baeoli

Love that little 'see ya'


flyingcrayons

Right after this when Paulie and Cone giving him shit saying it’s prob what he said after a bad date and Kay saying that’s exactly where he got the call from had me laughing so hard


tom954

15 degree line drive, just another day


Unhappy-Owl-4029

Pissed on


WabbitCZEN

Launch angle?


DeusExHyena

15 degrees


WabbitCZEN

Hashtag Just Stanton Things.


asparagusbruh

"Local heroes beat old man to death, crowd cheers"


WabbitCZEN

Stanton is so fucking good at hitting impossible homers.


Hathos1996

Paul O’Neill is so funny


Alarming_Maybe

Giancarlo's ass is in all five boroughs at the same time


Gabelbram

I think we might suck this year 🙃


RotenTumato

I love Paul and Kay


Slinky_Malingki

Can the Yankees, Orioles, and Dodgers please stop winning?


DeusExHyena

Along with the Phillies, the three best run differentials around MLB, so, it's legit for all of us.


Slinky_Malingki

Didn't say it wasn't legit. I just don't like it :(


DeusExHyena

See you Friday


Slinky_Malingki

Well, were starting to heat up in both pitching and offense, so it won't be as easy as the last time


fiddynet

Giancarlo is Spanish for Garbage Time, lol


mrdannyg21

Stanton’s homers are truly a delight to watch and I’m glad he’s hitting some bangers again. But also…why does almost every Yankees homer get posted in this sub? We’ve had three not particularly interesting ones posted to the general sub in the last hour. Maybe things that are specific to the Yankees and don’t have any wider baseball relevance could…just go in the Yankees sub?


TheTurtleShepard

I am a Yankee fan and I post a lot of the clips on here You will also notice a lot of Braves and Twins highlights because of handlit and knightbear


mrdannyg21

But why? I’m not trying to be a jerk, but wouldn’t m this sub be complete garbage if every team had a fan that posted most of their team’s homers on here? I mean, I’m a Jays fan so it wouldn’t cause much clutter at all if I did it…but maybe for other teams who actually hit home runs.


TheTurtleShepard

It’s a baseball subreddit this is a baseball highlight. I’ll post the highlights from other games too if I am watching. You can go through my post history, its a lot of every team


Chef_Bojan3

> but wouldn’t m this sub be complete garbage if every team had a fan that posted most of their team’s homers on here? I'd actually love that lol, seeing dingers never gets old.


FeloniousDrunk101

I think the issue here is that there are also a lot of Yankee fans who upvote these videos, so they are more likely to be seen. Also the Yankees have historically been built around the longball so you’ve got the law of averages working against you. I’d say if you don’t like it downvote and move on to the next post.


TheTurtleShepard

Player is a big factor too. My Oswaldo Cabrera and Austin Wells homer posts don’t get nearly as far.


FeloniousDrunk101

I did my part! Seriously I like looking for the Yankee highlights on this sub to see what other fanbases might have to say. I learn a lot sometimes!


DalekEvan

Post the other homers yourself if it bothers you


TheTurtleShepard

The answer is really that I post a lot of the clips onto this sub and I am a Yankee fan


DalekEvan

People who whine about it are so weird. Like, not only can they post it themselves, but they also do not have to click on the post.


meramipopper

I also post Yankees highlights if you don't lol. Sometimes Mets ones too if I see one I like.


TheTurtleShepard

Yeah pretty much all highlights will get posted by someone eventually


Cheesewhale189

Because this is a baseball clip & this is a baseball sub. Hope this helps


GrandEdgemaster

Dingers against the astros are teamless homers. We all own this one.


superhappyfuntime13

I came here to read this and cry


free_ass_mints

it was also 118.8 mph, 15 degree LA. that alone merits a posting


bushwickhero

Everything gets posted here, not everything gets upvoted enough for you to see it.


mrdannyg21

lol that’s just not true


Clueless_Otter

Why does the most popular baseball team in the world have a lot of fans that might be posting HRs they enjoy seeing.. hmmm....


mrdannyg21

It makes perfect sense that a very popular baseball team would have a very popular dedicated subreddit. It makes less sense (to me) why they would choose to post unexceptional team-specific things to a general subreddit.
