It's going to be an interesting month, month and a half until the trade deadline with the team back to 500.

And we'll see where they go from here.

They're showing signs of life, at least, and they start a series today with Kansas City Royals in Arlington.

And joining us now in the ticket hotline to keep the Ranger talk going is the skipper.

Bruce Bochy. morning hey good morning

to you guys how are y'all doing okay we're doing great thanks for the time what are you up to this

morning well I'm just sitting there whittling on a little piece of leather I pulled off a saddle bag and

I'm just kind of shaving it down to something I can chew on,

try to keep the existential dread away and the anxiety that I feel about the disappearing

western frontier, you know, where all the land is settled and there's no place I can just take my

horse where there's no cell service, just regular stuff, regular morning.

Just another morning. Just another morning.

Just another morning.

Well, things are picking up.

You guys are back to 500.

You just swept the white socks?

We did.

And I'm glad we swept the white socks.

It's not a personal accomplishment for me, you know.

I mean, it really just makes my artery-clogged

heart swell just with happiness for this team. It's full of a great, great bunch of guys. And I just

want to see them do well. You know, I feel a little paternal with Wyatt and some of the younger ones,
