John and Evan are back with an EMERGENCY drop of the pod to account for the crucial final week of the season. We wonder how Skip Schumaker is going to navigate what's left of his starting rotation and the job he's done in that regard. Then we welcome in Josh Hamilton, who had a hand in so many Rangers postseasons. We talk about him closing out his career with the Rangers with a heroic final week in 2015, that dropped ball in 2012 and the voice that helped him retire. We also want to know, since Prince Fielder is already on board, will Hamilton participate if we can drum up a Rangers Legends Home Run Derby? Learn more about your ad choices.
