I do think his refusal to change. Saw a interview where the reporter asked what happened to going the other way. His reply was that, he is not here to do that. He said his job was to hit homeruns. So until someone gets thru that thick skull, expect to see more of the same. Batting under the Mendoza line and 200 strikeouts.
If that is his answer then that is a problem. I can live with strikeouts if he could at least hit in the .240-.250 range. He is in love with his strength. As I mentioned earlier the thing that I like from Odor is you can tell he is trying to do things differently.

Batting Average
Odor last 7 - .389 last 14 - .308 last 28 - .295 Is steadily increasing
Gallo last 7 - .071 last 14 - .133 last 28 - .129

Surprising OBP
Odor last 7 - .450 last 14 - .413 last 28 - .371 YTD 2018 - .319
Gallo last 7 - .278 last 14 - .297 last 28 - .289 YTD 2018 - .295

In 100 less Plate Appearances Odor has 4 less base hits than Gallo

Now Gallo walks twice as much as Odor but still it is really hard to be okay with those results from Gallo.
Maz is 23, Gallo and Odor are 24. If they are willing improvements can be made.

He needs to realize that he is here to do more than just hit HRs. Maybe a trip to AA will get that message across.

I agree on sending him down. The only reason he stayed last year, was Beltre was injured.

Gallo was 2nd to Beltre in OPS and 2nd to Mazara in RBIs. He just needs to play better. Find another reason sir

Sounds like your ok with his 209 BA and 196 strikeouts. Looks like his BA and strikeouts are are going to be worse this year. So your ok with not sending him down at all. I think it is absolutely ridiculous when the Rangers are down by more than 1 run late in the game and nobody is on the left side of the infield and he doesn't try to go that way. Instead he's trying to hit a 3 run homer with no one on base.

No I am not ok with him. My views have been seen in previous posts. And yes he has not improved his average or contact rate. Just disagree with your post re last year. He was one of the better players on a below average team. Stats support this. But yes I had hoped he would have a better last year too

Just because I am not on board with much this board knowing absolutely that Gallo is stubborn and arrogant vs that he might be trying to make changes but is just not getting it quickly DOES NOT mean he deserves a free pass.

Quick to pass judgement is not good IMO. This guy is batting 8 in one of the sorriest lineups in baseball. That should speak volumes. Whatever helps AAA or up here I really don’t care. Sure the mgr and GM for it handled

Was hoping to see a replay of the bad hop single. Never showed it. But we saw that guy who caught the HR ball about 15 times.
