They bring in Odor in to pinch hit and still strikes out.

The only guys who did not strike out were Calhoun, Solak and IKF. We are going to be everyone's career or season high in strike outs in a game that pitches against us. And to strike out 5 times in 5 plate appearances? Wow!

Yeah saw the box score 5Ks. Ouch. Halos announcers state it is known fact he is a free swinger and pitchers should not give him anything in the zone

He needs to work on boosting his walk total in the offseason.

Woody play that damn solak kid as much as you can. Especially at the expense of big stink.

They said that in the first game as well and with 2 strikes threw a pitch barely off the plate and he swung at it and struck out. Only 14 walks this season.

Feeding into the Crawler wheelwell. Hahaha

Really am liking this guy. Him and Calhoun need to stay up and getting a lot of playing time.

Solak is a breath of fresh air at second base.

I hesitate to even post this. But this is from several observations from Evan Grant.

Take the case of Rougned Odor, who by almost any valuation, should be sitting on the bench right now if it is purely results the team is chasing. But the Rangers are trying to get Odor to change a lot in his swing and his approach and he is making an honest-to-goodness effort, even if it has not had positive results so far. But because of the buy-in and the effort, Woodward and staff continue to reward him with playing time. The idea being: Buy in, trust the process, stick with the process, it's eventually going to provide results. It won't provide noticeable results this year, but, it will give Odor and the Rangers a baseline to go off next year. At that point, I think it becomes more focused on results. Even "the process" has an expiration date.

We're all open-minded rational thinkers here, no need to worry...

Has the process ever stopped to consider that odor just isn’t very good and other players should be used?

As long as the process has him on the bench next April I am fine with it.

The process should also have him learning new positions in the offseason so he can be at least an adequate bench player.

Maybe the thought process behind the process they are teaching has expired itself. Seems like the same thought process that said Davidson would become an elite hitter.

Wasn't that also the same thought process that had Santana start the year in Nashville. The same thought process kept Calhoun in Nashville too much as well.

We need some Process Servers to take some action.

That most recent Calhoun demotion looks very very bad right now.

They pretty much sent him down to keep odor and condor up.


Yikes

Are you suing JD?
