It’s been rough sledding for New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton since coming off the IL, and fans in the Bronx are letting him know it.

Fans booing their own players at Yankee Stadium isn’t new, and Stanton knows that. His first season in pinstripes didn’t go according to plan, and with high expectations not fulfilled, he heard it from the Yankee faithful.

Fast forward to today where he’s hit .121/.215/.241 with two homers and three RBI over 17 games, Stanton isn’t denying he’s deserving of the boos.

But he’s not dwelling on them. 

"I’ve got work to do," he told NJ.com’s Bob Klapisch. 

"Overall, I have a good mindset, but at the same time (baseball) is what I work at it, it’s what I dedicate myself to. It hasn’t been an enjoyable stretch."

Stanton’s full stat line this season reads .191/.252/.391 with six homers and 14 RBI over 30 games. As has been the case over his career, time spent on the IL has stymied his production.

This time, it was a hamstring strain that landed him on the list and had him out a month and a half.
