Rangers recalls Gallo and Hoying from Round Rock. Activate Sheppers from 60 day DL.

Not sure why Hoying and Gallo get the call. Maybe Sheppers as pitching is always a concern and needed.

Round Rocks season ended yesterday. Figured they would call up Gallo once their season ended.

Agree, seems Gallo is just like a side show attraction. His season at RR was not very impressive. I am sure I will catch flak for that statement but the guy needs to get it together or we will regret not moving him instead of Brinson or someone else in recent trades.

You'll not gonna be catching any flak from this corner. But I bet you will from others for sure.

The other day I was mentioning about him having no business being called up and you'd thought I tried to burn the flag or some-such.

Still don't see the need then or now.

I know most on here won't be on board with this, but I'm cheering for Tanner Sheppers. And seriously, wouldn't it be fantastic, probably more so for the team than him, for him to make a positive difference?

Our BP could use an extra producer out there.

Joey Gallo's season at Round Rock this year.

.256/.409/.616, 21% BB, 23% SO: Opening Day until first call-up (4/7 -5/23)
.241/.365/.525, 15% BB, 34% SO: Between two call-ups (5/29 - 7/25)
.226/.336/.470, 11% BB, 44% SO: After second call-up until end of season (8/2 - 9/5)

He had a really bad August even though he still managed to have an OPS over .800 during that time. If he had simply done as well in August as he did between his call-ups then his entire year would have been pretty good. I am sure we all wish he had done better though.

Tepesch has been DFAed by the Royals. Anyone interested???? I didn't think so.

If I would have been logged on I would have backed you up my friend.

I was curious about his slugging pct and noticed it has been down the last 2 years. I really want the guy to turn out to be a monster power hitter and he really needs to be because his other tools are just so-so. He is just 22 so I guess I need to take it easy on the guy.

He was so good and then so bad. I have paid attention to him to see how he is doing in the minors and he has done better. He has the talent he just needs the piece that is between the ears. If that light comes on then we have us something and I hope it does.

Gallo needs to show something, imo ...should've kept Bronson . Gallo may turn out to be another Chris Davis , I sure hope so .
