ARLINGTON, TX - APRIL 26: Yuli Gurriel #10 and teammate Kyle Tucker #30 of the Houston Astros celebrate Tuckers two-run home run against the Texas Rangers during the fourth inning at Globe Life Field on April 26, 2022 in Arlington, Texas.ARLINGTON — Jake Odorizzi’s third inning did not begin to plan. In a tie game, a 1-2 count against Rangers eight-hole hitter Willie Calhoun devolved into a leadoff walk when Odorizzi misfired three consecutive pitches, none anywhere near the strike zone.
The opposite occurred Tuesday. Odorizzi retired the next 12 Rangers batters, striking out a quarter of them, to conclude an impressive six innings of one-run ball in“It’s being an A-hole, I guess is the best way to put it,” Odorizzi said. “Instead of trying to you know, just finesse and feel bad about yourself it's just like, ‘No, now is not the time.’ I went through a lot of things in my head in between this start and last.
Odorizzi’s attacking mindset was especially demonstrable in an eight-pitch first inning and a six-pitch fourth inning, when Astros catcher Martín Maldonado said he kept the pressure on the Rangers with tight fastball command. Overall, however, Odorizzi said he didn’t vastly alter the strategy or pitch repertoire that he used against the Angels, a game where he felt many pitches missed by a matter of inches. Odorizzi chalked up his improved execution up to a mental shift as well as positive encouragement from teammates and coaches.
