We was recalled to replace Simmons who must be going on the DL. A player can be recalled before the 10 day time period to replace an injured player.

We was? Sweet!

Or Fernandez for added offensive punch.  Is it a 40 man roster issue?

yes, at least that's 1 reason

The lineup brings back memories of Johnny G., Conger and, oh yeah, Cowart bringing up the rear.

So is yours, I would guess. LOL

Kaleb's options expire at season's end. Use him in an emergency before he heads off down the road.

I never saw anyone hoping for a player to fail as much as you. Seems like you enjoy it every time he strikes out. Just saying.

Commenting on what is plain for all to see is NOT wanting someone to fail. I WANT him to succeed. I KNOW he has reached his limit.

Just something you pick up over the years. I get he has problem hitting in the majors, I think it's much like Cron he has a problem with the pressure of knowing he needs to have immediate success or be sent down. I think most of his problems are mental.

Cron has no pressure now and he isn't that remarkable

I liked Johnny G. He brought energy.

12 HR before June and hit his 13 today, only had 16 last season and every season for the last 3 years. He will hit 30 this year I'm guessing. He's leading TB in HR, Doubles, RBIs, and SLG, and third in OPS. He's a lot better than Valbuena, and Marte at 1B on defense.

Eppler should trade for him.

All I read was that Cowart likes to take up the rear. Behind Conger, evidently.

[NachoPop]

Cowart's played more games at SS this year than any year previously. Adding that to his repertoire has actually paid off with this call up. Obviously they have Cozart play there, but how has Cowart looked at SS if he need to back him up?

Go Halos!

MLB Network is carrying the Angels game outside SoCal -- AFTER the finish of the game at Rogers Centre in Toronto. Scoreless bottom 11.

[John Taylor]

I seriously need to just stop and appreciate the fact that we have Ohtani. The guy is really damn good at hitting and pitching and does both regularly for our team. Sometimes I should appreciate what he is doing, and doing well.

[Troll Daddy]

Anybody else missing this guy

Not with a .315 OPS in May

That gif is pretty much his entire 2018 production.
