O'Hearn isn't close the the fielder Mountcastle is.

Holliday gets way too much a of pass for being young. Jackson Merrill is a whole 8 months older than Holliday and is batting .287, 23 HRs, 83rbis.. that’s what a top prospect should be doing. Even hal

Maybe the guy with 40 HRs? 

So he might get one less at bat in a game than if he was hitting 3?

We have our 3 best hitters in the top 3.   There is no one, right now, who is worthy of being next.

They’re about to finish a 3 games series in the 2nd best run scoring environment in the league, against a pitching staff with a 5.25 ERA in the 2nd half, with 9 total runs scored. It really cannot be understated how bad they are right now.

Why is Cowser swinging at that pitch?  If I can tell from watching on TV that it was ball out of the pitcher's hand, why can't Cowser?  

Cowser batting .208 / 309 / .333 with a 39% K rate in the last month.

So done with the Os offense. Maybe the hitting and offensive strategy coaches are perfect but there is something so wrong with this offensive approach and execution.  The early season success is masking the issues. This offense is broken and things need to change.

Shades of 2019 and 2021.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
