The Double-A Midland RockHounds are on the hunt for their fourth straight Texas League championship this year, but they’re off to a rocky start at 8-10.
Of course, to make the league’s playoffs you only have to win the division in the first half or the second half, so in a way these games truly don’t matter as long as you take care of business later in the summer. Case in point, the Hounds were below .500 in the first half last year, but then got hot after the break and dominated the rest of the way and throughout the playoffs.
