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. ThA look at the RoughRiders Series against the Missions
What's in store for the RoughRiders as they head to Nelson W. Wolff Stadium in San Antonio for their first series on the road against the Missions? We'll go over some of each team's numbers and some of what can be expected. To start, I believe we will see Hans Crouse take the mound soon in some capacity. It likely would be out of the bullpen to protect that arm and ease him back into things. But keep an eye on that. The Frisco RoughRiders have a 7-4 record on the year with one game to be made
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.
RoughRiders suffer 1st shutout after brilliant start by Winn
The RoughRiders were handed their first shutout of the season last night after a brilliant start by Winn. A good crowd was on hand, including Colby Lewis, to watch the top pitching prospect in the Rangers farm system. This was my first time to see Cole Winn pitch in person and he didn't disappoint. Most of my time was spent behind the lense of my camera but from my view behind home plate, it seemed that he was getting squeezed on some of his pitches. I was especially impressed when he was able

Game 5/120 recap: Riders lose two in a row
As quickly as they won three games, the RoughRiders lose two in a row to the Midland RockHounds (Oakland Athletics). They tried to rally for a comeback win but fell short by a final of 16-9. The RoughRiders are now 3-2 on the year. On the mound Right-hander, Yerry Rodriguez, made his first start for the RoughRiders. He didn't last very long as the RockHounds were jumping on him. The first pitch of the game went over the left field wall for a home run. Then he struck out the next three batters
Game 3/120 recap: Bubba Thompson has career high RBI game
What a special game Bubba Thompson had tonight. Bubba Thompson had a career high RBI game with 5. He caused all sorts of problems for the RockHounds pitching staff. He went 3 for 4 with two home runs and five RBI to help the Riders move to 3-0 on the season. On the mound Tyler Phillips got the start for the RoughRiders. Phillips is a familiar face around Riders field. He pitched here in 2019. Phillips was sharp tonight. He pitched 4-shutout innings allowing two hits and one walk. He struck ou
