In this episode
After dissing the Oscars — Kevin Sherrington loves Gary Oldman, but ‘Mank’ is as wooden as Joey Gallo’s bats — they discuss Sean Lee’s career (4:50) and how his selection in 2010 set a pattern of second-round gambles. David Moore says they have to fix the defense, but the guys are unanimous (15:40) that if Florida tight end Kyle Pitts is available at 10, they should take a true difference-maker, as Evan Grant calls him. One of the only Rangers making a difference is Adolis Garcia (22:52), yet the guys nitpick him. Kevin wonders if he’s communicating with the other outfielders, and Evan critiques his cross-over step. Finally, (31:08) Evan and Kevin discuss whether going back to LSU is really going home for Kim Mulkey and what it means for Baylor.
