Sean Gallagher...really bad hitter

PrintI 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 :)

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.
were just spoiled
because we have a good hitting pitching staff
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…

They can hit
They’re just not expected to unless you have someone like Micah Owings or, in our case, Z and occasionally Marquis.

gallagher
still not sold on sean.he seems to last about 4 innings before the other team figures him out. we,ll see today if im wrong.would be nice if he steps up like dempster
I think that'll get better
as he learns to adjust to the hitters the second (and hopefully third) time through the order. Change speeds, location, pitch selection, etc. Almost all pitchers have to learn this when the come up to the bigs.
We have other
players who can make up for his lack of production at the plate if he can pitch like we need him to.
But he can lay down a bunt
Which is what I expect from most starting pitchers
Rich Hill can’t hit OR lay down a bunt

Didn't gallagher lead the can't get down a sac bunt party his last start?

But how successful is he at sacrifices?
