Weekly updates, quotes, news, and notes from the Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A Eastern League affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
The Hartford Yard Goats have spoiled their fans so far this season. The team has been so successful that a week in which they had two different losing streaks of two games feels like a disaster.
Hartford still leads the Eastern League with a record of 22-8, so it is not as though the sky is falling. The pitching staff still owns a 2.08 ERA, a full run better than the next best Eastern League team. They have four shutouts, one complete game, and two flirtations with no-hitters.
