Week 3 Recap: Rise on the Road and Fall at Home

Could’ve been better, could’ve been worse

www.lonestarball.com

According to Baseball Reference, Texas has a .753 OPS on the road and at home .558 (this doesn’t include Sunday’s game stats.) They’ve scored 40 runs in seven games on the road and just 19 in nine games at home. That feels like a wildly different team and definitely something to keep track of throughout the rest of the season.

Maybe we have faced better pitching at home so far.

And what if neither of them are available when the Rangers pick?

We pick second.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

We pick second.

Fuck, I'm an idiot. I somehow got it in my head that they were in next year's draft.

 

[DT LUNA]

I will be 1st. I hate West coast late games.

Getting real tired of leaving men on base.

I think IKF is going to make a great utility player for us in the future. Maybe, as early as next year if we sign Story and Solak hits well this year.

When Huff proves he is ready, they are going to have an interesting decision with him and Trevino.

I don't think Huff sticks at catcher long term

Leody may not make it back up the remainder of the year. Garcia play in CF was very good.. he is a spark plug

 

[DT LUNA]

Woody get Cody out of there

 

[Kelleyman]

Will take the win

Woody get Cody out of there

They should get all of the starters out of the pen and bring up relief pitchers.

This is right after Darvish struck out Trout on that slow curveball. One of my favorite Darvish moments.

I couldn't tell from the replay if he robbed Ohtani of a HR or not...

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Maybe we have faced better pitching at home so far.

Maybe, or maybe they feel more relaxed being on the road...

They haven't faced any tough pitchers just some that pitched well against them, every player has his good days and bad days...

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Amusing to look at the standings and see the Asterisks in last place.

After starting off 5-0 IIRC...

Don't they have some players out with Covid right now???

For those of you who are into stats, projections and fantasy baseball...
