Little bit scary on that DP throw. Nice job by Odor to react to that and keep his cool to turn it

I'm seriously considering getting a jersey with his name on it. He's freaking great and highly entertaining. Dude needs his own cam.

I had the same thought earlier. "Left-handed hitter, second baseman, giant chain, and terrible haircut; Rougie has to feel threatened."

Haha same. Just looking at him you kind of think he might be a super arrogant dbag, but he seems super humble, and grateful to be here. Quickly becoming a big fan of his.

Was asked about his comment on being welcomed by the clubhouse and makes it easier, and if that comment is indicative of how other teams treated him.

He responded saying, "I don't want to mention other teams, but I loved the Reds organization. Everyone there and the clubhouse treated me great. I won't talk about the other team."

Just threw the Cubs under the bus

7-1 in last 8. May not last long but feels good to have a winning ball club.

I noticed that too. Very funny! I enjoyed it because the Cubs have won some trades with us unfortunately.

Dietrich has had more of an impact on this team in 3 games than Odor has all season.

Rangers are 3-0 with Trevino behind the plate. PT? Give it to him.

I've been saying for weeks that he should play.

Chirinos looks old, worn down, and over the hill. Mathis isn't a good hitter, but he's gotten a few lucky hits so far this season.

Chirinos is 36 years old. I said when they signed him that there's now way I'd plan on a 36 year old as my primary catcher. He is in there to ambush a fastball periodically as a PH, and spot start at 1B or or catch on getaway days.

I don't care what he wears as long as he hits.

Sounds like he's not quite ready. I'd say wait another day or two if so. I feel like we may have rushed Calhoun back the way he struggled at first, but now Calhoun is looking like himself again at the plate. Let's not rush Santana back for a repeat of that (obviously I'm reading between the lines on this tweet).

Can the DH be used to hit in place of a position player (Odor) and let our pitcher hit? These guys are usually pretty good bunters and would be batting 9th instead of 6th.

Yes, it's really gotten that bad.

I don't know why they keep hitting him 6th when he leaves at least 3-5 people on base per game.

They should at least move him down in the order if the front office is making sure he's in the lineup.

After watching Santana last year, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the first few games this season and assume that he was doing that poorly because of his injury.

I agree, no need to rush him back right now.

Odor has had a hit in his last 2 games and has also had some pretty good ABs (working counts). Hopefully he's on the verge of getting hot.

Yeah, he seemingly peaked at a young age. Not a bad hitter, but when you factor in that he is a liability on the bases and with the glove, it was good to trade him given our abundance of LH bats in prior years.

Mazara was remarkably consistent in his four seasons, albeit consistently mediocre. Each season was almost identical from a BA/OBP/SLG standpoint.
