My gut is telling me the Rangers go 1-2 this weekend.
Gut was wrong, thankfully

You see, this is what I really don't like about Woody. He has been saying all along that Willie has totally bought in to the approach Woody wanted for him. We heard about all of the hard hit balls that Willie was hitting, but they just weren't falling. Then he sends him down and says he needs to adjust again.He did say that Calhoun needs more lift on his swing

Rangers' Willie Calhoun Wants To Be Traded After Demotion To Triple-A

"Calhoun also wasn’t pleased with how Rangers hitting coaches both old and new (Tim Hyers and assistant coach Seth Conner were hired over the offseason) tried to alter his swing and approach. “I don’t agree with some of the hitting philosophies from the new guys,” Calhoun said. “I don’t process that (information) too well. I’m not 6-4, 230 pounds; I can’t hit pop-up home runs. I don’t have that leverage.”'Willie all but demanding a trade

Who all is hitting better under the new hitting coaches?
The one new thing for the hitting coaches is that they are now coaching under Woodward.Eh… I would wait a bit before judging the coaches.. it’s only been a month..
And Donnie Ecker was baseball America coach of the year for his work with the Giants
I believe we have great coaching..it would appear so.. just going to take a little bit to get everyone on the same page and heading in the right direction..
I kind of feel for the guy. He hits 21 HRs in 2019 in about 300 ABs and then the next year in Spring Training he gets his jaw busted when hit by a pitch and you have to overcome some fears when that happens. Then the next year he gets hit in the arm and has his forearm busted. Just has tough luck. Hey, whatever happens with him happens. But with what we are trying to do and see what we have why is Kole Calhoun on this team. He has zero future here. More so than Willie.He hasn't been happy here in a long time
You would think guys like Seager and Semien could be vocal leaders.I had a postgame question with Sandler show questioning. Woody’s use ofHoward and pen, Allard vs Burke Also questioned since we are in a rebuild year why we don’t utilize guys with a future like Adolis on top of lineup and Why Kole leads off.
He stated basically Kole was the vocal leader in the locker room an has had bad luck.
