Rafael Palmeiro to play ball again with son Patrick on the Sugar Land Skeeters

Since June 15, Offensively Roogie has the advantage Average wise, most of the other numbers are a draw, but Correa is going to have a big advantage defensively

Correa: 17 2b, 0 3B, 16 HRs, 48 RBIs, 11 SB, .276 AVG, .348 OBP, .495 SLG, .843 OPS
Odor: 18 2B, 5 3B, 13 HRs, 46 RBIs, 4 SB, .320 AVG, .362 OBP, .566 SLG, .929 OPS

Odor's advantage in AVG is going to skew his OBP & SLG numbers somewhat though

Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor went 2 for 3 with a two-run homer and two runs scored against the Astros on Wednesday.

If you project Odor's stats over 162 games, he has 22 home runs, 86 RBI and 70 runs from the second base position. This from a 21-year-old who didn't even get his bat going until June. Great things are coming from Odor.

Saw that on the ticker earlier

I was listening to Cowlishaw and Moseley and Banister was on. Out of the blue Moseley says do you think it was a watershed moment for this team when you almost beat up AJ Hinch? I cracked up because it went silent and then Banister started laughing so hard it took him a while to answer the question.

If Colby can keep the ball down I like our chances to get the sweep. Astros are a good team and they will battle tonight. Sweep would be awesome but 3 out of 4 ain't bad at all.

 

[DT LUNA]

And away we go.

 

[Duane1952]

Nice job of keeping them scoreless Colby.

 

[jta4437]

Before tonight's game Choo had 8 fewer hits and the same number of walks in the 2nd half as he did in the 1st half, in 124 fewer ABs

 

[DT LUNA]

We need to get in their pen asap. They should be ragged out after the 1st three games.

 

[Duane1952]

Alright some runs please offense.

 

[DT LUNA]

Alright some runs please offense.

Lets get this guy out of there quick

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Take 2 good strikes and then strike out on that pitch?

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

Hopefully we get good Colby

 

[DT LUNA]

Should score this ab. Top of the order and second time around

 

[DT LUNA]

Hopefully we get good Colby

He's on que so far

 

[Duane1952]

Hopefully we get good Colby
