i know yuli is having a rough year, but its dumb to give up on last season's batting champ halfway through the next season.
Yes he has. One outlier month doesn't change that. There is not a price low enough to add a .165 hitting K machine to replace any of our current .180 hitting K machines.Farmer1906 said:
Those making the argument that Gallo sucks this year so we shouldn't trade for him are missing the point. Yes, he sucks. He sucks real real bad. But he hasn't always sucked. June of 2021 he hit 10 HRs and 20 doubles. Yuli has 7 HRs and 24 doubles all season long. The point would be to buy him at his very lowest in hopes he could be fixed. Last season he cost 2 top 15 and 2 top 30 prospects. This year he won't. Low risk, high reward. If he sucks then he doesn't make the playoff roster and he moves on.

Yuli was never there for his homers. If he bats .270 he's less than 20 pts off his career average. He'll be fine. He'll deliver. He'll get some clutch hits.
If we were at risk of not making playoffs I would be incline to freakout. There's almost no chance.

Half a season is enough to know he isn't going to hit .300 or have 10 more homers the rest of the way. This team is trying to win a WS and he has like 18 RBI batting 5th for most of the year with like 70 PAs with RISP. He is what the numbers say he is now.

That's b/c I forgot to say that him sucking is the only point that mattersQuote:

Anyway...

If Gallo has always sucked then Yuli has too and we know that isn't true.

I think this is pretty close but I think you'll see Tucker at DH and the young guns only outfield

I was thinking about tbis last night. If we had to use a pitcher for a PH, who's the guy? (On the active roster)Mathguy64 said:
I missed that by one spot. Said a pitcher would DH.

Happy Game day back in Houston. Our favorite Shooting Star has had to fill her time elsewhere while the boys were on the road.

Jose Altuve says he is day-to-day. He said there was a lot of discomfort after getting hit by the pitch in his left leg yesterday. He will not do anything before tonight’s game.

It's pretty unreal that pitchers are still walking Gallo. On the last 129 pitches in the zone he has 4 hits. pic.twitter.com/n2UQdQkPTk

Hard to believe that on a Houston Astros thread, we are discussing whether or not Joey Gallo is worth a damn.
He is not, so let's move on.
