Tonight stunk. That was a game that the Silver Hawks were in good position to win, and couldn't hold on. Obviously, anyone that listened to me knows that I'm surprised they stuck with Bradin Hagens as long as they did, but you know, that's baseball. There's certainly not one person to blame. Hagens pitched well but ran out of steam, the coaches wanted to get a longer outing from him, the offense went quiet after the second inning. A loss is a loss, let's move on.
Good News: Lansing and Bowling Green both lost
Bad News: Great Lakes rallied and won
The Silver Hawks remain 3.0 out of first, but are now 2.0 out of the wild card with 11 to play. Full standings update tomorrow on the blog plus a few more thoughts as I try to catch up from my weekend away.

Well, That One Hurt
One strike away from winning the first game of the season, the Silver Hawks gave up 3 runs in the top of the ninth to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
There's really not a whole lot to say about this opening home stand other than ouch! Obviously, six losses in a row to start the year is a big negative. I also think the last two games showed a lot more positives than the previous four did, but the end result is still the same.
Certainly, no one is giving up or writing off the season after six games. Like the players, I'm trying to stay positive as well, knowing that the first win is coming soon. Even still, it gets frustrating for all involved when you get so close and then have it taken away.
Time to regroup a bit tonight, and then out on the road tomorrow. I'll have the call from Midland, Michigan against the Great Lakes Loons at 6:05 PM Eastern tomorrow, with pregame at 5:45 PM.
