SportsDay Rangers, Episode 30: The one where Ian Kinsler returns

About this episode

John and Evan discuss the Texas Rangers' spring training, featuring an interview with Ian Kinsler about the team's second base situation.

John and Evan continue to whittle away at the biggest questions of spring. Evan is pretty high on how the Rangers have wandered, er, walked in the desert And he also offers his potential starting lineup. And the fellas sum up the WBC. Spoiler alert: Nobody's mad. Then Rangers Hall of Famer Ian Kinsler stops by to become the first member of the two-timers club and discuss the Rangers second base situation and the vibe Kinsler has heard about all spring. Finally, in the Archives in Arlington, we stroll down the lane of memorable season-opening moments, including the one where the Rangers were pulled off the field under a hail of baseballs and why Johnny Oates didn't leave his haunted hotel room.
