Know some in the media and on here think the Astros are better than the Yankees. I just looked at the competition of both teams. Based on today’s standings, the Astros are 14-9 against teams over 500. The Yankees are 24-11 against teams over 500. They have a very easy schedule. Their division sucks. Yes they are very good. However, they haven’t been challenged much this season.

Gallo now to me is like back in the day when you had a good to really good defensive shortstop who couldn’t hit his weight. He played for his D and any O you got was a bonus. Mark Belanger for the O’s for example.

Gallo gives them a really good defensive outfielder and batting him 9th like the old shortstops is good enough for now. If his D slips he better be riding pine.

Corner outfield (and primarily left, though he has played a fair bit of right this year) is definitely where you look to have glove only guys.

I think the Yanks SPs still have the lowest ERA in baseball. Both teams are pretty damn good. Stros batting order is a bit better, I will grant you that.

Yet they outhit the Astro’s.

The game was decided on the two walks Sevy gave up to load the bases for Bregman. He doesn’t lose his control there, and we’re going to the bottom or the 9th up 1-0.

I agree with those saying these are well played games. There’s a fine line between winning and losing between these teams.

section125 : 6/30/2022 9:26 pm : link
and his contract. Gallo, I think will be gone. He simply is lost at the plate and shows no signs of "getting it.". Both are excellent fielders, but offer little at the plate although Donaldson actually runs into a pitch now and then. But you can see his age is catching up. He has to get ahead of the FB and once he commits, if it is a breaking ball, he is dead.

As far as Sevy - he has dominating stuff. I really do not understand dicking around with batters - get ahead and pound the zone. I feel the same way with Cole.

I hate when they lose, but it was a well played game.

It's not that difficult, hard for Cash to admit his mistake.
Eventually, he will get around to it at the deadline.

Sometimes to me, Sevy leaves you wanting just a little bit more. Sometimes he is good, but not quite good enough.

He has given up 3 and 2 runs to the Astros and is 0-2. Both were his own fault. But that is still good pitching. But I know what you mean. There is more there in him. He can be better, and probably should be.

I hated this trade at the time. We sold high on Otto - sure - but Duran was ready to help us in a big way and has upside. I also was excited to see what Smith might do.

If Gallo hadn't wilted it might have been a different story. He clearly can't handle the real lights.

Ha, could be. I just think he is tired a bit. Long stretch with no rest. They all run into a wall a couple times per year. They sat him a day and he hit two bombs the next day.

arcarsenal : 7/1/2022 9:47 am : link
Gallo is a sunk cost. He's got zero confidence and it won't come back here - just need to cut bait and move on. It didn't work out. Most of the time, Cashman does well in trades. This is one that didn't work out.

I still have a smidgeon of hope that Donaldson will pick it up with the bat in the 2nd half. Thankfully, he's been good defensively, but if he continues to struggle at the plate, he shouldn't be guaranteed AB's. DJ/Marwin should simply get more PT @ 3B.

He was never a serious triple crown candidate though, he's never sniffed .300 in a season. I think this is a normal slump that's going to happen to sluggers. Just have to hope he and Stanton don't go cold at the same time. I think it was stantons first year as a Yankee where they did a really good job not going cold together, so hopefully that happens again.

Judge isn't going to hit .300 let alone .340 which is tops in the league right now. He won't come close on hits either.

This isn't a sleight, its just not his game. There hasn't been a triple crown winner in a decade - the last was Miguel Cabrera and he went .330/44/139 and before him like 30/40 years. Judge just isn't sniffing the batting average.

Maybe grab some coffee so you're not so slow on the uptake.

I didn't click on that thread since it happened. Wasn't sure if you were one of the ones defending it or mocking it. Now i know.

I'm on cup 3, caffeine doesn't do shit for me.

Keep trotting Gallo’s .165 bat out there, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

Have you?


The worm will turn with us beating the Astros when we strengthen our lineup and get rid of Gallo. Aug 2nd here we come.
