HEY JOEY GALLO! LESS TWEETING, MORE HITTING

I'm sure Joey Gallo is a great guy, but he didn't do too well when he came over to the New York Yankees, and that's is real reason that everyone is getting on him.  

Now look, it's true that making it to the major leagues is a really really hard thing to do. So yelling out "You suck"  from your couch is pretty spineless when you think about it. MLB players are there because they are good... it's the top of the heap.  But as fans you play money to see teams win and players are supposed to perform to the best of their ability. And sadly, when they don't do well, fans lash out.  That's life. No one wants to be mean, fans just are and that's because money is involved. You pay for a service, you want to see greatness every time. But we forget how hard the game is. That being said, players do need to play well, and when they get paid millions... they need to play well a lot.

Now when it comes to superstitions and ballplayers, I need to be honest. I don't care what players do to get in their zone. Do what you need to do. 

Now the media went after Joey Gallo pretty hard this fall, but Joey Gallo isn't the only reason why the Yankees didn't make it past round 1 of the playoffs. He was definitely one of the reasons however. And you all know Bob Klapisch right?  I have tremendous respect for for the guy, but in this case, he's ripping on the wrong thing... Gallo's ritual:

Now look, say what you will about rituals, but that's really not what Joey Gallo's problem was in the Bronx.  His problem was that he was terrible.  And for me as a journalist or writer or blogger... whatever you need to call me, I find his tweet that followed stupid.

Me: Literally gets dressed.

Media: Yup that’s why he sucks. https://t.co/5xaRjecvQf

Here's the thing with Gallo. Instead of sniping media, recognize the flaw.  Instead of attacking some dude with an opinion, recognize that you really didn't do your job in pinstripes and instead you should try and figure that out how to correct it in 2022, because I have news for you... this is New York. We don't like whiners, we like winners and if you can't take the heat of the fans and the media here... you need to go.

As far as Klapisch, he's a good dude, I hate the concept of his article, I found it stupid and I get why Gallo went after him. But in the end it's a provocative opinion... and if Gallo wasn't sucking, this wouldn't be a conversation at all. That's the bottom line.
