SportsDay Rangers, Episode 33: The one with Rod Barajas

After the Rangers' sweep of Seattle, John and Evan break down the hits (and the lack of them) and the excellent pitching that marked the first homestand of the year. What a difference it makes to have MacKenzie Gore in the middle of the rotation. Rangers quality control coach Rod Barajas, who caught for the Rangers for three seasons, joins the guys to talk about his long working relationship with Skip Schumaker, his take on the night the seat really hit the fan in 2004, that almost magical season and how he "forced" Schumaker to retire as a player. When John cracks open the Archives in Arlington, a big night for Pudge Rodriguez spills out. John thought he was about to see history. He's seen a lot of it. Learn more about your ad choices.
