## Resource

The Texas Rangers are betting big on Kumar Rocker’s potential by deploying him behind an opener — and the early results are stunning. In two games with this setup, Rocker boasts a 1-0 record and a microscopic 1.42 ERA, striking out batters and limiting hits. Contrast that with his struggles when starting: six losses, a 5.00 ERA, and more walks and runs. Manager Skip Schumaker’s rolling the dice again for Sunday’s game, sacrificing a reliable reliever for a shot at wins in a tight playoff race. If it works, this unorthodox strategy could be the key to turning their season around. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
