Yea the Wikipedia version was my understanding. Good 'ol team mates. In Mendoza's case, his glove kept him in the lineup. In Gallo's case, it's the long ball. So the Gallo line is for guys who stay in lineup despite hitting below .200 because they hit a lot of home runs. All you need now is an MLB player to help make it popular. The Zimmer line is for pinch runners and defensive replacements lol.
Does anyone remember Dave Kingman, he was an impressive specimen. He either hit a home run or struck out.
TBH, I feel sorry for the guy. He had such a horrible year, it must be tough to not only face your teammates but to feel that you are part of the team. Not only did he go 0-4 in one of the games with 4 strikeouts, he amateurishly bobbled the ball in the outfield not once, but twice on the same play allowing the runner to take another base.
The Houston Astros of course………….. and their rookie ball affiliate of the Florida Complex league. Lol. I don’t know how he was drafted in the first round. He’s just one of those guys who doesn’t know how to adjust to mlb pitching and the scouting report on him. Sad when you see such a big prospect not able to conquer that final step.
I recall some of them being mammoth home runs.
Jared Kelenic belongs in the 'biggest busts' thread; .168 career batting average in 500 at-bats, .141 in 163 this year. Marginally above one strikeout every three at-bats, career. He was a top ten Major League prospect when he moved from the Mets in the Edwin Diaz-Robinson Cano trade, and he's starting for the Mariners. Maybe he has a photograph of the team owner in bed with a goat. Next stop...the Japanese league, or possibly the Italian, if he does any worse.
I'm not a fan either. They wear red on Canada Day and mostly when Berrios is starting, so unlikely today. I don't like the powder blue either. The dark blue is my fave, followed by white and grey.

Considering that Berrios had always been more consistent than Ray throughout their careers it is no surprise that the Jays did what they did. Last year's Ray and this year's Berrios were both very different from what they'd previously done. Pretty much, outliers.
