Summary
The Texas Rangers are crushing it with their new opener strategy, sending Tyler Alexander out just one inning to set up Kumar Rocker — and it’s working wonders. Rocker’s early-inning ERA was a nightmare (almost 10) before this tweak, but since adopting the opener approach — which paid off big in Colorado back in May — his overall ERA has dropped from over 4 to under 4. Manager Skip Schumaker credits the setup for smoother starts and boosted confidence, proving that small adjustments can unlock big performance gains for a pitcher.
