Rangers break losing streak vs Twins 6/27-6/29

Any body here think Odor should have a shot at the 2 spot? I do.

Did you see my previous post about RW changing people in the lineup? I think it's a good idea but would be shocked to see it happen.

Small ball...just make it stand up Yu.

Absolutely. I was so high on him coming into the year. I hope we aren't ruining his confidence. Someone mentioned this earlier, and I share in the concern

Since I'm here, and you won't have to try and remember, I brought up MC and his confidence.

It's concerning to me, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

But on a positive note, one terrific AB for Odor - why not swing for a hit on the first strike? - steals second, moves up to 3rd on ground out, scores on an infield out. Nice, all the way around.

I did and do not savvy that kind of thinking.

Yu let the ump know that was a BS called ball.

Choice a pretty level guy it seems. Good experience he's getting here. Sending him down shouldn't shake his confidence, I would think. Would just come back stronger.

I think umpiring behind the plate has gotten worse.

I meant it the exact opposite actually. Keeping him up here and hitting under .200 doesn't get him much positive experience, and his look at the plate is totally different now than it was 60 days ago.

I'd like to see him go down and get "quality" AB and have some success to build on.

.......And this silly announcer says, "I don't know if they're going to call it where it crosses the plate, or where the catcher catches it."

Say what?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Shame we do not have a healthy team with the year Beltre is having.

 

[RevSader]

Over managed that one...yikes

 

[darrylgann]

That was risky, Wash

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Why would RW have a hit an run on with a guy who is not known for handling the bat?

Or a guy who can't run and doesn't need to risk injury.

 

[donaldson79]

Both these pitchers are strike throwing machines through 4. Darvish avg about 14 per, and Hughes about 12 and not a walk between them.

 

[donaldson79]

You guys nailed it......Wastin and DT I mean

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Wow. That was not a strike.

 

[darrylgann]

Bat girl high tailed it there

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Those pitches were not even close.

Bat girl high tailed it there

And we have Spider-Man behind the plate
