The Double-A Midland RockHounds are struggling through a tough 2017. After winning three straight league championships, they sit 47-54 this year as most of their big names have disappointed. They missed out on the first-half division title and stand in last place so far in the second half, so they’re a long shot to make the playoffs at all.
Even a bad team can have a couple of good days, though, especially in the minor leagues where the landscape can change quickly. After getting rained out on Saturday, the RockHounds played a doubleheader Sunday against Corpus Christi and then another game Monday against Frisco.
