And I'm sure you guys complain every time Kershaw hits a 400 ft bomb as well right? Lol

I mean, I don't think Gallo is a great option for "need to get a guy in from third and don't want to strike out". I want high contact guys in for that situation.
-
Gotta be honest, I do get pretty mad if I am on the receiving end of it, but no it's not cheese or anything, def not worth messaging and calling people names.

Real baseball?? When's the last time you saw Oswalt or Kluber be used in relief 5 consecutive games in a row? Or Don Sutton hit a HR? Or MLB pitchers be successful throwing high sinkers? This video game ain't real baseball lol.

The Real Baseball situation is to the OP who brought it into the this discussion. I guess you did not read the comments or you are just making a blanket general statement.....

Before last season, Gallo was talking in interviews about how he was training on bunting so he could use it to beat the shift from time to time...he’s tried plenty of times. A squeeze? Not sure. I don’t watch Rangers baseball and I haven’t looked into it...but Gallo has absolutely bunted.

12 times in what 500 plus at bats. Like I said earlier in this thread There is options in how you can pitch so that does not happen. 99 Percent of people playing this game, would not use Gallo to bunt. Just saying.

From April 2018
https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/38922/baseball-therapy-bunt-joey-bunt/
debate erupted. Should Gallo bunt? He’s had one sacrifice bunt in professional baseball, in 2014, at Double-A Frisco. But then, this is the same Gallo who hit 41 home runs last year for the Rangers. Should a guy who’s that much of a power threat really be bunting?
This should solve if you should really bunt but especially Squeeze with Gallo. Talking real baseball.........

Nothing wrong with using a squeeze play. I’ve had it happen against me, I was more mad at myself for not thinking about that and not setting myself up to defend it. You just tip your cap and move on.
