About this episode

John and Evan discuss the struggles of the Rangers and interview David Murphy about the team's dynamics and his experiences.

John and Evan once again try to pin down the identity of this Rangers club as it struggles to get over the .500 hump. Once again, another road trip causes issues. And Evan expresses concern about the rotation's sudden inability to pitch deep into games. What's the potential fallout from that? Then Rangers broadcaster and former outfielder David Murphy joins the two-timer club for a visit about Evan Carter, the mystery of the Rangers offense, hitting lefties and what trauma going back to St. Louis caused him. Finally, with the Sheraton Arlington being imploded, John digs deep into the Archives to find stories of visiting team hotels and the fellas share some of their own Ranger road hotel tales.
