Ep .041: Beast of the Best (Part 4)

The fourth and final installment of Beast of the Best has cometh, and it might be the most depressing. In this episode, we visit the last three positions available – pitcher, catcher, and designated hitter. And what if I told you names like Nolan Ryan and Yu Darvish aren’t on this list? Well, you’d be as flabbergasted as we were to learn who outshined their single-season WAR accolades as a Texas Ranger.   LINKS: Spotify ⚾ https://bit.ly/41njqFi  Apple Podcasts ⚾ https://apple.co/4gmfoRW  YouTube ⚾ https://bit.ly/3BmuqIv  Amazon Music ⚾ https://amzn.to/4g6KUno  Podbean ⚾ https://therangerzone.podbean.com/ Instagram ⚾ https://instagram.com/rangerzonepod  Twitter ⚾ https://x.com/rangerzonepod/    MUSIC: Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/disco-food  License code: RHYDCNMMW2OFWNQH https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-bodgers/the-headlines License code: 4U6UOJEFYSDZHLEZ

Ep .040: City Connect Camisetas de Béisbol: ¡Viva Tejas!

The newest threads of Nike’s City Connect program are here and we’ve got inflammatory opinions. In this episode, we describe in painful detail every nook and cranny of the seven new City Connects, including, of course, your Texas Rangers, rather – Tejas Rangers. We also give our top-3 personal rankings, but which one takes the cake? San Diego’s fireberry and marigold accents? Pittsburgh’s dagger-based font treatment? Milwauk… just kidding, we know it’s not that Wisco garbage.   SHOW NOTES: Bluebonnet Jerseys ⚾ https://bit.ly/4tsYPtH  San Diego Jerseys ⚾https://bit.ly/4ddykT5  Kansas City Jerseys ⚾https://bit.ly/4dtT7D4  Pittsburgh Jerseys ⚾https://bit.ly/48OZPkn    LINKS: Spotify ⚾ https://bit.ly/41njqFi  Apple Podcasts ⚾ https://apple.co/4gmfoRW  YouTube ⚾ https://bit.ly/3BmuqIv  Amazon Music ⚾ https://amzn.to/4g6KUno  Podbean ⚾ https://therangerzone.podbean.com/ Instagram ⚾ https://instagram.com/rangerzonepod  Twitter ⚾ https://x.com/rangerzonepod/    MUSIC: Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/disco-food  License code: RHYDCNMMW2OFWNQH https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-bodgers/the-headlines License code: 4U6UOJEFYSDZHLEZ

Ep .039: FOOOOOOD!

You can have your peanuts and Cracker Jack, we’ll take the chicken-fried hot dog served on a biscuit with gravy. In this episode, it’s FOOOOOOD! We bring you all the wild, wacky and worrisome food coming to Globe Life Field this season, as well as some other delicious dishes from around the league, like the Pig Kahuna, the Blooperito, the Glizzilla, the Bratwurst Smashie and many more mouth-watering concoctions straight from the pre-diabetes dreams of Wilford Brimley.   SHOW NOTES: Rangers Food ⚾ https://bit.ly/4sT10X0 Diamondbacks Food ⚾ https://bit.ly/41TGRW2 Mariners Food ⚾ https://bit.ly/4cMgC91  Braves Food ⚾ https://bit.ly/4tPzlI9    LINKS: Spotify ⚾ https://bit.ly/41njqFi  Apple Podcasts ⚾ https://apple.co/4gmfoRW  YouTube ⚾ https://bit.ly/3BmuqIv  Amazon Music ⚾ https://amzn.to/4g6KUno  Podbean ⚾ https://therangerzone.podbean.com/ Instagram ⚾ https://instagram.com/rangerzonepod  Twitter ⚾ https://x.com/rangerzonepod/    MUSIC: Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/disco-food  License code: RHYDCNMMW2OFWNQH https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-bodgers/the-headlines License code: 4U6UOJEFYSDZHLEZ

Ep .038: Beast of the Best (Part 3)

The third, and second-to-last, installment of Beast of the Best hath arriven – and it might be the saddest one in the four-part series. In this episode, we travel beyond the base paths into the outfield to discuss why and how Juan Gonzalez stole two MVPs from Ken Griffey (or a handful of other players in the ‘90s), froth at the sight of Adolis Garcia’s 1.000+ OPS in the 2023 postseason, and discovered that as long as Josh Hamilton didn’t have two strikes in the count, he hit anywhere between .288 and .636.   SHOW NOTES: Emily Jones Farewell (Podcast) ⚾ https://bit.ly/4tbYkF5 Emily Jones Farwell (Instagram) ⚾ https://bit.ly/3Qm4mUY    LINKS: Spotify ⚾ https://bit.ly/41njqFi  Apple Podcasts ⚾ https://apple.co/4gmfoRW  YouTube ⚾ https://bit.ly/3BmuqIv  Amazon Music ⚾ https://amzn.to/4g6KUno  Podbean ⚾ https://therangerzone.podbean.com/ Instagram ⚾ https://instagram.com/rangerzonepod  Twitter ⚾ https://x.com/rangerzonepod/    MUSIC: Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/disco-food  License code: RHYDCNMMW2OFWNQH https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-bodgers/the-headlines License code: 4U6UOJEFYSDZHLEZ

The amateurs are back in the broadcast booth for 2026.

In this episode, we get home runs from the two newest additions, Brandon Nimmo and Andrew McCutchen, and a 5-inning no-hit performance from another new addition, MacKenzie Gore.
