I do think it's cute that he gave his girlfriend a little shoutout, and while I'm sure some girlfriends would take offense at the context, surely she understands...
Is Evan Gattis Baseball’s John Daly?
Could the Atlanta Braves Evan Gattis be a flash in the pan, or is he for real? People wondered the same thing about golfer John Daly, another enormously talented athlete with a colorful past, when he charged onto the national stage in 1991.

Braves continue to hammer the baseball
After getting out to such an outrageous start, certain players like Justin Upton and Evan Gattis had to cool off.
