If he stays on the roster, the question isn't if he breaks the record, but if he does it by the all-star break...

Crow!!!  Crow Joey!!!!  Make'm eat Crow.  LOL.

That's what I'm talking about.  LOL.

the timing of this article and Gallo finally remembering you have to hit the ball for it go over the fence is fantastic

Thru Game 3:  +33

Such a fine line, really. Too much K'ing and the BA/OBP can't compensate for the HR's.

The thing that makes Gallo a bit different (in his 'good' years) is that his OBP only goes so low because of his ability to get BB's.

We'll see. But, just like Sano (in Sano's 'better' years)...that kind of power, when it shows up, can win games all by itself.

I will not worry about strikeouts if Gallo ends up being a true 3 outcome player this year...

Not at all worried about Gallo adding value to this team.  I worry about how much crow to serve out.

Pow, serving up some more crow today, in Miami.

Thru Game 4:  -19

Thru Game 5:  +11

Gallo hasn't struck out in a week.

Buxton doing his best Gallo/Sano impersonation at the moment.  He might outpace them all, except he will only play in about 80 games, so record is safe with him.  Larnach on other hand, he might make Gallo look really good

So many to choose from. Full-season projection after first 15 games...

Larnach: 238

Taylor: 227

Buxton: 227

Buxton is on fire!  He went 10 for 12 in last four games this week. And we were worried that he needed more rest by only be a DH vs actually playing defense.  Getting plenty of walking from home plate back to the dugout this week.  He shouldn't be getting an off days as he is getting plenty of reps.

He is also going to have to pick up the pace a bit, if that is even possible.  In 87 games this year he has 121 K.  That's 1.39 K/GP.  At that pace, he will need to play 52.5 games to break the record.  We have 50 left.  I'd say he has a better shot of being DFAd tonight than he has of playing even 40 of the remaining games.

only 5 minutes left in tonight so I think that one's gonna come up short.  Plus we've won 4 out of 5 so I don't see them rocking the boat anytime too soon.

He has 121 Ks, if he plays all 50 of the remaining, he’ll whiff 1.39x50=69 more times which would be 190 times on the season. Not his personal record, but more than Sano’s 178 in 2016.

He has played in 80% of the team’s games, if that trend continues, he might come up a few Ks short.

190 strikeouts. I know you shouldn't do math on TD, but does that come out to $57,894 per strikeout?

Cheaper by the dozen I guess.

Bad math on my part.  183 is the record (Sano topped his 2016 total in 2021), but I did 183-121 and came up with 72 -  oops.  So he needs 62 to tie, plus one to break it.  63/1.39 = 45.3 games to break it.  THERE IS STILL A CHANCE!!  

(They didn't DFA him last night, did they?)
