Payback is not always fun and today is sample

Gotta give Odor credit.

He has been smashing the sisters of the poor.

I’ll be impressed when he gets hits on good pitchers / teams tho.

Everyone on our roster feasted on White Sox pitching.

Come now! You missed something the last several series or you're trolling.

Researched 5th inning, Cole got zero help from defense. IKF Needs more work at AAA catching. Rua needs anothe start

Since June 18th when we started with sisters of the poor Odor has hit .333 and striking out just twice while Profar has hit .225 and striking out 10 times. Since we have been comparing Profar so much to Odor I looked at this. That being said I hope they both do well. With Odor's pop, speed and arm strength it serves us well if he can continue to go in the right direction. This isn't Rangers vs Astros so we shouldn't be looking at Odor or Profar as one of the enemy and hope they fail.

Well put and stated Wastin. He has heard it before. Just likes pissing us off so I try not to expand. But you are right, Odor and Profar are not enemies and I hope they both reach their highest potential.

I think everyone will be happy when the log jam is finally dealt with.

Odor has had the undeniable advantage of playing second base everyday while odor and ikf have been running around playing tons of different positions.

Odor has it easier than both guys.

If we trade Choo, maybe Beltre could be full time DH and that would make more room for guys.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

First time in his career Odor has been on base 5x in a game.

That's b/c he had it easier than the others cause crawler said so.

 

[Bmurph]

Joe West is pure fucking trash. Just retire you old fuck.

I was there and completely busted his balls for 9 straight innings! The people one section over to each side were literally laughing their asses off for all the shit I was giving him. He really does have to go!

 

[Bmurph]

Just curious but wondering if Crawler ordered his Odor bobble head?

I picked up an extra one for him

You are right in that after the trade deadline we could see Odor at 2nd and Profar at 3rd on a regular basis.

 

[romeo212000]

Sorry guys, but gotta call the way I see it, and that was THE WORST AT BATS I'VE EVER SEEN FROM Beltre!

Swings at a pitch a foot outside, and then sissies out on a 3rd call strike in the 8th with the tying runs on base. I say again, SORRY, but that was some weak-ass-shit.

He’ll have one of those once in a while.

Rangers sign Ronald Acuna's brother Luisangel

According to industry sources, the Rangers have agreed to a $2 million deal with catcher Jose Rodriguez of Venezuela, ranked No. 21 on MLB.com's Top 30 International Prospects list and shortstop Luisangel Acuna, the younger brother of Atlanta phenom Ronald Acuna Jr., for $425,000.

The Rangers did not confirm the deals.

When considering Rodriguez, picture a young Brian McCann. Rodriguez could be the most advanced hitter from Venezuela in this year's class and he continues to improve on both sides of the ball. The teenager has all of the ingredients to become an average catcher in the future.

As for Acuna, he might end up at second base because of his size and overall skill set. He is best known for offense and he has the potential to be an average-or-better hitter. He could also develop into a decent runner with proper instruction.
