Riders win their 10th in a row

The RoughRiders have won 10 games in a row. That's something that isn't easy to do but yet they've done it. They won by a final of 4-3 and swept the series against the San Antonio Missions (Padres). Hans Crouse started for the RoughRiders and pitched one inning. He walked CJ Abrams and then gave up a two-run home run on a 2-2 pitch to Eguy Rosario, who had the interference called against him in the Riders 5-4 walk-off win on Saturday. The final line for Crouse was 1 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 SO. He

Mission accomplished: Hans Crouse AA debut

One of the Texas Rangers top pitching prospects, right-hander Hans Crouse made his AA debut for the Frisco RoughRiders. I am a big fan and have been since he was drafted in 2017's 2nd round by my favorite team! The RoughRiders only managed to get one hit. However, that was all that was needed- thanks to some stellar pitching. They won this game by a final of 1-0 and move to 8-4 on the season and extend their win streak to two games. Hans Crouse AA Debut Hans Crouse only pitched an inning. Th

Frisco RoughRiders win on Armed Forces Day

It was Armed Forces Day at Riders Field and a beautiful day for baseball. The day saw a season-high 4,747 fans come fill the seats. This was the 2nd start that I have seen of right-hander Tim Brennan. He was cruising through the first two innings. Through two, he had struckout three and had two groundouts and a fly-out. The third inning is the one where things got away a little bit. After a strikeout and a groundout, Centerfielder Ross Adolph hit a single to left and then hit the next batter.

Youth Movement: Davis Wendzel & others added to 60-man

This afternoon our Rangers made several moves with their 60-man player pool. They started the youth movement by assigning Davis Wendzel along with outfielders Bubba Thompson and Steele Walker, to the alternate site. This is what some fans, including most of us at The Prospect Times, have been calling for. Not that all of these guys will play. There will have to be other moves made to the roster for these guys to play. But it's nice to dream. Davis Wendzel Davis Wendzel was drafted by the Ran

Around the Farm: Updates on the Rangers minor-league teams

Around the Farm I have been slacking majorly the last couple of days. For anyone going to Frisco tomorrow or Sunday, I will be there covering the games. If you see me, be sure to say "hi". There have been quite a few prospects doing some good things in the first couple of games. The purpose of this post is to highlight these players. One thing you will notice about the pitching performances the first couple of nights throughout the farm is the number of walks. These pitchers are not issuing f
