Joey's still fighting it at the plate. Friggin' ball keeps hitting the bat! Two pop outs and a grounder so far tonight, overlooked by the rest of the world outside of Club Donkey considering Gerrit Cole had 15 strikeouts in 7 innings.

Gallo has got that average down to .201, another 0 fer or 2 and we're going to drop below the Mendoza line.

Joey's final August #s

96 AB
15 H
5 HR
11 RBI
23 BB
48 K

.156 BA
.500 KA
.319 OBP
.375 SLG

In the last 15 days, he is 4 for 42 for an average of .095, a "slugging" percentage of .214, and a Whiff Rate of .47.6%.

New York has done the impossible. It has brought out the historically bad player living in King Donkey's already terrible ballplayer body.

He's making Stanton feel a little better about himself at least to the extent they're being Judged.

Deep Thoughts with Fat Bib Fortuna:

All-time Survivor smokeshow Parvati Shallow (pictured below, you're welcome) has filed for for divorce from her husband, which could allow her to get married to our main man, at which point her name could be Parvati Shallow-Gallo.

I really don't have a lot of interest in Joey Gallo's K rate, but I keep coming back for Fat Bib's commentary.

I heard from an inside source that Gallo is visiting the Children's Hospital in New York, and this is word for word a conversation he had with one of the kids:

Gallo: Hey kid. I heard you've got the Corona. What can I do to help you out?

Kid: Well, you could get me some ivermectin.

Gallo: Kid. I'm the Big Donkey, not the Big Horse. How about if I hit you a home run tonight? Will you get up and walk out of here if I hit you a home run?

Kid: Actually, I feel fine.

Gallo: Look kid, you don't have to try and act tough with me. I'll hit you two home runs tonight. Will that you get out of this hospital?

Kid: Seriously, I'm only here because the girl who sits next to me in class tested positive, so I've got to get a test before they let me back into school.

Gallo: Hey, you're twisting my arm pretty hard here kid, but let's say I hit you three home runs?

Kid: Well, statistically speaking, you really don't have to do anything. It's extremely unlikely anything will happen to me.

Gallo: Fine. Four home runs. I've never done it before, but if you get up out of that chair and walk out those doors, I'll hit you four home runs!

Kid: You can strike out for all I care. Just leave me alone.

Gallo: A strike out, huh? Yeah, I think I can manage that. If I can strike out tonight, you've got to get up and get out of this hospital.

Kid: Whatever...

Gallo: All right, you've got a deal. Now, I'm gonna go bang this nurse over in the on-call room.

Kid: Yeah, well, my mom's here now, so I'm gonna go...

Kid's Mom: Just hang here a minute Timmy, I want to go speak with that nurse over there by the on-call room...

I guess we'll find out tonight if Joey really cares about the kids or not.

To this day - for his career - ONE sacrifice fly. ONE. In 2,306 plate appearances.

Aaron Boone is finally taking his job seriously. King Donkey moved up to 2nd in the batting order to get more chances to strike out.

Two strikeouts in his first three plate appearances tonight. Worst team in human history baffling King Donkey!

Now a hat trick for Big Rooster! And the game just went to the top of the 11th, nothing is more exciting in sports right now than the Baltimore Orioles in extra innings.

Not only whiffed 3 times but he's down to .199. He could easily exceed his batting average in the next 2 weeks.

15 for 112 as a Yankee (.134) with 54 strikeouts in 31 games.

At that pace, his season would be:

585 at-bats
78 hits
282 strikeouts

Man he'd be walking the last lap on his way to the record right now if he hadn't screwed up so badly in June making contact and such.

Here's another bit to think about when it comes to the special magnificence of Herr Gallo.

He started the season ranked 804th all-time in strikeouts.
Today, he's 506th.

He only needs 2 more to break into the top 500 of all time.

So the Rangers absolutely robbed the Yankees? Even if they just got a jumbo tub of cheese puffs?

One strikeout today, and an actual home run! Joey's up to 180 on the year (whiffs that is) He's up 10 strikeouts on Chapman, no one else is within 15 of the guy. It's been a struggle, but it looks like he's headed down the stretch with the lead firmly in hand. 20 whiffs to go to 200!

I take the day off to go to the water park and the Big Donkey says "I never take a day off."

With 4 whiffs today his pace is back up to 220, 3 short of the record.

The Yankees have 25 games to play - Joey is 37 strikeouts short of Mark Reynolds' record, and 36 short of Adam Dunn's AL record.

He's had 151 PAs for the Bronx Bombers. It's now 61 K's in 123 ABs. He's been remarkably consistent in striking out at that 50% clip. In his time in pinstripes he's at .130/.291/.325 and a WAR of 0.0. Fortunately for the Yankees he has a cost of $0.00.

The most shocking thing to me about that is that his WAR isn't negative.

Eugenio Suarez has now accumulated enough at bats to qualify for the batting title; however, he has raised his average to .173 by hitting a robust .267 over the past 7 games.

A 2-26 run will tie him with Chris Davis exactly. An 0-15 run will give him the lead by percentage points.

Dusty Baker would bench Dimaggio then have him pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth of a 12-0 game.

Gallo sits, Yankees lose.




I think the problem is that Gerrit Cole doesn't like how much bigger a star Joey Gallo is than him.
