Now that Espinohitsa is beginning to resemble Espinosa, it's Valnobuena's turn to return to just being plain ol' Valbuena!

[totdprods]

Yes, hopefully he can unlock his inner Napoli and release it upon Houston. 

Maybin expected to be activated tomorrow.

[Angel Oracle]

Good news on Maybin, but who goes back down to AAA?   EYJr. is playing really well, but he does have options remaining, correct?   They wouldn't release Revere, or would they?

I imagine Shane Robinson, with Revere sliding back to a reserve role.
Somehow, in 5 games and 12 PAs, Robinson has already accrued 0.3 WAR, 8th most on the team's position players.

[Angel Oracle]

Oops, forgot about Shane-O.   Guess that is easy to do.

[Dick B Back]

Crap, Cy Peacock!

[eligrba4ever]

GO HALOS!!! Go Matt Shoemaker!!

Keep it in the yard, Shoe!!! Cut into the Astros' lead.

Go Simba, Kole, Albert and Yunel!!! Pluck Peacock's feathers!!!

Go Angels hitters 5  through 9!! Muscle memory from Thursday.

LET'S GET A WIN!!!

[Ray McKigney]

Cron should be in there. Needs every day ABs. 

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!
 

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

Revere is worthless. He has an OPS+ of 47 over his last 501 plate appearances. He has a -2.8 WAR over his last 146 games. Time to consider a DFA for him

[AngelStew43]

Maybin activated.  S-Rob DFA.  Back to SLC for Robinson.

Looks like Eppler is gona learn the hard way not to sign unproductive vets

[eligrba4ever]

Astros are giving George Springer a day off. His 2-for-20 with 8 strikeouts against Shoe might have something to do with that.

[Troll Daddy]

New and Improved 

 

[eligrba4ever]

Maybin picks up where he left off -- a lead-off single.

[eligrba4ever]

Time for Valbuenono to become Valbuena again.

[eligrba4ever]

Valbuena walks and drives in a run. Keep it going, Simba.

[eligrba4ever]

1-0 is a good start. 2-0 or 3-0 might have been better.

[Troll Daddy]

Valbuena struck out ... glad to get one run at least.

No. He walked and scored Maybin. You can rewind or look it up.
