He would be hurting us… but that’s not the case.. cuz he isn’t always the last out!!! And people like shit talking Gallo but never mention the clutch stolen bases the athletic plays he makes!

    Is he hurting them? Not in terms of wins and losses. But he takes away at bats from other players who are more deserving. Give the at bats to Andujar. When it comes to the post season, Andujar with more at bats would be significantly more valuable than what Gallo is providing.

    • @doublem718

    Don was incorrect btw. If I was the caller I would've said, "Don, I can't answer your question because i've already given you an answer and I don't know how to make it any clearer. He hurts the team by being a bad hitter. He hurts the team's overall batting avg, slug%, obp, ops+"
    Don's use of the team's record as his only defense is very weak. That's like defending a pitcher based on their W-L record, one of the least indicative stats of a pitcher's actual skill. Yes, the yankees have the best record right now, but the Braves and Red Sox, for example, started the season with shameful records and have since risen to become serious playoff contenders.

These things, Andujar can do. He puts the bat on the ball. I'm tired of seeing Gallo strike out over and over again. Sometimes you just need to make contact to score a run and Gallo can't do that.

Tie game or Yanks up 1 in the 6th inning. Man on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out ...Gallo is going to K on 3 pitches(last one chest high fastball) and we end up not scoring any runs forcing Boone to go to King instead of having breathing room. Happens every night he plays.

    • @TheLockdownKidNYC

      I am noticing lately that there are way too many save situations the bullpen is being forced into after squandering opportunities from lack of sac flies or timely hits. They can't keep playing this "come back from behind" card. Yankees have taxed their bullpen for the better part of a decade and everyone's in denial about it until September and the play offs when once "lights-out" guys fold and Yankees fans are scratching their heads. You think Chapman just forgot how to pitch? The guy's been used for 50+ games pretty much every season. Chad Green was another one who was basically pitching in every game. And lest we forget, Dellin Betances probably epitomizes "worked down to the bone." Career cut short for sure.

    The Yankee management has been reducing Gallo's AB's, for good reason. He has been non-productive as a hitter. Gallo is a Plus defensive player, has a plus arm, and runs bases well, but he can not put bat on ball. He obviously has a decent eye for the strike zone because he walks, or at least used to walk quite frequently, but he is unable to make contact when he does swing. The Yankees have won despite him in the line-up, not because of him, and lets face it Donaldson, Higgie, and Hicks have not hit a ton either. The Yankee record was more a product of their excellent combined pitching rather than their offense. Judge was the major offensive contributor, and he is beginning to drop-off offensively. Trevino had been having a break-out season offensively, but he is beginning to come back to earth, and his BA is dropping with each game now. Stanton has had his share of big hits, but he is a very stray hitter. At least Hicks is hitting better recently. Donaldson K's a lot also, and Hicks is a dead red hitter, struggling mightily with breaking pitches. Andujar is a better contact hitter than Gallo, but he is not a great hitter by any stretch, his OBP is not great either, and his defense although improved, is not comparable to Gallo's. Gallo's BA and OBP have dropped versus his career stats since coming to the Yankees, perhaps he psychologically is better suited for a lower stress environment, where his flaws as a hitter are not scrutinized and put under the microscope. Probably the two worst landing spots for Gallo are NY and Boston. Consider this with Gallo across his career, even during his best seasons, when he managed to hit 38, 40, and 41 HR's, his RBI totals were relatively low, never exceeding 92 RBI's. So, assuming that not all of his HR's were solo shots, he must produce on average of 1.4 - 1.5 runs per home run, meaning that absent the occasional HR, he drives in very few runs for the remainder of his at bats. In 2021, he had 616 plate appearances, hit 38 HR's had 77 rbi's, walked an impressive 111 times, batted .160, meaning that in 616-111-38 AB's (467 AB's), which are his AB's excluding those AB's in which he hit a HR or walked, he managed to drive in only 23 runs in like 3/4 of season of AB's. The same holds true for his most productive seasons where hit hit 41 HR in 2017, with only 80 rbi, and 40 Hr in 2018 with 92 HR. He had between 20-30 RBI for the remainder of his at bats the entire season. So if Gallo does not hit a HR, you get very little production out of him. His HR rate has dropped significantly since joining the Yankees, from 7.7% of his plate appearances in 2017 to 4.16% currently, Therefore, in a high leverage situation with men on base in a close game, with a good opposing pitcher on the mound, the best one could possibly hope for with Gallo at the the plate is a walk, leaving it up to the next batter to succeed or fail. I said it at the time of the trade and repeat myself now. In Stanton and Judge the Yankees have to much redundancy as hitters with high strike-out rates, with judge being the better hitter than Stanton. But both have glaring holes in their swings that quality pitchers routinely exploit. Adding Gallo to a line-up already way to predisposed to striking out, not putting the ball in play, made very little sense and was a terrible move by Cashman.

      You should hit up Jomboy and see if they need any more Yankees guys on the crew. 10/10/10/10 comment.

    Hey Don, he’s hurting the team. Get over yourself. Why do you think everyone except you and your yes man think Gallo is terrible?

    He's an automatic out, and unless he's in right field, he's not getting to balls that gardener did!!! You're a maniac Don

      Idiotic take.. I'm a big gardner fan but gallos arm alone sets him apart from gardner, ppl stay at 3rd or get thrown out with gallo.. with gardner, they scored.. you know I'm right.. gallo just threw someone out at home just the other day.. his bat SUCKS BALLS however his fielding and arm are great!

    The caller is right. It doesn’t matter if the Yankees are 14 games above .500. The guy is batting sub .200. They’re winning IN SPITE of Gallo at that point. The fact that he didn’t drag their record down just proves that. Gallo isn’t contributing to the wins.

    This isn’t an “epic rant” it’s a host making a fool of himself. How he can’t see that Gallo hurts the Yanks makes him seem like an idiot.

    You interrupted the caller multiple times with your big mouth and all you worried about is your ego. It's a very sad day
