July 9th Roster Move
RHP Kevin Munson added to the team after being drafted in the fourth round this June.
SS Chris Owings placed on the DL with plantar fasciitis retroactive to Tuesday, July 6th.
Full story on www.silverhawks.com.
This gets the Silver Hawks back up to 13 pitchers, and the only thing surprising about Owings on the DL is that it's taken this long for him to get there, after having not played the entire second half.

Christmas in July
Despite the temperatures soaring above 90 degrees, tonight is "Christmas in July" at the Cove! Fans can receive $2 off a bleacher ticket by bringing an unwrapped gift to the game that will be donated to Toys for Tots. Also, Santa will make a visit to spread holiday cheer. Below is a video of Silver Hawks players sharing what their favorite Christmas present they've received is.
July 7th Roster Move
OF Alberto Diaz promoted to high-A Visalia.
OF Ender Inciarte rejoins the Silver Hawks from short-season A Yakima.
Full story can be read at www.silverhawks.com.
Inciarte brings a little bit more speed and defense to the Silver Hawks, and hopefully a stint with Yakima will help his average. He was hitting just .140 with South Bend earlier this season.

Interviews
As mentioned earlier, we'll have an interview with Keon Broxton in the pregame show today.
I also had a good chat with Bradin Hagens in the dugout today, and he feels horrible about throwing the ball out of the stadium last night while walking off the field after getting ejected. We've decided to do an interview tomorrow so he can talk about what he did, the frustration, etc.
I'm looking forward to talking to him about it on the air because it gives him a chance to give his side of the story. Again, that will be tomorrow evening at roughly 6:50 or so.

South Bend Silver Hawks Pitching and Catching Academy

Not Quite 1,000 and a Few Other Notes
So upon further review, the last post wasn't number 1,000. It was actually 996 due to a quirk where sometimes blogger saves a "draft" of a post before you publish it, thus showing the same post twice. Either way, we're approaching the milestone and I stand by everything I said in the previous post.
A few other notes from the Silver Hawks today:
-RHP Brad Wilson will start and make his South Bend 2010 debut. He pitched in relief for the Silver Hawks in 2009 (only two appearances -- 4.1 scoreless innings).
-Reliever Brian Budrow has now thrown 9.2 consecutive scoreless innings since allowing a run on June 12th at Cedar Rapids.
-Keon Broxton is tied for the Minor League Baseball lead with 11 triples. He's one shy of tying the South Bend franchise record (12 by Victor Hall in 2001).

Post Number 1,000
This post is my 1,000th since starting this blog in March of 2009. I don't really have anything special to say other than my fingers must be tired from all the typing I've done the past year and a half.
When I started this blog, I envisioned it as a way to give some additional information about the team that you wouldn't find on the main silverhawks website. I also wanted parents of the players to stop by and get a glance at some photos from the stadiums while we were on the road, giving them an idea as to where their sons were playing.
While I maybe haven't taken as many photos as I thought I would, I never imagined that I would receive over 200 page views per day on this blog. I continue to be amazed at the unwavering support of the fans.
The best compliment I've ever received came from the parent of a player on last year's team. He wrote me an email saying "While I don't always agree with what you say, you tell it like it is and are very fair in your broadcasts." I hope that you all feel the same way and know that I truly appreciate all the kind words, emails, and support from the fans.
Oh, one more thing...don't worry about this team yet. It's still a better start in the second half than it was in the first half, and just because they struggle against the Loons, I still have confidence in this team's ability to be a playoff team. There is more talent on this team than maybe any other team in the league. They are growing and I'm seeing a lot of improvement even though it doesn't always seem like it.
Unfortunately, the Silver Hawks are snake bit against the Loons and the frustration sets in from time to time with the players, coaches, and even the broadcaster, but I look forward to being finished with the Loons for a while after tonight's game and seeing what the Silver Hawks can do against everyone else in the league.

• The South Bend bullpen has allowed just one earned run in 14.2 innings over the last four games.
• First baseman Ramon Castillo has hits in each of his first 11 games for South Bend, tying Matt Davidson for the longest hitting streak this season.
• Chris Owings has not yet played in the second half due to plantar fasciitis.
• Keon Broxton recorded his 10th triple yesterday, tying for the league lead and he is now just two shy of the franchise record.
• Pitchers Andrew Wolcott and Brad Wilson have been added to the roster over the last two days.

Hawks Back to Full Strength
RHP Brad Wilson was added to the roster today. He's expected to be the starting pitcher tomorrow.
This puts South Bend back to 25 active players (and three on the disabled list).
Full story can be read on www.silverhawks.com.
One more note: Catcher Ryan Babineau is back with the team after spending the last few months rehabbing in Arizona. He is still on the disabled list, and I don't know the timetable for a return. However, it's nice having him back because he's a great leader in the clubhouse and his veteran presence might help this young team.

Featured Silver Hawk - David Narodowski
This week's Featured Silver Hawk is utility player David Narodowski. Narodowski, a native of Vancouver, Canada, talks about his decision to play baseball instead of hockey as well as what it was like having the 2010 Winter Olympics in his home town. The article can be read by clicking this link.
First Place!!!!!
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!

For those of you who weren't able to catch last night's broadcast, the pre-game ceremony was the retirement of manager Mark Haley's number 51. It's an honor that is greatly deserved and major congratulations go out to Mark. Below is some video from the ceremony.
