Episode 116: We Heart Izzy
Isiah Kiner-Falefa is not only good at baseball, he's probably better than you think? Unless you think he's really good, in which case you win this week's episode! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: [email protected] We’re on facebook too!...
-
Episode 115: Sadball
Things have gone very poorly for the Rangers lately, and so Hayden makes everything worse by wondering if Joey Gallo will be part of the next good Rangers team. And if so, what his role might even be. AA Frisco has a fun rotation, most of the time. The draft is like, a month away, so the Rangers...
-
Episode 114: Evan Grant
Welcome to the Rangers Rundown! We are joined by the great Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News for an extended chat about a whole bunch of things, from Yang’s surprising success, clubhouse leadership roles, draft conjecture, and baseball tech. We had so much fun listening to Evan, and we know…

Episode 113: More Adolis
We mostly talk about Adolis Garcia again, and how the Statcast numbers agree that this isn’t a fluke. Stick around for banter and the reveal as to who our special guest will be this Tuesday! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: [email protected]
-
Episode 112: Road Woes
So yeah, the Houston series went very poorly, so we talked a lot about the MiLB box scores. Adolis Garcia is actually kinda elite when it comes to hitting the ball hard, which usually means you’re actually good at baseball. Yankees are coming to town, and hopefully we are allowed to win baseball...
-
Episode 111: Actually Fun
The Texas Rangers might be Actually Good. While there’s still a lot of ball left to play, it seems like this lineup is the real deal. Starting pitching has shown flashes of greatness. Regardless of if you think this is a contending team or not, they are undoubtedly exciting. The second-youngest…

Episode 110: Fenway South?
Max learns the horrifying truth of the new corporate Minors hellscape, Mike explains why Charlie Culberson should be an every-day starter, Hayden takes a nap, and IKF just absolutely will not stop hitting bombs. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at:...
-
Episode 109: More like Broom-Stick
Kyle Gibson pitched well, the offense is still really hot and cold, and the Rangers remain more interesting than the nightmare scenario. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: [email protected]
-
Episode 108: Adolis is More
It's Adolis' world, we're just living in it. The big man has a plan, and that plan is "trying to win baseball games." Join Max and Mike for a spicy dive into the newest Ranger sensation's scorching hot start, an extremely unsurprising examination of IKF's defense, and a stunning revelation about...
-
Episode 107: Not Talking About The Orioles
After this painfully boring losing series against Baltimore, we definitely didn’t want to talk about that. We did notice that Dillon Tate has fulfilled his destiny of being an Oriole, and that brings about feelings. The Independent Atlantic League is going to implement some bold rule changes, and...
-
Episode 106: Well Well Well
Episode 106: Well Well Well We talk Rangers team stats contra the league, Adolis Garcia getting a shot, Kohei's promising start, and pre-ordered our ALCS tickets. Go Rangers! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: [email protected]
-
Episode 105: Silver Linings
After another bang-up series against the Padres, we’re forced to look for some silver linings. Folty was awesome, Dunning is good, IKF is Actually Good… We’re pretty worried about Leody, and we end with an impromptu game of Remember This Guy? Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin,...
-
Episode 104: The Lowe Show
Nate Lowe is the official topic of the podcast from now on, We wish we could build the whole plane out of Folty sliders but alas, Rougned Odor needs to shave and we wish him well, and we've got a new ballpark and it's still taking some getting used to. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown,...
-
Episode 103: They Are Who We Thought They Were
After Texas went 1-2 in the opening series against the Royals, one thing is clear: they are who we thought they were. Twenty-one runs in three games undone by creatively demoralizing pitching. But! The trio of Mike, Max, and Hayden believe there are many reasons to watch the Rangers this season,...
-
Episode 102: WE’RE BACK!
After all this time, the band is back together to talk about Texas Rangers baseball! Rumor has it they’re gonna play 162 games and everything! Can Ronald Guzman carve out a role for himself on this team? How long can Odor stick at third base, truly? How will IKF follow up his breakout season?…

Episode 101: Angrydome
Lance Lynn is still a Ranger and JD said some real stupid things. Suck it, Bob & Ray. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: [email protected] iTunes: https://t.co/9IRwlNBCNo Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rangers-rundown?refid=stpr...
-
Episode 100: Give Me a Reason to Live
Remember, it can always get worse. On the centennial episode with high production value, we deny our present reality by remembering Nomar Mazara, and check in on how his time in Chicago is going. The Rangers might have implicated themselves in a forever-meme with the Slam Diego Padres, and…
more -
Episode 99: Thanks, LAA
So, we’re probably not very good, but then again, we’ve had to play the Best Teams in Baseball. Gallo is good and Montero is good and Lynn is good, so...I guess we’ll see how this mad dash of a season turns out. For some reason, we pre-eulogized Choo. Anderson Tejeda made us feel great, for at...
-
Episode 98: Joey 2020
We talk around the week of Rangers baseball and hit the good stuff and the real stuff and begin our Gallo 2020 campaign. Hope this makes your day better! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: [email protected] iTunes: https://t.co/9IRwlNBCNo...
-
Episode 97: Ian Gibaut
We’re back! After simultaneously losing the will to pretend like we aren’t in 2020, we are back to talk about baseball games that we have all collectively decided count, apparently. Hooray! Jeff Mathis hit a triple, Lance Lynn is a literal beast, and Gallo hit the first homerun in our new stupid...
-
Episode 96: Back To Earth?
The 2010 Texas Rangers seem to be falling back to earth after a 1-6 stretch that saw ineffective pitchers keep course and others trip up. How will this team figure out how to win without the home run? Stolen bases are one way, but is the team running into too many outs? Has converted reliever CJ...
-
Episode 95: Guillermo Moscoso
What is the best medicine for losing? The Baltimore Orioles! The lineup is too stacked. Modern Day Legends walk among us: Ricky Romero, Cla Meredith, and Guillermo Moscoso. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser, @BUHMoney Email us at: [email protected]
-
Episode 94: Runnin Rangers
After an exciting series victory against the Oakland A’s, the Rangers maintain their position atop the AL West standings. Rich Harden is the Harden-est, and CJ Wilson just won’t stop. There’s also the startings of a brand new, cutting-edge metric to evaluate pitchers! From now until the ASG,...

Episode 93: When We Gonna Get Sum Hittin' In Here?
Your first place Texas Rangers, featuring: two top 10 pitchers 1 injured top 10 hitter, get well Nelly How about some League Leaders, incl: Doc Halladay, Tim Lincecum, Andre Ethier, and Brad Hawpe Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser, @BUHMoney Email us at:...
-
Episode 92: Thank You For Calling Your First-Place Texas Rangers
It appears that our report about the sky falling have been greatly exaggerated. Fresh off of a nice stretch of wins, the Rangers find themselves in first place on May 3rd. Josh Hamilton has woken up, CJ Wilson might be kind of an ace (?), and even Rich Harden acted like he knew how to win a...
-
Episode 91: *Sigh*
The Rangers drop two of three versus the Tigers to earn a series split, forged by the tenacity of Colby Lewis and lackthereof from Feldman, Harrison, and the bullpen at large. At this point in the season, more games have been lost via late-inning bullpen meltdown as opposed to a “normal” loss....
-
Episode 90: Two-Game Winning Streak
Okay so the east coast is finally in the rearview mirror, and we’re clawing back to .500 after discovering new ways to lose six in a row. Nelson Cruz is eying a plot of land west of The Ballpark to break ground as the founder of the 50-50 club, and Rich Harden might actually be the worst. Oh, and...
-
Episode 89: No More New York
Look, we hate New York. We’re just glad we don’t have to go back this year. Borbon has lost his leadoff spot. The bullpen is gassed. Nelly is on pace for less than 100 homeruns. And we’re only two games below .500. Stick around for a segment on our recently departed Jumbo Diaz! Follow us on...
-
Episode 88: Love a Short Game
Nelson Cruz is slugging 1.000. No further questions. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser, @BUHMoney Email us at: [email protected] iTunes: https://t.co/9IRwlNBCNo Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rangers-rundown?refid=stpr Streaming:...
-
Episode 87: Nelson Cruz is #OnPace
The 2010 Rangers are off to a 4-3 start to the season, but could easily be 6-1 if not for two uncharacteristic blown saves by Frank Francisco. Is Neftali Feliz in line to take his job? Is Josh Hamilton the answer in Center Field? Why did Max make us listen to Shin-Soo Choo praise for a few…
more -
Episode 86: Highs and Lows
The 2010 Texas Rangers are 2-2 through four games, carried by some great performances (Vlad and Nelly, Wilson and Lewis) and some low ones (everyone else). What do we know, what don’t we know? Baseball is back let’s gooooooo! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser,...

Spring Training! Real baseball! Corey Kluber!

Listen...

Episode 80: Nobody Puts Gallo in a Corner

Episode 78: Final Week
Here we are, the final week of the 2019 Texas Rangers season, and the final homestand at The Ballpark in Arlington. It’s time to get a little retrospective on what happened this season and why, despite having two Cy Young-caliber starting pitchers, the Rangers will end up no better than a .500...
-
Episode 77: Must We Have a 3B?
The episode begins with us checking in on the Astros and yup they’re completely stacked. Sure miss Robinson Chirinos, too. We have a big ol’ funbers dump from around baseball, Nick Showlak is SO for real and he might be a fit at third base but he definitely needs to play every day in 2020. The...
-
Episode 76: It’s September 5th
Hiya! The trio is here to talk about Rangers baseball as they (pretty much) play out the string of an interesting season. AAA Nashville and AA Frisco are cleaning house, Kolby (the K stands for “strikeout”) and Brock wonder what the big deal is about pitching in the bigs. There’s a handful of...
-
Episode 75: Players Weekend
Hey, Hayden’s back! The trio talk about Players Weekend, which somehow leads to talk about vandalism! We’re stoked about Kolby Allard and Brock Burke, and it’s even sweeter when we consider who we gave up for them. We reminisce on August trades that are now illegal, and talk about how much we…
more -
Episode 74- All About That Solak-tion
Nick Solak! Brock Burke! Dick Pills! This episode has got it all, except for Hayden. It doesn't have that. It does have a lot of Willie Calhoun appreciation, though, and that's almost as nice. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser, @BUHMoney Email us at:...
-
Episode 73: That Comeback Sauce

-
Episode 71: Pencils Down
Well, after all that, we traded Chris Martin and got some international slot money. What does it mean that JD didn’t pull the trigger on a Mike Minor deal? IKF is back in the infield, so does that mean the Front Office didn’t see something that the rest of us did? Josh Jung is our #1 prospect...
-
Episode 70: The Cursed Hamate
Hey, maybe we’ll stop kidding ourselves with Rule 5 games as we have DFA’d Carlos Tocci and Kyle Dowdy within the past week. July has been a house of horrors, and well, at least this happened before the trade deadline. Roogie has been good Roogie for the past month-plus, so suck it haters! Hayden...
-
Episode 69- So Nice, We Guested Twice
Mike and Hayden are away this weekend, so Max dusted off ye olde rolodex and called upon two local experts- Kevin Carter and Samuel Hale, both of Baseball Prospectus! The troika sat down and discussed the recent Rangers slump, whether Mike Minor or Lance Lynn is the better trade chip, the Dodgers...
-
Episode 68- No Rules, Just Rage
