  • Good show bad sound

    Recording volume is too low, and often fades in and out.

  • Sound

    Sound level is awful.

    One guy can barely be heard and the other guys are so loud it’s annoying

  • Expert Sports banter with a side of laughs

    Kevin and Evan are fountains of wisdom on local sports. I love the camaraderie of these two. It makes my exercise go by quickly as I plug in and am thoroughly entertained and informed. The guests that are folded in add a nice dose of expertise but Sherrington and Grant are why I come back week after week!

  • Good show but….

    Love the show, but I can’t stand the back and forth banter for the first 5 or 6 minutes of the show. It’s so pointless and so boring, someone needs to tell these guys they aren’t funny. It’s so hard to listen to. Once you get past that part, it’s a good show.

  • Tech Issues

    Can’t believe that a major news outlet is not paying for better tech for these guys. It’s really just Kevin. Dude sounds like he’s calling in from 1997. And they need to stop talking over each other so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SportsDay Rangers Episode 39: The one with Jerry Narron.
Q: What were your initial thoughts coming to Texas in 1995?
We saw a lot of talent in Texas and believed a winning approach could be built with the right people and leadership, which started a run of division titles.
SportsDay Rangers Podcast, Episode 38: The one with Josh Jung
Q: How has Brandon Nimmo influenced your preparation and approach?
Nimmo has been a huge influence, pushing me to study pitchers, understand matchups, and keep the process simple; we talk a lot about what's happening on each pitcher and how to counter it.
SportsDay Rangers Podcast, Episode 38: The one with Josh Jung
Q: What changes have you made this year to improve your batting approach with two strikes?
I focus on touching the ball and not trying to do too much, using reps in the cage and early BP to simplify, which has slowed my swing and improved my contact rates.
SportsDay Rangers Episode 37: The one with Jake Diekman
Q: What propelled you to get into coaching so soon after you left the field?
Diekman described a natural, ongoing love for baseball and the satisfaction of teaching, mentoring, and seeing players click when they apply his instructions, which motivated him to pursue coaching at the high school level.
SportsDay Rangers, Episode 33: The one with Rod Barajas
Q: What does Skip Schumacher bring to the Rangers as a manager and leader?
Rod describes him as an incredible communicator who is open, honest, and creates a top-to-bottom, collaborative environment where players and coaches feel supported and challenged, with a readiness to address issues in real time.
