Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton Posts Bizarre Tweet Comparing Hitting to Being in Quarantine Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

The MLB has been put on ice over the last few weeks due to the spread of the coronavirus, meaning that Opening Day has come and gone without a single regular season at-bat taken.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, like most other MLB players, is struggling to figure out what to do with himself now that the game he loves most is suspended indefinitely. He has since adopted free verse poetry, apparently, as he posted a weird tweet comparing hitting to being in quarantine.

Most people just complain that they've already run out of things to watch on Netflix, but Stanton is out here giving us a lesson in linguistics.

Stanton might have been solid in his first year as a Yankee, but injuries limited him to just a handful of games in Year 2. While he did recover from an injury that was supposed to keep him injured for the first few games of the 2020 season, the league's suspension has prevented Stanton from starting his grand comeback tour.

Stanton's hopeful resurgent 2020 will have to wait until the spread of the virus dissipates.

We're hoping the virus is nipped in the bud as soon as possible, both to get baseball back and to save us from any more of Stanton's slam poetry.
