SportsDay Rangers, Episode 31: The one with Robinson Chirinos

After the Rangers' season-opening roster was set, John and Evan break down the final decisions and how playing time might be split at some positions. We also revisit the cool moment of Skip Schumaker informing Carter Baumler that he'd made the team while on the mound in the middle of an inning. Former Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos, the bench coach for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, stops by to talk about the run through the tournament, the work the staff and players put in and the gratitude that washed over him and his countrymen after the win over Team USA. Finally, in the Archives in Arlington, we walk through some 21st Century season openers, including Alex Rodriguez's first game, which foreshadowed a season and an era. And John shares a little surprise about the time Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura talked on opening day - for the first time in nearly 20 years since their brawl. Learn more about your ad choices.
