If we lose tonight, this one is gonna hurt a little more than some......We should have won this one, pretty easy........But perhaps, nothing is going to be 'pretty easy' in 2018.
Last night it was Claudio and tonight Kela. Too bad because overall the Rangers played a good game.

I don’t get how anyone could still be in the “ Odor” camp after seeing what IKF and profar have been doing when given the opportunity.

IKF and Profar carried us to this win. Look at the hit totals.

I’m calling it a win because I can’t fathom the bullpen choking AGAIN.

It’s over. Mark it down. We got this.

I still don’t think I’ll win the bet. Cleveland has kluber going tomorrow, but it’s nice to still have a chance at winning tho.

You still on board with that?

Giving up a game tying grand slam with 1 strike left is not something good teams do. Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for extra innings, but I’m glad the boys pulled it out.

Yeah Moore does not inspire confidence but if we can knock Kliber out some how then their pen is thin

Profar with some nice ABs to drive in 3 runs. I know Gallo had the go ahead HR but Profar to me was the player of the game. But no big deal. Great game by IKF as well and nice defense to end the game.

The good thing about tomorrow is that the game is in Cleveland. It helps my chances a little bit.

This team plays better on the road. If the boys can pull it out tomorrow, we would have won series in Houston, Toronto, and Cleveland. Those 3 are not easy places to win.

I know it has been debated a lot lately, but

I just don't trust this organizations judgement anymore.

Management has made 2 terrible decisions this year and they've literally been bailed out by injuries.

Colon was the odd man out at the start of the season and we very well could've lost him. It was close. Colon is the staff ace this year from what I've seen.

Odor has been given all of last year, spring training, and the start of this year to show something.

I still see a guy who strikes out a ton, can't take walks, and can't take bad pitches. His batting average is always hovering around .200

You really gotta ask yourself is it worth keeping odor as the everyday starter and automatically putting him in the lineup card just because he's a good fit in the club house, he dumps Gatorade on guys after a win at home. And he punched Ranger nemesis Jose Bautista?

I'd have to say no. Profar and IKF look a lot better than him right now and they've already given odor tons of time to figure it out. A smart organization would send odor down for the year to work on his approach at the plate while we continue to evaluate IKF and Profar, but I'm starting to wonder if we even have a smart organization anymore. We definitely used too.
