The Frisco Roughriders, masquerading as the RedHawks, lost our first game of the spring 6-5.  According to the RedHawks website, Eric Hurley and Armando Galarraga both had strong pitching performances.   Offensively, probable RedHawk 3B Jared Sandberg and Frisco outfielder, and Hank's little brother, each went 2-3 with a double.

AJ Murray had another strong outing as he picked up the save in today's game after giving up only 1 hit and a walk in 1 inning of work.  AJ's ERA for the spring still sits at 0.00.  Another strong outing by Bruce Chen as well who gave up only 3 hits and 1 earned run while striking out 6 over 3.2 innings.

 Ex-RedHawk Mike Young is sidelined indefinitely after being hit in the helmet with a pitch yesterday.  Mike had to have minor surgery to fix a rip in his ear cartilage.  This occurred the day after Nelson Cruz was hit in the head with a pitch.  Nelson was sidelined today after suffering a dizzy spell.

TR Sullivan has a look at the Rangers bullpen.  His consensus is a lot of questions still remain.  Tell us something we don't know...
