Podcast appearances and mentions of Kumar Rocker

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Saturday from a betting perspective. They open by focusing on the early matchup between the Tigers and Rays. Both lean toward Tampa Bay, highlighting Ryan Pepio's strong recent form—3.11 ERA over 15 starts and 11 strikeouts in his last outing. Pepio's underappreciated market value and Detroit's surprising top MLB record are discussed, with consensus on Rays at -120. For Orioles vs Yankees, Clark Schmidt is praised for allowing only three earned runs across four recent starts. Zach Eflin, although historically solid against the Yankees, struggled in his last outing. Both lean toward Orioles as underdogs and prefer the under 9.5 total due to Yankee Stadium's scoring tendencies. In Reds vs Cardinals, Sonny Gray's strong home record (5-1, 2.85 ERA) contrasts with his struggles against Cincinnati (4.70 ERA). Without a Reds starter listed, Griffin leans toward the Reds due to line inflation. Munaf might back St. Louis if run line odds are favorable. Seattle at Chicago is discussed with attention to wind's effect at Wrigley Field. Emerson Hancock has pitched well recently, but the Mariners lost his last four starts due to poor run support. Cade Horton's 2.70 ERA at home is noted. Both hosts await wind direction before betting, with a potential over expected. In Milwaukee vs Minnesota, Quintana's inconsistency and walk rate are flagged, while Richardson is labeled a weak rotation fill-in. Despite concerns, both see value in Brewers at plus money. For White Sox vs Blue Jays, Berríos' strong history against Chicago (14-6, 3.16 ERA) supports Munaf's best bet: Jays -1.5 run line at -105. Griffin notes the White Sox's poor weekend performances and questions their motivation. Rangers vs Pirates features concerns around Kumar Rocker's splits (15.09 ERA on road) and Mitch Keller's unreliable late innings. Despite bad offenses, both expect a high-scoring game. The Braves visit the Marlins in a matchup where Grant Holmes is riding a 15-strikeout game. Yuri Perez has struggled mightily vs Atlanta. Both favor a Braves team total over as their offense heats up. Kansas City faces San Diego with Dylan Cease showing volatility. Royals are praised for recent form, including a sweep of Texas, and bullpen strength. Hosts lean Royals ML and under in the first five innings. Mets vs Phillies highlights Griffin Canning's struggles—10 earned runs in his last two outings—against Mick Abel's potential. Philadelphia is seen as cheap at -112, with both supporting the home side. In Arizona vs Colorado, Merrill Kelly's dominance (7-0, 1.60 ERA vs Rockies since 2022) is emphasized, including a 2.03 ERA at Coors. Yet due to rising temperatures and Palmquist's late fade, they suggest betting over. Astros vs Angels is discussed with Walter's solid last start (6.2 IP, 1 ER, 9 K) and Soriano's overall reliability. However, the Angels' 1-5 record vs lefties at home tilts the pick to Astros at -110. Guardians vs A's offers little confidence. Luis Ortiz's high walk rate and Mitch Spence's Triple-A quality result in a lean toward the over and a mild interest in the A's if plus money improves. Nationals vs Dodgers sees Jake Irvin's night game struggles (5.16 ERA) and Dustin May's inconsistency. The hosts recommend Dodgers team total over or full game over. Lastly, Boston visits San Francisco with Brayan Bello consistent and Landen Roop unproven. While Giants are tough at home, the under 7.5 is the preferred angle due to low scoring projections. Griffin's best bet is Rays ML behind Pepio, while Munaf backs Berríos and Toronto on the run line. The episode closes with promo code RBI20 for a discounted betting package.

Kumar Rocker made his return to the rotation thanks to the help of pickle juice. What are your hopes for this stint with the big league club?

12pm hour of The K&C Masterpiece! What are your expectations for Rocker in his current stint on the major league club? What DFW athletes deserve a street named after them? Is Jason Robertson staying?

From Twisted Root Burger Company shoutouts to Bruce Bochy's epic mound meltdown, this episode is packed with flavor, fire, and full-on hilarity.A cramping Kumar Rocker downs pickle shots mid-game, prompting Skin to ask the real question: “Do you think his sweat smells like pickle juice?” Cue the asparagus jokes and a deep dive into the science of weird body smells.Bochy vs. Rojas: When a White Sox player chirps from third base during a long injury delay, Bochy unleashes a profanity-laced tirade. “It was hard to read his lips, but I sensed a ‘Who are you?'” Tiger Woods Time Machine: A rain delay at the U.S. Open leads to a surprise rebroadcast of Tiger's legendary 2008 win, sparking a heartfelt discussion about his dominance—and his drama. “That was prime Tiger. Right when he started smashing everything… including records.”Caitlin Clark = Tiger Woods? The crew draws a bold comparison between Caitlin Clark's impact on the WNBA and Tiger's influence on golf. “She's a milder. Look at what she's doing for our sport.”

Evan breaks down the plan for Kumar Rocker and the re-emergence of Marcus Semien before the guys sit down with former Rangers pitcher Darren Oliver, who is now a special assistant in the front office. Darren discusses playing or working for the last five Rangers GMs, dating back to Tom Grieve, being traded for the first time and winding up smack in the middle of the Great Home Run Chase, his transition to a new career as a reliever and what Rangers minor league pitcher he's most fascinated with at the moment. From the Archives Vault, John takes us back to the first interleague game in MLB history and how he spun a timing quirk into a major event. Learn more about your ad choices.

Over in pitching, Sugano continues to be a bright spot for the Os, Kikuchi finally notches his first W as an Angel, and Kumar Rocker is staying a starter, so stop spreading rumors! Ohtani news has a huge turn this week with his first live BP, and equally importantly he finally dons a good outfit in NYC.

The Stars win Game 3 against the Avs. The Rangers lose to the A's after another Kumar Rocker shaky start. The Peyload!

Texas Rangers vs. Athletics MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Rangers at Athletics 10PM ET—Kumar Rocker will start for Texas. Rocker in four starts on the year carries an ERA of 6.38 and WHIP of 1.47.

Around the league, it was a week of firsts! First, Kim Ng (the first female GM in MLB history) has a new gig, and Kim's first Dodger game of the season at Korean Heritage Night is chaos. Then, onto player news! Position players were in Home Run Derby mode with multiple guys getting their first long ball of the season (including some Asian-on-Asian crime), Steven Kwan hits a 2-run homer within a minute of Corbin Carroll's grand slam, and Tommy Edman thrives in the leadoff spot.In pitching, Kumar Rocker notches his first career W, Joey Cantillo gets his first career save in a big spot, Yoshinobu Yamamoto matches his career-high SO in a pitchers duel against one of the best arms in the game, and Yusei Kikuchi continues to get the Angels' treatment that plagued Ohtani. Speaking of, congratulations to the Ohtani family on the birth of their first child! Now can everyone chill out on this baby's future until she's been on earth a little longer?!

Rangers have played three series at home this season.  Two have been sweeps in the other they took three of four games from the Boston Red Sox.  Add it up and the home record is 9-1 after a sweep of the Los Angeles Angles after a DOMINATE performance by Kumar Rocker. JOIN THE DLLS DIEHARDS! https://www.alldlls.com/join-diehard

On March 31, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds delivered a resounding 14-3 victory over the Texas Rangers in their series opener at Great American Ball Park. The game showcased an explosive offensive performance, led by the electrifying Elly De La Cruz, who put on a clinic with a single, double, two home runs, and a career-high seven RBIs. De La Cruz also added a stolen base and scored four runs, demonstrating his dynamic presence on both sides of the ball. His teammate Matt McLain complemented the onslaught, going 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBIs, and four runs scored, further fueling the Reds' dominant night. The Reds' pitching was equally impressive, with Brady Singer taking the mound and silencing the Rangers' bats. Singer tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit while striking out eight, providing a masterclass in efficiency and control. His performance set the tone early, giving Cincinnati's offense ample room to build an insurmountable lead. The Reds' bats erupted for 14 runs, a stark contrast to their sluggish start to the season, where they had averaged just 3.33 runs per game over their first three contests. For the Rangers, the loss marked a stumble after a strong 3-1 start against the Red Sox. Rookie pitcher Kumar Rocker, making his first MLB start, struggled to contain Cincinnati's lineup, and the Texas offense couldn't muster a response against Singer's dominance. The game, which unfolded under a chilly 43°F Cincinnati sky, ended with the Reds firmly asserting their potential. This blowout win not only snapped their early-season funk but also set an optimistic tone for the series ahead, highlighting the Reds' ability to combine stellar pitching with a suddenly awakened offense.

Texas Rangers fall to the Cincinnati Reds in Kumar Rocker's MLB Season Debut. Elly De La Cruz proved to be a problem in the first road trip of the season.  Kumar Rocker and the Texas Rangers allowed two touchdowns while managing just a field goal in a 14-3 loss in Cincinnati. JOIN THE DLLS DIEHARDS! https://www.alldlls.com/join-diehard
