Calhoun with 3 hits today. One of them a homerun to CF. Pretty impressive, since the Royals stadium is not considered a homerun park.

He needs to stay up here. Going to interesting when Elvis comes back.

Interesting very much. Board will be hopping when that comes.
No way you can send a guy down who is swinging the bat like he is

All our guys raking but this is not elite pitching we are facing. Odor nails a fat on that does not break enough

Tuned in at start of inning. Looks like Willie sprays the ball. Really good for a lineup that sees a lot of shifts.

This is quite encouraging along with Mazara looking good.
He did a great job beating the shift on that 2nd single. I missed the first one but heard it was much like that. Then showed some bat speed and hit out of to CF.

Really happy for Willie.

He looks like he has an elite hit tool. Of course I am overly optimistic but a bit Gwynn-esque

Just getting a base hit beating the shift tells me he needs more play time.

I’m rooting for guys to outplay Odor.

He deserves to go to Nashville.

Seems like everyone in danger of losing their job woke up against the Royals

Odor's homerun came off a position player that was pitching. Hopefully this will jumpstart him. Don't know how good the Cardinals pitching is.

Dave Raymond doesn’t care. There will be a huge segment on the broadcast tomorrow about how Odor has beaten the slump and the front office has breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Santana, forsythe, and Calhoun are still playing circles around that bum.

I snuck into the rangers front office and this is how they evaluate the current group of position players.


odor strikes out = front office ignores it like it didn't happen.

Odor makes contact and gets out = it's the equivalent of backups Santana, forsythe, or pence getting a single

Odor gets a single = equal to a Santana, forsythe, or Calhoun extra base hit

Odor gets a double = equal to a Santana, forsythe, or Calhoun home run

Odor gets a triple = we might have the next mike trout on our hands.

Odor gets a home run = slump is over. Previous negative at bats completely forgotten about and forgiven. Leash is extended by another 2 weeks.
