Stanton’s “Arthritis?” Theory, ABS Strike Zone Drama, and NY’s QB Durability Debate

The Stanton “can’t open a bag of chips” saga takes another turn as the conversation shifts from tennis elbow to a scarier possibility: could this be an arthritis-style issue that requires constant warming up just to function? The guys debate what it means for Stanton’s season, why he’s always the first one on the field, and whether the Yankees should treat him like an October-only investment. Then it turns into a baseball nerd fest in the best way: a caller dives into the strike zone math, and the show unpacks the ABS challenge system, why players want it in big moments, why umpires may want it even more, and how it could change in-game strategy. Is “best of both worlds” the right approach, or does full ABS feel inevitable? Plus, the quarterback conversation heats up. A Giants fan calls from Florida to question Jaxson Dart’s durability, sparking a bigger debate about availability, concussions, wear-and-tear, and what young QBs need around them to survive in New York. Stanton’s elbow, ABS chaos, and QB risk all in one stretch of radio.
