Pete Rose is clearly not a fan of one of the newest Yankees.
After the Bronx Bombers were
bounced in the AL Wild Card game by the Red Sox, the MLB’s all-time hit leader launched into a tirade against the Yankees – which quickly turned into a tirade against trade-deadline acquisition Joey Gallo.
“That was the worst f–king lineup they could have put on the field,” Rose
said to USA Today, per NESN. “Their 6, 7, 8, 9 hitters were all out-men. They had to have (Aaron) Judge and (Giancarlo) Stanton do something. If they didn’t, all of the pressure was on Joey Gallo. You saw how that worked out.
“How does someone who didn’t play every day strike out 213 times? Ray Charles wouldn’t strike out that much. I just can’t imagine striking out 213 times without killing myself.”
