Battle of the bads- Rangers vs tigers 05/07-05/09

Dave please be quite.

Moore has been a mistake.

I hope Odor shits the bed. He’s always going to be an overly aggressive hitter who the pitchers can take advantage of. Profar and ikf at least put up a fight.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

No middle ground with Moore tonight... either he makes them look foolish or they smack the shit out of it.

Such as Leonys just did... 1 out away from a quality start, too. Damn.

 

[DT LUNA]

IKF is going to play BB for a while and hope it's with us.

Agreed, but I think they send IKF with the expectation and hope that he'll work on the weak spots in his game (they're there) from having faced ML pitchers and come back even better

I think by next year he's a much better hitter than odor with less pop but much better plate discipline and defense

A little harsh but minus the arm he is not a good outfielder at this point in his career

I think I heard that JD was planning to use IKF at catcher.

Could be wrong tho. Just a rumor.

They have to see if Odor can rebound. This board was just as faithless in Gallo last year. Way too much knee jerking IMO

 

[Kelleyman]

Re IKF as a catcher


No rumor but truth. Still a utility guy unless he can prove FO wrong

 

[Kelleyman]

DDJ has electric speed wow

 

[True Rangers Fan]

FUCK HE IS FAST

 

[DT LUNA]

DDJ has electric speed wow

Another one that was shown little faith a year or so ago.

I lacked faith in his arm but he is a terror on the basepath

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Profar with a big boy plate appearance there

Wtf is going on in here?

He's an emergency catcher at this point, nothing more, maybe a primary backup at some point, but he's not going to be anyone's starter at this point, but it makes him a great guy to have on the bench

Makes you less afraid to pinch hit Chirinos for Perez late in a game or in case of injury

They've given Odor plenty of extended time to get it turned around, Gallo's obviously put in some work and it shows

Odor hasn't done that in well over a year, his leash should be short

I think he gets his opportunity until Andrus returns but that's about it if he doesn't show any attempt at getting his shit together

And it meant to say send IKF to AAA to work on the flaws in his game

Which is smart as he has a bright future with Rangers. Let home sharpen all his tools
