AJ Alexy promoted; Yerry, Snyder and Sherten Apostel to Triple-A

Huge congratulations to each of A.J. Alexy, Yerry Rodriguez, Nick Snyder, and Sherten Apostel for their promotion to Triple-A Round Rock. None of these promotions really come as a surprise. Of the four players, Nick Snyder is the only one that is not on the Texas Rangers 40-man roster. AJ Alexy: RHP AJ Alexy had been money this season on the mound for the RoughRiders. Remember,  AJ Alexy was part of the deal that sent Yu Darvish to the Dodgers. Turns out that ALexy may be a huge pick-up for t

Sam Huff hit a massive home run

Frisco, TX - There it is, the power of Sam Huff. A crowd of 3,583 was on hand to witness the Frisco RoughRiders lose in 10 innings 7-6 to the Springfield Cardinals, the Double-A affiliate of the St Louis Cardinals. They also saw the mammoth home run that Sam Huff hit that they will never forget. It traveled 495 feet and exited off the bat at 111 mph. I dont know if I will ever see another ball hit in that spot or that far in a game. The home run was his 1st of the season. Here's a recap of the g

RoughRiders lose three in a row, Winn off to CO

The RoughRiders lost by a final of 5-1 to the Arkansas Travelers (Mariners). The RoughRiders are on the wrong side of a streak, as this is their third loss in a row. Their record is 36-20 and they still have a commanding 8.5 game lead over the 2nd place San Antonio Missions. I don't say that with too much confidence as that lead can disappear quickly with 64 more games to play this season. On the Mound We've had a slight change of plans to the rotation for the rest of this series. Cole Winn (

Hans Crouse loses no-hit bid in top of the 6th

RoughRiders fans filled the seats, packed the berms and the Lazy River at Riders Field. It was largest crowd of the season.  A crowd of 7,610 to be exact. The RoughRiders expect to see another big crowd tomorrow. On the mound Hans Crouse is one of my favorite pitching prospects in the Rangers farm system. In our top prospects article that we did for fun, we have him ranked as the number # 6 prospect in the Rangers farm system. The right-hander was hitting up to 95 MPH from what I saw. The r

Riders win ninth straight game on First Responders night

Frisco, Texas June 26th - 4,785 fans made it out to Frisco in the 92 degree heat to watch the Riders win their 9th in a row. Those of us that stuck around saw a wild finish. The RoughRiders won on a interference by the 2nd baseman with the Riders 2nd baseman, Jax Biggers. On the mound Cole Winn looks like the Rangers top pitching prospect. He started the game with a 2-3 record and a 2.56 earned run average. He lowered his ERA to 2.27 and that is 2nd best in the Double-A Central. Through 4 in
