Summary
John and Evan break down the Rangers' current issue of getting down early with no pulse thereafter and discuss Corey Seager's reliability. Then one of the best stories of the season, Jacob "High Leverage" Latz joins the guys to talk about his long road to becoming the best breakout story of the season. Latz discusses how his previous challenging experiences prepared him to go from jilted starter to star reliever. And he weighs in on what we should call him for a nickname. Then, in the Archives in Arlington, John leans into the multi-inning closer theme to tell the story of Jim "The Emu" Kern and his amazing 1979 season. Learn more about your ad choices.
