That's 7/22, 6:05 am (BST). Using previous streak's jokes is a jinx.

I feel like Kumar Rocker has been around for 20 years and he's pitched like 100 innings. I remember hearing about this guy his senior year in HS and then something went down with the Mets on draft night and blah blah blah.

I’d love to see a skit of John Rocker mentoring Kumar Rocker on how to be a big league pitcher.

working title: John and Kumar Go to Queens.

Let me do what I can to help Schultz again tonight. I’ll make the same doofus pregame comments I made his last start, so he can again prove me wrong. I’ll go a little bigger this time:

Why the hell are we pitching Schultz tonight?? It should be Sandlin. Sandlin is clearly better with a higher floor and ceiling. C’mon Venable, go with Sandlin.

I'm partial to Indian Standard Time since the time adjustment is to the half hour rather than the hour. Or Calcutta Time which was determined to be 5 hours, 53 minutes and 20 seconds ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Don't even get me started on Madras Time.

Speaking of India, I feel like Kumar Rocker has been in MLB for a decade but I've never actually seen him pitch.

Nice Zombie Meidroth avatar and yes I know the origin of the picture but the artist is a mystery.

Kumar Rocker is coming off a tough outing (5.2 IP, 7 ER) vs. Houston, but was pitching to a solid ~3.5 ERA until mid June. 90 innings and counting is a career high for him, so the Rangers are probably hoping the break helps him bounce back.

His slider is very good and he throws it 38% of the time. It has a 40% whiff rate and just a .182 average against. Everything else (sinker/cutter/4seam/changeup) is vulnerable to getting hit pretty hard. Velo is a bit below average at ~94mph.

Pretty strong splits, LHB are putting up an .857 OPS against him.

TEX pen is still limited; their top 2-3 are fresh to protect a late lead, but they’ll have some tough choices to make if tied or trailing. Old friend Tyler Alexander is available, so we’ll likely see him.

It is with a heavy heart that I retire ‘Lenyn Sosa Scared of Ball’. Maybe a Blue Jays fan can put it to good use.

Another contender for avatar was ‘John and Gordon Share a Glizzy’.
