C-Notes 2043.08 - Shines in His Debut, Then Decides to Take 4 Weeks Off

Post by GoldenOne » Fri Jun 26, 2020 1:24 pm

Andrew Gallagher was anticipated to be a September call-up or possibly an injury replacement later this summer. After hitting a pedestrian .224/.330/.441 in a full season of AA ball last year, the Cougars Front Office took a gamble and still promoted him to AAA for the 2043 season.

Gallagher responded nicely in AAA by showing off in his first 20 games to the tune of .353/.439/.559, though with only 2 HRs.

Clearly needing some offensive help in Charlotte, GM Golden decided to shake things up a little bit. After clearing some room on their BBA roster by putting 3B Larry Blake on DFA/Waivers (where he ultimately went unclaimed, refused a demotion, and then was ultimately released), Gallagher found his way to Charlotte and was thrust into the starting DH spot.

Gallagher responded like he belonged there, he knew it, and wasnt going to give anyone a reason to send him back to Richmond. In his first 6 games, Gallagher went .429/.520/.762, with 2 doubles, a triple, and a homerun. Then, in the 7th inning of his 6th game, Gallagher got a little too much spark in his base-running and ended up breaking his thumb legging out a double.

Now it will be another 4 weeks before we get another chance to see if Gallagher's hot start can continue. Another 4 weeks before we see if the Cougars stay hot (well, for the Cougars at least) from Gallagher's debut or if they will sink even further.
