did we lose Fat Bib?
Needs 16 more with 5 games to go. Would be an impressive feat if he gets there at this point.
4 hat tricks and a golden sombrero. If anyone can do it, its The Rooster.hawk1689 said:

Boone sat him 3 times in the last couple of weeks. If he had those games back he would have had a fighting chance.
I guess keeping up with Gallo's strikeouts just got de-prioritized for someone.
I wonder if Gallo's strikeout count is higher than the number of nude pics of underage girls Fit Bob got by impersonating Trent Hunter?

This whole thing is so ****ing wierd.
Was there any proof of that posted? I've seen that thrown out there a bunch but didn't see the original thread.DannyDuberstein said:

The record was dug up and people also saw that he was required to register as a sex offender. You can look his record up at any time id imagine.
I don't know his actual name so I couldn't. Regardless it is Very unfortunate.
Yea, I wasn't referring to you specifically. The royal you.
Everyone has skeletons in their closet. Some bigger with more bones and some smaller. It's an anonymous board and we all think/expect that provides some measure of anonymity and privacy. I don't work hard to hide mine. Others value theirs. I get it.
If (and that's a big if) that story was true he paid his debt to society and is welcome to his privacy going forward. It's sad that he no longer has that privacy. Lord knows I did dumb things growing up.
If it's not true then it's really a horrible stigma that he should not bear.
Either way it's sad.

The story is true and it appears he was 36 at that time so I'm not sure youthful ignorance applies. Not siding one way or the other on the topic and backlash, just providing some additional details.
Back to our regularly scheduled program.
Our lovable poster child for the true outcomes has started 0-1 tonigjt. He's officially below the Mendoza line at .199 and hanging comfortably at 208k's
We have diverged.

Forgive all you want, but kiddie pervs don't get well. They just suppress the urge that's always there and sometimes fail. Kind of like Gallo tries to suppress the urge to strike out
Backwards K for you know who. 209 and only hanging at .199 by the grace of math and rounding.
Joey with a HBP. That's one way to not make an out and make it worse.
Oh my. Boone took Gallo out in the top of the 9th down a run. Enter Gary Sanchez (.209 hitting and can't catch Gary Sanchez) to pinch hit for Joey. And in true brotherly love, Sanchez struck out. Hell Joey could have done that Aaron.
That's gonna leave a mark
That's gonna leave a mark
Joey is done for the night. He's at 209 K's. That's now put him all alone in 8th place.
Next up is a tie for 6th at 211 with his teammate Stanton and Mark Reynolds.
5th place is Chris Carter all alone at 212. No one less than than the waste of a roster spot Houston Astros Chris Carter
4th is a jump to 217 and Yoan Moncada.
3rd place is 219 and the poster child for three true outcomes, Chris Davis.
4 games to go. If Boone doesn't get cold feet and bench him, Joey has a chance at posting a number close to 215 or 216. If he had not been sat for 3 games he would have had a chance at 220.

I'm going to take the Fat Bib news today as proof that Joey Gallo reads this thread and isn't a fan.

All those socks doxing him were Aaron Boone, confirmed.
Not to be lost in Joeyball, Matt Chapman is also a proud member of the 200 K club. He went 0-4 with 2 whiffs last night and sits at 201 for the year. Welcome to the club Matt!
Interesting article from Fangraphs on why Joey is actually a valuable player.

A little more on our posterchild. Joey is one efficient SOB. He's doing this way faster than everyone not named Chris "waste of good money" Carter. Consider the top 11.
1. Mark Reynolds 223 K, 662 PA
2. Adam Dunn 222 K, 649 PA
3. Chris Davis 219 K, 665 PA
4. Yoan Moncada 217 K's 650 PA
So clearly history requires you to put your time in. 650+ PA's means your manager (not you Aaron Boone) has to keep trotting you out there every day. My beloved Lizard Dusty Baker wouldn't think of letting a player do this. Days off matter damnit!
Sitting at #5, the aforementioned Chris Carter at 212 K's and a measly 585 PA. That my friends is efficient. Prorated out to 650 PA's it makes 235.5 K's. It would shatter the record. But Bo Porter was managing a 51-111 team and no one was allowed any personal glory on that dog **** laden abomination of a baseball team.
Back to the list...
6. (tie) Mark Reynolds 211 K, 596 PA and Giancarlo Stanton 211 K, 705 PA.
Reynolds was just showing off, showing he goes both ways. But Gio? Now thats putting in your time. In 2018 Gio didnt shy away from getting every hack in he could, which is strange because the Gio of today breaks when you look at him. Steroids can do that. It was also his first year on the big Yankees contract so he had to mark his territory.
Now for our boy Joey at #8. He sits at 209 K's as of last night on a frugal 605 PA. Prorated out to 650 PA's he cracks that nut at 224.5 K's. Aaron Boone, let that big dog hunt.
Just below...
9. (tie) Chris Davis and Aaron Judge at 208 K's Davis took 670 PA's and Judge 678, once again proving time on task provides results.
To round out the list, our boy sits all alone in the 11 hole.
11. Jo Jo Gallo 207 K, 577 PA. Those 577 PA's are the low bar for the list until you get down to the dude in 22nd, who is none other than Joey Gallo at 196 K's and 532 PA.
Efficiency should be praised. Mr. Gallo doesnt mess around here.

He was outed as single-season strikeout king Mark Reynolds
That he impersonated two former HS football players, one actually an A&M player at the time, in order to catfish girls between the ages of 16 and 40 and persuade them to send provocative pictures.
Nude photos of themselves. Let's not sugarcoat or whitewash it. He posed as different people to get naked photos of women for his own sexual gratification.
One was Trent Hunter, and it nearly cost Trent getting kicked off the team because they initially thought it was him instead of some 36 year old at the time, goofy looking white perv (aka the OP) impersonating him

Who did? Fat Bib Fortuna??
Yes
That was the allegation. There are threads on GB and EB that fill in details.TarponChaser said:03_Aggie said:

And before anyone decides to flame me for "allegations", I get it. There was lots of smoke over the identity and certainly the actual story was real. But its still in theory an anonymous board. Who knows who is actually posting under a given account.
Well, besides that slimeball shyster Jorts
