Series Thread: Rnagers Go To Houston For 4 With The Astros May 9-12

Reddick has hurt us bad tonight.

Last night too.

 

[DT LUNA]

At least we didn't have to see that POS Odor bat again.

He was .136 before tonight.

 

[Nightcrawler]

This series has been a disaster so far.

Pitching had performed well by our standards, but bats have been non-existent.

 

[Duane1952]

He was .136 before tonight.

He's at 132 right now.

 

[Nightcrawler]

He's at 132 right now.

The big stench could end up in the .120’s with another 0 for tomorrow. What a joke.

 

[Nightcrawler]

People will call me a jerk, but I don’t care. It looks like I was right about Odor this week.

All of his hits were off bottom of the barrel pitchers and the slump seems to be going on as strong as ever. When will they start to entertain the idea of at least sitting him occasionally?

Everybody is right about Odor at the moment.

You want to bench half the team.

Lol, when you have an 8 man bullpen, that is pretty hard to do.

From Scott Lucas.

Palumbo fanned nine of 26 batters and threw plenty of strikes. Three of the six hits off of him went for extra bases and contributed to the runs scored. Of the four top upper-level starting prospects, Palumbo's season has been the most mundane, and I mean that in a good way. He hasn't suffered an injury (like Hearn and Burke) or had the wild performance swings of Jonathan Hernandez. He's progressing nicely.

That’s a crock.

Just odor and Guzman.

The lineup looked a lot better with Santana, Forsyth, and pence in there. We actually had some righties to balance it out and second base wasn’t a huge black hole.

Mazara is on the bench today

 

[Kelleyman]

I’m glad to see that the vast majority of this board has a low opinion of odor.

I wish some of the coaches and management thought the same way.

I am not writing him off. But a little friendly competition for spots on the team is not a bad thing. Players need to produce on offense at a 2B spot

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That’s a crock.

Just odor and Guzman.

You have thrown a whole lot more names out there than that so don't give me "that's a crock" garbage. Don't get your wanting to bench Guzman. Would be a really dumb move at this point. If he has not improved by the end of next year then maybe that can be discussed but not now.

He was the hero of the Pirates game.

Actually IKF got the hit which broke the tie.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Santana batting 2nd and playing CF. Interesting.

Odor batting 6th again.
