Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker joins the show as spring training games are about to begin, and he covers everything happening inside camp. Schumaker talks about Evan Carter's physical growth and mindset entering camp, why Brandon Nimmo could be a major influence in the Rangers outfield, and how the team plans to be more aggressive on the bases in 2026. He explains why players will have the green light, what second tier speed really means, and why he does not want guys playing tight. There's also insight on the young pitchers attacking hitters, why comparing prospects to Craig Kimbrel is tricky, what he looks for once games start, and how the new coaching staff has already made an impact inside the clubhouse.

Become a Diehard today! https://alldlls.com/join/ The Texas Rangers kick off Cactus League play Friday after a week of pitchers and catchers workouts and plenty of activity for position players. 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!

Get the best coverage of the Big Game and become a Diehard today! https://alldlls.com/intro-offer-youtube   The story that won't go away was hopefully put to bed Monday morning when Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager met with the media and discussed his relationship with Marcus Semien after an offseason filled with innuendo. 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!

Rangers Spring Training is underway. What should the team focus on?

In hour four, Hoch and Crowder discuss if they're patient enough to properly trim a Bonsai tree at Funky Buddha. Hoch reads the lines, injury report, and prop bets for Heat vs Hawks, also for the Bulls, who play in Milwaukee vs the Bucks. Plus, Hoch briefly forgets who the Marlins manager is and thought Skip Schumaker was still the manager of the team.

12pm hour of The K&C Masterpiece! Skip Schumaker and the challenges that lie ahead for him and the Rangers. Scouting the Panthers. Cowboys Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer speaks to the media.

What changes and challenges could lie ahead for the rangers new manager in an uncertain 2026?

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt try [00:19] to put the Cowboys' win over the Jets into perspective. On one hand, it was the Jets, a truly bad team. On the other, Chicago isn't great, either, and the Bears walked all over the Cowboys. Only a couple weeks after saying they'd be lucky to win five games, Joe now says his glass is “half-full,” if only because the offense is so good and the defense couldn't be any worse than it was the first three games. Kevin and Evan discuss [25:30] what difference Skip Schumaker can make and rank the biggest needs. (Hint: It's not pitching). And [51:35] if the Sooners' John Mateer really is back for Texas-OU, the Longhorns could have a long afternoon at the Cotton Bowl. Learn more about your ad choices.

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the Rockies parting ways with GM Bill Schmidt, which direction the Rangers will go in after naming Skip Schumaker as the new manager, and how the ability to challenge balls and strikes next year will affect the emphasis that teams put on pitch framing. Listener question topics include whether we're headed for a quiet offseason with next year's CBA negotiations looming, how late-season runs by teams like the Guardians will affect how teams approach the trade deadline, which free agents could be signed and flipped next year by a bad team, and who the realistic free-agent targets are for the Orioles.

RUNDOWN   Are Seattle sports are even fun anymore? Six hours “chewing my fingernails and losing hair.” Mitch and Scott argue about what “fun” in fandom really means, roast Matt Brash for his walk-filled chaos, and marvel at the weirdness of Seattle beating Tarik Skubal yet again. Mitch welcomes Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over-Slot / Future Stars Series) for a fiery Mariners No-Table as Seattle heads to Detroit tied 1–1. They rave over Jorge Polanco's two-homer night off Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal and the team's resilience, then dissect Dan Wilson's bullpen management in Game 1, Bryce Miller's usage, and the decision to start George Kirby. The group debates Matt Brash's shaky late-inning trust, Julio Rodriguez's base-running and clutch turnaround, and whether the Tigers or Mariners now hold the upper hand as the ALDS resumes. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) for a heated Seahawks No-Table after Seattle's gut-wrenching 38–35 loss to Tampa Bay. The trio debates how Mike Macdonald's defense—ranked among the NFL's best through two weeks—got completely schemed apart by Baker Mayfield. Mitch rips the lack of pressure from Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams, the blown coverage across the secondary, and the failure to get a stop with the game on the line. All agree: Sam Darnold looked spectacular, throwing four touchdowns and confirming his franchise-QB credentials even in defeat. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after an emotional weekend that saw his son Jerry Neuheisel call plays for UCLA in the upset win over Penn State. Rick describes watching from the CBS studio as his phone exploded with messages, reliving the moment as both a broadcaster and a dad. He shares the behind-the-scenes timeline of Jerry being handed play-calling duties, his pride in how the Bruins responded, and the joy of seeing his family's work pay off. From there, the conversation turns to the broader college-football landscape — Penn State and Texas now facing uphill climbs to the playoff, Notre Dame's renewed path, the Huskies' comeback win in Maryland, Florida's bounce-back under Billy Napier, and previewing the week ahead with Oregon–Indiana on CBS.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Fingernails to Fun Forest: Mitch and Hotshot Debate Whether Sports Are Still Fun After Six Brutal Hours of Seahawks and Mariners Angst 12:15 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:46 | Mariners Split, Seahawks Stumble: Mitch Calls It “Inexcusable,” Hotshot Still Finds Hope in Detroit 32:01 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Polanco Powers Mariners Even, Wilson's Moves Debated as Series Shifts to Detroit 55:21 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Defense Collapses in 38–35 Shootout: MacDonald Takes the Blame, Darnold Shines in Defeat 1:20:50 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; A Proud Papa Moment — Rick Neuheisel on His Son's Play-Calling Debut and a Wild Weekend in College Football 1:51:20 | Other Stuff Segment: Michael Bennett defends Russell Wilson and says Richard Sherman's criticism is personal animosity, debate over whether Russ deserves the Hall of Fame, Mark Sanchez stabbed in Indianapolis parking dispute involving pepper spray, 49ers backup QB Mac Jones discovers a dead body outside his hotel before Thursday Night Football, Texas Rangers part ways with Bruce Bochy and promote Skip Schumaker, Jay Cutler released early from DUI jail after trying to pay off a fender-bender with $2,000, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's reported split includes a “no-cocaine bonus clause,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gets early Oscar buzz for The Smashing Machine as MMA fighter Mark Kerr, Lionel Richie claims Michael Jackson was literally nicknamed “Smelly,” Mitch realizes the real-life fighter from The Smashing Machine went to Syracuse the same time he did.

The Dallas Stars have begun to seriously consider leaving Dallas with an uncertain future at American Airlines Center beyond 2031. The Stars have been in discussion with Plano, Frisco, The Colony, Arlington and Fort Worth as potential destinations to build a new arena. In other news, look close at the men serving barbecue in an upcoming episode of Season 2 of Landman. They're real Texas pitmasters, called up for their first acting gigs. A few months ago, the owner of Hurtado Barbecue, Brandon Hurtado, and three of his employees spent a day on the set of Landman, acting as extras; also, the Texas Rangers' managerial search didn't last long, and the team didn't have to look far. Skip Schumaker will move from the front office, where he served as senior advisor to President of Baseball Operations Chris Young, to the dugout. Schumaker signed a four-year deal through the 2029 season; and Dallas is the fourth most expensive rental market in Dallas-Fort Worth. That's according to a Wednesday report. The report, published by rental marketplace Zumper, analyzed active listings from the last month to rank cities by how expensive they are now and how fast their rents are growing.
