WORST. YANKEE. EVER.

I'm done with Joey Gallo. He's either trying too hard or just not good. I go with the latter. I've watched for the past 5 to 10 years on a high school to college level when it comes to recruiting players and what the projectors look for in young athletes. They look for big bodies that hit home runs.  They look for high velo numbers of the ball coming off the bat. And there is no question they looked at that when they considered Joey Gallo.  If the player can make the adjustment in the Bigs, the scouts look like geniuses. If the player doesn't, those scouts disappear, and the player is stuck looking like the worst player ever. And that's the case of Joey Gallo.  He has never adjusted, never adapted and cannot play this game when it comes to standing in the batter's box. Quite simply, your exit velo could be 150, but if you can't connect the ball to the bat, what does that matter? You still need skill to hit it and this guy doesn't have that. 

Study his numbers. I mean, there's not much to study, but look at them on baseball-reference. This guy can't hit. And if he does, it's not skill as much as luck when he does.  I hate to sound like a jerk. But this is the direction we're going in folks. Big bodies. If an organization can harness the good in that big body, they have a successful ballplayer for a bit. But in Gallo's case, he's not wowing anyone.

"We want Gardner" chants have filled Yankee stadium recently. WFAN writes:

"Joey Gallo has become incredibly frustrating to watch for Yankee fans, as his brutal slump continued on Friday night with two more strikeouts on another hitless evening.

Gallo’s struggles have become so maddening for some fans, that they apparently would rather see a 38-year-old Brett Gardner in left field. Twitter came alive late in Friday’s 4-1 win over the Guardians when multiple people pointed out hearing Yankee fans chanting “We want Gardner,” urging the Yanks to bring back the previously longest-tenured Yankee, who is reportedly staying in shape and preparing to sign on with a team at some point this season."

Why did the chants happen? Because when push comes to shove, it doesn't matter the size. It comes down to productivity. Gardy got shit done. Gallo doesn't.

18 strikeouts in 41 at bats. An on base percentage of .234. No homers, no RBIs. Bench this bum.

What's gonna happen Yanks? How are we gonna turn this around?  I know a way... get rid of Gallo.
