Hans Crouse made first start in Frisco
Hans Crouse, the right-hander who's ranked as one of the Rangers top pitching prospects, took the mound in Frisco for the first time last night. I would have guessed he would have pitched four innings since he's pitched an extra inning in each of his first three starts. He pitched three innings in his last start against the Midland RockHounds and allowed his first run at the plate. The RoughRiders came into this game with a 17-9 record. Now they've got a 17-10 record and have a half a game lea

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
