Silliness from Jerry Jones at Cowboys camp; did Rangers get the best Mets ace? Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [2:45] discuss the Rangers’ wild deadline activity, and Evan ranks it among the most significant in his 25 years covering the team. If all goes right, Kevin says, the last three months of the season will dictate who got the best Met: the Rangers with Max Scherzer, or the Astros with Justin Verlander. Kevin and Evan also discuss the lineup. Corey Seager’s imminent return and a surging Mitch Garver should help. David and Kevin [34:15] discuss whether Zeke Elliott really has a future with the Cowboys, and why Jerry Jones keeps pretending he does. David says he expects Zack Martin’s holdout to continue despite the mounting fines. He also says this might be the most well-balanced Cowboys team that has gone to camp in a couple of decades.

[22:50] Evan and Kevin discuss whether Chris Young should go all in on Shohei Ohtani, or if he should spend his assets on multiple needs, namely the bullpen?

Rangers’ rough stretch, Mavs’ draft magic and pondering Kyrie Irving Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

With Kevin away accepting a fancy sportswriting award, Evan and David are left to fumble through [3:50] while worrying over the Rangers’ sudden lack of production in key situations. And while we’re at it, there are maybe a half-dozen Rangers under All-Star Game consideration. Is a huge All-Star delegation what this team needs as it readies for a second-half challenge? [34:21] David has a hot take on the Mavs’ magic of draft day — basically that it shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. And, as always, we ponder: Should the Mavs bring Kyrie back?

Evan credits the hitting coaches for individualistic approaches, while David lauds Bruce Bochy’s leadership. Kevin says Chris Young needs to put his heel on the throat of the rest of the AL West by making deals to shore up the pitching.

Rangers and small ball, Cowboys questions and what Denver’s title means for Mavs Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the topics of the day, starting [4:12] with a bad loss for the Rangers in extra innings Monday.

[43:02] And Denver’s first NBA title begs the question: If the Nuggets can do it with one Euro superstar, why can’t the Mavs?

The Rangers and deGrom’s elbow, Jerry’s snub of Jimmy and golf’s unholy merger Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:58] the topics of the day, starting with the news that Rangers ace Jacob deGrom will miss the rest of this season and most of next year after elbow surgery. Evan outlines the Rangers’ response. Kevin says the acquisition of a closer remains the top priority, but Evan says the market won’t shake out for at least another month. Despite the loss, Kevin says the Rangers’ surprising play has raised the bar. Just making the playoffs is no longer good enough. [26:38] David gives us a sense of what the Cowboys are doing with the offensive line in minicamp, and the guys discuss the fact that Jerry Jones says he won’t add anyone to the Ring of Honor this fall. [44:10] And, holy cow, the PGA Tour-LIV merger!

[17:40] Going forward, Kevin wonders if Pete DeBoer needs to follow league trends and go with a tandem goalie instead of putting so much on Jake Oettinger. Evan crunches the numbers and comes up with the fact that the Rangers are historically good ... and still just three games ahead of the Astros. Can the Rangers sustain what they’ve built so far? [36:41] David explains why DeAndre Hopkins might have been a good fit before the Cowboys signed Brandin Cooks, but not now. And, what, exactly, constitutes a balanced offense?

Show notes

David says they’ve got to get their power play going, and Kevin says he wouldn’t be surprised if the series goes back to Vegas 2-2. [8:04] Evan outlines another collapse by the Rangers’ bullpen while Kevin pounds the table for Chris Young to make a trade ahead of the deadline. [37:04] Kevin and David discuss what the Mavs should do with the 10th pick of the draft: Trade or keep it? And what’s the plan beyond that?

Stars moving on, Rangers moving up and the Cowboys’ 2023 schedule May 17, 2023

David says everything rides on Jake Oettinger, while Kevin thinks the Stars need to ramp up their intensity level. [12:10] Evan analyzes the impact of Corey Seager’s return to the lineup, and the guys debate the biggest surprises of the Rangers’ spring: Ezequiel Duran or Jonah Heim? [38:05] On the schedule release, Kevin says Week 5 against San Francisco will set the fans’ mood until the playoffs. The guys also make their way-too-early win projections for the Cowboys.

Rangers growing up, Micah Parsons branching out and what’s up with the Stars? May 10, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the topics of the day, [8:54] starting with the Rangers’ resiliency when things (e.g., the bullpen) go wrong. Ezequiel Duran and Leody Taveras are two prime examples of what’s gone right. Evan says the Rangers have tinkered with Taveras’ stance, and the results are obvious. Kevin says Duran may have plugged two spots: left field and a backup to Corey Seager at short. David says it’s OK that Micah Parsons is training away from the team, at least for now. [32:30] Kevin worries that too much work at defensive end could wear down Micah’s considerable athletic traits, which is why the Cowboys have tried to make the defense more “Micah-friendly,” David says. [45:40] In the ever-popular potpourri segment, the guys talk this week’s Byron Nelson tournament and wonder if the Stars can bounce back from an awful Game 3 against Seattle.
