My dad likes to say, “Not everyone can play in New York.” Playing in this town, especially for the Yankees, is a lot of pressure and sometimes higher-than-realistic expectations from fans and coaches to be great. And if you can’t handle it, you will buckle, and fall into a slump. we saw that with Sonny Gray when he pitched for them. I believe that if Gallo gets traded, he will do exceptionally well for his new team.

So everyone who fails in New York is automatically labeled that he couldn't handle the pressure in New York? Sounds too convenient to me. But that's the narrative, right?

[@jamesscarano7843]

I was at Tropicana field last year when it was announced the Yankees had acquired Joey Gallo. Several fans in the stands had already started talking about it having read the news on their phones, and there was much chatter. The roar from the (mostly) Yankee fans in the stands when they put it up on the screen confused me. I had just moved to Tampa from Texas, where all the Ranger fans I knew believed it was "Joey Hit Ball" or "Joey Strike Out". I couldn't understand why everyone was happy to get this guy.

[@jaxonrodriguez5998]

I was literally waiting for a video to watch thank you

[@YankeesHighlights]

Awesome video

[@ryanschatzberg4651]

People forget the situation when the Yankees traded for him last year. They were playing .500 ball and literally didn’t have a lefty bat in their lineup other than the switch hitters. They were in panic mode and couldn’t risk alienating their fan base by giving up on the year and selling. So they got 2 lefty bats in Rizzo and Gallo, and in Gallo’s case, the Rangers continued paying his 2021 salary. So trading for Gallo made perfect sense, and Yankee fans knew damn well what they were getting into and were fine with it at the time. What Yankee fans (and front office) weren’t expecting was his lack of incentive to make adjustments and improve as a hitter in 2022, If you look Aaron Hicks, who had an equally poor start to the season, at least he’s looking to improve and since June he’s played pretty decent. It honestly saved his job for now. For Gallo to only have 37 hits on July 28th when his teammate has 38 home runs is just an indictment of who he is as a baseball player and a teammate. He just has a flippant way of doing nothing to help the Yankees win, even in the field. That’s what infuriates the fans the most. There’s really no excuse for his performance this season. As a Yankee fan here, I say good riddance. The sooner he’s out of the Bronx the better it is for all parties involved. EDIT: 39 home runs for Aaron Judge after the walk off last night. Aaron Judge I fucking love you. Cash you better pay the man!!!!

[@KTF0]

100%. Big red flag during Spring Training when I heard him say "I am the hitter I am" If Aaron Judge had that same approach as his rookie year he'd be in the same boat as Gallo. He has the same approach every at bat. You'd think once in his head he'd think "maybe I should slap this ball to get out of my slump" Nope same approach. Runner on third? Same approach. Pitchers throwing high strikes cuz I can't hit it? Same approach. He has been given every chance to the point that I'm thinking he has Epstein-level information about the Steinbrenners to be failing to this level.

[@ryanschatzberg4651]

@@KTF0 when you mention the runner on third, the video of Mike Trout reacting to him only having 2 sac flies in his career is so telling considering they played 19x a year when he was in Texas. Not only that, but I heard this stat from a SNB crew a couple years ago that when you bunt against the shift your BA goes up by 70 points ON AVERAGE. I don’t remember the exact moment but I remember one of his 37 hits was a bunt against the shift and he had the biggest grin standing on first base. You’d think he would go back to that but nope. The MLB banned the shift for 2023 and removed any of Gallo’s incentive to improve as an externality. To his credit though, I read his comments in the press this morning and it sounds like he understands how badly he screwed this up and how heavily it’s going to weigh on him. I can only hope he regains some of his form wherever he plays next and move on.

The whole approach to hitting needs to change in the MLB or you're going to start seeing WAY MORE of these stories. Guaranteed. Ted Williams would cry if he saw what hitting in baseball has become. Hit the ball harder than everyone else is literally the approach now. How about putting the bat on the ball first.....

[@unkledoda420]

I can't believe how many everyday players have batting averages hovering near or below the Mendoza line over the past several years. Used to be guys like that weren't in the majors very long if they continued to hit that poorly. It really is sad how almost every hitter just swings for the fences but many can't hit over .240 to save their life and near every pitcher tries to throw in the upper 90's on every pitch but if starters pitch anywhere near 200 innings in a season or relievers pitch more than an inning per outing their arms fall off. All anyone cares about is homeruns and strikeouts. The game has lost a level of excitement that was there not even 10 years ago. At least the game is always changing so in another decade or so things will be different, maybe better, maybe worse, but different nonetheless.

You should look up "Joey Gallo bunting" on the 'net. He's been working on beating the ridiculously exaggerated defensive shifts since late in his Rangers stint, but one video's headline indicates he's "begrudgingly bunting." That would be a shame because, as you can see, he's very good at it; after all, it's the easiest way to make bat-on-ball contact. One wonders if Yankees management was actually more begrudging than Gallo. If so, this partnership never had a chance. If not, Gallo's career could be at a crossroads when/if MLB bans infield shifts in 2023.

Yankees trade happens and throws him through a mental loop and screws up everything at that moment and becomes the most hated man in NY, even saying in interviews that he doesn't even leave his home to go anywhere.

[@MikeHart72]

Yeah I know right. This is a full time MLB player who has managed only 100 hits in a season once…100 !!!!!! How is it possible anyone thought he was a good hitter

[@MikeHart72]

@@BadMoonRising92 Even though your comment shows just how bad Gallo has been his entire career I have to correct you….he is even worse than you said Gallo has managed to hit above .209 for a season only once…..that’s it only once, not the 2 times you said.

[@dillonpruitt8920]

I'm glad that double agent Joey Gallo might find his way back home to Texas. I was heartbroken to see him go but the prospects we have gotten are doing fairly well for us. I hope he can go somewhere where he can find his stride.

[@versatilelord8893]

I do hope we comes back here in Dallas And returns to form with our rangers again

[@eastonhouse5941]

@@versatilelord8893 mark my words if he returns to his home he will return to form he never once as a Ranger got bood that I can think off his home is here in Arlington bring him back

[@jonathanmeyer3428]

Don’t get used to Matt carpenter hitting like babe Ruth. I’m a cardinals fan and he did that same flash of greatness from time to time followed by a lot of disappointment

[@dylanortiz932]

It’s time for a change of scenery. I think he can be good. It just looks like NY was never a good fit

[@romiarkan450]

Now can we also get the MLB to scrap the shift ban now that Gallo is no longer be playing for a big market team?

[@KidFresh71]

Would love for Gallo to come to SF and rediscover his game. A potentially great “buy low” free agent candidate.

[@paulpinball9952]

Every time I see one of the Giants attempt to bunt, it's obvious that they just don't know how to, e.g. gripping the bat, fingers exposed near the sweet spot; unable to make ANY contact. Funny thing is, Joey Gallo can actually bunt. Maybe Gabe Kapler could check out some video (it's here on YT) and make a recommendation to his boss.

[@gm2723]

Part of Gallo's problem as a Yankee is that he sucks at the plate, but is dangerous. So when he played with other shitter teams were more careful with him, but in newyork the mindset is to go after him, exposing that he isn't really that good.

[@robertschumann7737]

Gallo is not a failed experiment because of anything he has done. He came over to his favorite childhood team and tried to hard at first. He was doomed to fail when Boone with his awful lineup construction put him in the #9 spot. Of course pitchers are going to pitch around a serious power threat when he hits between IKF and DJL. Put Rizzo in that situation and you will see the same thing. Put Gallo between Judge and Stanton and you will see his bat light up opposing pitchers again.

[@DavidRodriguez-ub2dp]

Now he’s with the dodgers and he’s kicking ass… showing off his defensive skills as well… glad the dodger gave him a chance … let’s go blue!

[@enriquemorin5569]

Some players don't make it in NY, a big town

[@masqerader]

Weird to see a LHH with power not able to hit home runs in a little league park

[@tomy5868]

Carpenter now has a little league fence in right field.

[@adamcarter6862]

A.L. East is the best of the best and playing in New York adds to the pressure to preform.

[@James-qq2vq]

Actually they're offense hasn't really been the same since they all star break. Only judge has continued to stay hot.

[@fliplife67]

Some time I wonder the idea of a lefty power hitter hitting in Yankees stadium is just hype.

[@sococomfort22s34]

The players are hyped bc of the dimensions of Yankee Stadium. It has far more to do with the stadium than the player most of time.

[@armageddonsports6196]

I notice that whenever a star player goes to the Yankees it’s either boom or bust with no in between.

[@spamrice9914]

The mafia has him shook. The Gallo brothers are pissed! The Lucchesi family invested some money on him. Bad bets!!!

[@MagicM1KE420]

Gallo is the modern day Rob Deer and Pete Incaviglia

[@discodan1592]

some players cant handle playing in the ny ...to much pressure....the big city is not for everyone

[@bradreed8938]

I’m a rangers fan, it hurt me to get rid of Joey but seeing how he’s done it new york we got a good deal for him. I’d love to get him back

[@Danielson1818]

Damn. Judge has more Homers than Gallow has hits. That is rough.

[@jvstice56]

Sonny Gray comes to mind as "not able to play in the Bronx" and he's doing phenomenal away from New York. Gallo's another one. His glove is good, his plate discipline is decent, but he's a literal Babe Ruth: either hits a home run or strikes out. Hopefully whatever team Gallo ends up going to will be the worthwhile change in scenery. Not everyone looks good in the Pinstripes, and sadly Gallo is among them. He's actually better against the Yankees than as one. I wish him the best of luck in his career.
