SURPRISE! AARON BOONE WAS WRONG ABOUT JOEY GALLO


Surprise....only not. That's just sarcasm. Any baseball fan paying attention to anything Joey Gallo does knows that he strikes out A LOT but three weeks ago we said BONEHEAD BOONE IS SAYING STUPID STUFF AGAIN about his struggling hitter and now we can all point and laugh.

Look, we all know Gallo is an all or nothing guy. We are never surprised when he strikes out but that doesn't mean we won't yell at him as if he can hear us. We don't just accept it an we shouldn't. I for one do not embrace mediocrity or excuses, I look for solutions and the Yankees have none when it comes to Gallo.


But remember, Aaron Boone said that "he's in a pretty good spot right now" at the end of spring training. Yeah, a sky high 38.5% strikeout rate is a really good spot. By the way, that's the worst in his career. The Yankees have no REAL solutions for this guy, only over analyzed mumbo jumbo from their analytics department HERE, and we all know how terrible the Yankees are with analytics. New Yankee hitting coach Dillon Lawson is doing such a great job with his "hit strikes hard" philosophy, isn't he? (More sarcasm for you).

Even scouts are saying he's off to a worse than normal start. I don't care if he's seeing fewer fastballs but more sliders. Enough with the excuses and quit trying to sugar coat everything and paint pictures of unicorns and rainbows, but that's what Brian Cashman is also doing. He and his "I don’t want to say there’s a concern. I think you’re gonna see a much better version of him, but that’s not saying much. He hit .190 with us." Yeah, that's a fact. The 'I think you're gonna see a much better version of him' is just a song and dance that no one wants to listen to anymore. And you can't say "he's a threat every time up at the plate" when he's a strikeout king who barely hits his weight. He's a threat alright....but a threat to the Yankee lineup.


I'm tired of the excuses with Gallo. He was benched yesterday for a reason, because he stinks and he's not getting the job done. He doesn't deserve to play and he knows that. The Rangers also know they made a good trade by getting rid of him. Nice move, Cashman....really.

More like terrible move. I'm over trying to "fix" Gallo. The only fix is to admit this was a mistake and to dump him.

  1. Let's just say the home run team Cashman assembled Is not working.He has a dumas manager and after Judge rejected almost a quarter of a billion dollars and other bs about a team leader with no champion's and injuries,I would say it is time for him to move on and go for a more dynamic offense to match our decent pitching.

  2. One hit does not a hitter make! The guy offers no reason for his poor hitting and constant strikeouts other than "Well, that's just the way it is with me! Dump him!
