## Resource

With April coming to a close, John and Evan consider what went right in the first month and what didn't. Josh Jung: Big hit. Jacob Latz: Ditto. But what about Globe Life Field seems to have gotten in the Rangers' heads. Then Kevin Mench joins the show for some memories of his seven-game home run streak back in 2006 and also to get some head-size abuse from John. Do we need to file a report with HR (Head Resources)? Finally with a weekend of firings around baseball, John creaks open the archives to find times when the Rangers changed managers early in the year and why. Learn more about your ad choices.
