Joey Gallo has 60 home runs in 168 professional baseball games. HOLY SHIT.

Today's game is very important. The A's are charging hard and we are facing another minor league caliber pitcher. The twins are going nowhere, lost 5 straight before coming here, but if we lose again today they will be fired up and go for the sweep. Oakland will be aware of our struggle because they play later than us and they are trying to close the gap. The Oakland series will be very tough, we can't afford to lose anymore ground before going in there.

:agree: Oakland has the advantage if you lose today. We beat their ace yesterday.

Figured something was strange...how could you be a fan of both the Angels and A's ...like being a fan of the Celtics and Lakers, or Cowboys and Redskins.....or worst of all...Falcons and Saints!!

I'm gonna assume most if not all of you guys came over from the FB Empire. I know while there, there were several - Rally Monkey the worst - were trollers of trollers. I decided to just ignore him, because anything other than this was playing right into his wheel house. Just a thought, and don't know if it works or not.

If you go to that thread one of our posters is being accused of being the troll in question. They are sharing the same IP addy.

Just read. Hard to believe, very hard. And sad if true. Yes, also in shock.

Gallo is setting records. Davis never showed that kind of pop before he was 20. Most players don't. Gallo has special special power.

:agree: Best case, he's still probably 2 years away. Nothing wrong with that. But his contact (.230ish BA) and SO ratio (35%) has got to improve. In late July, which is the last time I looked at him, he had something like 70 hits and 26 of them left the yard. That's truly amazing power.

No doubt. I am excited for him to get better at making contact. I don't expect him to be a hall of famer or anything, but he will add some nice pop at corner IF spot where it's a premium.

Umm he's probably more like 4 years away. 3 at best.
