Texas Rangers radio announcer Eric Nadel recently hosted an AMA "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit. Here are some highlights:

Question: As someone who has been around baseball a while and was around to see the rise of the "moneyball" movement, what is your take on it and how do you think the Rangers organization has responded to the analytics movement?

Nadel: The Rangers are very proactive using analytics and Jeff Banister is the best manager I have seen at utilizing the new numbers. It seems almost every day he teaches me something along these lines. The Rangers were doing all this for years, but [Ron Washington] really wasn't [interested] in taking it into his game management.

Question: It's clear that 2014 to 2015 marked a bit of a new era for this team. Do you agree? In your time here, watching the twists and turns a team makes as a whole, what seasons or moments, hirings, firings, signings, or trades marked these sea changes for you?

Nadel: I think [Jon Daniels] and his team have been doing an exceptional job for years and Wash was a great manager in his own way. With Bani coming on board, I think the whole organization is now more on the same page. And now he has a coaching staff that he selected, so it should be even more cohesive.

Question: Besides the 2010 ALCS pennant win, what's your favorite call you've ever done with the Rangers?

Nadel: Nolan Ryan's 5,000th strikeout. It was the first time I got to call a dramatic moment and since we didn't televise that game, my call [was] used on all the national TV shows and my friends and family around the country got to hear it.
