Opposing hitters are crushing them with a .921 OPS, and the team’s first-inning ERA sits at a brutal 6.66. It’s not one pitcher’s fault—it’s a team-wide issue, affecting starters like deGrom and Rocker alike. Manager Skip Schumaker admits it starts with him, knowing early dominance is key to setting the tone. While pitchers hold opponents to under 3.21 ERA after the first, the damage is done by the fifth inning, as pitchers overwork themselves trying to get through the lineup again. The cycle’s deadly: early deficits force the offense into passivity, which fuels more pitching woes. Without fixing this, the Rangers’ season could spiral out of control.
