I guess I'm too old fashioned for you guys. For me, batting average still means something, although I know hitters today don't give a rat's ass about it. I think he should be hitting better than .225 for a whole month of games. Hey, I hope he gets red hot and stays that way. Only time will tell.


Boog Powell had 3 months 227 or worse in 1965. Shit happens.

Boog was never a great average hitter.  He probably only hit about .260 for his career.  Had a handful of seasons around .300 but mostly was south of .270.  Actually, a hitter like Boog would be hugely celebrated today.  Hit for power and drew his share of walks with a solid OBP.  Batting average?  Nobody would care.

247 is league average for hitting, just for some context. That's been pretty consistent for several years now.

Rutschman is hitting 262. He hit 254 last year.

I still say with his ability to consistently draw walks, his batting average should be much better.  Nothing you say is going to change my mind on that.

Did Palmer just say the Rangers are hitting .338 as a team? That's unreal.

I'm not a pitching coach, but we should stop leaving off-speed pitches in the middle of the plate.

Not sure what he was talking about or in what context but they came into tonight hitting .270 as a team.  Excellent for today's game.

Maybe it was in May? .270 still impressive

Agree.  Really like the way they look.  I think they should consider it a permanent road uniform.
