2 sweeps in a row too much to ask?....Stros 6/12-14

Odor is having a game-of-games for this season with the glove and bat. Hasn't happened enough....but still

Joey scuffling of late.

Comes with the "territory of expectations" doesn't it?

Honestly must admit, this season has been a great awakening for me and Mr Gallo. Definitely see his value much better now, regardless of traditional numbers.

Maybe he is FINALLY getting going. The guy has had an abysmal season so far.

I worry about him a lot less as well.

If you'd known going in Nick would have 6 innings, 5 hits with 2 runs, you'd hated right?

Not kidding....that's a pretty salty/solid line against one of the best hitting teams in the game.

Not at all..... I'd take that every time from just about anyone except you'd probably expect more from Kershaw, Sale, or scherzos, but that is a select elite group and it's not fair to compare him to those guys. Hell of a job by nick and I'd like nothing more than to see this team not waste it by pulling out the win. The Astros really want this one, you can tell because they put Devenski out there again, he's pretty much there clutch reliever.

Damn, Roog.

Damn, Roog.

This is his GAME-OF-GAMES for 2017. At least until 14 June anyway. ha ha ha Seriously though, helluva night for the young man.

We have acquired relief pitcher Joey Rodriguez from the Phillies for a PTBNL or cash considerations. He had been DFAed by the Phillies.

As the great Butch Cassidy once asked, "who are those guys"?

WIN column and loving the 5 in a row.

And these are not scrub teams.

Perhaps having Profar up has put a charge in his butt

AJ Hitch is doing his best to destroy his best pitchers. Double digit lead in standings and has Peacock pitch on 3 days rest. Keutial DL and McCullers. And he is using Davenski like a rented mule.

Rougned Odor, Rangers show they are on the road back to where they were last year | SportsDay

"Odor has responded. He spent a day watching video with friend and mentor Robinson Chirinos and another just blowing off steam at a barbecue at Chirinos’ house. What he found with Chirinos was a small swing adjustment in the video room and second the ability to just relax while hanging out at the barbecue."

Between this and Robbie's work with Darvish, his value to this team is incalculable.

It seems he's become quite the leader, both on and off the field. A very good thing for us too.

Still wish odor would take a walk every few games. Would help him get better pitches to hit. I agree with you about chirinos. I think we could trade Lucroy and be just fine at catcher and I used to not like chirinos, but he's definitely gotten better.

I may not be "all in" on this just yet. ha ha

But I tell ya what. Last night was his best night as a Ranger EVER IMO. 3 hits, 2 HRs, 3 very good defensive plays and some terrific hustle on the bases. More, more please.

Good to know that in regard to this series we are playing with house money. I know a sweep would be really awesome, but either way the result down here wasn't too bad.

Of course I'd much rather be 10 games back than 12

And the silver boot be 4-6 instead of 3-7.

Win today also sweeps the road trip. Who would've guessed or put money on that? I thought we'd go 1-5 or 2-4.

Let's just get the win today and enjoy an off day tomorrow.
