Giancarlo Stanton homered because the Guardians didn’t walk him, a breakdown

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Giancarlo is the most Yankee-looking Yankee to ever Yankee

If Babe Ruth found a way to reincarnate himself into new versions of himself he reincarnated into Stanton, Judge, and Soto.

Stanton was 100% chasing early to get people to pitch to him. His eye was infallible all series but magically, he swings at the first two pitches of every at bat? I don't think so. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing.

[@alexrandall3685]

A brilliant breakdown of the batting/pitching strategy. Really interesting for someone not brought up with the game.

[@MikeD_]

Jomboy's analysis today is lightyears beyond where he was a few years back. His videos were always great, but his feel for the game is even better now. Likely comes from watching videos and talking to actual players and managers like Boone that he picks up things he wouldn't have when he first started.

[@donjones4719]

I've been learning about this strategic battle over the last few years but this is the first analysis of a hitter deliberately swinging at a ball to entice the pitcher.

So educational. I'm astonished at NY's willingness to load the bases in the ALCS just to get matchups. Now that's confidence. "Dey got stones."

[@radiculus27]

Because the have a three headed beast in Soto, Stanton and judge. A mistake to any of those 3 can change the dynamic of a game. Say you walk Stanton and jazz comes up. Even if he gets a hit the chances are high that it won’t be a home run or a single or most likely it will be an out. Play the numbers. The Yankees pitchers can take that risk.

[@Wagmiallday]

This is why Jamboy is the best, he gets angry at the Guardians for making bad decisions when he's rooting for the Yankees. That is next level baseball knowledge being a curse.

Hey Jomboy. Carlos from Venezuela here. Another great breakdown as usual

[@ShapedByMusic]

One of the best videos yet

[@josephzepeda7608]

Here after WS Game 1, this breakdown is golden: teams should walk Stanton or he will crush a homer (check), and the Yankees will aggressively load the bases (CHECK). Went a little too far with that strategy when you load the bases for Freddie Freeman!

Nah. There was a video almost a year ago where jomboy said "what's up with my voice? Anyway..." and it's been scratchy ever since. I told him in the comments to get a speech therapist, because he speaks unhealthily and his job is his voice. Jimmy uses his throat muscles to force the vocal cords together instead of using breath pressure and resonance. Lots of people do not speak in a healthy way, but they're not speaking into a mic 10 hours a day every day for years. He's on his way to nodules

With how the skill gap just keeps rising for athletes generation after generation (i.e seeing players from today would absolutely blow the minds of a team from 50 years ago) will we get to a point where every batter in any given lineup is so lethal that walking someone to get a better matchup just becomes a thing of the past? Will there come a time when future pitchers wont be able to make that risk reward calculation anymore?

[@JHulse29]

I don't think so, cause pitchers are also super lethal these days. You can see the level of pitching has also been rising, and so far has exceeded the hitters. Look how many strikeouts there are in a game these days. And all the .250 hitters which used to be considered mediocre

I like that you shfited from Yankees fan to baseball fan in this sequence. Do you think it was an absolute mistake pitch, or was he trying to be cute and put it just on edge of the strike zone and was off?
