Roster News

I've unofficially heard that Brian Budrow will be back in the Silver Hawks bullpen, and that J.R. Bradley tweeted that he is coming to South Bend.  I also saw that Derek Eitel was slated to come to South Bend, but will now be headed to Visalia.  All this information was gathered via social media sites or through personal emails.

So there's two names.  23 to go.

Our hope is that the roster is announced tomorrow.  If not, I'd say Saturday or Sunday at the absolute latest.  When I know something, I'll get a press release sent out, put it on our website, and link you to it from this blog.

From the Notes - August 24th

Season Series: 8-5 Silver Hawks
@ Coveleski Stadium: 5-1 Silver Hawks
@ Bowling Green Ballpark: 4-3 Hot Rods

Silver Hawks Team Hitting: .245 – 15th
Silver Hawks Team Pitching: 4.43 ERA – 14th
Hot Rods Team Hitting: .258 – T-7th
Hot Rods Team Pitching: 4.32 ERA – 13th

LAST GAME: Andrew Wolcott (WP, 2-3) pitched seven innings allowing just one run and Ender Inciarte drove in three to lead the South Bend Silver Hawks to a 6-4 victory over Bowling Green on Monday night. Bobby Borchering tacked on a solo homer – his 12th of the season – to guarantee the Hawks at least a split of the series. Brian Budrow (SV, 4) got the final two outs to earn the save. Tomas Francisco had two RBIs to lead the Hot Rods while the loss was pinned on Bowling Green starter Kyle Lobstein (LP, 8-7).

PLAYOFF RACE:
• With 14 games remaining, the Hawks are currently 4.5 games behind West Michigan for the final playoff spot.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES:
• Keon Broxton continues to lead all of baseball with 19 triples. He has tied the MWL record for most triples in a season (established in 1954 by John Wyre of the Clinton Pirates).
• Ender Inciarte has hit in 10 straight games, tying his career long.
• Reliever Brian Budrow has not allowed a run in his last 15.2 innings pitched – a season high for him.

OTHER: Tyler Skaggs is expected to pitch 2-4 innings tonight, and be followed in relief by Derek Eitel.

August 18th Roster Move

Good afternoon. We start the day of posts with a roster move.

3B Matt Davidson - Promoted to Visalia.
RHP Derek Eitel - Joins Silver Hawks from Missoula.
OF Chris Jarrett - Joins Silver Hawks from Missoula.

The full article can be read in the headlines section of www.silverhawks.com.

My Take: Ouch! Nothing against the two players coming in, but losing your cleanup hitter and team leader in virtually every offensive category hurts no matter how you slice it. However, that's the way Minor League Baseball works and this team will have to find a way to rally without Davidson's big bat in the lineup.

Eitel and Jarrett both went to college in the state of Indiana, and put up impressive collegiate numbers. The numbers in Missoula weren't overwhelming, but hopefully they'll bring renewed energy to the club.

Eitel is expected to pitch in relief tomorrow after Tyler Skaggs makes his Silver Hawks debut. Jarrett could be in the lineup either today or tomorrow I would imagine.
