The Dont-Quit-Your-Day-Job team is here again for another edition of Amateur Broadcast Theater. In this episode, we called the Sunday, July 27th matchup between the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves – a win that would secure our 2nd consecutive series sweep. This time Christopher gets a home run call. So, sit down, strap in, and let’s play ball.

The Rangers have miraculously un-slumped, and a playoff appearance is closer than it’s ever been. While the younglings realign our postseason hopes, the league eyes team realignment and expansion. In this episode, we build our own dream divisions that completely upend everything baseball traditionalists care about. Robbie says it’s all about geography, Tony says it’s all about the money, and Christopher is outside yelling at the clouds.

Wallow with us in the doldrums as we ponder if Tony was right – will the Texas Rangers miss the postseason? Will we overcome the lack of clutchness? Just how tired is the bullpen? Can the Little Rascals make baseball history? Robbie takes us on the season-long journey of offensive mediocrity, Christopher is already non-tendering Heim and Bombi, and Tony thinks Skip should be the new skipper.

Texas Rangers POBO, Chris Young, displayed his ninja-like negotiating skills again with only hours remaining in this year’s trade deadline, and we came away with three shiny new toys. In this episode, we showcase our three new arms – Danny Coulombe, Phil Maton, and Merrill Kelly. Also, we get way out of hand on the Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell references in this one.

Nine teams debuted their City Connect 2.0 jerseys this season (sorry Cubbies we forgot you) and our takes are as hot as these fresh threads. In this episode, we rank our favorite new City Connect jerseys from SF, HOU, WAS, COL, MIA, CHW, BOS, and AZ. Christopher brings his most obscure Remember This Ranger, Tony introduces a spicy new segment, and Robbie hypothesizes the Rangers’ 2.0 City Connects coming in 2026.

The ceremonial second half of the baseball season has started, and some of us are a little more trigger-happy at the trade switch than others – Tony. In this episode, we shine a light on a couple Home Run Derby controversies, develop a system to implement the swing-off in regular season games, and argue whether the Rangers should buy or sell at the deadline.

The Rangers’ season may have been built from too many stats on the backs of baseball cards, and we’re starting to feel the offensive frustrations nearing the All-Star break. In this episode, we expel heaps of hot air in an attempt to solve the mystery of the missing run production. However, as bad as the bats have been… the pitching. My god, the pitching. Tony also plays a little devil’s advocate with the coaching staff.

We did what every baseball fan has dreamed of doing, most of us since childhood, and it will be the first of many times. In this episode, The Ranger Zone became your, sort-of, live broadcast team for the Sunday, June 1st rubber match against the St. Louis Cardinals. We set up shop in the studio, watched along and delivered poetic prose as we channeled our inner Eric Nadel. Tony even gets a home run call.
