"Joey Gallo is hitting 9th in a lineup that is decimated," "Matt Carpenter came off the street 2 days ago and already has 14% of Joey Gallo’s RBIs for the season" - Joey Gallo got bumped into the batting order’s 9th spot, but New York Yankees fans want him off the team

Playing for the New York Yankees comes with pros and cons. Just ask Joey Gallo. He's making loads of money on a one-year contract worth $10,275,000. His days on the Texas Rangers with 40-plus home runs earned the attention of Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who thought Gallo, a left-handed batter, would have no problem hitting 50-plus home runs in Yankee Stadium. It's only 314 feet from home plate to the right field wall there. Gallo should be hitting home runs every day.But that hasn't been the case this season. Gallo is hitting an ugly .168 with just five home runs and seven runs batted in. He's played so poorly that skipper Aaron Boone is relegating him to the bottom of the New York Yankees batting order this afternoon.Here's how Twitter reacted to his batting-order demotion.Joey Gallo got bumped into the batting order’s 9th spot, but New York Yankees fans want him off the teamNew York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo has only 7 RBIs this seasonThe Twitter insults against Gallo were as well-researched as they were cutting. This user asked his fellow fans to rewind to when the Yankees acquired Joey Gallo, and imagine that, in a year, he would be hitting behind a player like Matt Carpenter. It would've been inconceivable.Gabe@PlayoffTanaka_Right after Joey Gallo was traded to the Yankees, what would you have said if I told you it gets so bad with Gallo that Matt Carpenter, Kiner-Falefa, and Jose Trevino will all be hitting above him in a lineup96223Right after Joey Gallo was traded to the Yankees, what would you have said if I told you it gets so bad with Gallo that Matt Carpenter, Kiner-Falefa, and Jose Trevino will all be hitting above him in a lineup&quot;Right after Joey Gallo was traded to the Yankees, what would you have said if I told you it gets so bad with Gallo that Matt Carpenter, Kiner-Falefa, and Jose Trevino will all be hitting above him in a lineup&quot; - @GabeAs this fan points out, Aaron Boone clearly doesn't trust Gallo's bat right now.Fireside Yankees@FiresideYankeesJoey Gallo batting 9th is a clear indication that don't trust him in the middle of the order now -- thank goodness we are seeing the Yankees come to their senses #NYY282Joey Gallo batting 9th is a clear indication that don't trust him in the middle of the order now -- thank goodness we are seeing the Yankees come to their senses #NYY&quot;Joey Gallo batting 9th is a clear indication that don't trust him in the middle of the order now -- thank goodness we are seeing the Yankees come to their senses #NYY&quot; - @Fireside YankeesThe season Cashman traded for Gallo, he had a 139 wRC+ in 95 games. Ever since then, Gallo has played 96 games for the New York Yankees and has accumulated just an 89 wRC+.
