May 19, 20187 yr Odor is 0 for 5 on a night when the Rangers score 12. It’s time to get him the fuck out of here. Average is down to .182; needs to be sent down to figure things out.

If he has and it's not working send him down.

May 20, 20187 yr Hitting Coach: Swing at shit in the dirt. Take strikes Gallo: Duh... got it. Odor: Si, Senor.
May 23, 20187 yr "Right handed pitchers have given the Rangers fits this year" - actual quote from FSSW broadcast Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
May 24, 20187 yr Guzman and Profar are coming on strong. Mazara has turned into a force. When Andrus returns, Banister may have a decision to make at 2B (Profar or Odor). Profar could play several positions, of course. Regardless, it looks like they're going to have to keep him in the lineup.
May 24, 20187 yr Profar has improved over what he was a couple years ago. Needs to learn to throw the damn ball to first base on a line. Really impressed with IKF. Be nice if he continues to improve and not flame out like most of Rangers prospects. Same with Guzman, showing improvement. Now Odor is a different story. He just sucks now. May never be worth a shit. Definitely not what they paid him. With all of this, other positions, pitching, it's gonna be a while before it'll be meaningful baseball for the Rangers.
May 24, 20187 yr Also would like to see some guys in the bullpen step up so we can make some trades. Really no need to have a good bullpen on a bad team. I do think a young core of position players is developing around Maz, Gallo (tho he’s taken a step back so far), IKF and Guzman. I used to consider Odor as a part of that group but something is seriously wrong with him mentally. Not sure what to make of Profar yet. Don’t think he’s good enough to play SS defensively.

Add DeSheilds and Calhoun in there. Also, Kela is looking legit as a closer. Now we just need 5 starting pitchers.....
May 26, 20187 yr Guzman's showing signs of becoming a force. Don't see any reason to play Rua at first unless it is to give Guzman a rest. Rua vs. Gallo in left field? Gallo has a slight edge. Some of Rua's swings make me wonder if he needs glasses. Still don't think Kela is a long term solution at Closer, but maybe with some more confidence/experience. Profar's defense is pretty good, but he's got to get control of his throws. Seems it was an injury to his right shoulder or right arm that took him out of the lineup for a year or so. The strength is back, but the accuracy is a problem. Odor is on the fence. He's making better contact. We'll see where he stands in a couple of weeks. Kindof Falafel is at .263. Odor .193. Big difference.

He was the set up man for Choo in the top of the 10th with absolute gems @Goo Punch for out #'s 2 and 3 today Edited May 27, 20187 yr by SurlyBDR

May 27, 20187 yr Hopefully Beltre and Hamels can fetch us some promising young starting pitchers. Guzman, Kiner-Falefa, Deshields, and Mazara is a good young nucleus to build around. I guess Gallo and Profar as well?? Maybe Colon and/or Fister could bring us a decent piece as well. Moore and Perez aren't long term pieces. I like Minor though. Edited May 27, 20187 yr by Elmer_Fudd
May 29, 20187 yr Willie Calhoun seems like he kinda sucks Quote Willie Calhoun is the Texas Rangers’ top prospect and one of the more well-regarded hitting prospects in baseball. It would seem, however, that we still have some time before we’ll see him in the big leagues on a permanent basis. At least based on what happened over the weekend. Calhoun was pulled from a game at Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday for failing to run hard on a grounder. Later, Rangers big league manager Jeff Banister said this in response: “Play hard … run down the line hard. It’s the effort you’re giving your teammates. Once the bat leaves your hands, you’re working for your teammates. That’s the identity you want to have in your organization.” So, yes, it sounds like the whole organization is on board with that benching.
May 30, 20187 yr So Odor pulls up on his swing a bit and shoots one to LF with the bases loaded. Wonder if he's waking up.

May 31, 20187 yr why again is Matt Moore pitching? christ give a young guy some innings rather than this spare.
May 31, 20187 yr Don't look now, but we just took two from the team with the fourth best record in the American League. I heard Seattle was one of the hottest teams in baseball.

May 31, 20187 yr Who stole the putrid, unwatchable Rangers and replaced them with this mildly entertaining young team?

May 31, 20187 yr 15 minutes ago, Dr Fear said: If you are a fan of the putrid, Odor is still there for you! I believe that he was one of the culprits who went 0 for 3 with the bases loaded in the 7th or 8th last night, but he made a pretty good defensive play or two late on hard hit balls. His pop-ups and strike outs piss me off, but he seems to be making better contact the last ten days or so. Banny is leaving him in.
May 31, 20187 yr 31 minutes ago, Dr Fear said: If you are a fan of the putrid, Odor is still there for you! I've largely overlooked Odor in favor of admiring IKF's hitting the ball through the right side on a H&R, Mazara's continued improvement, especially against lefties, and Guzman's newfound patience and approach (as well as outstanding defense).

June 1, 20187 yr Trade rumors for Hamels #Rangers and #Yankees Cole Hamels trade talks are centered around RHP Chance Adams and INF Thairo Estrada + two lower level prospects. Estrada has potential to be a valuable starter but is blocked by Torres, Gregorius, Andujar/Drury. #Rangers like Adams as relief pitcher.
June 1, 20187 yr nice. beltre has to hold at 3rd after a double by profar. no one out. Gallo K's and Odor pops out. you can't have those guys back to back in the lineup. they are black holes...
June 1, 20187 yr I hope that a reliever prospect and another middle infielder isn’t the best we can do for an experienced starting pitcher.

June 1, 20187 yr I hope that a reliever prospect and another middle infielder isn’t the best we can do for an experienced starting pitcher. He's not what he used to be. You aren't going to get a whole lot for him at this point.
