CBS Sports | Shanna McCarriston: Joey Gallo’s first taste of Bronx baseball was something out of a Judith Viorst book. That is to say, he had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad [58] day[s]. And the 28 year old slugger believes he knows why. Speaking with Jayson Stark of The Athletic, Gallo blamed elements of the shift for his downturn in form.
“I get the defensive strategies. I do. I am 100 percent not against that… But I think at some point, you have to fix the game a little bit…” Gallo said.
