Welcome to SportsDay Rangers!
Long-time Dallas Morning News Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant has teamed up with Rangers senior advisor and team historian John Blake for a new podcast. Our two hosts bring nearly 70 years of combined experience covering the Rangers to the pod.
John and Evan discuss the season’s end and the decision for Bruce Bochy & Rangers to split up. Evan breaks down the challenges the new manager faces & the list of guys not named “Skip Schumaker” who might be candidates. The guys discuss Bochy’s place among Rangers managers.
Then Robbie Grossman joins the guys to pay tribute to what Bruce Bochy meant to the 2023 World Champions and give his favorite BBQ recommendations for Houston.
