The Texas Rangers finally broke out in a massive way — dropping a season-high 15 runs on the Oakland A's in their most complete performance of the year. Host Bryce Paterik breaks down the offensive explosion, standout performances from Wyatt Langford, Adolis García, and Jake Burger, and why this could be the turning point for the Rangers’ 2025 season.

Plus, Jacob deGrom looks like the best pitcher on Earth again — dominating in a vintage outing that could signal he’s truly back. Bryce dives into the metrics, fastball command, and why this start means so much for the Rangers’ World Series hopes.

Too soon to panic? The Texas Rangers hold the best record in the American League at 7-2, but some fans are already tearing the team apart online. In this video, we discuss why expectations need to be kept in check—especially for superstars like Corey Seager—as well as the knee-jerk reactions calling for dramatic roster changes. We’ll dive into why baseball is one of the hardest sports out there (failing 7 times out of 10 can still make you an all-time great!), and how focusing on the negative so early might do more harm than good. Join us as we encourage patience, optimism, and simply enjoying the game we love. Let’s breathe, Rangers fans—there’s a lot of season left!

we’re talking about Jacob deGrom’s masterful first start—five shutout innings, six strikeouts, and still not even his top gear! I’ll tell you why that performance was more impressive than the numbers alone. We’ll also get into Jack Leiter’s first MLB win and how his improved mental game really shone on the mound. Meanwhile, there’s some unfortunate injury news on Josh Jung, and the Rangers’ depth is being tested early.

Despite a few setbacks, the offense is rolling (hello, Adolis García’s scorching bat!) and the bullpen is settling in after some initial hiccups. So grab your Rangers cap, kick back, and get ready for an in-depth look at how the team is shaping up.

Join us as we explore the Texas Rangers’ quest to rebound from a disappointing 2024 campaign, despite winning it all in 2023. We’ll dive into why Jacob deGrom, fresh off Tommy John and armed with a massive contract, is their top X-factor in chasing another postseason berth. Hear how the team’s reliance on in-house pitching and a minimal offseason addition might affect their fortunes, and discover why a fully healthy deGrom could be the spark that reignites the Rangers’ championship hopes.

It’s official. The Rangers have their 2025 Opening Day starter in right-hander Nathan Eovaldi! In this episode, we break down why this decision felt locked in ever since manager Bruce Bochy hinted that Jacob deGrom would start from the back of the rotation. We’ll also dig into what this means for the franchise, as Eovaldi becomes the first Rangers pitcher in 15 years to start consecutive Opening Days—something last accomplished by Kevin Millwood back in 2009.

We’ll explore the revolving door of Opening Day arms Texas has seen since 2010—big names like Cole Hamels, Yu Darvish, and Mike Minor—and discuss Eovaldi’s track record (and spring training struggles) as he prepares for the March 27 opener at home in Arlington. Plus, we’ll touch on the injuries to Cody Bradford and Jon Gray that have impacted the rotation, and speculate on Boston’s likely starters, Walker Buehler or Garrett Crochet. Tune in for a deep dive into all things Rangers pitching!

In this episode, we explore the Texas Rangers’ urgent push to win—and how Jack Leiter’s progress might shape the team’s path forward. They’ve got aging stars like Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Jacob deGrom, and Nathan Eovaldi who are looking to strike while the iron’s hot. Meanwhile, Leiter’s minor league track record is concerning, but he’s shown flashes of brilliance this spring with a 2.25 ERA and improved pitching repertoire.

We dig into why trading Leiter might be a bold yet necessary move. Could flipping him for a proven arm like Sandy Alcantara (fresh off Tommy John and already hitting 100 mph) elevate the Rangers into a legitimate championship threat? Or does sticking with Leiter for the long haul offer a better payoff?

Join us as we unpack the pros and cons of dealing away a former No. 2 overall pick alongside top prospects like Alejandro Osuna and Cameron Cauley—all in the name of securing a World Series–ready rotation. We’ll look at what this trade would mean for the team’s future, how it could reshape the roster, and why these pivotal decisions matter in a win-now environment. Tune in to find out if the Rangers should go all-in for Alcantara or stand by Jack Leiter to become the next cornerstone of their rotation.
