Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle.
This segment is brought to you by Frankel and Frankel
two p one four or eight one seven and then
all threes three three, three, thirty three thirty three.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
They've been doing this for a long time, thirty years
of being advocates for injury victims, chosen by the people
and feared by the insurance companies.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's Frankel and Frankel.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
We'll jump into the Bin and skin wayback machine here
in about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But first, now is cool around the sports? KG Twins has.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
All the sports.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
So Corey Seeger of the Rangers is oh for his
last twenty seven and he's hitting one seventy nine this year.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Not a real good number. Are they gonna send them
to Triple A?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I don't think they're gonna send into Triple A. He's
probably it's probably his contract that he can't be sent there. Yeah,
but he makes thirty two point five million dollars a year.
They signed into a ten year, three hundred and twenty
five million dollar contract. He's in year five of it.
So it's about halfway through. Last night, the Rangers blew
a save, they're winning three to two. They blow a
save in the ninth, so they're down five to three.
(01:08):
Pretty depressing out there. We got the roof open and
start racking up a few hits. But before they get
all these hits in this momentum good energy, Corey Seeger,
the face of the franchise, strikes out, but he stays
in the batter's box, and the umpire has the guy hey, dude,
and then Corey looks up and then he puts his
(01:30):
head down and walks back to the dead, and no
one acknowledges his existence. Skip Schumacher plays the sad guitar.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Good what if he did he was over there with
a guitar and an amp.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It plays it.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Uh yeah, it's pretty bad when your superstars not dealed
in and he strikes out and doesn't even realize it
was the third strike. I did read something about him
that said he was barreling the ball up and good
exitent lossity, and some of the metrics were good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
He's just chasing a bit.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Too much and maybe he makes some adjustments and he's okay,
or maybe, uh, maybe there's something else going on when
a guy is that good and is struggling that much.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Maybe there's something else going on in his life.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You know, there is a real interesting thing to the
component of By all accounts, Marcus Simeon is gone because
of him, now, even if it's not him saying I
want him gone, there was perceived friction and the problems
of it, and so they chose to move on from
Simeon instead of Seeger. So then you carry additional responsibility there.
And then also like when did all this begin, you
(02:34):
guys know, right, like when this all started, the downfall
of Seger this year. No, it started when Biden got
up there and said the power.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Face Corey Seeger. I guess we do know, Yeah, Joe,
that's what everything started. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
On the other way, it's an interesting conversation because Cory
Seger is one of the most accomplished athletes in the
history of DFW, one of the best players in his sport.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I feel zero attachment to him. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He had one of the greatest moments in DFW sports history,
and you know, carried the Rangers to a championship, but
I just don't feel a real attachment to him, and
it shouldn't be on him to not you know, I
think part of that is because he's just boring.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He's just a boring guy.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
But you know, he doesn't need to have Derek Collins personality,
you know, to win over the Metroplex, right, He's he
does that with substance, right not you know, not you
know what I'm saying, Like, I don't know why. I
just feel no connection to him, and I think it's
my fault.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I don't think it is your fault. Here's what I think.
I think if you pulled aside one hundred real Ranger fans, right,
not just the you know, not just the train spotters,
the real fans, and you said, what is your favorite
Ranger team of all time? I bet eighty percent of
them would talk about those teams with Michael Young and
he can learned those guys.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So think about that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Your fan base is more attached to the team that
didn't get it done than the team that did. And
I think that that for one thing, no one at
the trade deadline that year was talking about the Rangers
winning a World Series. They got inredibly hot, and all
of their pitching came together at the exact right moment,
and there was plenty times during that playoff stretch when
(04:19):
people thought the Rangers were done and so that there
was not all this attachment to them. There wasn't this
feeling of we're gonna go do great things. I mean,
it's just like any team going on a playoff run.
The community gets behind it and they get excited and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But it didn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, it was still in the World Series. It's like, Wow,
we're gonna win this thing. The metro books couldn't watch
that team because of the Sports Network.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, you just you had so much attachment with that
other team. You were talking about going back to back
World Series and you knew all the players and they
there were so many homegrown guys and acquiring guys.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was just it was dynamic. It was entertaining.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Look at all we've ever wanted was pitching, and now
we've got starting pitching for the Rangers.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But can't hit.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's the weirdest thing in the world. There's no offense.
It's just boring. The face of your franchise is boring.
And honestly, they haven't been good for like a decade
outside of the year they surprisingly won it all. And
I can't help but think that this could teeter either way.
They could get red hot and then they've got enough
pitching to actually go win a World Series, or they
(05:23):
could fizzle out again, and I could see them being
sellers at the deadline. My kid, They've got three superstar
players that could all be traded at the deadline. Each
one of those guys would bring back a major hole.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
But nobody, none of us would feel or none of
us would be surprised if Seeger suddenly got red hot.
And honestly, he's just chasing.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
A little bit too much. He's again some of those
metrics for him are still good.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You just said something incredibly deep to me. Thank you
that I had never thought about the death of the
regional sports network began with that Ranger team and the
deal Chuck Greenberg signed with Fox Sports Southwest, and then
you fast forward and they finally won a World Series
when no one could watch them. That's incredibly I wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
When also one thing they did last night, open the
roof up two nights in a row, got a little offense.
The last two nights eighty nine degrees, they said, you
know what, let's open the roof up. So they're about
to have a road trip. But when they come back
in late May. I'm going to be following the weather
very closely as I always do. I think, keep the
roof open a little bit, and let's see if the
(06:32):
offense continues to look a little better.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And do you know how much Rollertown is flowing at
Globe Life as well as American Airlines Center, Good friend,
fortunate Son, on and on. But man going to a
Ranger game with the roof open and drinking some roller Town.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, yeah, Texas coming up next. Let's crak up the
wayback machine.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
This week in Ben and Ben and skin Show History,

of that.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Next, before we get there, I want to talk about
our friends at the chalk Tak Casino and Resort in Durant, Oklahoma.
