Good morning...and what a good morning it is. The South Bend Silver Hawks are tied for first place with the Great Lakes Loons in the Eastern Division (and since the Loons have already wrapped up a playoff spot, that means the Silver Hawks are alone in first ahead of all the other teams still in the hunt).
Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. There are still 64 games to be played in the second half. But I'd much rather be in first place after six games than in last place.
A quick update from the parent club: The Diamondbacks fired manager AJ Hinch and GM Josh Byrnes last night. Kirk Gibson will take over as the interim manager and Jerry Dipoto will serve as the interim GM.
As of now, this doesn't really impact the Silver Hawks. However, once a permanent GM is selected, then that could have a fallout effect that reaches down all the way to the lower levels of the minors. We'll wait and see what happens in that regard.
In the meantime, enjoy first place!
