Sean Gallagher...really bad hitter

by jeff_pico on May 31, 2008 11:19 PM CDT Comment 18 comments

I was looking through Gallagher's statistics on Baseball Reference and saw that he only has 1 career hit in 58 proffessional at bats...a single with Double A Tennessee last year. He's struck out 36 times in those 58 at bats. Let's hope he has a great pitching game Sunday against the Rockies :)

As long as he pitches well

and can put down a decent bunt when asked, he’s fine with me.

And your point is?

Most pitchers are crappy hitters. As long as he can shut down the Rockies with his pitching, who cares?

How about just touching home more often

Do we play Rockies AAA team? If so, a lot of these players might know Gallagher more than we realize.

Can't sleep either, eh?

Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.

Just thought it was interesting

I think 1 for 58 is a little worse than the average bad hitter…maybe I’m easily amused.

We are very spoiled...

Zambrano is one of the best hitting pitchers in the game. He takes it very seriously also. What other pitcher do you know that is unhappy with three homers in a season and promises more?

They don't?

Since when?

technically, SDSJM is right

they don’t have to hit. All they have to do is stand in the batter’s box when it’s their turn. Of course, not everyone can be Eddie Gaedel though, so it would behoove them to be able to do something with the bat on occasion…
