About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome in Texas Rangers hitting coach Bret Boone (1:07) ahead of his side's series against the Blue Jays in Texas. He discusses his adjustment to the staff side of the game since getting hired earlier this month, what he's learned in his time with the team and his hitting-coach philosophy. Then, Jeff & Kevin get into the urgency for the Jays in this series and how they can top the premiere pitching in Texas. Later, Rangers analyst Evan Grant (28:15) sets the stage for the series and weighs in on why Texas' offence has dried up, what Boone brings to the clubhouse and Nathan Eovaldi's leadership for the rotation.
