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!

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 better pick a college pitcher, pretty please. Unless they don’t because all they do is draft bats now. Hold onto your butts. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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 you will too. Go Rangers! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser

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: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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 games again. Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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 and second-cheapest roster is attracting a lot of eyeballs, and they have delivered. Oh, and there’s also some reeeeeeal interesting action resuming in Frisco and Round Rock these days, Before jumping into all of that, we eulogize/bemoan the end of the Pujols era in Los Angeles. Wow.

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.

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: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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 Shohei Ohtani that definitely will still be true by the time Max finishes editing and publishing this pod!

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 we don’t really think they’re good ideas! The Angels and (World’s Best Athlete?) Shohei Ohtani are coming to town this week. Padres vs Dodgers is awesome. Go Rangers! Go Kyle Gibson..?!

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: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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.

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, and two of ‘em are starting games against Toronto this week. Plus, we remind you that minor league baseball will be a thing once again! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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? Does this team employ a single pitcher who is Actually Good? We get into it! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: RangersRundown@gmail.com

Lance Lynn is still a Ranger and JD said some real stupid things. Suck it, Bob & Ray.

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 nothing is fun. We talk about the unwritten rules and how we deserve to be laughed at. But at least the Yadiel Rivera era has begun in Texas! Follow us on twitter: @RangersRundown, @SvelteMarvin, @cmichaelkinser Email us at: RangersRundown@gmail.com

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 least one day. Also….don’t think about Mike Minor! Nothing to see here! Who do you think is the Most A’s player? What about who has never played for the A’s? How old do you think Taijuan Walker is? Trivia fun in today’s episode!

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!

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 park! Hooray! Who knows how this is going to play out, especially with the expanded playoffs that we are still a little shaky on understanding. But anyways, we’re here, you’re there, the Rangers are playing baseball, and that’s pretty great news. Go Rangers!
