Welcome Back Baseball
Welcome Back Baseball
The 2023 MLB season is starting soon, with our Texas teams looking to make it to October. Rip previews the defending World Series Champions, the Houston Astros, as they look to be the first team to repeat since the New York Yankees did it in the late 1990s. The Texas Rangers will look like an utterly different team in 2023 as they finally have their ace and a pitching staff that will hopefully get them into October.

Offense Goes Cold
Offense Goes Cold
In this episode, Rip recaps the week in MLB and MiLB baseball. The Houston Astros got their offense off to a hot start to start the season but has since cooled off. They looked to get back to form as they open the 2022 season at home for the first time this season in the upcoming week.
The new-look Texas Rangers have gotten their offense going this season, but the starting pitching has not been up to par. The Rangers are hoping for a change of fortune as they hit the road in the upcoming week.
