Check out Fran Duffy's 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/ It was going to happen eventually — Jacob deGrom and Brandon Nimmo were going to play this spring for the Texas Rangers. The debuts arrived Wednesday against Team Brazil. The Rangers started deGrom on the mound after his All-Star season, and Nimmo was the leadoff man and right fielder behind his former Mets teammate. For deGrom, he allowed a solo home run and two other hits in two innings, striking out three, and Nimmo went 1 for 2 with a single and a walk. Both felt fine afterward and said they will be ready to go on Opening Day, March 26 against the Phillies.  0:00 - Intro 1:04 - Camp rundown and reaction to the run-rule victory over Brazil 19:18 - deGrom and Nimmo made their debuts today 32:21 - Battle for bench roles 47:09 - Batting cleanup - news and notes around baseball An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS:  WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:  http://DLLSLocker.com  FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:  Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Jacob deGrom hasn't gotten started yet this spring, though by design. He's healthy and expects to pitch soon. Nathan Eovaldi pitched Monday, though in a simulated game rather than face the Guardians in the Cactus League game. He was making his third start of spring training, scheduled to go four innings. The Rangers have also made several roster moves and have multiple injury updates.   #mlb #springtraining #texasrangers #texas   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Get the best coverage of the Big Game and become a Diehard today! https://alldlls.com/intro-offer-youtube     The Texas Rangers didn't have to worry about Jack Leiter over the offseason. He earned his rotation spot last season, going 10-10 with a 3.86 ERA and showing improvement in the second half. He isn't complacent with his breakthrough 2025 and is looking for small ways to make big improvements in 2026. He has added a cut fastball to his arsenal and is hoping he can finish off innings sooner so that he can work deeper into games. He's part of a deep rotation that could be one of the league's best. He starts Saturday. Will Josh Jung and Corey Seager be in the lineup?

Become a Diehard today for just $36 for the first year! https://alldlls.com/spring-training-offer/   Wyatt Langford is stepping into the spotlight as the Texas Rangers build their 2026 campaign around his rise. Now in his third MLB season, the 24-year-old outfielder has earned the full confidence of manager Skip Schumaker, who has said Langford possesses the traits of a future American League MVP. After posting 22 home runs and 22 stolen bases in 2025, Langford is working to reduce strikeouts, lift his batting average, and take on a stronger leadership role in the clubhouse. Schumaker is reshaping his responsibilities, with plans for Langford to play center field and potentially bat leadoff, a spot once held by Marcus Semien. Supported by Corey Seager, Josh Jung, and veteran Brandon Nimmo, Langford's growth is central to Texas' playoff ambitions.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

What if the fastest way to steady your life in uncertain times is to serve someone else? In this episode of The Lit Up Life, I sit down with Mike Bourgeois to talk about servant leadership, volunteerism, and what happens when you choose to give back in seasons that feel chaotic or heavy. Mike shares the stories that shaped him, from Big Brothers Big Sisters to Make-A-Wish, to building a skate park that brought kids together after COVID, and even supporting projects that create sustainable change through access to clean water and resources. This conversation is not about being perfect or saving the world. It's about remembering that when you lead with humility, listen deeply, and show up with real intention, you change lives, including your own. How giving back helps regulate fear and brings you back to peace The unexpected way volunteer leadership strengthens your leadership at work Why serving without ego creates real community impact and lasting fulfillment If you have been feeling restless, disconnected, or caught in the noise of the world, this episode will remind you what is still true. Purpose is often found in action. Subscribe and listen to Season 8, Episode 2 now, and let this be your reminder that service is not an extra thing. It is a path back to clarity.

Manager Skip Schumaker joins to talk about the state of the team heading into the first spring games, including a handful of young arms who have flashed and could be closer to the big leagues than expected as camp continues. Schumaker also discussed adapting to new elements this spring, including how he plans to use the ABS system during games and how live batting practice has been a highlight of early workouts. Off the field, the baseball world was rocked this week when MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigned amid union leadership turmoil and an ongoing investigation, leaving negotiations and the union's future direction unclear. An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS: WEBSITE:https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:http://DLLSLocker.com FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Seager didn't dive into details, but he said that he and Semien had mutual respect for each other and were professionals on the field. Semien has been traded, and new manager Skip Schumaker hopes to create a new clubhouse culture. More competitors than complainers, more inflators than deflators. Brandon Nimmo figures to play a role in that, and on the field he figures to be the Rangers' leadoff hitter. 00:00 - INTRO01:20 - Camp Roundup18:08 - Corey Seager on Team Chemistry32:25 - What Brandon Nimmo Can Bring47:07 - Batting Cleanup An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS: WEBSITE:https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:http://DLLSLocker.com FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Become a Diehard today! https://alldlls.com/join/ The Texas Rangers agreed to a one-year contract with left-hander Jordan Montgomery, reuniting with a key member of the team's 2023 World Series championship rotation. Montgomery's deal is reported at $1.25 million with performance bonuses, and he is expected to begin the season on the injured list as he continues rehabbing from hybrid UCL surgery. Montgomery missed the entire 2025 season after the surgery, but when healthy he was a major contributor to the Rangers' title run, posting a 2.79 ERA in 11 regular-season starts and winning two ALCS games. The move adds veteran depth behind a rotation headlined by Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, MacKenzie Gore and Jack Leiter, with Montgomery projected to be ready around midseason as a second-half option. An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS: WEBSITE:https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:http://DLLSLocker.com FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Their 2025 seasons were either bad or disappointing or both, but new hitting coach Justin Viele isn't seeking massive gains. Small steps will go a long way. Also, did the Tarik Skubal arbitration win make it more imperative for the Rangers to sign Jack Leiter to a team-friendly. Pitchers and catchers are always the first to work out at spring training, but the focus this year for the Texas Rangers is their offense. They made changes in the offseason, but really need internal improvements from three hitters. 00:00 - INTRO01:57 - Keys To Lineup17:50 - Rangers Lineup Predictions24:40 - Rangers News31:50 - Tarik Skubal Won Arbitration47:11 - Batting Cleanup An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS: WEBSITE:https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:http://DLLSLocker.com FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Second base. After trading Gold Glove winner Marcus Semien to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo, the Rangers chose to look inward rather than outside the organization to fill the opening. Five players are in the mix for the lone position battle of camp, with Josh Smith viewed as the early favorite. But as a left-handed hitter, Smith could wind up in a platoon with Ezequiel Duran, Cody Freeman, Sam Haggerty, or Michael Helman. Cody Freeman joins the show to talk about his offseason work, his expectations heading into camp, and how he views the competition at second base. We also look at how the Rangers might deploy the position once the season starts and whether a platoon approach makes the most sense. An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS: WEBSITE:https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:http://DLLSLocker.com FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Become a Diehard today! https://alldlls.com/join/ The Texas Rangers open spring training in eight days, and they will head to Arizona without a closer. They have candidates, though none is proven. Free-agent adds Chris Martin, Alexis Diaz and Jakob Junis could get chances, along with 2025 holdover Robert Garcia. The Rangers will also need some young arms to blossom, and that group is headed by Cole Winn. Also, a busy weekend around baseball left us to wonder if the Rangers missed out on any of the players involved in signings and trades. An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS: WEBSITE:https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:http://DLLSLocker.com FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Judson prepares to celebrate his birthday. Brian attends his daughter's first fashion show as a designer. Judson clarifies what he means when he uses the term “Duck Toast” to describe a man's physique. Brian provides an update on the effect Lexapro is having on his sexual performance. The Hookup of the Week follows the international adventures of a listener who has opened his marriage after more than 20 years. Brian and Judson are then joined by Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and NY Drama Critics Circle awards-winning comedy writer for stage and screen, Robert Horn. Robert shares incredible stories from throughout his life, ranging from the time he set his home on fire as a child to the underground way in which he maintained contact with his sister after they were sent to separate orphanages, to his sexual awakening while at the orphanage, to the impact the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization made on his life. He tells them about his move to Manhattan where he made money any way he could–legal or not, his move to Los Angeles where his TV writing career took off, and his most recent chapter writing hit after hit on Broadway and the West End. Robert talks about his marriage to his true southern gentleman husband John, his thoughts on the evolution of queer culture, and the challenges of aging as a gay man. To close, Robert helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who continues to fall for straight men and wants help putting a stop to the pattern.
