Pederson has been on a roll as of late.
Here’s what people have been saying about him on social media:
@RightOnRangers: “Joctober came early. Pederson delivers a clutch two-out RBI double, his 2nd of the ballgame, to even the score in the 5th.”
@DwayneWHorner: “Dear Joc Pederson, I owe you an apology. I dogged you last year and you proved me wrong this year. Man enough to say I’m sorry.”
@21stCenturyTim: “No matter what becomes of this weirdo Rangers season, good on Joc Pederson for weathering the nightmare start to the season and getting back to being a reliable ballplayer.”
Evan Grant: “Joc Pederson has a .960 OPS since May 1.”
@discussbaseball: “Credit to Joc Pederson. After a dismal ‘25 with just 9 HR & -0.8 fWAR, the 34 year old has settled in with the Rangers. 5 HR across his last 26 at-bats…wRC+ is 124 with 8 HR in ‘26.”
@TarikRainey: “Joc Pederson is locked in!!”
@dmn_rangers: “After two-plus snoozefest seasons, the Rangers are suddenly playing a fun, chaotic brand of baseball👀 And Joc Pederson is at the center of it all, as Texas’ winning streak hit 5 games with a 7-4 win in St. Louis.”
