When Odor does get better for a few weeks it will buy him another year or so of patience from management. They will then think he is the answer again. Then he will go into another slump and be too bad to be traded once more. I think we are stuck.
I am beginning to doubt Odor getting better for a few weeks. Now normally when I say something like that the player goes on a hot streak. But the reason I say that is he does not make adjustments. It is the same approach regardless.

He went oppo Loce to see more of that. He has to change his approach especially two strikes

It’s one hit dude.

Wait until Odor puts together a good solid week before praising the guy.

Sir, I root for the Rangers, all Rangers. I don't root for our guys to strike out. FWIW I "praised" the approach despite my typos and noted a different approach at 2 strikes was needed.

You are a bit out of line with the the chill. Faith is not a bad thing

He still has a long way to go.

Ikf and Profar are playing circles around him right now.

Luckily for him he has a spot at least until Andrus gets back

Til then, I'll root for him to succeed but continue to criticize after the fact

He has a spot..... probably until the end of the year or he hits under .100

Face it, I have my doubts, this organization isn’t going to do anything about his “stinky odor” at the bottom of the lineup every night. It’s brain dead strategy, oh well.

Why do you single him out? He is no worse than Gallo Guzman Rua or Chirino. Yes he is bad but he is here and I hope he, like the others, get better. Keep in mind to single out one and not the others is something wrong with you.

Gallo, Guzman, Rua, and chirinos didn’t somewhat recently receive a shiny new contract.

Has nothing to do with Odor. You need to look at FO for that. Tyler you are wrong. Man up.

Hey, hey, hey now. Let's don't be throwing Guzman into that pot. HA! I think going into last night's game DDJ was something like 5 for his last 49. We need him just saying we have had a number of guys having trouble. Just glad Guzman had a good series and IKF and Profar have trending upwards the last 3 weeks. Profar still has some work to do on defense.

The difference in Odor's situation and other guys who are struggling is that there are other guys that can play Odor's position that are playing much better than him presently. That isn't the case with the others unless you want to put IKF in the OF and sit Gallo.

Either you' re hitting for avg or not. That is the point not how you're playing defense.

We shall see how this shakes out when Elvis and Beltre get back. I really don’t think Odor role is limitless

I still hope they consider sending Odor down to AAA or AA for however long it takes for him to grow back into a ML player

My argument is when you have 4/5 guys at the Mendodza line there are more problems than one and no one seems to address it.

I was mainly talking about playing better offensively.
