## Resource

As the Rangers' arduous season-opening stretch enters its final week, John and Evan join the angsting over the Rangers offense. Seems almost like it's a theme. Or maybe its own special. Then former Rangers reliever Jake Diekman, the latest of the legions of former Rangers now coaching high school baseball, joins us to talk about his new career (with the best backdrop any guest has ever had). Diekman also talks about his battle with ulcerative colitis and how he continues to help kids dealing with it. And about the chemistry created in bullpens. Finally, John cracks the code on the Archives vault to tell us about the Rangers' back-to-back one-hitters in 1996. The guys also pay tribute to John Sterling and Ted Turner and the contributions both brought to baseball. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
