  • Outstanding chat. Great insight on Rangers and Buck. Sure wish we had a Yu on DL coming back in May.

  • Interesting Chat Dan, though I started to wonder if Evan was covering the Rangers or the Astros when he went on about Carlos Correa for so long. Do you feel that things are contentious between Buck and Dan? I thought the prevailing thought around here is that they work well together, its interesting to hear an outsider's take on it. I know this is a new format for you, but I'd like to request you try to improve the audio quality in the future. Anyway, I'll keep listening if you keep posting.

  • Nomar Mazara is the real deal...A pure, natural hitter with good power, and he's rock solid in the outfield. The sky is limit for this kid.

    Now let's see how long it takes him to reach Harper-status! Lol
