Yankees: Joey Gallo’s NSFW quote about playing beside Judge and Stanton rules

Suffice to say that Joey Gallo loves playing in the Yankees outfield regardless of personnel, but he loves it just a little bit more when he winds up next to Brett Gardner and Jonathan Davis.

Why? Well, you’re not going to find an outfield like this anywhere else.

Gallo’s played in All-Star Games and alongside a flaming-hot Adolis Garcia, sure, but it’s not the star power that’s throwing him off, but rather the size of the star power.

Giancarlo Stanton, freshly an outfielder again, stands at 6-6 and 245 pounds. Aaron Judge, a famously large individual out in right field, dwarfs Stanton at 6-7 and 282. Gallo? Also quite a hoss, he checks in at 6-5 and 250, per Baseball Reference.

That bulk hasn’t been enough for him to feel comfortable so far, though, it would seem.

According to the man himself, he’s had quite a lot of trouble dealing with Judge in right, and the situation only makes him more furious when Stanton’s biceps get involved.

Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo doesn’t like being the little guy next to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

We understand. When your three-man weave in the outfield weighs enough to form a small crater, or to force everyone to head to the service elevator, there’s a lot of pressure there.

Though, if B-Ref is to be believed, Gallo isn’t actually the small man on the totem pole here, out-bulking Stanton’s measurements by just a few pounds. Once he flexes those guns at you on a routine popout, it’s tough to keep track, though.

Gallo had better get used to feeling uncomfortable, though, because on the oft chance the Yankees make the playoffs, their best October lineup likely includes Stanton-Gallo-Judge across the outfield, with Anthony Rizzo at first and Luke Voit DH’ing.

If the newbie wants more curtain calls, he’d better get used to navigating the middle linebackers when a ball splits the gap.

Though Gallo’s in a bit of a slump to kick off his Yankees tenure (we assume because he’s flustered by the size of his teammates), he’ll hopefully shake it off soon and ride the wave into 2022, when he’s also under contract.

Who knows how long the Stanton-in-the-outfield experiment lasts, but it’s good to know the intimidation factor is so powerful it affects both teams on the field.

Man, if this is what Gallo tells Yankees Magazine, imagine what he says in private?
