Augenstein to the D'Backs
2008 Silver Hawk pitcher Bryan Augenstein is being called up to the Diamondbacks, and will make his MLB debut on Wednesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.
Augenstein had been in double-A, and was 5-0 with a 0.79 ERA. He will take the place of Yusmeiro Petit, who has been placed on the DL.
Augenstein going up to the majors is what started the trickle down effect, resulting in Trevor Harden being promoted to high-A.
That's probably my only post of today, as I'm going to enjoy the off day now. Back on Tuesday with notes, lineups, etc.

A Tale of Two Games
Interesting start to the Dayton series:
9 runs, 12 hits, and great pitching on Saturday.
1 run, 5 hits, and the pitching struggled on Sunday.
This, my friends, is the beauty of Minor League Baseball. Since we're playing the Dragons, a team I used to work for, let me borrow a phrase from their broadcaster Tom Nichols: You're only as hot as the next day's starter.
What that means is that you might be the best team in the league for 10 days in a row, but if your starter the next day isn't any good, then that winning streak is going to come crashing down. It also means that you could be red hot again, but if the other team's starter is on his game, he can shut you down in a hurry.
Today, it was Dayton's pitcher Matt Fairel who was red-hot, shutting down the Hawks offensively. Bounce back day tomorrow with Trevor Harden on the mound for the Silver Hawks. Harden has been great this season, and it would be nice to take Monday's game to guarantee a split at the very least.

The Bats Are Alive
14 total hits, 8 runs, 4 doubles, 2 triples.
Impressive 8-1 victory for the Silver Hawks tonight over Lansing. Before I talk more about the offense (since it will get all the love), let me make sure I say something about the pitching.
Trevor Harden and Sean Morgan were phenomenal. First of all, Harden allowed just one run in 7.0 innings to become the first Hawks pitcher to reach two wins. And while yes, he did get a lot of support, he continued to set them down even after he had a big lead. Morgan, pitching in relief with the same large lead, didn't mess around. He struck out four batters in 2.0 innings to close it out.
Now, with that said, what a showing by the offense. Alfredo Marte, Nelson Gomez, and Reynaldo Navarro each had three hits, and they all had at least two extra-base hits (Navarro had three). Isaias Asencio added two singles. Nobody let up. When they had the Lansing pitchers on the ropes, the Hawks kept the pressure on and added up the runs.
Good win, doubleheader tomorrow beginning at 6:05, pregame at 5:45. Hopefully the guys will keep it up.
(FYI, Justin Parker's hit in the fourth inning was changed to an error after the game. I feel bad for Parker, but ultimately, I think it's the right call. Although sometimes I disagree with decisions made by the official scorer, keep in mind these guys only get one chance to see the play. There is no instant replay, no monitors to look at multiple angles to get it right. It's one look at it live, try to get it right, and then if need be, change it after the games after talking to the coaches.)

Opening Night Thoughts
- Tip of the cap to West Michigan starter Casey Crosby -- he was simply dominating through 5 innings.
- West Michigan manager Joe DePastino got Crosby out at the right time, he was fading fast, and the Silver Hawks were taking advantage.
- Let's not forget that Trevor Harden pitched a very solid ballgame as well. Eight K's in 5.0 innings is very strong.
- Not a whole lot of offense tonight for the Hawks, but I think that's more of a credit to West Michigan pitching.
- It's one game, don't read too much into it. This team wasn't going to go 140-0, and they won't go 0-140. I'm always amazed at how many people think the world is ending when their team loses on Opening Day. I have news for you: half the teams in the league lose on Opening Day.
I'll have more updates tomorrow, including some pictures from the ballpark and some information about the Fifth Third Burger that I talked about on the air tonight.
