Cowboys’ epic pratfall, Rangers’ defense and a State Fair classic Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [1:13] discuss the worst Cowboys loss in the history of their storied rivalry with the 49ers and the fallout. The gap has only widened between the two NFC rivals. Has the team lost faith in Mike McCarthy? Dak Prescott? How they respond to a difficult Monday night game on the road against the Chargers will be telling, Kevin says. David calls it a “crossroads.” [28:07] Going into Tuesday’s Game 3 against the Orioles, the Rangers can count on a vastly improved defense this season, the most underrated aspect of their success, Evan says. The guys discuss the influence of Evan Carter on the rest of the lineup as it becomes more selective. [49:35] And Kevin waxes poetic over an exciting Texas-OU game capped off, as usual, by an exquisite Fletcher’s corny dog.

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [00:30] whether it was a good idea for the Rangers to pop corks after clinching the playoffs before Sunday’s final game. They also make their predictions on how the Rangers handle Tampa Bay in the Wild Card Series. [28:25] David says the Cowboys are better prepared for the 49ers than they were in either of their last playoff exits, though Kevin says their red zone issues can be traced to the makeup of the roster. In other words, not enough size in skill positions. [44:28] And Kevin and David riff on another disastrous road game by the U.S. in the Ryder Cup as well as the CFP ramifications for Texas-OU, the greatest annual sporting event in Texas.

Cowboys, Rangers reverse fortunes and a lovely potpourri Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss [2:10] whether the Rangers will win the division. Kevin says the recent resurgence by Jose Leclerc and Jonathan Hernandez may be enough to carry what has been a woeful bullpen. Evan even says it could make them unbeatable. [24:18] The Insiders discuss the Cowboys’ stunning loss to the Cardinals. David puts first blame on the defense, while Kevin says the offense still lacks identity and maybe misses Zeke Elliott, who’s coming back to town Sunday. [47:04] And in the potpourri segment, Kevin and David discuss the Mavs, Kevin outlines Texas’ hopes and Evan acts bored.

Cowboys raising bar, Rangers’ bad bullpen legacy and Deion, Deion, Deion Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [2:15] discuss the rising expectations for the Cowboys because of their defense after two games. Kevin says because of Micah Parsons, the best Cowboy since at least Larry Allen, national pundits are more likely to believe in the Cowboys’ Super Bowl chances. The guys also talk about how the Cowboys exemplify complementary football, and this is what Mike McCarthy was talking about when he got criticized for what he wanted to do in the off-season. [18:52] Evan puts the excruciating numbers to the greatest bullpen failure in history and how that impacts the Rangers’ playoff chances and how this season will be remembered. [36:02] And the fellas marvel at the $100 million SMU raised the week after announcing its pending move to the Atlantic Coast Conference as well as the impact Deion Sanders continues to make in his short time at Colorado.

Show notes

Kevin asks David if the Cowboys’ have ever had a pass rush this good. David notes the last time the Cowboys started with a win this big and where that led. (Hint: It was pretty super.) [27:20] Suddenly, after all the gloom and doom, the Rangers are back in the playoff chase. Evan sets up what a playoff rotation might look like and how that affects the bullpen. Kevin wonders if it could impact the closers. [47:05] And Kevin beguiles the guys with tales of Tuscaloosa as the fellas try to determine what a win over Alabama means in the great scheme of things.

Underrated Cowboys, the Rangers’ awful bullpen and the problem with Deion Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss [3:18] the Cowboys’ opener on the road Sunday against the Giants. Kevin and David think computer models are shortchanging the Cowboys at nine wins. Kevin also gives Mike McCarthy credit for taking advantage of what the Cowboys’ personnel does best: run the ball and play defense. [23:24] Evan provides the limited alternatives at Bruce Bochy’s disposal to fix his bullpen, one of the worst in club history. Evan even suggests bringing up Evan Carter to replace Leody Taveras in center. [51:54] And the guys discuss the undeniable impact Deion Sanders already has made at Colorado, which doesn’t excuse the post-game pressers.

Show notes

[45:10] And Kevin celebrates SMU’s imminent move to the ACC, even as Evan and David rain all over the Mustangs’ parade.

Cowboys’ inverted rookie class and the Rangers’ vanishing bullpen Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore [2:15] discuss the impact to date from the bottom of Will McClay’s last draft, led by Deuce Vaughn, and what still needs to come from top pick Mazi Smith. Kevin and David also argue the merits of the starters getting preseason playing time. [29:45] Kevin and Evan Grant mull the Rangers’ losing streak and not one but two blown saves by the bullpen in Monday’s loss to Arizona. Kevin says it’s time for Aroldis Chapman to take over the ninth from Will Smith, with Jose Leclerc jumping ahead of Smith in the pecking order, too. Evan says it’ll be a fight from here on out to hold onto first place.

[14:15] Evan and Kevin discuss the impact of Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton on the pitching staff as well as the changing of the guard among Rangers’ prospects and how internal competition has changed the dynamic. [32:48] David explains how Zack Martin and Jerry Jones resolved the All-Pro guard’s holdout, and Kevin and David make big predictions for the littlest Cowboy of them all, Deuce Vaughn.

Cowboys kickers, Josh Jung’s thumb and a perfect storm for the Rangers’ drought Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [3:00] discuss the question of what to do about Cowboys kickers. Kevin wonders if it was really a good idea to give up on Brett Maher. David says they ought to draft a kicker every year. Meanwhile, Zack Martin’s fines keep climbing in his holdout. David says the Cowboys almost surely have to cave. [16:24] Evan gives the breakdown, so to speak, on Josh Jung’s thumb and how the club’s depth has allowed it to overcome injury after injury. That depth of talent, along with a three-ring manager, deep-pockets owners and an aggressive GM, is the perfect storm of events that Rangers fans have never enjoyed, Kevin says, and bodes well, Evan adds, for the future of the state’s baseball rivalry.
