Ep .017: Step On A Crack, Break Your Baseball Bat

Just how silly is baseball? A long history of unwritten rules and superstitions would prove it silly. In this episode, we speak about the unspoken and break down some of baseball’s most unbreakable rules. We also unveil a new recap segment, build our own 5-tool player, and get a surprise appearance from a little birthday boy.

Ep .016: Knights of the April Roundtable

April has come and gone and we wish we did a little better, but .500 isn’t too terribly bad for the first month of play. In this episode, we go under the microscope and catch up on our catching duo, head scratch on our inability to hit with runners in scoring position, try to pull Tony off the Joc Pederson panic button. We also find out what each other would do if they won the lottery – not communism, Robbie.

Ep .015: Buy Me Some Peanuts & Cracker Jack

A new baseball season brings so many new things – most deliciously, new ballpark food.

Also, we debate the ownership of defunct team histories and recap the opening series.

Ep .014: Hodgepodge Minisode

We might be a little behind on this one, but we couldn’t leave you hangin’ this week after we skipped our recording session on March 30th to watch the Rangers defeat Boston. In this episode, we finally release the Luka tapes! We also talk trading cards, specifically a Paul Skenes rookie card, and Tony surprised Robbie and Chris with some impromptu trivia.

Half way through Spring Training and we’re already hitting the panic button.

Ep. 011: Pontificating Preseason Prognostications

Spring is springin’ and the Rangers are in Surprise, AZ. Before any preseason ball took place, we made our predictions for how the team will fare, who’s got the most to prove, why we all think the Lastros are missing the playoffs and more. We also remember, and hear, some of the greatest sports moments in history.

Ep .010: Tune In and Turn On the Boob Tube

Who thought watching our World Series champs would be so cumbersome for cord-cutters? NOT ANYMORE! This episode, we break down the deal with Victory+ as well as the old deal with Bally Sports. Also, Tony reminds us that Sammy Sosa was one who got away from the Rangers, and we’re all upset that Ichiro wasn’t a unanimous Hall of Famer.

Ep .009 Thebullpenisgood

The Rangers are bringing the bats this season, but what about the arms? In this episode, we get acquainted with the new and existing relief pitchers who will try to carry over one of the only bright spots from 2024. Also, Robbie brings tales from Fan Fest, we lament about Rōki Sasaki, and we put you through a painful discussion about what animal we’d be.

Ep .008: Seven O'Clock In My "Joc Talk"

Joc Pederson brings more than a boisterous personality to the Rangers. In this episode, we walk and talk the Joc – detailing his 10-year career as a mighty bat and infectious on-field fun factory. Did we mention he beat the DisAstros in a World Series? Robbie tries stumping Tony and Chris with trivia about -j names, hall of fame, and back-to-back World Series "rangs."
